Katie & Nadine in 2014: Week 17

Day 113
Non-Stress-Test at the doctor's office

Non-Stress-Test beim Arzt

Day 114
We have some steps that go down to our fireplace area in the living room. The previous owner of our house left us a giant childproof gate and we decided to put it up, so we can have a dog-proof area for our baby swing and pack n' play for the next few months!

Wir haben ein paar Stufen, die zu unserem Kamin im Wohnzimmer fuehren. Die vorherigen Hausbesitzer haben uns ein riesiges kindersicheres Gitter hinterlassen und wir beschliessen, es zu installieren, damit wir fuer die naechsten Monate einen sicheren Platz fuer unser Reisebett und die Babyschaukel haben (damit die Hunde nicht ans Baby kommen).

Day 115
This is how I spend every day after work these days...I've been so tired!

So verbringe ich jeden Abend nach der Arbeit...ich bin so muede!

Day 116
Family Dinner at our house

Familienessen bei uns zuhause

Day 117
Our bags for the hospital are semi-ready, just have to grab all of the last minute things when labor starts! The box next to the car seat is our Cordblood Kit (click here for more info on cordblood banking).

Unsere Koffer fuer das Krankenhaus sind fast fertig gepackt, wir muessen nur noch ein paar Dinge in der letzten Minute packen, sobald die Wehen anfangen. Die Box neben unserem Autositz ist fuer unser Nabelschnurblut (hier gibt es mehr Info dazu).

Day 118
I know he won't be using this bathroom for a long time, but we started decorating it anyway! We already had fish light switch covers in there and got a bunch of whale themed bath accessories at our baby shower, so we decided to stick with the theme. We got a shower curtain, the bathmat, a soap dispenser, trash can and new towels. 

Ich weiss, dass er sein Badezimmer noch lange nicht benutzen wird, aber wir haben schonmal angefangen es zu dekorieren. Wir hatten bereits Fisch Lichtschalter und haben zu unserer Baby Shower eine Menge Badezubehoer mit Walen bekommen, also beschliessen wir, das Thema so weiterzufuehren. Wir haben den Wannenvorhang, die Badematte, einen Seifenspender, Muelleimer und neue Handtuecher gekauft. 

Day 119
38 weeks (and 4 days) pregnant!

38 Wochen (und 4 Tage) schwanger!

      It's a picture frame that we got as a gift. You can put the baby's hand and foot prints on it and the hospital said to bring everything, because they will do it there! And the big white thing next to my suitcase is my pillow! I'm still struggling with the going home clothes for myself as well, I don't know if I should back maternity clothes or just really big regular clothes. If all fails, I just go home in yoga pants. :)

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...
