How far along:
16 weeks

Baby is the size of an:
Avocado

Total weight gain:
12lbs.

Maternity Clothes?
Maternity Pants half the time.

Stretch Marks?
Haven’t found any yet.

Sleep?
Getting worse. Still going to bed around 9pm each night.

Best moment of the Week:
Going shopping for our baby boy! "Grandma" Sandie took us on a little shopping spree and "Grandma" Rene already ordered all of the nursery furniture we wanted for us! Baby J is blessed to have such excited and generous grandmas (and grandpas)! He’ll be spoiled rotten!

Movement:
Still nothing.

Food Cravings:
Still loving Sandwiches and I’m also still craving my Greek Pita, but Katie promised to go get one with me in a few days!

Belly Button in or out:
In.

Gender:
Baby Boy!

Symptoms:
I think I’m slowly turning a corner. The nausea and exhaustion have gotten much better, I wish my skin will follow soon.
Other than that, I really can’t complain!

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
I’m feeling a little sick/queasy each morning before I eat breakfast, so that’s the first thing I do.

Have you Started to Show yet?
Still waiting for that first stranger who will ask me if I’m pregnant!

What I miss:
Same old, same old…where has my clear skin gone?

What I'm looking forward to:
Getting the nursery furniture delivered (some at the beginning of December, and some at the end of December) and celebrating Thanksgiving in Mexico with Katie’s grandparents.

What I'm not looking forward to:
Nothing.

Weekly Wisdom:
Katie’s family is the best!


Wie weit:
16 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Avocado

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
5,5 kg.

Umstandskleidung?
Ich trage 3-4x pro Woche meine Schwangerschaftshosen.

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Ich hab noch keine gefunden.

Schlaf?
Wird immer unbequemer. Ich gehe immer noch jeden Abend um 21 Uhr ins Bett.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Als wir fuer unser Baby einkaufen waren! Katie’s Stiefmutter hat uns zu einer kleinen Shopping Tour eingeladen und Katie’s Mutter hat bereits alle Moebel, die wir fuer das Kinderzimmer haben wollten, fuer uns bestellt! Baby J hat so ein Glueck, so aufgeregte und grosszuegige Omas (und Opas) zu haben. Er wird sehr verwoehnt!

Bewegungen des Babys:
Immer noch nichts.

Heißhunger:
Ich liebe immer noch Sandwiches und ich habe ausserdem immer noch Heisshunger auf griechische Pitas, aber Katie hat mir versprochen, dass wir in den naechsten paar Tagen dort essen gehen.

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen.

Geschlecht:
Junge!

Symptome:
Ich glaube wirklich, dass es langsam besser wird. Die Uebelkeit und die Erschoepfung sind mittlerweile viel besser geworden und ich wuenschte, dass meine Haut auch bald besser aussieht.
Mal abgesehen davon, kann ich mich nicht beklagen!

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Mir ist immer noch etwas schlecht, wenn ich morgens wach werde, bevor ich fruehstuecke, von daher ist dies das erste was ich morgens tue.

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Ich warte immer noch auf die erste fremde Person, die mich fragt, ob ich schwanger bin!

Was ich vermisse:
Das gleiche wie letzte Woche (und die Woche davor, und die Woche davor): Wo ist meine reine Haut geblieben?

Worauf ich mich freue:
Auf die Lieferung der Moebel fuer das Kinderzimmer (ein paar kommen Anfang Dezember und der Rest Ende Dezember) und darauf, mit Katie’s Grosseltern Thanksgiving in Mexico zu feiern!

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Nichts.

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Katie’s Familie ist die Beste!

  1. Zum Thema Bewegungen des Babys: Ich habe mal eine Freundin gefragt, wie sich die ersten Bewegungen anfühlen. Sie meinte: "Wie ein Pups im Bauch" Und so ist es auch. :D
    Die erste (sichtbare) Bewegung meiner Tochter war ein Fußstupser, das war soooo süß, das vergisst du nicht mehr. :)

  2. I agree with your nurses, your scales must be broken- you do not look like you've gained 12lbs, such a cute little bump!

  3. I'm now 21 weeks and still don't have my clear skin back! :( But it is getting better! Its no fun, but it could be worse, right?

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

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...
