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!

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:

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!

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...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
