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!

5,5 kg.

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!

  2. 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. :)

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

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
