Surprise Baby Shower Brunch


My dad, Ray and Becky planned a cute baby shower brunch with a few of the friends I have made in Zurich. We had a blast at a very cute cafe in Zurich with the BEST chocolate cake ever!!!!

Enormous Belly Alert


On someone say...6 inches taller this belly wouldn't be so big, but on me...149cm or 4'11" tall its enormous! I assure you it will probably get bigger before this little guy makes his grand entrance! He is expected to be just around 7lbs if he arrives around 40 weeks, but I think he (and Ray and I) are getting anxious to be acquainted.

My Big Surprise....

I just had to say that I was completely surprised last Sunday! Ray and my dad planned a small baby shower brunch for me in Zurich with a few of my new friends here. I hadn't expected a shower at all since we moved mid-way through my pregnancy, so really it was wonderful! Ray also received big cuddos from my girlfriends here for planning the whole thing for me:)

Now we have lots and lots of stuff for the baby - including a few items my Dad and becky brought over for us from the States (some super cute outfits, play toys and bedding!)- I just have to figure out where to put it all! Hopefully this weekend Ray and I can put the nursery together to see if we need anything else. At the moment it looks like a war-zone with empty boxes, tools, car seats, prams, etc stacked on top of each other! Wish us luck making the room livable!

I will be 33 weeks tomorrow so he could be here anytime from 4-7 weeks from now:) We can't wait to meet him (now we just have to agree on a name!).

Swiss Entertainment


Just thought this photo who show you all how entertaining Switzerland is! This is how you MUST recycle your paper 2x/month. Small packets that are no bigger than 8" thick or 5lbs in weight and tied with string in nice organized bundles. I laugh every time I see it!
