You are laying here beside me on the rug in your room. You and I are having a few minutes of quiet time together. You are alert and looking towards your abacus even though it's too far away for you to focus on. You have the hiccups. You have those a lot these days and you had them a lot when I was pregnant with you too. And you are waving your little quivering fists around and making little baby sounds every now and then. It's precious and I love this time with you, especially these quiet moments where I get to soak you all in. I could stare at you all day.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU5zQXlrNm8q6mgiWRhFoy_dx-vzVvPlQSGIC3epRwxadbvn8uYZhN2c52qgMMo8lvIy3TNGDPiQwFrA1RAcz_KfDtLB7DBLWN4c-5C8aROb0aYpPx2a5WVVQF1Ql7tSU4wcr-FiFhoc/s1600/DSC_5400.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOU5zQXlrNm8q6mgiWRhFoy_dx-vzVvPlQSGIC3epRwxadbvn8uYZhN2c52qgMMo8lvIy3TNGDPiQwFrA1RAcz_KfDtLB7DBLWN4c-5C8aROb0aYpPx2a5WVVQF1Ql7tSU4wcr-FiFhoc/s640/DSC_5400.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">You've been having a growth spurt these past few days and everyone can really tell. Me, Daddy and Grammy have all commented on how much bigger you look in just the past 48 hours even. I can tell too because you've been wanting to nurse almost constantly, sometimes every hour! It's tiring but it's my job to feed you 24/7 and it's your job to grow so that's what we are doing together this week. You are totally worth it. You are my most important job these days.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6vnX5lYlA7XrwcMLn3xse5bFa3gx6GYi8FJqawWEqaK6j4zAwy6bl-4aiPBqpmAja-_2b6lDAK2anZryJ7dFlCbRigfB1UEk2qcLLJaJiKMLsEnJ3ZozSMau9obBcaqE2_B4z_mJcmcY/s1600/DSC_5349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6vnX5lYlA7XrwcMLn3xse5bFa3gx6GYi8FJqawWEqaK6j4zAwy6bl-4aiPBqpmAja-_2b6lDAK2anZryJ7dFlCbRigfB1UEk2qcLLJaJiKMLsEnJ3ZozSMau9obBcaqE2_B4z_mJcmcY/s640/DSC_5349.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Our growth spurt was actually confirmed at the doctor's office today when they weighed you and you weighed a whopping 9lbs 3 oz!

She loves cheering you on. You impressed us with pushing your head and upper body up at only 10 days old. You are getting so much stronger. When we burp you, propped up on our shoulder, you push yourself up to look around. Even your legs are getting stronger and push up on us when we hold you. You still do that sweet newborn thing though and curl your legs up when we pick you up. I love it every time you do that, it makes you seem extra cuddly, which you are!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRqYbVRwSMLo1-QGeNzrtrDJIsUaTRsHH3IxVCzDPPMKjSHv8aAq9k7p2M4M9en6JHEmF5Q29hhSwi2Wcv5xAGS-ztTf9Cq1q3EYWF0a35sFs6metCIxUhGObFpblTJl5QxZeCA83eL8/s1600/DSC_5502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaRqYbVRwSMLo1-QGeNzrtrDJIsUaTRsHH3IxVCzDPPMKjSHv8aAq9k7p2M4M9en6JHEmF5Q29hhSwi2Wcv5xAGS-ztTf9Cq1q3EYWF0a35sFs6metCIxUhGObFpblTJl5QxZeCA83eL8/s640/DSC_5502.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">I think you are most happy with a milk beard. Not a milk mustache, but a full on milk dribbling down your chin, all over your cheeks, milk beard. And you look up at me in your milk coma and you just look so content. I'm addicted to you! I'm addicted to your little toes and your little nose. Your pretty baby blue eyes and your peely little soft baby knees. I love the way you hold my hand and stare out the window when we all ride together and I ride in the backseat between you and your sister. I'm addicted to your soft fuzzy head of hair and your little dimple on your cheek. It's like a sweet little secret that you've shared with me. Those tiny little lips that turn up in the corners, and that you poke out into a little pout in your sleep. I'm addicted to your sweet baby smell. I'm addicted to all of you. Addicted I tell you!</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxi1sOjiyy8cKK7ydxR0foy-JHUxa2NUaTTMTPwSuM2wVxEDnpZdGTasvpyYP2YCZU1mLgM0_-te3PQB6LASj4Qke-VzKE7_T6foOJF54xrNwlOopERJWJRmfzSoXqKD6Wqi-jivhetyQ/s1600/DSC_5487.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxi1sOjiyy8cKK7ydxR0foy-JHUxa2NUaTTMTPwSuM2wVxEDnpZdGTasvpyYP2YCZU1mLgM0_-te3PQB6LASj4Qke-VzKE7_T6foOJF54xrNwlOopERJWJRmfzSoXqKD6Wqi-jivhetyQ/s640/DSC_5487.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">We discovered that you don't really seem to like to be swaddled anymore. A few days ago we noticed that when we would start to swaddle you (at bedtime), you would cry and fight us. We've stopped swaddling you at bedtime and you seem happier. We only use the sleep sack now. You've been waking us up every 2-3 hours at night. You're on a pretty good schedule.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">Most of the time you are calm but you can go from 0-100 in 2 seconds and you can be very loud too!

