2 months already…

…(since last Friday) and it feels as though he was born just yesterday ;) (I know I´m repeating myself here, but how fast is time flying by?)

My chunky little dude *SIGH*

After 3 weeks of (daycare) holidays, the pumpkin went back to her little friends yesterday & had a wonderful time. She´s recounting their names every night, before I tuck her in…one has to make sure that all their friends are going to bed too, right ;)

We really indulged in enjoying “summer” (what´s up with autumn arriving WAY to early this year?) and familytime (thanks to grandma, who helped us tremendously, when Papi was at work!!!) and somehow it now feels spookily quiet over here, with just the muffin and I ;)

Please bear with me, as we´re still in full force enjoying our little family and me trying to catch up with my endless to-do-list.
Otherwise this might be a common sight over here:

And we all want to prevent that from happening, right ;)

Have a very happy week everyone.
We´re already missing the rebellious donkey, who was here (right across the street on the soccerfield) with his circus for a couple of days this past weekend…Pumpkin was so very excited and couldn´t stop laughing when we heard him braying throughout the days and nights ;)
She also loved to visit & pet all the animals (goats, horses, ducks, dogs, camels…) daily…it´s a beautiful experience to have a circus right there when we step out the door and we can´t wait for the next one to stop by.

1 Month…

…already (2 days ago)…crazy how time flies!

In the last few weeks we:
* got to know each other
* slept more or less during the nights and days ;)
* kissed
* cuddled
* nursed
* swaddled
* carried (a hallelujah for babycarriers!!!)
* sang tirelessly (this version is the most soothing here in Pumpkincastle!!!) and
* “bounced” (what would I do without our big green bouncing ball and the Lullababy (can´t find an english version, but you get the idea!?)…seriously…MUST HAVES!!!)

I adore his side profile and that little button nose…I could nibble on it all day long :)

And even though it feels like I get NOTHING done at all and my nerves are being quite stretched some days…we couldn´t be happier with our two :) (TWO!!! I´d have never guessed I would have two…or children at all…scared of the birthing process and stuff…even though I had always wanted lots of them…not going to tell how many though…unless I already did at some point…uhm…anyways…TWO…mine…both of them :) )

And another cheeky smile at last…sigh!!!

I guess after a month I can safely say, that the four of us are getting along pretty well and that we´ll definitely keep the wee dude ;)
Sibbling pictures to follow…at some point in the near future ;)

Meet Mr. Muffin…

:)

It wasn´t the 13th exactly, but just like his sister, the little muffinman wanted to make his entrance on Whitsunday…pretty nice & good stuff for stories when they´re older, huh ;)

And even though labouring him was much, much shorter (I spent over 16h with Pumpkin and less than 3h with Muffin in the delivery room) it turned out to be a liiiittle bit more dramatic in the end (he´d had the umbilical cord around his neck and got stuck on the way out…I´ll spare you from the rest ;) )…luckily he recovered very quickly on my chest a little later (Papa was only allowed to cut through a bit of the cord, after the muffinbaby was extensively examined and ventilated…), so they didn´t have to bring him to the NICU…
I think he looks just like his sister, no!? Just with his mama´s haircolor :) I had dreamed about him being a boy with dark hair a few days after I found out I was pregnant again last year…life´s funny that way :)

Wwe are SO happy and proud and tired right now!!!

1 more week…

…until duedate…and yes, it´s actually rather uncomfortable to be resting like this for much longer ;)

If it works just the way it did with Pumpkin, then this weekend would be the time…exactly like 2 years ago we have a holidayweekend (Whitsun) ahead here in Germany, big brother is visiting and a (small this time around) excursion sans mama is planned…can´t wait to see how it´s going to turn out this time ;)
According to my ob-gyn little Muffin is not exactly in a hurry to enjoy (moving)freedom yet (even though it certainly felt that way a few times those past few days…OUCH!), but I would be very happy about the 13. (my favourite number…and there´s those two numbers in the birthday of Miss Pumpkin – 31. – as well…not that I´d want to pressure anyone, right *coughMUFFINcough* ;)

I hope you have a beautiful time enjoying your weekend and I´d really love if you´d cross your fingers for us sometimes :)

2…

…and even 3 days later I cannot fathom…
Time has been slipping by since our little rascal arrived…has it really already been 2 years since I held, felt and smelled her for the very first time?
This child makes us so unbelievably happy, that I just don´t know how we could live and love without her for so long :)

And even though that day really didn´t go as “perfectly” planed at all (actually it was supposed to be red foodcoloring for the cake – Recipe from here…so SO delicious! – and even the balloons, that I had helium filled at the store & put on her chair the night before, totally left us hanging for her birthdaybreakfast – where I took those pictures – …hmpfff!), the Pumpkin couldn´t have been happier…we had to sing the birthdaysong over and over when we woke her up, while she was clapping her hands on her little thighs and laughed histerically…I even quickly forgot my almost fallen tears (definitely the hormones HA) over those stupid deflated balloons ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetest baybgirl…we LOVE you to pieces <3

We hope your week was as beautiful as ours (it was children´s day & fathersday here in Germany, the 2 days after her birthday, so we had lots to celebrate ;) ) and hopefully your weekend will be even more.
