28 Week Bumpdate

...28 Weeks is here...
...Baby Ring is kicking up a storm and making her presence known...
...we can't believe she'll be here in just a few months!!!


Size of baby:  The size of an eggplant! About 2.5lbs... :) Growing, Growing!
(as you may have noticed I deleted the baby ticker at the top, because it hasn't been updating properly...just an fyi)

Symptoms: Heartburn, many bathroom stops, hungry every few hours.

Cravings: Still loving fresh fruits and vegetables.  Grapes are a fav at the moment.  

Something you miss: Being able to sleep through the night without pit stops and bending over without any limitations. :)  

Milestones: We now have a crib and changing table in the nursery!  YAH!  We need to decide on colors and then paint.  After that, the closet can be put together (over here you don't have walk-in closets that are there, so you have buy closets).  I'm looking forward to getting that up, so that I can start washing organizing baby clothes and other baby things.  Saturday, a dear college friend and another good friend are throwing a baby shower for me, the church ladies and the ladies from Felix's family.  I am really excited about it. 

Looking Forward To: Meeting our little girl in about 12 weeks.  Going to the doctor for a normal check-up on Monday. 

Prayer for our baby this week:  That she will continue to develop and be strong and healthy.  That we will know how to raise her in a godly home. 

PS I stole this idea from a blog!  I thought it was fun and wanted to do it. :)

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...