Yes, sweet Judah, you are a smart one. I can't wait to see your personality emerge and watch you learn and grow.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I can't wait to see your sister teach you all the things that she knows. She's a great teacher and she loves sharing her knowledge. You are going to be her little student and I bet you'll look up to her and want to follow in her footsteps and do what she does. Seeing the two of you together is so sweet, it makes my heart burst with pride and happiness. I find myself smiling, and getting choked up just looking at the two of you together. I'm so in love with both of you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsvZWxlVAYNOTX6Ely1lCiz4FCUrF4c9eraw3qLlAirr3Dll6Iu8RaBKvglWpxpYWGj85zraN2b9LSFq2SuOpGEYWvMYs_A4NtyOlfuQ5ABJJOQ6kvzqc3SAH-hBCMwxRe3PQVdOxowg/s1600/DSC_5350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSsvZWxlVAYNOTX6Ely1lCiz4FCUrF4c9eraw3qLlAirr3Dll6Iu8RaBKvglWpxpYWGj85zraN2b9LSFq2SuOpGEYWvMYs_A4NtyOlfuQ5ABJJOQ6kvzqc3SAH-hBCMwxRe3PQVdOxowg/s640/DSC_5350.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrPcjglzqJ_8vV0FYNis8QK_O8AnWqfe5oJWAoE64iTXYyt7kYciWL2yNAkR1Q1bXxZb8CpvGVucsVRqksMen7DwewK7YHB0ZbNUDrtG9Y4fx-KsjD9MIXZ0jL62-d8drqNP01H1vGpE/s1600/DSC_5347.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyrPcjglzqJ_8vV0FYNis8QK_O8AnWqfe5oJWAoE64iTXYyt7kYciWL2yNAkR1Q1bXxZb8CpvGVucsVRqksMen7DwewK7YHB0ZbNUDrtG9Y4fx-KsjD9MIXZ0jL62-d8drqNP01H1vGpE/s640/DSC_5347.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">This week you've been to Ariana's kindergarten, the commissary, the BX, the doctor, the Gartenshau, and your first German festival (<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">Hitscherhof Farm</span> </span>festival aka the pumpkin festival).

The usual way I do this is to take my 2 cup glass measuring cup and put some water in it, nuk it for a little while, and let the steam loosen the gunk. Then I wipe it clean, done. I had heard that adding vinegar to the water would help get rid of any odors so I thought, why not, I'll give it a try. Bad idea.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like usual, I put some water in my measuring cup, then I added in a little vinegar and started microwaving it. (I think I set it to 2 minutes maybe). After the timer went off I opened the door and took the water out. Just as I got out it popped (like exploded is more like it) and splashed the scalding water/vinegar all over my arm (and even on my face). It was lucky that Ariana wasn't right there because I screamed and threw the measuring cup down.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It started burning so I ran it under some water. I started turning a bright red and you could see where the splash landed. It wasn't pretty. I had planned to go out with some girlfriends that night for a dinner and a movie for a rare girls night out. But since I burned my arm less than 2 hours before I was suppose to meet them, I had to cancel and stay in. I put aloe gel on it and wrapped it up. Took some pain relievers and had a glass of wine and the pain subsided.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have never heard of vinegar and water causing a weird reaction like this when microwaved. In fact I had read <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lifehacker.com/323232/steam+clean-the-microwave-with-vinegar">here</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vinegartips.com/scripts/pageViewSec.asp?id=7">here</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://frugalliving.about.com/od/householdsavings/qt/Clean_Microwave.htm">here</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.homeeverafter.com/how-to-clean-microwave-with-vinegar/">here</a>, and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sheknows.com/home-and-gardening/articles/808075/cleaning-with-vinegar">here</a> (to name a few) that it was a good cleaning method. None of them had a caution warning. I don't know if this has happened to anybody else or not, but it happened to me so I'm sharing this story.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Please be careful. Please share this information with others.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The photo above was taken 4 hours after it happened. <b> </b>Luckily for me my arm has healed pretty well.

I took on again off again lessons on Casper, Mocha, and others, and went riding with a family friend on a sweet dapple girl named Leia. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have I ever owned a horse? No. Do I still dream of owning a horse? Yes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, I still would love to own a horse. Kind of a crazy dream for a girl married to the military moving every few years and living in different countries. I can't imagine the cost to ship a horse back to the states. Maybe one day though. The truth is, I don't know how to take care of a horse. I know general care but not the real ins and outs of life with a horse. And I don't have anywhere to keep it. Plus, horses are expensive. I get all of that. That is why I don't have one. I can still dream though.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We saw some pretty tan colored horses on our walk in Bavaria.

