Photos ...

I haven't really taken many photos of me pregnant with no.2. Family and Friends have been asking to see what I look like pregnant, and I haven't been in the mood to display this all over the internet. I mean why would I?! Afterall I don't feel like a model strutting my stuff on a NYC Catwalk, instead I feel like an blue whale that ate too much krill (although I don't eat fish ... but you get the point)!

So anyways ... my dear Swiss Hubby asked his Boss if he could take some professional photos of the 3 (well four) of us at Grün 80 Park in Muttenz.

Here were the results ...

So whicha think??? Not too bad of the family! We were really quite impressed with them!

Motherhood

This sums up what my Mom means to me ...

Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.

Movie Review...

I realize I am REALLY late on watching this movie, since it has been out since ohhh Christmas 2008! But we just bought it at Ex-Libris and I give it TWO THUMBS WAY UPPPPPP!!! LOVED IT! Highly Recommend it! Even Princess enjoyed it ... especially when they played or sung "Over the Rainbow"!!

My New Nickname for the Month ...

"Mommy your a BIG BIG MONSTER!"

"Why Princess?"

"Cos YOU said NO!!"

The Joys of Pregnancy ....

Lately I have been feeling a lot like the photo below!

Life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside.

More Easter Postings ...

We had a really great Easter Weekend! It was SUPER busy trying to prepare for the inlaws to come over, but we managed to prepare everything and it was an success!

Happy Birthday To Meeeee!!!

Yeah I have to give a shout out to ME .. since it is my Birthday Today!

Hubby and I are going to enjoy a evening with the inlaws, WITHOUT any children at Bad Bubendorf Resturant.

Also we are expecting another Girl

I went to Bruderholz this morning for a 3D ultrasound which didn't work out since our little Princess wasn't cooperating! So I now have another appointment in 2 weeks to try it again. But least we were able to get a black and white ultrasound photo.

Great Imagination

For a while now Princess thinks that we have "secret identities!"

She insists that I am Dorothy and calls me this instead of Mommy

I shouldn't have never showed her this photo of me!

She THINKS her daddy is Prince Charming

She even tells me I have to go find my own Prince Charming, because Daddy is hers!

And/OR she will call her Daddy

Then my lil Princess THINKS she is the following ...

A bad witch with a GOOD HEART

OR

And/or depending on her mood ...

I just hope she doesn't want to take flying lessons out the window!

Hubby and I often joke about the secret identities that she has for us. And he mentioned that often he gets quite confused on what he should be calling our daughter that day. I told him "well stick around, she will correct you, so you call her by the right name!" After all she is Three Years Old (going on three in half).

Stayin Alive!

We are alive and kickin' - I have just been super lazzzzzzy about posting on here! Plus nothing too exciting has been going on.

The weather here in Switzerland has been in a really strange funk lately. It realllyyy wants to be spring but the little bit of winter doesn't quite feel like it is ready to depart as of yet. During the week, it is usually cloudy, we get rain and snow (as shown below) ....

Then on the weekends it is absolutely beautiful with the sun and it is actually warm. Then that is when we take full advantage and try to be out and about in Nature.

Beat and Marissa at Lido Beach

In the beginning of the month I had a doctors appointment and I asked the doctor if she could tell us what we are having ... and she said that she THINKS it might be another girl. I wasn't really buying it, since at first she said she couldn't tell because the legs were crossed, then not even seconds later she said she THINKS its a Girl! I mean I wouldn't mind either way a boy or girl, but I would like a better answer. So on March 25th we are heading down to the hospital to get an 3D ultrasound, and then maybe they will be able to really see everything, and let us know if we are going to be getting another girl or not.

Me of course - (pregnant with no. 2 - week 25)

Ohhh ... and what else took place in the beginning of the month was Fasnacht. To read more about it click here
