Baby Luehmann - Week 29

Week 29 Weight +20 Pounds  Waist +9.5 Inches  Cravings: Nothing in particular  Dislikes: Still not loving the oil on my belly. This past week Antonella has been moving in a new way, she just moves her limbs across my belly and moves slowly, pushes parts of her body out and stays there for a seconds and then stops. it's different, I like it, like I like all her movement. Sleeping has gotten a little bit...

Daddy training

For K's birthday last December I got him a gift certificate to go shooting and he had not had a chance to do it until last week. While he was there taking a test for them to let him shoot he ran into a friend of ours that has his own guns and riffles and he let him shoot his AR-15. Caleb came back home so excited, he had the best time and I was so happy he loved it. How timely that our friend was there. K thinks God is training him...

Measuring Antonella

When we go to the doctor she measures my belly and always says yeah you are right on track. And Caleb takes pictures of the event every time but most pictures we can't share because I find them 'indecent' or 'vulgar' (my husband makes fun of me every time I use those words haha, writing them I see why they sound so dramatic).  Here is one I was ok wi...

Maternity clothes

  It is getting trickier and trickier to wear my clothes but I am insisting on not buying any maternity clothes, I made it this far I am sure I can make it all the way to the end.  My friend Mel gave me some of her maternity clothes and last week I wore her denim shorts and those were very comfortable, so I understand why women buy maternity clothes, but the few items I got from here + the few items I got from my sister...

Nieces and Nephew

  While our family was here for Mother's Day we went to Seaworld and I got to spend some time with Titus at the hotel before we left.  Aren't those kids the most adorable kids? I wish we could see them more often!...

Baby Luehmann Week 28

Can you see the beam that is not attached at the top? that is what I was looking at, we fixed it =)   Week 28  Weight +19 Pounds  Waist +8.5 Inches  Cravings: Nothing in particular  Dislikes: My oily belly, getting dressed is such a hassle after having put on oil! I gained over 2 pounds this week, I didn't feel like I was eating more or she was growing more but the scale doesn't lie haha. I did feel...

Caleb practicing

  A couple weeks ago someone donated a bjorn looking thing and we decided to take it and give it a try.  After a couple minutes of trying to figure out how to put it on someone we finally got it right and it is perfect. Caleb then decided to throw a football in it. It is in perfect condition so I am going to wash it and Antonella will be carried around in it....

Mother's day pics

        I know I already wrote about Mother's Day, and I know these pictures aren't phenomenal but I wanted to put the 3 pictures we took at lunch to remember my first Mother's Day Lunch. The company was perfect, the view was perfect, the food was perfect.  I almost burned the place down by putting 4 churros in a toaster, but thankfully my husband came to the rescue and all that was burned were the churros....

Friends and babies

Before we left Colombia my girlfriends and one of my sister's friends came over to have a snack and chat and just spend time together. Some of this girls I've know since we were 5 or 6 years old and some of them already have babies. It is crazy how time goes by, it flies and before you know it you are almost 30 and you are chatting with your childhood friends about delivery, diapers and sleep deprivation due to a crying baby....

Baby Luehmann Week 27

Week 27 Weight +16.5 Pounds Waist +8 Inches Cravings: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Nothing Obviously Antonella is growing just fine, my basketball belly is proof. We had a doctor's appointment and the midwife saw the baby was already heading down, apparently she doesn't have enough room in that short torso of mine so she is in position but wiggling quite  bit. I also met with a social worker who asked many many questions...

Celebrating Willie

  My dad's birthday is on May 11th, but we decided to celebrate it while we were in Colombia with a raclette and his favorite thing to do with us, family games. Raclette grills are not very popular in America but they are quite big in Colombia and I must add, they are awesome. Caleb and I are seriously thinking about investing in one for they make any get together really fun and tasty. I...

3D Ultrasound

This is when we got our 3D ultrasound in Colombia. My dad, mom, Milena, Maff and Wilson were there. It was wonderful. We laughed every time someone made a comment in regards to Antonella's looks, everyone just sees something different.  They kept saying she's beautiful and I turned to the technician and asked if every body says the same thing, obviously the response was yes. I had to get up and walk around for a while, and...

Grandpa met Antonella

Men and technology   While I was in Colombia my Dad had to be take a trip to Guatemala which is why I didn't get to see him until Sunday. He was so excited about my belly, he talked to Antonella for a while and rubbed and rubbed my belly. He loves her so much, he writes her the sweetest emails and I cannot wait for her to read them one day and know her grandpa has been praying for her and loving her for many years. Mile and Juli...

My Perfect Mother's Day

Yesterday morning I woke up at 6am, my husband asked me to stay in bed for a few minutes before getting up and getting in the shower and so I did. We snuggled and he just whispered "Happy Mother's Day" in my ear. It was my happy place and the day could have ended right there and I would have had the best day possible. After being there for a bit, breathing slowly, together, sharing short sentences, and just enjoying each other I got up and showered. When I came back in the room a card was waiting on top of my pillow. He always gets me the...

Baby Luehmann Week 26

  Week 26 Weight +15 Pounds Waist +7.5 Inches Cravings: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Nothing This week being back home was great. Getting back in our routine was great and going back to doing Pilates and drinking smoothies was lovely.  I have been getting back pain, which according to all the books and all the moms is pretty normal, that doesn't minimize, however, how annoying it is. I can't walk as far as I used...