We all know Disneyland Paris isn't going to compare to Disney World in Orlando, Florida (what I grew up with) but it captures just as much magic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had been debating on whether or not we wanted to spend the time/money to go to Disney Paris since we had heard it "wasn't worth it. But went anyways and we all came away refreshed, more full of wonder, happier and more bonded together as a family. Maybe it had something to do with being in a fantasy land full of smiling cheerful characters for a few days and forgetting about the troubles of "real life" that helped, but we really enjoyed it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And it came at the perfect time. Not only a rough time personal time for us, but Ariana's 4th birthday! It was important and special for us to just spend an entire vacation just focused on Ariana and having kid friendly fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYaN0dBor__0iMV1x08gs8nx0icX_J5_3F5MbNcZiwNf19yGdVAWxwJ_2o1Ou7CmfNAKF00q_KQZnknvMgWQYKEPh1SQbbjSMAOHjjhCsBkyAdXjQ4f3BlwoVdB18i3_CRZkJUKodE6Oo/s1600/bigsis+1432.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYaN0dBor__0iMV1x08gs8nx0icX_J5_3F5MbNcZiwNf19yGdVAWxwJ_2o1Ou7CmfNAKF00q_KQZnknvMgWQYKEPh1SQbbjSMAOHjjhCsBkyAdXjQ4f3BlwoVdB18i3_CRZkJUKodE6Oo/s640/bigsis+1432.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3D7PTvxx8i5AHtC9BHRCNmSuo74LebZJQODpujIQgOiTFJlfL_5obNxTWrjvz5iw3vp3nehFtBmDB5VsTbP_j9Q-wyAiQ7ltJ3OlIR52PW0IDQYLpQNhwcvwbXyCuHNmXrgxlmXIJbeI/s1600/disneylandparis+1433.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3D7PTvxx8i5AHtC9BHRCNmSuo74LebZJQODpujIQgOiTFJlfL_5obNxTWrjvz5iw3vp3nehFtBmDB5VsTbP_j9Q-wyAiQ7ltJ3OlIR52PW0IDQYLpQNhwcvwbXyCuHNmXrgxlmXIJbeI/s640/disneylandparis+1433.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We drove the 4.5 hours from our home in Germany to the Disneyland Paris Resorts in France. We stayed in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://hotels.disneylandparis.co.uk/hotels/sequoia-lodge/index.xhtml">Disneyland Paris Sequoia Lodge</a>. We had a spacious room with 2 large beds decorated in a woodland Bambi theme. They had 2 restaurants in the hotel, but with both of them it was recommended that you make a time slot reservation to save yourself from waiting. There were several characters that made apparences throughout the day to the hotel. We saw Goofy, Pluto and Mickey on the days we were there. There was usually only a handful of kids waiting to see the characters and it was a lot less hectic than seeing them in the park itself. You could also pose for pictures but take your own because the professional photos cost 15 Euro each!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The first day we went and enjoyed spending the day playing in Disneyland Park that includes, Main Street USA, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Discoveryland, and Adventureland. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7tiwmIgF1zKd3revGnLk69LDkuh8j_D1Knq27_0fMdL3yH2DUHwHxrsO97TYHF0WeUguHChxgowYCWR_-ZDmwXAdfj3f57-Wj64IYVP_vsImeC6d1-THz3I4omnwCIwJIBn4gJVPFV3Y/s1600/disneyparis+1268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7tiwmIgF1zKd3revGnLk69LDkuh8j_D1Knq27_0fMdL3yH2DUHwHxrsO97TYHF0WeUguHChxgowYCWR_-ZDmwXAdfj3f57-Wj64IYVP_vsImeC6d1-THz3I4omnwCIwJIBn4gJVPFV3Y/s640/disneyparis+1268.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWVs163UzAAt7bhmosoKq6xAJHaXdYPa5aLaZWao5gLfXs7q9Kpa7iAZEcyu_rmn5fty-W832z5zj0e84uyHVzimHatmyz0AgbU0IzLDF23DV6FrR2t5-CJYqThqqkrHTsUM7RyhOZjEc/s1600/disneyparis+1270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWVs163UzAAt7bhmosoKq6xAJHaXdYPa5aLaZWao5gLfXs7q9Kpa7iAZEcyu_rmn5fty-W832z5zj0e84uyHVzimHatmyz0AgbU0IzLDF23DV6FrR2t5-CJYqThqqkrHTsUM7RyhOZjEc/s640/disneyparis+1270.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjitT01A9MNdO07K3klXdDHlPmPb738tZz9mgSTHtWpNjQXAH3jRkswKUJb_5TiYWoofCNwHLtAuorOWZIj4C60_D3LMhZJZrz7szr1xDKVGJk3C0KYIhDkmT8dH3-FhJLDbDjzZB2UY00/s1600/disneyparis+1269.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjitT01A9MNdO07K3klXdDHlPmPb738tZz9mgSTHtWpNjQXAH3jRkswKUJb_5TiYWoofCNwHLtAuorOWZIj4C60_D3LMhZJZrz7szr1xDKVGJk3C0KYIhDkmT8dH3-FhJLDbDjzZB2UY00/s640/disneyparis+1269.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMJ4oDEpEhsX0pT_GbWeLZD8VW1M-1Ip78Fwwa_NQIjhaXlIYj_q7z0X4P8LICTA8fKTUqPbmgkk_lwC86TPHMoq_3VSzx8R8n5_1Nte7X6VJFuKbeCxRnLJLW_rLWXyfhVjqpUzirr_Q/s1600/disneyp+244.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMJ4oDEpEhsX0pT_GbWeLZD8VW1M-1Ip78Fwwa_NQIjhaXlIYj_q7z0X4P8LICTA8fKTUqPbmgkk_lwC86TPHMoq_3VSzx8R8n5_1Nte7X6VJFuKbeCxRnLJLW_rLWXyfhVjqpUzirr_Q/s640/disneyp+244.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaPcJOf9RAqyYaf-HctXnhglWAPcS-rmhzemxff84C7zLU5-ckaJtNqHNKoHXvyQ8o0ycfx9DETNg8PxnLRhULFzElvOM5-hb5LB1-dz0jrnEw6PZ_3Zabn5Z__KTgAg2K4VBhwcT-1z4/s1600/disneyparis+1275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaPcJOf9RAqyYaf-HctXnhglWAPcS-rmhzemxff84C7zLU5-ckaJtNqHNKoHXvyQ8o0ycfx9DETNg8PxnLRhULFzElvOM5-hb5LB1-dz0jrnEw6PZ_3Zabn5Z__KTgAg2K4VBhwcT-1z4/s640/disneyparis+1275.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We met Minnie Mouse as soon as we walked in the gates and she was all dressed in a fancy Halloween costume.

