I’m feeling pretty lousy today, so I’m going to keep this brief. The last two days were a blast. Wednesday I met up with Sarah in town and we headed over to Kaminski (Hinter der Grieb 6) – hopefully I didn’t talk her ear off! Kaminski comes highly recommended by the Regensburg expats I’ve gotten to know. Since I only had coffee and a croissant, I can’t really gush about it, but I will be heading back to try out the food. After a two and a half hour coffee break, I rushed through the supermarket (luckily I had a well-organized shopping list and everything was easy to find), in order to make it home in time for my dinner guests. As I was speeding my way home on the Autobahn (probably at times driving like I should be in a black BMW – yeah, bad, bad me), Maria called to say that they were close. So close, in fact, that I had just gotten the groceries in the house and made the obligatory pregnant lady run to the bathroom when they rang the bell.
It was really great seeing Maria and meeting Kevin and The Boy. I swear The Boy is the smiliest baby I’ve ever met. It also ends up that Rainer once saw Kevin play back in the States. We had fun making and eating Thai barbecue and Rainer enjoyed it so much that he says we need to have grill parties more often. We also have no place to walk in our guest room anymore, they left us with loads of great baby stuff that The Boy has outgrown.
Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary by having our traditional breakfast out. We shopped, had huge ice cream sundaes, and got to see Oliver at the latest ultrasound screening as well (sorry, no pic, we didn’t get a printout this time). The radiologist says he’s gonna be a big boy – at least in the top 1/3 percentile in size (yippee for me).
After all this excitement though, I was nearing collapse. But I couldn’t sleep yet! I had to stay up to see my favorite, Barbara, win Germany’s Next Top Model. Woohoo! (Although I thought Hana should have finished second).
Today has been torture. I seriously thought about calling a doctor or hospital at one point I’ve been so uncomfortable. My back is in knots, my hips ache and I’ve got seriously painful sciatica going down my right leg. So most of today has been spent laying in bed or on the sofa with my legs elevated, except for the long Rheumabad I just took which has allowed me to make this post. I don’t want to lose all the relaxation I gained in my warm bath, so that’ll be it for now. We’re headed to the in-laws for the long holiday weekend (and meeting up with J. in Koblenz), so have a great weekend and see you next week!
