Nothing new.

Not yet.

Sleep?
Getting more uncomfortable. Katie said I moan like I’m in pain in my sleep. 

Best moment of the Week:
Seeing our boo on the ultrasound today and spending a relaxing weekend in Mexico. 

Movement:
All the time. We actually saw the kicks from the outside last weekend, which was so weird and special at the same time! While the kicks usually felt like big air bubbles, there were two times where he kicked me so hard that I squirmed in my seat...it was a completely different and more intense feeling!

Nothing unusual.

Still in, but getting more shallow.

What I miss:
My clear skin and sleeping comfortably. Especially sleeping on my back or stomach!

Spending some time with family this weekend and finishing our baby registry. 

What I'm not looking forward to:
Is it too early to not look forward to sleepless nights? :)

Weekly Wisdom:
Chill! 


Wie weit:
24 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie:
Mais

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Meiner Waage zufolge habe ich 9,5kg zugenommen, aber nach der Waage beim Arzt habe ich nur 7kg zugenommen, also wer weiss?

Umstandskleidung?
Nichts Neues. 

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Noch nicht!

Schlaf?
Wird immer unbequemer. Katie sagte, dass ich im Schlaf stoehne, als haette ich Schmerzen.

Bester Moment der Woche:
Als wir unseren kleinen Mann heute auf dem Ultraschall sehen konnten und ein entspannendes Wochenende in Mexico zu verbringen. 

Bewegungen des Babys:
Staendig! Wir haben am Wochenende tatsaechlich seine Tritte von aussen sehen koennen, was total komisch und toll zur gleichen Zeit war. Normalerweise fuehlen sich die Tritte wie grosse Luftblasen an, aber es ist zweimal passiert, dass er mich so hart getreten hat, dass ich mich erschreckt habe, es war ein total anderes und intensiveres Gefuehl. 

Heißhunger:
Nichts ungewoehnliches.  

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Noch drinnen, aber er wird immer flacher.

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge!

Symptome:
Schwangerschaftsakne, Genervtheit, staendig zur Toilette zu muessen, Schmerzen in meinen Rippen (keine Ahnung wo die her kommen?).

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Nein, ich fuehle mich super!

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Der Bauch wird jede Woche groesser! 

Was ich vermisse:
Meine reine Haut und gut zu schlafen. Vorallem, dass ich nicht mehr auf dem Ruecken oder Bauch schlafen darf.

Worauf ich mich freue:
Zeit mit Katie’s Familie am Wochenende zu verbringen und unsere Baby Registry fertig zu stellen.

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Ist es zu frueh dafuer, sich nicht auf die schlaflosen Naechte zu freuen?

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Relax!

  1. I had pain in my ribs too! It's from your uterus expanding upwards. It was so sharp & painful for me when it first occurred (I have a freakishly short torso). Doing prenatal yoga 5x/week has helped tremendously for me! I only feel a dull pain now, usually at the end of the day. Also, try to lay down (rather than sit or stand) as much as possible to give your belly space. Hope you feel better! Take it easy, mama!

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...
