Week 29


February 22nd, 2014

























How far along:
29 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
Butternut Squash

Total weight gain:
20+ lbs 

Maternity Clothes?
I caved in and bought myself some clothes this week. A maternity shirt, a nursing tank and a nursing bra. I probably need some more T-Shirts for when it gets really hot and I’m still looking for that perfect nightgown for the hospital. I also have no idea what to wear for our maternity photo shoot...any input?

Stretch Marks?
No new ones. I can’t even find the one on my backside anymore, which is probably for the best!

Sleep?
Terrible this week! I can deal with the trips to the bathroom, but I’ve been having horrible backaches and can’t get comfortable. It feels like I have a pinched nerve and it only hurts on the right side of my back.

Best moment of the Week:
Taking some baby classes with Katie and buying some cute outfits for the little one...we just can’t help ourselves! I also didn’t get a call from my doctor, which means that I passed my glucose test...yay!

Movement:
All the time! 

Food Cravings:
I was craving smoothies this week, but unfortunately only had one so far! I’m also still drinking chocolate milk like it’s going out of style!

Belly Button in or out:
Still in. 

Gender:
Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:
The backache is getting really bad. The only time I’m not hurting is when I stand or walk around, so when I can’t take it anymore, I put my work laptop on a countertop and work standing up. Nights are even worse and I can’t imagine how much more intense it will get in the next few weeks. 

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Feeling great!

Have you Started to Show yet?
Yes! I do like to mess with people though and tell them I’m just a little chubby, when they ask me if I’m pregnant...haha.

What I miss:
Not being in pain sitting or laying down. My clear skin...although, I’m almost forgetting what that was like...it’s been so long! I miss some of my regular clothes and sleeping well.    

What I'm looking forward to:
Our baby shower at the end of March.  

What I'm not looking forward to:
More aches and pains and having a 70-hour work week starting on Monday! 

Weekly Wisdom:
Wow...we learned so much during our baby classes this week. Katie was probably most shocked about the fact that you’re supposed to stay home with the baby for at least two months...lol.


Wie weit:
29 Wochen

Baby ist so gross wie ein:
Butternut-Kürbis (nennt man das in Deutschland so???)

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Mehr als 9kg. 

Umstandskleidung?
Ich habe diese Woche aufgegeben und mir ein paar neue Klamotten gekauft. Ein Oberteil, ein Stillshirt und einen Still-BH. Ich brauche vermutlich noch ein paar T-Shirts fuer den Sommer (der bei uns quasi schon angefangen hat) und ich bin immer noch auf der Suche nach einem Nachthemd fuers Krankenhaus. Ich habe auch keine Ahnung, was ich fuer unsere Schwangerschaftsfotos anziehen soll...irgendwelche Ideen? 

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Keine neuen. Ich kann nicht einmal mehr die Schwangerschaftsstreifen auf meiner Hinterseite finden, was wahrscheinlich ganz gut so ist.

Schlaf?
War diese Woche schrecklich! Ich habe ja kein Problem damit, staendig zur Toilette zu muessen, aber nun habe ich auch noch unglaubliche Rueckenschmerzen und kann nicht mehr bequem liegen. Es fuehlt sich so an, als haette ich einen eingeklemmten Nerv und es tut nur auf der rechten Seite meines Rueckens weh. 

Bester Moment der Woche:
Ein paar Schwangerschaftskurse mit Katie zu besuchen und ein paar suesse Klamotten fuer unseren Kleinen zu kaufen...wir koennen einfach nicht aufhoeren! Ich habe auch keinen Anruf von meinem Arzt bekommen, was bedeutet, das ich meinen Diabetestest bestanden habe...hurra! 

Bewegungen des Babys:
Staendig!

Heißhunger:
Ich hatte diese Woche Heisshunger auf Smoothies, aber leider hatte ich bisher nur einen. Ich trinke ausserdem weiterhin ohne Ende Kakao.   

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Immer noch drinnen!

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge!

Symptome:
Die Rueckenschmerzen sind wirklich kaum auszuhalten. Es tut den ganzen Tag weh, ausser wenn ich stehe oder laufe. Wenn es auf der Arbeit gar nicht mehr geht, dann stelle ich meinen Arbeitscomputer auf die Theke und arbeite im Stehen. Die Naechte sind noch schlimmer und ich kann mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie es in den naechsten Wochen vermutlich noch viel schlimmer werden wird.  

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Nein, ich fuehle mich super!

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Ja! Es macht mir allerdngs Spass, Menschen zu erzaehlen, dass ich nur ein bisschen pummelig bin, wenn sie mich fragen, ob ich schwanger bin...haha.

Was ich vermisse:
Ohne Schmerzen sitzen oder liegen zu koennen. Meine klare Haut, allerdings habe ich schon fast vergessen, wie es damals war, es ist schon solange her! Ich vermisse ausserdem ein paar meiner normalen Klamotten und gut zu schlafen. 

Worauf ich mich freue:
Auf unsere Baby Shower Ende Maerz. 

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Mehr Schmerzen und auf meine 70-stuendige Arbeitswoche, die am Montag beginnt. 

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Wir haben in unseren Babykursen soviel gelernt! Katie war vermutlich am meisten geschockt, als sie hoerte, dass wir mit dem Baby mindestens zwei Monate zuhause bleiben sollen....haha.

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...
