Brunch

Ups, Wednesday is already almost over... and with that January, 27th of 2010! Today I had Franziska over for brunch and we spent some hours talking about this and that. Time went by to quickly I couldn't believe it when we looked at the clock again! Tomorrow is Zoe's calculated 'Due Date'... only 4% of all first born babies will make it on their due date! I'm kind of curious what happens to the trigger tomorrow... is she falling out of the last flower? I'll check right away tomorrow :).

Also we have our 40 week midwife appt. tomorrow morning.

New home office

Did I post the new home office already? I think I didn't! Here a picture of it... we moved it downstairs into the previous 'reading room' and we love it. Now we have all the bedrooms upstairs and all the other rooms downstairs. We like it a lot... Well... I know... I have to be patient. I guess it's just tough for me to enjoy being lazy!!! Just came back from my morning walk... I think today I'm gonna try for three walks. I heard you'll recover better if you're walking a lot prior to giving birth.

I have found already two shows I started watching: natural births at home/ in birth centers and bringing home baby.

Tomorrow I'm having Franziska over for brunch... I look forward to that.

Ok, time for my shows... and lunch :).

@ Jela & Jenny: Yeah... I guess she's not gonna be born on January, 26th! Tomorrow is my guess day... but I don't think she'll decide for that one either.

First day at home!

Hhmmm, very weird... my first day at home. I was a little sad this morning when Frank left for work and I was just not going anywhere... but I've packed my day already with lots of things that can be done and I should be pretty busy until the afternoon.

The shower needed a scrub down, bedding needed to be washed and now I'm taking a little latte break with a nice creation again:
See, now I can enjoy a latte every morning :). Isn't that awesome? Delicious.

Next I'll dry my hair so I won't get more sick than I am already... still fighting with a blocked nose every now and then :(... and then I'll take a walk through the neighborhood and run some errands. Will stop by at babies r'us as well :)... it's always cool stopping at that place. Plus I can still use the parking spot for 'expecting Mom's', that alone is worth it going there *lol*.

Well, and as you can tell... I'm still pregnant *lol*... I'm done shifting around this big belly... specially at night to change sleep positions... it's just not so easy anymore... can you imagine rolling over from one side to another and dragging a heavy stone with you every time? BUT... can't complain, still get lots of sleep and I don't have so much longer. I'm doing everything I can to get her out before this month ends... you'll see... I'll be successful!

Ok... let's do some workout next...

Oh, and sorry if my posts are getting sooo boring in the next couple of days ;)... just be patient with me... and soon you'll get many interesting posts of our little one growing up! That will be a blast following I bet! I'm very excited about it.

New Espresso Cup

Today we did big shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond. That's a store where you can buy almost everything for the house hold... kitchen, bath and bedroom stuff and more... here our new little espresso cups with a finished espresso in it... i'm finalizing my latte's every day :)... they taste sooo good :)Luckily while breast feeding one cup a day is ok as well *YEAH*. Well Zoe is used to one cup of coffee a day, why should she bother when she's out ;)... it's just too delicious.

So funny... the first time I noticed something wasn't right with me was when I haven't had a taste for coffee anymore... who would've thought I was pregnant! Well, Frank knew already... but I had no clue until that day *lol*. But as you can tell... I got that taste back... but it lasted a couple of weeks... very weird.

... 4 more days to go.

39 weeks

Man... another week has gone by!!! Amazing. Ok, here we are at 39 weeks... 7 more days to go until Due Date:So... since I was sick all last week (stupid sinuses) and very crappy because I could barely breath through my nose => less sleep... I decided to make tomorrow my last work day and start my maternity leave on Monday.

Today we were again at the midwife and everything looks normal again, besides my blood pressure :(... it was 110/90. My second number was never that high... I guess it is the nose spray I took besides inhaling to free my nose ways. But oh well... on the positive side I didn't gain any weight for the second week in a row now :).

Yesterday we took a tour through the hospital and checked out the unit where the deliveries happen. Was ok... it's a hospital, what can I say! ;)... but our midwives are just great so we'll be in good hands.

Hot Mama - Part II

Today I got the rest of the pics... and Kathy is right. Too many good pics to choose one. That will be a very tough decision to be made with one will be the one in Zoe's room. We'll wait until her pics have been taken and then we'll see what matches up the best:

So I had this nice idea... when it's warm outside and Zoe can sit (might be next year) I'm gonna take some shots with her and her daddy on the Harley :). Uuuhhhh, they'll turn out totally cute I bet.

... 10 more days to go until our Due-Date... :)

Baby Room - ready

We are ready for her... Frank assembled her changing table and dresser during the week and I just cleaned them and put up the decoration. I think we did wonderful. We're very happy with the results... here a look into her cute nursery. Can't believe we'll have a new family member soon...

Our theme is: Butterflies and Flowers as you can see ;)
