First of all Dr's appt went well, got a physical, met with a nutritionist etc. Only gained one pound...guess that's fine for now. Feel like I've gained more, but I guess muscles are loosening and things are shifting around...so that's probably what I feel more than 'weight gain' per se.
*OK, so I've been given two different due dates. Long story short (ok, not long, just a mix of TMI, boring stuff and the like): I have to get another, more thorough ultrasound. I was given November 16th and November 25th. Hopefully someday I'll just have one due date. Basically I'm probably not 17 weeks, but seeing as how I don't know what I am I just picked one and am going with it until I'm informed otherwise. The confusing part is that I guess I would typically get another ultrasound around 20-24 weeks (again, told two different dates) but how do they know I'm 20 -24 weeks if they don't know how far along I am or a due date or whatever. Anyway! Basically I would get another ultrasound whenever I schedule it...but it might be too close to my USA departure so I might just wait until I go to Germany. We'll see.... which brings me to....
Flights! I've purchased my flights. I'll be departing the states on.....fathers day. In my defense, I had no idea it was fathers day on the 20th, I just searched 7 different days, three cities (Indy, Detroit, Chi-town) and that was the cheapest I could find. Trust me, I've second guessed myself A LOT since my purchase, but I would like to be able to move forward emotionally to some kind of acceptance or even excitement. This is a difficult place to get to in this moment because while I will be reunited with Sebastian, I will be leaving a lot of amazingly supportive family and friends. And yes, I'll miss the cousins in Michigan. But I would LOVE to skype with you all sometime during that weekend - I think it would be a great introduction for Sebastian to the family.
Other than that I've been exceptionally emotional...still no weird food cravings. Not really. I just let myself have whatever I'm in the mood for...weirdest so far: dinner of hash browns and veggie egg rolls, and lunch of pizza and potato salad. Not too weird, right?
Love,
Stace 'n Lemon
Love the update ~ and love you, Sebastian and "the Admiral"! We are enjoying our time with Stacy as she counts down to when she will depart for Germany to be with Sebastian! She is beautiful, still glowing but also entering that "tired" stage of the pregnancy ~ she goes to bed early many nights and naps most days! Definately not the normal Stacy pace!

Hey Stace! I'm sorry that its becoming such a pain just to figure out when Admiral is due. Thats one of those things about kids, before they are even born, they are suprising you :) So thought I would share a story with you. The kids have been asking us to taken them to Disney Land for the birthdays... ya... Disney Land. We finally sat them down and explained to them that Disney Land costs hundreds of dollars, the hotel would cost hundreds of dollars, the trip down in the van would cost us hundreds of dollars, you get the picture. Soooo... last night I'm explaining to Lillie that you are moving to Germany and showed her on a map that it is a way far way away and she goes, "Well, mom, you and Daddy are just going to have to buy a boat because the van won't driveacross all that ocean and plane rides cost hundreds of dollars." :)