Complete lipoprotein profile consists of cholesterol numbers including total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride (TG) levels. Cholesterol numbers are beneficial because they encode the level of different types of cholesterol in a quantifiable fashion. If it is not possible for you to find out the complete lipoprotein profile, understanding the numbers concerning total cholesterol level and HDL cholesterol level can offer you the essential idea about the status of the cholesterol content in your body. If your total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol numbers are more than 200mg/dL and less than 40mg/dL respectively, you should consult your doctor for a lipoprotein profile to be done.<br /><br />Cholesterol numbers imply whether the individual is at risk for developing heart disease in recent days or not. For example, total cholesterol level less than 200mg/dL is desirable while 240mg/dL or higher is absolutely non-desirable and may pose a serious threat on health condition. On the other hand, the borderline condition is identified with the numbers lying between 200-239mg/dL.<br /><br />For low density lipoprotein -or known as bad cholesterol-, the numbers are assigned into 5 categories - optimal, near optimal or above optimal, borderline high, high and very high. The categories are identified with Factors Influencing Cholesterol Numbers.<br /><br />There are quite a few factors that can affect the cholesterol level in the body, hence the numbers. These are diet, age, gender, heredity, weight and physical activity. For women, the LDL level continues to rise in the post menopause phase. High blood cholesterol can be a familial characteristic. In such a case, the genetic structuring may lead to increasing amount of cholesterol production than normal. An healthy fat-free and cholesterol-free diet and regular exercise can benefit for not developing such complications.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06348045027343889535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188371279715037412.post-5317717786644880662013-05-31T22:06:00.002-07:002013-05-31T22:06:24.690-07:00HDL Cholesterol<b>HDL Cholesterol: The Worth of Keep It High </b><br /><br />Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver organ. Cholesterol is just cholesterol, a sterol lipid having the chemical formula C27H45OH. In the liver, cholesterol is combined with lipoproteins for use in diverse physiological body roles and construct tissues. There are various types of lipoprotein depending on size and lipid contain; chylomicron, chylomicron remain, VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein), IDL (Intermediate Density Lipoprotein), LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). In fact, HDL and LDL are not cholesterol at all. They are just lipoprotein vehicles for carrying and moving cholesterol through blood stream. Medical experts refer to the cholesterol transported by HDL as HDL cholesterol. So, when medical experts mention HDL cholesterol, they mean HDL-bounded cholesterol not HDL alone. HDL cholesterol is the so-called good cholesterol in the blood serum. It is responsible for deporting overabundance cholesterol away from the body tissues and arteries return to the liver. <br /><br />When it concerns controlling cholesterol, after resuming your cholesterol information there are three matters that you have to act; maintain our LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels stay low and maintain our HDL levels high. Scientists have recently discovered that low HDL cholesterol level in blood is an independent risk factor for these neurovascular and cardiovascular diseases. HDL levels below 40 mg/dL for men and below 50 mg/dL for women are considered low. This is apart from the total cholesterol and LDL levels. It intends that even out with a normal total cholesterol count and in a safe range of LDL level, an individual with low HDL cholesterol levels are still have an increased risk of heart disease. Indeed the emphasis should not only be on lowering the total cholesterol and LDL levels, but also raising the HDL cholesterol level. Research has shown that a drop of just 1 mg/dL in the HDL cholesterol level can lower a person's risk of getting a fatal heart attack by 3 percent.<br /><br />How does achieve normal cholesterol; raise the HDL cholesterol level while keeping the total cholesterol and LDL levels low? Almost people, nevertheless, can agitate the HDL cholesterol levels up by bringing in programmed lifestyle and diet changes. Quitting smoking, losing excess weight and consuming foods rich in dietary soluble fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants also raises the HDL cholesterol levels. Taking omega-3 which in turn keeps triglyceride levels down means raised HDL levels. Additional technique to increase HDL levels is to take a fish oil supplement.