Week 25

January 25th, 2014


How far along:
25 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
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!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
