*Zero morning sickness.
*Have a little baby bump.
*Still fit into all clothes. They are a little snug now.
*Still the same weight. Yipee.
*Already having a hard time sleeping on my back. I sleep on my side. Weird.
*Love waking up in morning because My bump is very hard and I feel like I can feel the baby. I know I can't but it is very hard and I never get tired of feeling it. When I get up from bed it's gone :(
*All in all fairly easy pregnancy.

Time sure does fly when your with loved ones
I always tell Amanda that even though life can be SO rough sometimes with 2 kids, just enjoy the ride. Enjoy the noise. Enjoy the chaos. Enjoy the tears, smiles, laughs.
I would do anything to have a chaotic life right now. I wish for loudness in my house. I wish for a messy household. Too much alone time is never a good thing. I went from being so busy in Indiana to not having much at all in Switzerland. My laundry day is my most packed day. When I don't have people here with me the clock seems to stop. When I had my mom and Steve here it was always, "it is already 5????" How does this happen? When we are with people we love we don't really think about anything else in the world. Everything that matters is there. I say loved ones because believe me I have been with people I didn't care for and time still stops then too. It is not fun picking through your brain of what to say next. I have prayed to God before some get together's. God, please give me things to talk about. HA. If you are reading this, believe me it is not you.
I can't wait for the moment my son or daughter comes home for the first time. June couldn't get here fast enough. I long for the sleepless nights and the jam packed days. I can't wait to feel my purpose in life. I know I will be a good Mom. Had I not had Switzerland I don't know if I would be feeling this way. I know a lot of people that have kids but don't feel the love and compassion I have. I have known what it is like to be for silence to GO AWAY. Most people would die for some peace and quiet. I have had too much. I will be a different Mom because of this experience. Before moving I always needed to be around people. I always was waiting for the next thing to happen. Coffee at Starbucks has now turned into a huge event for me. Oh boy, if I have a Starbucks outing today that might take up 3 hours of my time. I will enjoy the small moments. The less eventful moments of baby G just sleeping. I will know how much more the baby has added to my life. The silent moments will be few and far between. I can't wait.

Momma is in Switzerland
Can you believe it? My mom and Steve came to Switzerland. Probably one of the most exciting times of my life. I was so anxious at the airport that Andy was like Kenzie STOP, we will find them. I just couldn't wait to show off our new city. I also couldn't wait to just feel at home.
I took for granted all the years of my life where I always had people at any moment to be with. Moving to a foreign country has been the toughest experience of my life. There are moments where you feel so out of place you just want to hibernate and never come out. Having your mom here means all that fades away. I can be me. I don't have to fake smile or pretend to like something. My mom knows me best. It is 2 weeks of JOY. 2 weeks of never finding myself lonely or sad. 2 weeks of conversation whenever I want it. Boy is it lovely.
Of course I get extremely sick when they get here. I am 14 weeks pregnant and it has nothing to do with baby symptoms. I got a terrible cold-flu. I woke up Sunday night, throat almost closed and threw up a fun amount of times. Well the catch is we were supposed to leave for Salzburg at 6:45 in the morning. All of this happened at 3 am. What is great about being pregnant and being sick is that there really is not a lot of drugs you can take. Tylenol becomes your best friend. I used to laugh at Tylenol. It never did anything for me. Now it is my savior. I laid on the couch and prayed for healing. I prayed so hard because it is not everyday my mom is in Switzerland. I thought to myself if I just made it on the 6 hour train ride there I could sleep in the hotel till I felt better. I knew if I stayed in Basel I would have regretted it till the end of time. I can honestly say I can't recall ever feeling as sick as I did then. I got up and we were off to Salzburg.
Next Blog about Salzburg. Back to where I was. My mom just brought me green tea. This is what mothers do. If only Andy were a woman.... I need to take notes on how to be a great mom one day. Sometimes I think selfishness might get in the way. What if I don't want to make my daughter green tea? Oh well we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Talk about 2 people that don't complain at all. Steve and my mom came here with zero expectations and went with the flow the whole time. I am not just saying this because it is my mom but seriously it was the easiest 2 weeks ever. The answer was always we can do whatever. My mom and Steve always cleaned our house and made sure everything was perfect. I would be getting very emotional writing this blog but Andy and I go home to the States on Friday for a month. I don't really have to say goodbye to my mom. YIPEE!!! I feel blessed.
