Week 18

Here's the first of many pictures to mark the growth of my baby bump (not the best, but oh well)! :)  It's fun to see things happening and starting to show a bit more.  Still wish I would pop out more, but that will come before I know it.

This week has brought a new level of pain in my hip, perhaps a pinched nerve.  It can be extremely painful.  I went swimming tonight in hopes to help loosen something...it felt good, but when I got home, it started to hurt again really bad.  Any body got any tips??

  1. You look so cute! Enjoy the non-popping while you can :) Although, I remember being pregnant with Isabella and wanting those days to come, too. Now, I'm popping out so much that people are giving me those pitied expressions and can't believe when I tell them I still have 2 months to go! I don't have any tips for your hip pain, but maybe a heating pad??

  2. I have heard that there are chiropractors that specialize in helping pregnant women. Maybe that would help you unpinch and straighten things so that you wouldn't have pain. They have special ways to work with women who are pregnant. Just a thought.

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...

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
