Touching the sky

But before I tell you more about our first amazing holiday, let me tell you more about the flights. We had a really early morning flight from Munich to Lanzarote and a midday one for the return. In the beginning we thought leaving the house at 4 a.m. would be a nightmare, and it actually …

First time on board!

No matter how much you've traveled alone, with your friends or partner, heading somewhere with a baby is a completely different story. Eventhough I was convincing myself that life doesn't stop with having a little one, especially looking at the families conquering the globe with the newborn or performing the bike-ride all over Europe with …

ERSTAUSSTATTUNG – WHAT APPEARED TO BE USEFUL?

I promised in the previous post about buying things before the birth to share what was useful in the end. First of all, to be honest with you we didn't buy or get anything we didn't need (except plenty of pacifiers and bottles, though still nice to have just in case), but not everything we needed …

Here we go!

Why would you think I disappear? Exactly! Our son was born in the beginning of October and the life turned out to be quite crazy! We needed to take our time to learn each other, start discovering the world outside of my belly and of course to recover from the birth. We are really happy …

Erstausstattung – What does the Baby need?

Don't get me wrong, I put the misleading article name on purpose. I remember googling for this topic in the first months of pregnancy and always finding those youtube bloggers advising what to buy being still pregnant! I would find much more helpful getting the information what baby actually needs AFTER the arrived baby proves …

My Top 5 Stuff-to-Buy to Make 9 Months Easier

My doctor kept saying me every time I went for regular checkup: "Genießen!", which means "enjoy!". This made me laugh in the beginning: how can I enjoy it, if I feel sick or tired or whatever comes next? The 9 months is exciting period of waiting and going through completely new set of feelings, when …

This magic “Schwangerschaft”: briefly about Trimesters

The way how the pregnancy goes is pretty much depends how happy you are with the fact. I was very happy, I still remember my first visit to the doctor and our first ultrasound. He didn't expect much to see, that what he told us, but suddenly we could really see the heart bits inside …

Telling your Boss “big news”

How would you tell your management, that you are having one of the most important periods of your life and those have nothing to do with the job? Basically, how and most importantly when would you announce that you are expecting a baby? Maybe the fact that I moved from the country, where they might ask …

IT-Mama INTRO

Well, despite of my personal promise to write here more often, my life had a different plan. However this plan motivates me to start new chapter here since I have been starting new chapter in my life. Let me call it IT-Mama as you might have guessed this is the new state I am going …

Devil in a tiny detail

Often we try to avoid unexpected evil NullPointerExceptions, especially once we work with POJOs. However sometimes instead of fixing the problem, one unintentionally introduces it. What could be less harmful than checking for NULL and only if the object is good, getting its property? Best, if you could do it inline! MyType object = new MyType(); …
