Happy Easter!

I wish everybody a Happy Easter weekend. Unfortunately here in the USA we have to work FR and also MO... urgh... so everybody in Germany, enjoy the days off you get for free :).

Did you know that the UK has a day off at the day of the wedding of Kate and William? Too funny... I'm so excited about it, of course I'm gonna watch it :)...

Yesterday we went to Silke and Joe for a Easter-Fire BBQ, it was so much fun. Of course we were more Germans than Americans *lol*... Wow, I think only Frank and Joe were Americans! It was great, the sun was shining and the kids had a blast as well as us adults. With Zoe being the youngest and not walking yet, she wasn't able to totally go with the kids but they let her play with them and Zoe was busy crawling through the grass, go up and down the deck and have FUN FUN FUN. Now I have the first pair of jeans with grass stains in it *lol*... I guess I have to get used to dirty clothes sooner or later... with a boy on the way I can only imagine how much I'm gonna use the washing machine soon *lol*. It slowly sinks in with 'having a boy'... Silke is going to lend me all her clothes that she had with Janos, that's making everything a lot easier... I guess I won't use most of Zoe's clothes again :(... she's still getting mistaken for being a boy even though I kind of dress her girly, but everybody loves her smile and thinks she's a Cutie :). She says 'Hi' to everybody when we go shopping and brings a smile onto most of the American faces ;)...

She's very much trying to put on socks and shoes by herself... very determined that she's gonna succeed one day, too cute :). Taking shoes and socks off isn't a big problem but she really want to put them back on again as well. She's a very happy baby, got over her sickness, just a little runny nose (like normal)...

So... we won't do any Easter Egg hunt today... I bought some dying stuff for eggs but I figured Zoe is too young to do all this. I bet though she would find each and every egg with her scanner eyes :). Next year I'm gonna do it though, the whole program... it's gonna be a blast... I remember us kiddos being so excited searching for the Easter Eggs. The one Easter I have pretty much in my memory when we just moved to Delmenhorst and we were Egg hunting outside, my basket was hidden behind the bath tub that was still standing outside on the patio *lol*... and Dana and I got a little frustrated because we couldn't find our baskets right away *lol*... maybe it's just so good in my head because we saw video footage of it later in our teenage years... yeah, good times...

It's a BOY

Who would've thought this... but we got a few confirmations that we're going to have a little boy... it's still very weird just thinking about having a boy. He looked soooo handsome and has big hands and feet (and a big you know what... I couldn't believe it!!!).

One side shot totally looked like my mom... I could see her nose/mouth/chin expression in him... that was so amazing. And he was moving A LOT... very camera ready and wanted to pose all the time ( I like that).

Here some pics of our little new addition called: Henry

His name will be: Henry Michael - named after both our fathers :)
Here his foot:
and his hand, showing us the way:
his hand again, he was opening and closing his fists a lot... that was sooo cute:
Yes... what a surprise... :)... cool thing... now I can go shopping all over again for blue *lol*... and of course he's getting a blue themed room :). So I have one pink and one blue :)...

First BooBoo and Baby Movements

This morning started scary! Zoe was standing in her chair, leaned against the arm with the toys on it and of course Zoe lost her balance and was hoping the arm would hold her... well she fell head first off the chair against the stone of the fireplace :(... luckily she was fine after a little crying... she has a little bump on her forehead but other than that she was herself for the rest of the day... of course nothing has to touch the bump or she would be hurt.

Oh man... that was scary!!!

Our second one made it's appearance today by making me feel movements. It is incredible... I remember feeling Zoe move in my belly and I was so sad that she'll be out some day and that I would miss it big times... honestly I haven't even thought about that at all... I guess I was so busy being a mom *lol*... and now I have the opportunity to feel it all over again *YEAH*.

Unfortunately I got sick over the weekend... I'm just not a fan of being sick... it doesn't fit well together with being a mom AT ALL!!! Well... I'm getting better now I think...
