Rudy sleep talks/moves at random times and sometimes its really odd and sometimes it's really funny. The other night I got up to get the baby, it was about 11 or midnight, and he had already been asleep for a little while, but she had not wanted to sleep that night. I was sitting on the side of the bed and he sits up so I look over at him and he ( Read more... )

I measured myself before I came to Germany. It was probably about Juneish time when I did it. The reasoning was because I wanted to lose weight and whatnot, however, due to that I actually have "pre-pregnancy" measurements of what I used to be. At the moment I am currently about 4 cm's bigger around my hips, 2 cm's bigger at my waist, and almost ( Read more... )

Arabella is almost six weeks old. Did you know that after having a baby they advise you to have a six week recovery before doing anything such as swimming...or sex...because you are supposed to give that area time to heal and everything. Well today is my "six week check up" where they tell me if I'm fine and healing well and such ( Read more... )

I've been wanting to write somewhere about everything going on as of lately, but haven't really had much time and don't really know where the best place would be to write, so I figured I'd start here. Not sure how much time I'll even have to write due to my baby girl probably waking up at any minute now, but that's okay ( Read more... )

Today has been such a happy day for me. I've finally started to get better again after getting whatever cold/fever/flu, whatever it was that seemed to attack everyone everywhere. This is amazing, because it means my energy is coming back, so I'm able to not feel like I'm dying from standing for a few minutes. It's quite lovely really ( Read more... )

So far in pregnancy I really haven't experienced any sort of abnormal mood swings, that could be partially because I'm sorta crazy as is so adding extra hormones to the mix doesn't change it a whole lot. I have had major dream mood swings in which I snap at people and yell at them about something (usually just Rudy) but when I wake up, I'm fine ( Read more... )

we've had a pretty good last couple weeks. Christmas Eve we went to our friend Marcy and Nathans house for dinner. I was in a terrible amount of pain, but it wasn't the normal nausea pain, so I dealt with it and went anyway. While there we played a couple games and hung out for awhile, then Rudy went to watch the Hobbit with some of the guys. I ( Read more... )

Since we are in Germany A lot of pages that I pull up are in German. All the other ones seem to be in French because Rudy decided he wanted to have it that way. So when I want to read my "friends page" I click on "Page d'amis ( Read more... )

For about a week now the house that we are staying at (the one we are house sitting while the family is in the states) decided it wanted to stop allowing us to feel warmth. The pilot light went out and would not turn on is basically what happened. Not warmth through the heaters, no hot water. It was sorta awful. It's not easy to feel like your ( Read more... )
