Mom and I were in Kaufland buying stuff for my birthday dinner for tomorrow night. We were riding up the escalator thing and we were each kind of in our own world when all of a sudden mom says something that just about makes me pee my pants...
"So, do you think if your water breaks while were on this thing, we'll get electrocuted?"
Wow...where did she get that one from...but I guess it is a serious concern. I tried googling it, and couldn't find anything...the mystery continues...

It's a....
GIRL!!!
Yeah! Markus and I found out yesterday that we are going to be having a little girl. And let me tell you, there is no room for doubt that it is a little girl! As soon as the doctor put the ultrasound thingee on my stomach, she flashed us the goods. It was REALLY clear!
So, now I'm off to Regensburg for the English speakers' Brunch and Books...or is it Books and Brunch? Whichever. All I know is afterward I'm off to buy a cute little girl outfit! Yay!!!

A few things I have learned while being pregnant
I know, I know. I've only been pregnant for a few months now, but there are a few things that I have learned.
*When you drink sparkly water, and then must throw up said sparkly water, it is still sparkly. I think this is one of the weirdest things that I have learned.
*Gummy bears come up liquidy. Gross, I know. But this is something that I have learned.
*Your friends can give you advice for hours on end. Some of the things may work, some may not. You just have to figure out what works best for you. One of my friends told me that her "morning" sickness was over right after the 3rd month was over. Not so for me.
*Sometimes, my mouth tastes like I have been sucking on change. That's a pretty nasty taste.
*A 20 minute nap can do wonders for me.
*Don't take a bath when you are feeling nauseous. It'll make it worse.
*It doesn't matter if your mom didn't have morning sickness. My mom says she didn't, but I have definitely had a "healthy" dose of it.
*I love milk so much, but right now, I cannot stand the sight of it. Weird.
These are just a few of the things I have learned. I'm pretty sure that there will be more to come.

Finally!!!
We have pictures of the baby (now to be refered to as peanut)! Woohoo!!! Peanut was moving so much though, that it was really hard to take any really good shots of him/her...let alone be able to tell the sex. The doctor compared peanut to a tadpole...always on the move. She used the word "Lebendig" and I translate that as animated. Just like his daddy...well, maybe at this time more like Charlie. :) Even though peanut was moving so much, there were 3 times that we were able to take a shot, so here they are! And, I've explained them out as well in a separate photo :). Yeah!!!
Oh, and the doctor took some measurements. From the top of it's head to it's tailbone is roughly 57mm...or did she say 75mnm...I'm not too sure. But peanut is hunched over, so he/she is probably a bit bigger. I was too busy watching peanut jump around, so I didn't quite catch it...but I do know that she said a 5 and a 7, just not sure of the order. Peanut's upper leg is 12mm. Those were some of the fun measurements.
The first one is the best shot in my opinion. You can see the arm and the fingers really good. Plus the head is there. Peanut didn't feel like giving us any profile shots though, but that's ok...there's always hope for next time!
Here is the second shot. Peanut is kind of laying on his/her side with I believe their butt towards us. So camera shy at such a young age!
Here is another good one. A view from the top. This is looking at peanut straight on. After this was taken, peanut continued jumping...I wonder when I'll start being able to feel all of the movements this little peanut is making.
So all in all, a great day at the doctor. She said that peanut was super active, a great sign, and looking to be in perfect health. All of peanut's measurements are where they are supposed to be (even if I can't remember what they are exactly). My next appointment is on April 7, so hopefully there will be another peanut update then!
UPDATE: Markus said that the doctor did in fact say 75mm. It's a good thing one of us was paying attention!

I'm PREGNANT!
Woohoo!!! Now I can finally say why I've been so under the weather...I'm pregnant!!! We've known since Jan. 2, via pregnancy tests, but this past Tuesday, we were able to see the heartbeat! How exciting! I'm due on September 10, just two days before my birthday, so maybe it'll be a little late...I'll post more later! I just wanted to tell the world!
