Big news

It's time to announce that Felix and I will be joined by a third party sometime late July.  I am 13 weeks pregnant and we are very excited about this little baby!!  This first trimester has been quite rough - thus the lack of blogging.  I haven't felt up for writing or taking pictures, nor have I had much to write about besides being tired, feeling very nauseous, and taking frequent uncomfortable trips to the bathroom.  I'm hoping this week or the next will take a turn for the better.  Felix has been taken such great care of me.  I couldn't ask for a better husband!  I am truly blessed!!

We had our 3rd doctor visit today.  The baby was soo active - kicking and moving the little arms and legs!!  It was so precious to see.  This is all such a miracle!!  We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out what we are having, so either the purple boots will be perfect or they'll have to wait for another baby to come along.  I'm quite curious to see if this is the 6th granddaughter on my side of the family or the first grandson.  We just pray for a healthy and strong baby.

I'll try my very best to keep updates going on here on how the baby bump develops.  And hopefully, my blogging will become a bit more consistent, once I'm not spending quite so much time on the couch and losing my meals.

So there you have it!  I can't wait to see what these next months hold for us and to meet this little one!!  It's such an exciting time of life.

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...

Day 18

I've been doing the 30 day praise challenge, that my friend introduced on her blog . It has been really good focusing on all the different reasons we should praise the Lord. Today, day 18, couldn't have come at a better time (well, it would have worked for several other days, but today especially). The verse to start off the devotion is: Do not judge,  and you will not be judged.  Do not condemn,  and you will not be condemend.   Forgive,  and you will be forgiven.    Luke 6:37  Great verse for today, as I got smooshed into an elevator with Zoey. Seriously, the lady behind me couldn't have been any closer to me. I had to learn to get just a tiny bit of distance from her. Talk about uncomfortable. I get pretty frustrated with how rude people are, since my mobility is a bit limited due to bringing a small one along with me everywhere. I've had some close calls of getting on/off trains or trams, simply because no one wants...

the little things

My day is filled with doing little things... wiping noses changing diapers fixing hair brushing teeth doing dishes straightening up books and toys that land everywhere tying shoelaces doing load upon load of laundry folding said laundry putting on hats making sandwiches  putting littles down for a nap and on  and on and on. Sometimes I get tired of the mundane. I get tired of life right now being so .... regular ... every day seems so the same. I was talking to my sister the other day about it and I said, I wouldn't want to change it, but yet sometimes the mundane gets to me. I get restless. I feel like the hamster running round and round the wheel and it's always the same. {just different friends and playdates} Today over breakfast while feeding the baby, I listened to a podcast {ahem, part of one }. And this really got to me: Love well in the little things. With great love .  Which is part of a very big thing - raising a fam...