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06348045027343889535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188371279715037412.post-59552287698265445432013-05-31T19:00:00.000-07:002013-06-05T01:56:36.470-07:00Eucerin® VOLUME-FILLER<br />In verschiedene Blogs habe ich bereits davon gelesen (unter anderem bei den faboulösen <a href="http://fabforties.de/2013/05/eucerin-volume-filler/" target="_blank">FabForties</a>). <a href="http://www.eucerin.de/" target="_blank">Eucerin</a> hatte eigens zur Lancierung dieses neuen Superproduktes bereits im März einige Blogger nach Hamburg geladen. Die durften vorab schon berichten, für alle anderen galt bis heute eine Veröffentlichungssperre. Das verstehe, wer will. Aber heute ist es soweit und ich darf Euch endlich erzählen, dass Eucerin ein ganz neues und innovatives Produkt auf den Markt bringt: den <b><a href="http://www2.eucerin.com/de/anti-aging-startseite-volume-filler/eucerin-anti-aging-volumengebende-gesichtspflege-volume-filler/" target="_blank">Eucerin Volume Filler.</a></b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GA53nuyDEWG4jAQzWkat_onsah3nNeeN5IWoXPcGmoU0D2Bk_VJbrXtg2xiPhN9wJes_hz_f94TG2XP6dc9PK3UmVcek_Dz1R3Bnm6eKdjaondCmS-c3eG4rUlYDjsc4zbX-wRkoamg/s1600/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-4er.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GA53nuyDEWG4jAQzWkat_onsah3nNeeN5IWoXPcGmoU0D2Bk_VJbrXtg2xiPhN9wJes_hz_f94TG2XP6dc9PK3UmVcek_Dz1R3Bnm6eKdjaondCmS-c3eG4rUlYDjsc4zbX-wRkoamg/s320/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-4er.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Viele von uns kennen das - recht lange stimmen im Spiegelbild reales und gefühltes Alter überein. Etwa ab dem 40. Lebensjahr ändert sich das (ich weiß, wovon ich rede!). Das Gefühl bleibt „jung“, aber der Blick in den Spiegel sagt etwas ganz anderes. Wir sehen tiefere Falten, als uns lieb ist, die Spannkraft der Haut hat spürbar nachgelassen.<br /><b>Der Grund:</b><br />In der Epidermis werden weniger Lipide (Fette) gebildet, die Zellerneuerung gerät ins Stocken und die Zellen produzieren weniger feuchtigkeitsbindende Hyaluronsäure. Parallel dazu nimmt der Kollagen-Gehalt in der Dermis pro Jahr um ein Prozent ab.<br /><b>Das Resultat: </b><br />Unser Gesicht ist nicht mehr gleichmäßig ausgefüllt, die Wangen sinken nach unten, der Bereich unter den Augen wirkt eingefallen, Schatten und Linien entstehen und überlagern dieses knackig frsiche Aussehen der Haut, das wir mal hatten.<br />Zugegeben ist das jetzt ein bisschen dramatischer ausgedrückt, als es bei der ein oder anderen tatsächlich ist. Aber an schlechten Tagen, an denen wir uns so richtig beschissen fühlen, nehmen wir unser Spiegelbild durchaus so wahr. Aber müssen wir uns das vom natürlichen Prozess der Hautalterung gefallen lassen? Klares NEIN! Eucerin hilft uns dabei, denn der Eucerin® VOLUME-FILLER soll verlorenes Volumen tiefenwirksam wieder aufbauen.<br /><br />Das klingt zu schön, um wahr zu sein:<br /><i>"Die Anti-Age Innovation Eucerin® VOLUME-FILLER ist ein einzigartiges Pflegekonzept, das mit 3-fach Kombination aktiver Inhaltsstoffe verlorenes Hautvolumen wieder auffüllt, die Konturen hebt, die Haut glättet und die Ausstrahlung verjüngt. Für re-definiert wirkende Konturen – ohne dermatologischen Eingriff."</i><br /><i><br /></i>Das Auffüllprinzip soll wie folgt funktionieren:<br /><br /><i>1. Hocheffektives <b>Magnolol</b> – ein Extrakt aus der Rinde des Magnolienbaumes – aktiviert die Regeneration der volumengebenden Zellen und erhöht ihre Anzahl und Größe.</i><br /><i>2. <b>Oligo Peptide</b> natürlichen Ursprungs stimulieren das Kollagen-Netzwerk, das für eine straffe Hautstruktur sorgt. Sie kurbeln den Hautstoffwechsel an und verbessern die Kommunikation zwischen den Zellen.</i><br /><i>3. <b>Hautidentische Hyaluronsäure</b> versorgt die Haut intensiv mit Feuchtigkeit und reduziert die Faltentiefe.</i><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIr6-DaYrK0E2Z53WP9BkckamXQRWkOkGQwMi4apAm6MzUls6BKIMnPuLMlgvs8Xi-agNpdJ2wuEbyaHs84Jtp-Vii_sO9imVb7Zxopk2GHN6nq_3OsPJseXWO6ScEGFhxrfwzAN4ym0Y/s1600/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-Tagespflege.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIr6-DaYrK0E2Z53WP9BkckamXQRWkOkGQwMi4apAm6MzUls6BKIMnPuLMlgvs8Xi-agNpdJ2wuEbyaHs84Jtp-Vii_sO9imVb7Zxopk2GHN6nq_3OsPJseXWO6ScEGFhxrfwzAN4ym0Y/s320/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-Tagespflege.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Und wer jetzt glaubt, das seien nur vage Versprechen, sei eines Besseren belehrt. Mit einer speziell entwickelten Technik wurde die Wirksamkeit der neuen Pflege nachgewiesen:<br /><div class="p1">Für die Messung des Gesichtsvolumens entwickelten die Beiersdorf-Wissenschaftler ein bereits bestehendes System zur exaktenVolumenmessung der Haut weiter. Denn Falten lassen sich ganz einfach in 2D abbilden und messen. Aber das Volumen ist mit dem Gesichtsausdruck und dem Erscheinungsbild als ein Ganzes verbunden und deshalb nur in 3D darstellbar. Eine akkurate Messung war bis vor kurzem nicht möglich. Das neue, optimierte Verfahren ermöglicht es, die Bedingungen und Verhältnisse des Gesichtsvolumens zu visualisieren und hilfreiche Daten zu erzeugen, die für Produktentwicklungen eingesetzt werden. Am Ende steht eine präzise 3D-Darstellung des Gesichtsvolumens, die den Eucerin®-Forschern wichtige Erkenntnisse für ihre aktuelle Arbeit liefert. Im Fall von Eucerin® VOLUME- FILLER soll dieses neuartige Messverfahren gezeigt haben, dass die Formel der neuen Pflege durch Volumenaufbau tatsächlich für re-definierte Konturen sorgt.