lil nugget.

I wish there was something really interesting to tell you all, but honestly we spend a lot of time eating, sleeping, hanging out on the play gym or hugging it out. Joe's been busy at work with the quarter, so he's only been home one day these past two weeks. Yesterday, we took Liam out to the Mutterberatung (it's a free service in a community-type center and there is a midwife there who answers any questions and weighs and measures the babies). He's up to 3.4kg (about 7.5lbs) now, so he's still a seriously lil nugget. He slept the entire time in his carrier, so soundly, that I began to spaz out (thanks again Karla for all the factoids about kids suffocating to death in those things) and made Joe incessantly check to see he was breathing. We also hit up a cafe near our house and had cappuccinos and our new favorite pastries (Mandelstange -- direct translation: almond sticks; indirect translation: heavenly, flaky goodness). We'd transferred him to his stroller for that part of the day and even though he was wide awake the whole time we were there, he was just hanging out, sucking on his pacifier and getting waved at by the cute little boy sitting next to us. We're looking forward to Nonna arriving tomorrow and lots more 'excitement' like yesterday. Timing is pretty great too as the weather has finally turned around and I'm starting to feel well enough to get out more...cafes, beer gardens, lakefront - here we come!
