You can kinda see the wave from the bambino.

Oy... busy busy

Hi all-- sorry for the extreme lack of updates, it's been really busy around here! Let see, last weekend we were running lots of errands yada yada, Monday I had another u/s, Tuesday I was visiting my friend in the hospital with her *new* baby girl (congrats Laura, and welcome baby Isabella!), Wednesday is a blur (aka not sure what I did on Wednesday!), Thursday found out that I have a lovely bladder infection, and didn't know it, and Friday and today we had kid's birthday parties galore to attend...! Whew! My main problem is that now when I'm at the computer Abbie insits on "helping"-- and if I tell her to find something else to do or ask her not to type while mommy does, I am met with hysterical screaming for nothing short of 20 minutes (minimum)... therefore the computer stays locked tight in the cabinet most of the time lately!

Everything here is good though-- it is seriously winter in Germany now-- everything is all frosty by 10pm, and stays that way til noon. We are supposed to get a whole buncha snow next weekend... YAY! I can't wait to take Abbie in the snow, hopefully she'll like it this year (unlike last year... "mom, I can't move my arms"). All is well in pregnancy land too... bambino looks like a little alien, and hopefully we might be able to find out what it is (duh, of course it's a baby... I mean boy or girl) at my appointment on the 28th-- I will be 14 weeks, so if it's a boy it may be evident by then (and yes, I do think this one has boy bits).

Anyhoo, that's about it for now. I know, I'm horribly boring.

I'll post ultrasound pics too.

He's Back!

Yay! Andrew got home last night around 8pm-- Abbie was totally pumped! She did not want to go to bed last night... she wouldn't leave her daddy's side. She spent the entire hour before we made her go to bed climbing all over him and bringing her toys to share with him. The downside is that she isn't used to his morning noise anymore, and was up EARLY this morning thanks to his shower! I tried to get her to take a nap, but she's in there awake. I guess I should go get her outta bed!

Forgot to mention...

Andrew is coming home soon! YAY! Hopefully sometime mid-next week! YAY! He can't come home soon enough, things have been tough down there.

Any of you praying types, keep one of our Army spouses in your prayers (I really shouldn't include her name, I don't have her ok)-- her husband was killed in an autobahn accident on his way back up here from the training area with a supply shipment on Thursday. He worked with my husband, and was a fantastic guy. She is doing I guess as well as can be expected, as no one up here was prepared for something like that, I mean they're training, not at war yet! No one has the thought in the back of their minds that a chaplain may show up at their door in a class A uniform to inform you that something has happened to the one you love-- at least not until next year.

The truck driver that hit him while they were checking their truck on the side of the road was from the Czech republic... I hope they let the German govt punish him.

Throw Me a Par-tay!

I deserve a party... the kitchen and the living room are sparkling clean, and the "dining room" (more like the other half of the living room), is almost there!

Google moogles

I have seen this on a few other blogs, and it's pretty funny. Go to google and type in your name + needs-- aka "Amy needs", and see what comes up!

Amy needs to either wake up or start getting some extra will-power.

Amy needs to get out the monkeysicle and do some tests on him and what not.

Amy Needs Help!!!

Amy needs a drug-dealer's testimony to free a teenager wrongfully accused of murder.

Amy needs to decide if this fits her idea of a good relationship

Amy needs to mend her ways and be more of a team player.

Amy needs a new pair of shoes

Amy needs to be found.

Amy needs a flu shot - like really really needs a flu shot.

Amy needs a loving, committed family who will provide structure and stability and have the ability to understand her growing process

Amy needs to generate schemas for these documents because schemas are more powerful that DTDs and are the recommended way of describing XML documents.

Amy needs to hit the sack

Amy needs to take off

Happy Birthday Martine!

Hehe, I am sneaky-- I may not be up at midnight (yes, Tine is 6 hours older here in Germany!), so I changed my post time to be on her actual birthday!

Have a great one Tine!

My little grumpy monkey was not happy with me about the whole daycare situation while I went to take a peek at her little brother or sister-- she wouldn't smile for the camera all night long (well, my camera, she smiled for other cameras!). She loved trick or treating and got lots of good candy for mommy though!
