Stacy & Lemon, 15 Weeks
(Admiral Lemon is the name we came up with for our little one, Sebastian and I came up with Lemon - we wanted something gender neutral, and that was the baby's size when we spoke - and a few friends insisted on it being Admiral Lemon...maybe so they could salute my tummy occasionally??)



After many requests I've decided a new blog is in order. This will be especially important once the move to Germany is complete. It's very important for me to feel connected to family at this time, so please feel free to comment, e-mail, write etc. I also want to make sure you all know what the Weiss-Weddings are up to and I'm going to be posting less and less on Facebook. (BTW, did you catch that? Weiss-Wedding.... translation = White Wedding...!) If you are not on Skype (family, I'm talking to you - friends too of course) please join! It's free and I'll be depending on Skype as my primary form of communication for a while. If you are on Skype - please make sure I have your Skype name, I've tried to find some of you and haven't been able to. You guys are very important to me, and I don't want to miss out on communications and such because I'm a few thousand more miles away!!


Enough about that!

In the next 24 - 48ish hours I'll be purchasing my flight to Germany. One of the only one way tickets I've ever purchased! I'm still not sure if this will allow me to be in Michigan for the 4th of July. There are MANY factors weighing in on this decision, and it's pretty much the hardest thing I've ever had to decide. With that said, I'll keep you all informed and please understand that at this time my desire to be reunited with Sebastian is very strong and this may be the most important thing I need at the moment.

The past few weeks have been filled with lots of preparation. I've been researching things I need to do and have in order to move/live in Germany...I made a quick trip out to Phoenix to gather belongings and see friends.... Doctors appointments... organizing things... and lots of Skyping with Sebastian....
