My sister got me a book for Christmas called "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy." It's all the stuff that you would hear not so much from your doctor but more from a sister or your friends who have had babies. It's a good book but I think the author is a bit cynical ( Read more... )

Well the news has pretty much been spilt but I thought it would be good to make it official on LJ. I'm pregnant! Derek and I found out on December 13th and we were absolutely surprised! (shocked really.) I haven't been to the Dr. yet (especially since I don't have one and I live in a foreign country!) but the babycenter.com due date calculator says ( Read more... )

Wow it's been a while. Lif without internet leaves me no time to update LJ. Luckily Derek and I found a darling little cafe with a hotspot where we can sit and drink Glühwein and check our email ( Read more... )

Oh my god. I'm in hell. I'm having to put together a rep list for my Yale admissions materials and it is SO HARD! I can barely remember what I did last week let alone all the pieces of music I've ever studied.

Could this day get any better?!?!?

HUZZAH ( Read more... )

OK. Day 6 in Bornheim (or as I like to call it, Boringheim). I'm slowly losing my sanity. Derek had his "Matriculation" yesterday, if that's even what you can call it. Basically he handed in some forms, we shopped, then went to a question and answer session for 30 minutes which made me want to die a little ( Read more... )

OK, things are getting a bit better here. Yesterday was a good day. We went to church in the morning which was lovely and quaint. Of course it made me miss Christ Church SO badly! Then we came home where we particpated in a huge feast (or some kind of family gathering) for the rest of the day. The Müllers entire family came over and we broke out ( Read more... )
