How far along:
25 weeks

Cauliflower...dang, when did this happen?

Total weight gain:
I didn’t weigh myself this week.

Maternity Clothes?
Nothing new. Still wearing a mix of both.

Stretch Marks?
Not yet.

Sleep?
Pretty uncomfortable this week and I know it’s just going to get worse from here on out!  

Best moment of the Week:
Finishing our baby registry and buying some cute stuff for Baby J! We also celebrated a late Christmas with Katie’s family and our little boy got spoiled! These days, I’m more excited to get presents for him than for myself! :)

Movement:
Constantly! The kicks are getting stronger and I feel him all day, every day... it feels like he never sleeps!

Food Cravings:
Nothing unusual. 

Belly Button in or out:
Still in...I wonder for how much longer!

Gender:
Sweet baby boy! Our doctor keeps confirming it at every appointment...haha.

Symptoms:
Pregnancy Acne and having back and rib pains. Not fun!

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Feeling great!

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

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

What I'm looking forward to:
Our hospital tour this weekend!  

What I'm not looking forward to:
Getting more uncomfortable with my growing belly in the coming weeks. 

Weekly Wisdom:
Baby Shopping is overwhelming and I was so glad to have Katie by my side to make all the decisions I couldn’t make!  


Wie weit:
25 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie ein:
Blumenkohl...wow, wie ist das so schnell passiert?

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Ich habe mich diese Woche nicht gewogen.

Umstandskleidung?
Nichts Neues. Immer noch eine Mischung aus beidem.

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Noch nicht!

Schlaf?
Ziemlich unbequem diese Woche und ich weiss, dass es von nun an nur noch schlimmer wird! 

Bester Moment der Woche:
Unsere Baby Registry fertig zu stellen und ein paar suesse Sachen fuer Baby J zu kaufen. Wir haben ausserdem ein spaetes Weihnachtsfest mit Katie’s Familie gefeiert und unser kleiner Mann wurde verwoehnt! Heutzutage freue ich mich mehr darueber, Geschenke fuers Baby zu bekommen, als fuer mich. :)

Bewegungen des Babys:
Staendig! Die Tritte werden immer staerker und ich kann ihn den ganzen Tag, jeden Tag, fuehlen...es fuehlt sich so an, als wuerde er nie schlafen!  

Heißhunger:
Nichts ungewoehnliches.  

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Noch drinnen...ich frage mich, wielange noch!

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge! Unser Arzt bestaetigt es bei jedem Ultraschall...haha.

Symptome:
Schwangerschaftsakne, Rueckenschmerzen und Schmerzen in meinen Rippen. Gar nicht lustig! 

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:
Genau wie letzte Woche: Meine reine Haut und gut zu schlafen. Vorallem, dass ich nicht mehr auf dem Ruecken oder Bauch schlafen darf.

Worauf ich mich freue:
Auf unsere Krankenhaustour naechstes Wochenende! 

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Mich in den naechsten Wochen immer unbequemer zu fuehlen. 

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Baby Shopping ist eine Menge Arbeit und ich war so froh, Katie an meiner Seite zu haben, denn sie konnte Entscheidungen treffen, wenn ich es nicht mehr konnte!

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...
