Finally a Flat Foto!

Hard to believe but we're finally pretty much done with the flat!!!!!

It feels so SO good to say this. Funny to think that when I first came here we said 'Oh, yeah, 2-3 weeks.... 2-3 weeks or so, and we'll be done'. And now - 3 MONTHS later - we're actually done. I'm only including pics of the main room because the office/Lemon's room will be re-arranged and decorated in the next weeks to accommodate baby more. Right now it's just a computer desk and dresser... but soon it will be prepared for baby. So pics of the office later, for now....



Left pic: before, bare walls... bare floor...yeah. That's it!

Right pic: after, oven, fridge, counter with sink... paint for a splash of color.. much better!

Next.... Lemons room...

Speaking of preparing for baby!! We met with the Midwife today and got a list of what is needed for a home birth - it will be an adventure in the next weeks to purchase some extra things and get everything in order around here so that whenever Lemon decides to come we can easily shift into a comfortable yet prepared atmosphere. Overall health is good and baby is doing really well. .
Moving more and more, growing more and more... got an ultrasound too, everything is normal and healthy

Otherwise we've had fun with little projects - flat might be done but we're still kind of decorating and arranging. We also got a nice visit from an Aunt and Uncle of Sebastian...nice to meet some of his family. Of course we had to go see Jona again, our new nephew. We went to Duren last Monday kind of spontaneously and enjoyed a camp-style type bbq with Philipp, Petra and Jona.

Oh and my German class is quite interesting. In a good way. There's 9 women, all from different countries! Which means.... the teacher speaks German ALL THE TIME. I kind of thought it would be like this. Funny to not understand something in class...figure out how to ask for clarification in German... and hope you understand the answer. Lots of pantomiming and what not. But it's given me the basics and stronger foundation of the language to make me more confident to try and speak a little bit more. And it's only been two weeks! I hope by the end I'm even more comfortable. And it's basic enough that it's not stressful at all. Don't need any stress these days!!

Think that's enough for now...