</div><br /><br />Klingt ziemlich gut, oder? Ich mochte die Produkte aus der Eucerin - Produktpalette bisher immer ganz gern. Der Hyaluronfiller war jahrelang treuer Begleiter und die Aquaporin Pflege benutze ich bis heute sehr gern zur Vorbereitung der Haut im Job.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-tFUtu_a7g0_sZVNkxh65J300P1B-DMoQyPA03E839ZU6pbnsx9W4naZc8Irj2gUvzMGaRB4GqTtp7vnOYyw4tzzn-lCXd96kstZ7fcqWSqUjNMpH0f_TYeCteVLa133vMGffWIH4Sc/s1600/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-Nachtpflege.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-tFUtu_a7g0_sZVNkxh65J300P1B-DMoQyPA03E839ZU6pbnsx9W4naZc8Irj2gUvzMGaRB4GqTtp7vnOYyw4tzzn-lCXd96kstZ7fcqWSqUjNMpH0f_TYeCteVLa133vMGffWIH4Sc/s320/Eucerin-VOLUME-FILLER-Nachtpflege.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Klar, auch ich weiß, dass wir langfristig nicht vor der natürlichen Verschrumpelung davonlaufen können. Aber solange man diesen Prozess aufhalten kann, ohne Unsummen für den chirurgischen Eingriff auf den Tisch legen zu müssen, passt mir eine funktionierende Anti Ageing Pflege da ganz gut in den Kram. Deshalb könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, dass Eucerin mit dieser neuen Produktlinie bei den Kundinnen punkten wird.<br />Apropos Produktlinie. Die neuen Produkte sind ab genau HEUTE in gut sortierten apotheken erhältlich. Es gibt Tagescremes für je normale bis Mischhaut und eine für trockene Haut, eine Nachtcreme und eine Augenpflege. Preislich liegen die Sachen zwischen ca. 24 € (Augen) bis 30 € (Cremes).<br /><br />Glaubt Ihr an solchen Hokuspokus? Habt Ihr schon Erfahrungen mit Versprechen dieser Art gemacht? Wenn ja, welche?<br /><br />Fotos: ©<a href="http://www.eucerin.de/" target="_blank">Eucerin</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mariasimoneidejhs.blogspot.com">mariasimoneidejhs</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06348045027343889535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188371279715037412.post-74940250806430425682013-05-31T08:29:00.000-07:002013-06-05T01:56:26.747-07:00ein kleiner Ausflug in die Geschichte: Prijedor 1992<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmY4ZMDWgQMlHHGiCY0jeBvZOnJXDQx1_6ArP-SWv15wmUoV_xqUvRSc3SJxBi4LqYMNGWI9_YWkb-POWNU0mPyFcMYrV_LaFWga_ZjXVjRJlz-8VSdQL0xxJhAz2wPQ5hmFnGnHoazJQP/s1600/dbt3a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmY4ZMDWgQMlHHGiCY0jeBvZOnJXDQx1_6ArP-SWv15wmUoV_xqUvRSc3SJxBi4LqYMNGWI9_YWkb-POWNU0mPyFcMYrV_LaFWga_ZjXVjRJlz-8VSdQL0xxJhAz2wPQ5hmFnGnHoazJQP/s1600/dbt3a1.jpg" height="320" width="273" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Am 31. Mai 1992 erliessen die bosnoserbischen Behörden der Stadt Prijedor, im Nordwesten Bosnien und Herzegowinas, folgendes Dekret: alle nicht-serbischen Bewohner Prijedors sind verpflichtet, ihre Häuser mit weissen Fahnen oder Tüchern zu markieren und müssen ein weisses Armband tragen, wenn sie ihre Häuser verlassen. Dies war der erste Tag einer Vernichtungs-kampagne, die zu Massenerschiessungen, Errichtung von Konzentrationslagern, Massenvergewaltigungen und zur definitiven Vetreibung von mehr als 94% der bosnischen Muslime und bosnischen Kroaten vom Gebiet der Gemeinde Prijedor führte. Seit dem NS-Dekret von 1939, das polnische Juden verpflichtete ein weisses Armband mit einem blauen Davidstern zu tragen, handelte es sich hier um das erste Mal, dass Mitglieder einer ethnischen oder religiösen Gruppe in dieser Weise für die Vernichtung gebrandmarkt wurden.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mitglieder einer Beobachtungsmission der Europäischen Kommission bezeugten, dass sie bei ihrem Besuch von gemischten serbisch-muslimischen Dörfern im August 1992 sahen, dass Häuser von Muslimen mit weissen Fahen gekennzeichnet waren, um sie von Häusern von Serben zu unterscheiden. Die Verfolgung von Nicht-Serben in Prijedor wurde vom Internationalen Strafgerichtshof für das frühere Jugoslawien als objektiver Tatbestand (actus reus) einer Völkermordhandlung eingestuft. Tausende von Menschen wurden ermordet, verhaftet, gefoltert, deportiert oder vergewaltigt. Das Gesicht der Gemeinde Prijedor wurde dadurch für immer verändert. Das heutige Bosnien und Herzegowina ist ein Staat, der auf dem 1995 unterzeichneten Friedensvertrag von Dayton aufbaut, welcher Prijedor in den Händen der bosnischen Serben liess.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Den Opfern des genozidalen Vorgehens in Prijedor wurde bis heute von den lokalen Behörden nicht die geringste Anerkennung für ihr Leiden zuteil. Der Bürgermeister Marko Pavic und die lokalen Behörden weigern sich, die in Prijedor begangenen Verbrechen öffentlich anzuerkennen, trotz zahlreicher Urteile von internationalen und nationalen Gerichten. Die Errichtung von Denkmälern zu Ehren der Opfer wurde verboten, und der Zugang zu den Orten ihres Leidens wird den Opfern verweigert, beispielsweise von Arcelor Mittal, einem Unternehmen, dem nun das Terrain des früheren Konzentrationslagers in Omarska gehört.