How far along:

Ear of Corn

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!

Pregnancy Acne, Irritibility, Having to go to the bathroom constantly, Pains in my ribs (not sure where those are coming from?).

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
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!

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'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
