So, here we go again!!! I’m 15 weeks along already and felt it ‘safe’ to post about our new addition that will be arriving mid November. Have waited on announcing this new addition as we lost twins about 8 weeks in last October…and it was very sad. I took photos of my belly every week from week 6 to 14 as I read so many times that one pops out so much faster in the second pregnancy than the first…well, I tell ya! At 15 weeks, I look like I looked when I was 6 months along with our first born!
Here is a look at my belly for you. Top Left is 6 weeks and Bottom Right 14 weeks. Two of the weeks are doubles…and did not see it as a problem as there was no real big difference in my belly size.
Not a huge difference right, now check my 15 week belly man! Crazy!!
Today I feel pregnant and I look pregnant and I want to shout it out to the world !!

Tomorrow we will be 4 months along (16 weeks). I have felt the little one move around 14 weeks. Not every day, but over the two weeks I have felt the baby move 3 times so far. Also got myself a City bike (because one sits strait up and do not lean forward, so lots of space for growing belly) with a hanger for our two year old and so far so good. I feel super. Taking it easy and really just doing it for the fun of it. Summer time here in Germany is great and they have awesome bike paths.

19 Weeks pregnant. It’s summer time over here in Germany and today is so hot! Sleeping is mission as every turn pulls on my tummy some how…ai…experienced some fake labour pains/cramps over the weekend…thinking it had to do with the Habanero hot chilli we ate 😉 Aaaa yes, talking about food, geez I feel like eating and never stopping some days!?!?! 😀
Would really like not to gain so much weight as I did with my first pregnancy so really have to pay attention to what I stuff down …boy is that hard sometimes!
Here is a pic of me at 19 weeks. Kinda loving the fact (now that we are well past 3 months) that I’m showing so much! It’s the second best part of being pregnant…feeling the little one move takes first spot.

Had our second baby scan today and was hoping to see what we will be having… our Dr. started off by saying that its a Girl and then later on in the scan she thought she saw something but could not get a good look again because of the little ones position…so, she says 70% boy… hopefully we will be able to be sure before we give birth, but until then we will be working on names for a girl and a boy. Everything is looking good. Little one is swallowing as we could see the tummy space and there is kidney function and the brain is looking good too and there is some bottom brain thing present that means that there is no spinal problems.
Here is a pic of our little one at 20 weeks and 3 days sucking a thumb!

Its a BOY !!
Found out on Wednesday that we are expecting a little boy! I’m 7 months pregnant at the moment.
Cadence is going to have a little brother!! Totally unexpected! I was not expecting our third scan to be done on Wednesday. But glad we had it! My Dr said: “Ja, it is very clear what you are having…O’ I told you what you are having right?? O, well here…what do you see?? Yes, its a boy”
Feeling ok. Back pain and cannot get a good nights sleep. Have two exams coming up in October that I need to start preparing for. It is a lot of work to go through. Have time, but should get onto it a.s.a.p !
Don’t think Cadence really knows about the baby. We do ask her about where the baby is and she sometimes points to my tummy saying “There’s the baby!” Think she will only really ‘get it’ once her little brother has been born and she gets to hold him for the first time!
So…not long to go! Really looking forward to holding our little boy!

30 weeks pregnant. Asked my midwife if I am still allowed to ride my bike with a kiddie hanger for our 2.5 year old and she said that its fine. Actually much better to have a bike hanger for the little one instead of having her sit on my bike in the back. So that was nice to hear. Really trying to keep my weight under control this pregnancy as I picked up heaps with my first. Our little boy is moving heaps and thankfully not kicking my ribs to bits…yet.
Have to call the hospital some time this week to make an appointment and sort out all the paper work before we give birth. Took about and hour and a half last time with Cadence.
Feeling good. Mood can be low some days and not much I can do about that. Have been having bad leg cramps so taking Magnesium supplements.
Yea…looking forward to holding the little man! We are still trying to find the perfect name for him. Hard to find a name for a boy!

33 weeks pregnants. We have a name for our little man! It hits the spot 😉
A little bit stressed at the moment with two exams coming up fast next week…have been trying really hard to get down with the books today….would LOVE to just get in bed and read my book ‘A Dance with Dragons’ by George R.R. Martin! Not long to go before baby brother’s birth! So, husband is looking for a new job. Got an offer yesterday, but wanting to keep our options open he is still heading out to two more interviews this week….Kinda nice knowing his got a job in the bag…so, not long to wait any more before we know where we will be living next year. But for now…one step at a time. First get my exams sorted, then get my Hospital Paper work sorted….should start sorting out my Hospital bag too…then to give birth and move. Yea, we can do this!!!

Wow…have now reached 38 weeks (and one day) and I am so ready for our little man to come! AND we are expecting a full moon tomorrow…interesting!!! Hope the moon does some magic and help our baby along 😉
Have started packing stuff away we are not making use of and it feels good to get rid of stuff we really don’t use. All good!
Hoping that all this packing and moving helps to bring baby boy. REALLY do not want to waddle around for another 3 weeks!
Sleeping is a pain, literally. My hip bones are so sore sometimes…and then there is the belly and baby and our almost 3-year-old that has taken to sleeping with us in our bed and taking up most of the space…ai…O, and don’t forget our two cats! One really full bed at 2 in the morning as driven me to go sleep on our couch more than once, and that is kinda super comfy at the moment! Thank goodness for small blessings right!?
Have checked in at the hospital, so that is sorted…had my hospital back packed, but now all the bits are all over the flat…now as I understand it, it’s when this is the case, baby will come…you know, when you are least prepared for his/her arrival…haha
AAaaa, yes. I would like it to be over and sometimes I do wonder about just staying pregnant for a bit longer, but that changes really fast when I try to clean or even breath…it is time. He must come.
Now said the same thing when I was this far along with our first and she ended up coming at 40 weeks and 6 days. Arggggg….trying not to think about it and REALLY hoping this full moon thing proves to be accurate!

Miles Häusler, Born on the 19th of November 2011 at 8:49, weighing 4020g and 56cm tall.
Took just as long as his sister and ended up getting an epi, just like his sister.
Was so glad when he was finally born and I could hold him.