</span><br /><a href="http://stopgenocidedenial.org/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mehr Infos</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="http://balkans.aljazeera.net/video/dan-bijelih-traka-u-prijedoru" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Video Heute in Prijedor</a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/SP-yXR_OLNg/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/SP-yXR_OLNg&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/SP-yXR_OLNg&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><br /><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22.3125px; margin-bottom: 1.75em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://mariasimoneidejhs.blogspot.com">mariasimoneidejhs</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06348045027343889535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188371279715037412.post-69457786819500649992013-05-31T02:04:00.000-07:002013-06-05T01:56:15.593-07:00Valentins Geburt- Teil 2<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wir sind über sämtliche rote Ampeln richtung Uniklinik gerast. In den kurzen Wehenpausen zischte ich keuchend meinen Mann an: "Wenn uns die Polizei anhält, dann bring ich Dich um!", und von der Rückbank jammerte der Sohn: "Papa niss so snell fahren!"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Es war 3:00 nachts. Irgendwann hatte ich mehr oder weniger eingesehen, dass ich wohl Geburtswehen hatte und bin die Treppe wieder hochgekrochen und ins Schlafzimmer. Dort sank ich wieder auf alle Viere und weckte meinen Mann: "Ich glaub´ich hab Wehen. Was sollen wir jetzt machen?" Ja, was macht man wohl in solchen Fällen...Mein Mann reagierte auf seine Weise. Das Beste, was ihm einfiel war: "Ich geh duschen!" und weg war er. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ich rief in der Zwischenzeit meine Mutter an und bat sie, direkt ins Krankenhaus zu kommen, um den Sohn dort abzuholen. Mein Mann erschien aus der Dusche und sagte, er ziehe eben den Sohn an, aber ich brüllte: "Der hat doch was aaaannnnn!!" Und so erschien der Sohn zur Geburt seines Bruders im Schlafanzug und mit Gummistiefeln.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Als wir in der Klinik ankamen, schleppte ich mich irgendwie die Treppen hoch und sank auf dem Flur vor dem Kreißsaal nochmal kurz am Boden zusammen. Filmreif!! Irgendwelche Menschen schossen an mir vorbei und einer von ihnen kam mir mit einem Rollstuhl entgegen und ich dachte bei mir:"Rennen die jetzt meinetwegen so?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Der Sohn wartete ganz brav auf dem Flur, während mein Mann und ich im Kreißsaal waren. Ich hab aber so lange gebrüllt "bitte geh zum Max, bitte geh zum Max, ich mach das hier schon" bis mein Mann zum Sohn rausging. Er pendelte dann immer hin und her, und kurz bevor Valentin dann wirklich kam, haben zwei Schwestern sich um unseren Großen gekümmert und ich durfte die Hand meines Mannes zerquetschen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eine dreiviertel Stunde nachdem wir im Krankenhaus angekommen waren, um 4:02 Uhr, war Valentin da. Und der Große konnte ihn direkt begrüßen, ebenso wie meine Eltern, die 20 Minuten nach der Geburt erschienen. Für mich eine perfekte Geburt. Kurz und heftig und voller Glücksgefühle. Ich hab dieses winzige Baby im Arm gehalten und immer wieder gesagt: "Oh Gott, ich bin so froh. Ist das schön, dass Du da bist..."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Und hier ist die Geschichte aus der Sicht meines Mannes:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Er schrieb ein paar Tage nach der Geburt an ganz viele Kollegen folgende Mail::</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Nach einer kurzen Warm Up Phase von 30 Minuten kam am 25.05. unser Sohn Valentin zu Welt, wo er von seinm großen Bruder und seinen Eltern freudig in Empfang genommen wurde. Wir sind dankbar und froh, jetzt zu viert zu sein. KPI: 50 cm, 3100 g (also durchaus ausbaufähig."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Er schickte mir immer die Antwortmails der Kollegen weiter, und irgendwann schrieb ich zurück:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Welche 30 Minuten meinst Du eigentlich?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Er: "Ich gebe immer mit der Netto-Zeit im Kreißsaal an :-)"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ich: "Unverschämtheit! Ich hatte immerhin zwei Stunden Wehen. Das verdient ja wohl Beachtung!" </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Aber dann fiel mir ein, dass mein Mann ja gar nicht mitbekommen hat, wie ich hier im Wohnzimmer gekämpft habe, und wir hatten auch noch gar keine Zeit, die Ereignisse in Ruhe revue passieren zu lassen. Für ihn stellt sich das so dar, dass er gewckt wurde, geduscht hat, sich in den Kreißsaal gesetz hat und sich darauf eingestellt hat, dort wie beim ersten Mal die nächsten 12 Stunden zu verbringen.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Habe ihm dann zurückgeschrieben:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"Hier ist der Teil, den Du verpasst hast: mariasimoneidejhs.blogspot.de/Valentins Geburt Teil 1"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Und jetzt muss ich weiter mein Baby abknutschen und mir überlegen, was ich morgen auf der Hochzeit anziehe.

