The weather has been gorgeous since we returned to Germany. After a long, cold and dark winter, the sun has finally shown its face again. Germany moved its clocks forward for Summer Time last weekend. The days are beginning to be longer again. The birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the weather is warm, it has been in the 60s and low 70s this week. If this is what spring is like we wish it could be spring all year!
I had a doctor's appointment last night and everything looks great. My baby measures two weeks ahead of schedule. I am 27 weeks and the doctor said my baby is the size of a 29 week old which means he is about 1.13 kg (2.5 lbs) and around 38.1 cm (15 inches) long. She said the baby is very healthy and looks great. She also said that my weight gain is also really good. I had a few concerns but she said she sees pregnant women every day and my weight gain is perfectly normal. We even got to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. The test takes about 15 minutes. They attached a heart monitor to my stomach which charted the baby's heart beats. It was really neat! My doctor will do this test every visit from now until delivery. I am also going to have appointments every two weeks instead of once a month. The count down has begun!
Here is a picture from the 4D ultrasound last night. His hands and feet were covering his face so it was hard to get a good picture of him.
We also received our stroller and car seat in the mail yesterday. We ordered them from Target.com last week and were pleasantly surprised to receive them already. They also sent us our pack-n-play. I do not think we have ever received items online this fast before. Collin put together the stroller last night and we love it! We were a little concerned because we did not see it in person and they could not ship the one we originally wanted. Once Collin put it together we discovered it is perfect! Thank you again to all who gave us Target gift cards. We really appreciate it. Now all we are lacking is a crib, rocking chair, some furniture for the baby's room, and a few small baby items. Hopefully within the next month we will have the baby's room ready for him. We are so excited!

Well it sounds like you guys have it all going in the right direction then. We were so happy to see you guys for the brief time we were with you, and are definitely looking forward to catching up with you again on any return trips you may make. You are in the home stretch of this pregnancy now and I can bet as excited as can be about finally meeting your son. We will keep you in our prayers always. Take care.
Thanks, Wray! It was great to see you and your family too! We are definitely excited to meet our son. He's very active right now, so I bet he'll be running around in no time. =)
