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. :)

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'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
