Week 19

December 14th, 2013

How far along:
19 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Mango

Total weight gain:
Still haven’t weighed myself, because our scale broke. I will find out at our appointment next week!

Maternity Clothes?
Nothing new.

Stretch Marks?
Not yet.

Sleep?
Still pretty good. I’m having weird dreams though!

Best moment of the Week:
Our friends gave us the exact bedding we wanted for the nursery, which was way out of our budget. They bought it for one of their sons who never slept in his crib, so it’s basically brand new! So sweet of them!
We also set a date for our baby shower and picked out some invitations…it’s crazy how fast this time is flying by! And even more crazy that we’ll have a baby shower…I never thought we would get there!

Movement:
I’ve been feeling all kinds of weird things in there, but I can’t tell if it’s the baby or not, so for now, I’m still waiting!

Food Cravings:
None.

Belly Button in or out:
In.

Gender:
Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:
Same old, same old.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Thankfully not. Those first four months were horrible and I’m so glad I feel better now.

Have you Started to Show yet?
Katie keeps commenting how huge my stomach is compared to how it used to be, but I still feel like it’s tiny, considering that I’m almost half way through this pregnancy.

What I miss:
My clear skin. And lunch meat.

What I'm looking forward to:
Getting the nursery ready and christmas!

What I'm not looking forward to:
The holidays being over so soon…this year went fast!

Weekly Wisdom:
Setting up a baby registry is a pain in the butt. It seems like there are a million and one things we need to research before making a decision.


Wie weit:
19 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Mango

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Ich konnte mich nicht wiegen, weil unsere Waage kaputt ist, aber wir werden es bei unserem Arzttermin naechste Woche heraus finden.

Umstandskleidung?
Nichts Neues.

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Noch nicht!

Schlaf?
Immer noch ziemlich gut. Ich habe allerdings sehr seltsame Traeume.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Unsere Freunde haben uns genau die Bettwaeche fuers Baby geschenkt, die wir haben wollten, allerdings war sie fuer uns viel zu teuer. Sie hatten sie fuer ihren Sohn gekauft, der allerdings nie in seinem Babybett geschlafen hat, von daher ist sie so gut wie neu! So lieb von ihnen!
Wir haben ausserdem einen Termin fuer unsere Babyshower festgesetzt und uns Einladungen dafuer ausgesucht…es ist verrueckt, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht! Es ist noch verrueckter, dass wir in ein paar Monate eine Babyshower haben werden, ich haette nie gedacht, dass wir irgendwann einmal eine haben wuerden!

Bewegungen des Babys:
Ich fuehle alle moeglichen komischen Dinge in meinem Bauch, aber ich habe keine Ahnung ob es das Baby ist oder nicht, von daher bin ich noch am warten! 

HeiĂźhunger:
Nein.

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen.

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge!

Symptome:
Genau wie letzte Woche.

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Zum Glueck nicht! Die ersten vier Monate waren schrecklich und ich bin so froh, dass es mir nun besser geht!

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Katie sagt mir staendig, wie gross mein Bauch im Vergleich zu frueher ist, aber ich habe immer noch das Gefuehl, dass er ziemlich klein ist, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich schon fast die Haelfte der Schwangerschaft hinter mir habe.

Was ich vermisse:
Meine reine Haut. Und Wurst!

Worauf ich mich freue:
Das Kinderzimmer einzurichten und auf Weihnachten!  

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Dass die Weihnachtszeit bald wieder vorbei ist…dieses Jahr ging es ruck zuck!

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Eine Baby Registry zu erstellen ist eine Menge Arbeit! Es sieht so aus, als braeuchten wir eine Millionen Dinge, die aber vorher erst noch im Internet nach Bewertungen gecheckt werden muessen!

  1. Wow, I feel like a failure as I didn't know about the lunch meats. I was given a list of foods to avoid at my 8 week midwife appointment but lunch meats weren't on it. I couldn't eat them during the first trimester anyway but now I have a turkey or salami sandwich every day for my lunch.

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...
