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!

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!

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...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha. 

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...
