It's a girl!

I had my big ultrasound appointment today. The baby is right where it's supposed to be and her heartbeat is strong...just like her little fists and feet that are constantly kicking me!

Finally!!! Here are the latest updates on happenings in the life of the Krause-Jankowskis! First a few more pics and shots of my extraordinaryly cute nephews:


While in FL I taught Paul (22 months) how to eat Oreos correctly!!! He was doing fabulous.....until he cleaned his dirty little fingers on my pjs.....














Now Hannes (about 4 months old at that time). The only baby I know who can rock itself in a carseat without being in a car or getting carsick!




Next is Eric who completed his first level in German. Here's his certificate:


I am so proud of you, Schatzi!

When I was in FL visiting my Germans Nelson stayed at "Love Unleashed", a doggy hotel. Unfortunately he got a little stomach bug and had some digestive problems. Amanda, his kennel mom, took care of it and Nelson's feeling better than ever. When I picked him up his bed though was completely ruined- Amanda tried everything but it's just old and smelly. Time for a new one!!! After a couple of days of hesitation Nelson actually now prefers the new bed over his spot on the sofa!!!






And last but not least my 24 week belly shot. I've noticed that my t-shirts are getting "a little" snug and short....actually I wouldn't leave the house in them anymore...





I can feel and sometimes see the baby kicking!!! At first it was veeeery weird but now it feels great - I only wish Eric would be here to enjoy it with me.
