Day 50
Another Doctor's Appointment where we got to see our boo! My favorite days! The office has a huge flatscreen on the wall across from me, which is awesome!

Ein weiterer Arzttermin, wo wir unseren kleinen Mann bewundern konnten! Ich liebe solche Tage! Die Arztpraxis hat einen riesigen Flachbildschirm an der Wand gegenueber von mir haengen, was super ist! 


Day 51
Getting a bunch of Etsy Orders in the mail.

Ein paar meiner Etsy Bestellungen haben es zum Briefkasten geschafft.

Another free baby class at Babies R Us, this one was called "Baby Basics" and we liked it a lot. Tomorrow we're attending another class about Babyproofing your house!

Ein weiterer kostenloser Babykurs bei Babies R Us, dieser nannte sich "Baby Grundlagen" und wir mochten ihn sehr. Morgen gehen wir zu einem Kurs, der darum geht, sein Haus kindersicher zu machen. 


Day 54

Ein Spaziergang mit unseren "Jungs" am Sonntag Nachmittag.

29 weeks (and 3 days) pregnant!

29 Wochen (und 3 Tage) schwanger!


Day 56
Getting our paperwork to do taxes in order...ugh! I couldn't believe how many medical receipts we accumulated in the last year. I mean, I knew we spent a lot of money on making our little miracle, but when I saw that my bills alone came to $45,000, I almost fainted. Worth every penny and more! 

Ich habe unseren Papierkram fuer die Steuererklaerung zusammen gesucht. Ich konnte gar nicht glauben, wieviele Arztrechnungen wir im letzten Jahr angesammelt haben. Ich wusste, dass wir eine Menge Geld fuer unser kleines Wunder ausgegeben haben, aber als ich feststellte, dass meine Rechnungen alleine sich auf $45,000 beliefen, bin ich fast umgekippt. Aber er war jeden Pfennig und noch mehr wert!

    Wow, $45000-while I'm sure you'll say it was more than worth it, I hope most of that was covered by your insurance!

    I have just added up our clinic bills and for one IUI it came to a total of £2535/$4250(all paid out of pocket), so only a fraction of your treatment costs....

      Unfortunately, that was all out of pocket. Insurance didn't cover any of it. I miss the german health system! :)

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...