(zur Erinnerung: <a href="http://mariasimoneidejhs.blogspot.de/2013/01/oder-wieso-ich-am-kehrwochen-trauma.html">Kehrwoche</a>.) Sie ist launisch, laut, zickig und unhöflich.

Grund ihres Anfalls heute morgen war übrigens die Tatsache, dass im Keller das Licht brannte und tatsächlich hatte ich es vergessen auszumachen. Innerhalb von drei Minuten fluchte sie mir alles an Familie was ich habe zusätzlich Jesus (falsche Zielgruppe) und dem lieben Gott (geht gar nicht!) und ich stand da, etwas von der Situation überfordert und überrascht von der Tatsache, dass es manchen Leuten tatsächlich nicht peinlich ist, an einem Feiertag noch vor 9 Uhr morgens das ganze Haus zusammenzukeifen....Die Situation brachte mich ins klassische Dilema: balkanero style streiten, sachlich diskutieren oder das </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mahaluse-Mantra: Toleranz durch Ignoranz?

Vielleicht gibt es ja die ein oder andere unter Euch, die es noch nicht wusste ;-). Aber da der Sommer ja wohl noch etwas auf sich warten lässt, bin ich ja auch noch nicht allzu spät mit den Infos. Den Look selbst gibts ja schon seit Anfang des Monats im Handel.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>"Wenn Gold und Sonne aufeinander treffen ...</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Begeben Sie sich auf eine Reise in ferne Länder, zu den Völkern der Sonne ...

Ein getöntes Pflegebalsam mit unzählige feinen, goldenen Mikroperlen, die sich wie ein Schimmer auf die Haut legen und so die Bräune zum Strahlen bringen, ohne zu fetten.

Ich war mir sicher, dass man auf dem CTG schon ein paar Wehen sehen würde, denn ich hatte seit ca. 10 Tagen immer wider zum Teil sehr schmerzhafte Kontraktionen gespürt. Bestimmt würde sie mir sagen, dass es bald losgehen würde.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Aber nix: Gebärmutterhals noch ganz lang, keine Wehentätigkeit, nicht einmal der Kopf saß schon fest im Becken.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Enttäuscht ging ich nach Hause und war mir nun sicher, dass Valentin sich nicht vor dem errechneten Termin auf den Weg machen würde.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gegen 23 Uhr ging ich ins Bett. Um genau 2:04 wachte ich auf (mein erster Blick geht nachts immer auf die Uhr) und ich musste auf die Toilette.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ich ging ins Bad und auf dem Weg dorthin spürte ich plötzlich einen gewaltigen Tritt im Bauch. Offenbar ging der Tritt direkt in die Blase, denn ich machte mir total in die Hose. Wie krass, dachte ich mir. Hochschwanger zu sein macht ja echt keinen Spaß; jetzt habe ich mich echt vollgepinkelt. Dass das kein Urin, sondern Fruchtwasser war und dass das kein Tritt, sondern das Platzen der Fruchtblase gewesen war, fiel mir erst ein, als man mich später im Kreißsaal fragte: "Frau Sommer, um wieviel Uhr ist ihre Fruchtblase geplatzt?" Wahrscheinlich lag es daran, dass ich noch im Halbschlaf war. Anders kann ich mir rückblickend nicht mehr erklären, wie ich denken konnte, dass solche Unmengen von Urin in meine hochschwangere Blase gepasst haben sollen, und wie sie schwallartig aus mir hätten rauslaufen sollen. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ich schlich jedenfalls zurück ins Schlafzimmer, zog mir etwas Frisches an und legte mich wieder ins Bett. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Keine zwei Minuten später bekam ich höllische Schmerzen. Nicht schon wieder diese Vorwehen, warum müssen die immer nachts kommen, dachte ich noch. Auch da kam mir nicht der Gedanke, dass ich gerade Fruchtwasser verloren haben könnte. Ich krümmte mich ein wenig im Bett rum, aber die Schmerzen wurden zu heftig und ich wollte meinen Mann nicht stören, deshalb ging ich runter ins Wohnzimmer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kurze Zeit später kniete ich im Vierfüßler in unserem Wohnzimmer. Rückblickend könnte ich mich kaputtlachen: Ich knie auf allen Vieren mitten in der Nacht auf dem Boden und glaube immer noch nicht, dass ich Wehen habe. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Schließlich habe ich mit der Stoppuhr des iPhones spaßeshalber mal die Abstände gemessen. Gefühlt konnte ich nämlich nicht sagen, ob das regelmäßige Schmerzen waren. Ich hatte einfach nur Schmerzen. Meine Zeitmessung ergab, dass die Kontraktionen zwar ziemlich regelmäßig kamen, aber viel zu schnell hintereinander. So schnell hintereinander kann ja nicht sein, also sind es doch nur Vorwehen, dachte ich. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Natürlich waren das Wehen! Und zu diesem Zeitpunkt kamen sie laut iPhone alle 2:45 Minuten... </span></div><br /><br /><a

Er hat sich in der Nacht auf den 25.05. sehr entschlossen auf den Weg gemacht.<br />Von der Geburt lest ihr in den nächsten Tagen hier mehr. Es war ganz anders, als ich es mir gewünscht habe, aber trotzdem ganz, ganz wunderbar und eigentlich dann doch perfekt.<br />Danke fürs Daumendrücken und Mitfiebern!<br />Eure MAMA Mia :-)<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mariasimoneidejhs.blogspot.com">mariasimoneidejhs</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06348045027343889535noreply@blogger.com0
