Week 14

November 9th, 2013

How far along:
14 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Lemon

Total weight gain:
5lbs this week…can this be right? I’m up 11lbs total.

Maternity Clothes?
I’m wearing some maternity pants and I’m also still trying to make some of my regular pants work, along with the Belli Band. I’m still doing okay with my regular shirts, they’re just getting tighter!

Stretch Marks?
None yet.

Sleep?
Going to bed at nine these days! Sleep is okay, but having some really crazy dreams lately.

Best moment of the Week:
Picking out some stuff for the nursery (haven’t bought anything yet though).

Movement:
Nothing yet.

Food Cravings:
None.

Belly Button in or out:
In.

Gender:
We’ll find out in just a few days! I couldn’t be more anxious or excited! I feel like this pregnancy will feel much more real after we know if we’re having a boy or a girl! We already have names picked out and I can’t wait to start buying stuff!

Symptoms:
Still kicking my butt. I have cut my anti nausea medication in half about a week ago and have been dry heaving each morning ever since (sorry tmi). I’m just taking it one day at a time and hope everything will get better soon.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Car Rides and not eating frequently.

Have you Started to Show yet?
I always wonder if strangers think I’m pregnant or if I’m just a little chubby! :) Either way, I love my belly and I’m proud to show it off!

What I miss:
Same things as usual…my energy, feeling good, my clear skin.

What I'm looking forward to:
Finding out the gender! I told everyone who is coming to our ultrasound that they had to wear blue or pink to cast their vote, so far I think the “teams” are split evenly!

What I'm not looking forward to:
More of these pregnancy symptoms.

Weekly Wisdom:
Just roll with it!


Wie weit:
14 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Zitrone

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Mehr als 2kg diese Woche, kann das richtig sein? Im ganzen habe ich soweit 5kg zugenommen!

Umstandskleidung?
Ich trage ein paar Schwangerschaftshosen, aber versuche ausserdem weiterhin, mit meinen normalen Hosen und dem Belli Band zu improvisieren. Ich trage weiterhin meine normalen Oberteile, sie werden nur etwas enger!

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Bislang noch nicht.

Schlaf?
Ich gehe zur Zeit immer um neun ins Bett. Schlaf ist okay, aber ich hatte diese Woche ein paar wirklich verrueckte Traeume.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Moebel fuer das Kinderzimmer auszusuchen (wir haben aber noch nichts gekauft).

Bewegungen des Babys:
Noch nicht.

Heißhunger:
Nein.

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen.

Geschlecht:
Wir werden es in ein paar Tagen heraus finden! Ich bin so nervoes und aufgeregt und freue mich riesig! Ich habe das Gefuehl, dass die Schwangerschaft sich “wirklicher” anfuehlen wird, sobald wir wissen, ob wir einen Jungen oder ein Maedchen haben werden. Wir haben uns bereits auf Namen geeinigt und ich kann es kaum erwarten, ein paar Sachen fuer unser Baby zu kaufen!

Symptome:
Sind immer noch ziemlich schrecklich. Ich habe vor einer Woche meine Medikamente gegen die Uebelkeit auf die Haelfte herabgesetzt und muss nun jeden Morgen nach dem Aufstehen wuergen. Ich versuche einen Tag nach dem anderen zu nehmen und hoffe, dass es bald besser wird.

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Auto fahren und wenn ich nicht oft genug esse.

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Ich frage mich immer, ob fremde Leute denken, dass ich schwanger bin oder einfach nur ein bisschen dick! :) Wie auch immer, ich liebe meinen Bauch und bin stolz auf ihn!

Was ich vermisse:
Die gleichen Dinge wie zuvor: meine Energie, mich gut zu fuehlen und meine reine Haut.

Worauf ich mich freue:
Herauszufinden, was es wird! Ich habe allen, die zum Ultraschall kommen, gesagt, dass sie entweder was blaues oder pinkes tragen muessen, um ihren Tipp abzugeben. Ich glaube bisher haben wir die gleiche Anzahl von Leuten in jedem “Team”!

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Die Moeglichkeit, dass es mir weiterhin schlecht geht.

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Just roll with it!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
