Round five: Ice, Ice Baby

It seems that lately I can’t get enough cold. Cold water (I’m usually a warm water girl), cool breezes, ice cream, iced tea, brisk showers, popsicles. I’m eating popsicles like they’re going out of style. And I find myself constantly taking off clothes to cool down and then putting them back on a few minutes...

Gene and Annie - Erin, you look so beautiful!! Not too much longer!! I definitely had hot flashes but I never craved ice!! The great thing about ice is that you have all you want of it!!

The Life of Me - Erin you look fabulous!! I can't wait for the baby to come!! Arabelle thinks it's a girl and is very perplexed by how you made your way to the computer screen. Love you friend!!

Robyn - Mmm…I love them all, but this round of photos might just be my favorite. Your love for the Eaglet shines through so radiantly in your smile. Glad to know you're so well supported and surrounded by love — and that you're now e-biking it. ;)

Saturday snapshot: Happy Easter

The man and I treated this weekend as our ‘baby moon’ even though we stayed in town and did nothing outrageously special. He was lucky to have a four day weekend (here in der Schweiz most employees receive not only Good Friday off from work but also Easter Monday) and we took full advantage. Spent...

Round four: Woah baby

We’re getting close; very, very close. I cannot believe that this weekend our sweet little baby will be considered full term. Done. Finished. Baked. Ready to make his / her debut into this big, beautiful world. However, if I’m totally honest here, I admit that I’d be mighty happy if s/he decided to wait till...

karin - I think it's a girl. Not sure if this is the right venue for my guess. But I think an Eagleman chickie is on the way.

Kiana - Just got caught up on my blog reading…you look AMAZING! Love the pics…Its natural for a momma to worry about the health of her babies!!! It will say that in your "What to Expect" book! I'm sure he/she will be PERFECT! You look good pregnant, though I knew you would!! Wish I could gush with you about how in love with that belly you are…I know you're loving it!! Love you and miss you

Round three: Flip that baby

Lots going on in the last week with this wee one. About a month ago we found out that the baby was breech and my midwife, I suppose for safety reasons and preparation, pfffft, proceeded to discuss the possibility of a cesarean section. Ugh, that was a major bummer of an appointment…though who am I...

April 14, 2011 - 8:54 PM

Erin - Thanks so much, ladies! Actually, that 'Keeping it Wheel' t-shirt is from the Target clearance rack. Seeing as how I ride my bike everyday I thought it'd be perfect. We are sooo, so happy the babe is now upside down, YAY! for positive thoughts and lots of coaxing. ;)

Saturday snapshot: Wysteria bound

The Wisteria have just popped out meaning it’s officially spring here in Basel. I really love how the Swiss integrate nature into their cities. This time of year it seems like every street is lined with flowering trees, shrubs and flowerbeds—and let’s not forget the Wisteria. Ahhh, the Wisteria. We’re lucky to have lots of...
