Week 15 + 16

I'm home from school today - resting and trying to get over the nasty stomach virus that I had yesterday.  It was a rough day, but thankfully today is much better.  This gives me some time to update my blog. 

Week 15 in my pregnancy was finally the week were I was able to keep food down and feel much better.  It happened just on time, too, since that was the week Felix's family and us drove to the mountains.  They got to go skiing and I got to relax, take walks, swim, read and rest!  It was wonderful!!  I'm very thankful for the time we had together and the down time I was able to have.  Here are some pictures that I took while there:



The snow was so beautiful!!

Last week was Week 16 and minus a few days of not feeling too great, it was pretty good otherwise.  I'm still trying to figure out how much rest I need and how much I can do.  I was able to bake and cook on Friday - I haven't done those things in months!!  Felix was surprised to come home to the smell of dinner.  :)  He's been taking over meals, which has been such a huge help!!  I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. 

Today in a week, we have another doctor's appointment.  If the baby is in the right position, we could be able to find out what we are having!  I hope he or she is ready to show us what they are!!  Everyone keeps asking and wondering.  I dreamed the doctor said it was a boy ... we'll see if that's true or not.  :) 

Happy Monday everyone ... I hope any nasty sick bugs stay away from you!

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...

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi...

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
