How far along:

Well, according to my scale, 21lbs, but the scale at the doctor’s office said 15lbs today, so who knows?

Maternity Clothes?
Nothing new.

Stretch Marks?
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!

Food Cravings:
Nothing unusual. 

Belly Button in or out:
Still in, but getting more shallow.

Sweet baby boy!

Feeling great!

Have you Started to Show yet?
Getting bigger each week! 

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

What I'm looking forward to:
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!

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
