Kid-friendly Hike near Munich: from Schliersee to Schliersbergalm
In 2019 we were new to Munich and young twin parents, yet trying to enjoy Munich’s surrounding nature. Our first hike was up to Schliersbergalm. Although Schliersee is so close (easily reachable by train, about 35Minutes by car from Munich), it is a different world: scenic views, Bavarian food, kid-friendly Alm with a playground. Over […]

A festival of love and friendship
Four years ago Pouya and I celebrated our marriage in Austria. A version of this post has been slowly descending on my draft list. Too early, too pregnant, too much with twins, too Corona. Today the time has come for me to remember these truly exceptional days with some reflections. For the fun of it, […]

A special second birthday in the mountains
We celebrated the girls’ second birthday weekend by hiking up to and staying at Brunnsteinhütte in the Karwendel region. I recommend this if you do not feel like cakes, presents and all the birthday preparations – but instead simply enjoying nature, family time and the simplicity of a DAV-hut. Brunnsteinhütte – a sustainable and family-friendly […]

Twin Update: Welcome, Aria & Kiana
On July 3rd at night we were able to welcome our twin girls. I was told they entered this world screaming – a positive sign for preemies. They weighed a smashing 1300 & 1600g and from the very first day were showing the nurses and us quite some attitude given their size 😉. The names: […]

The everything will be fine-people
Twin-Update: We have made it to full 31weeks of pregnancy. Both girls are tiny for their gestational age, their dopplers are within range (not great, yet not concerning). They are very active in my tummy which, in general, a good sign. Within the next three weeks the doctors will get them. Since they are still […]

Couch Rest, week one: A Recap
Baby Updates first: Given we only had laser fetoscopic surgery last week the babies are recovering as good as they could. Fetus 1 is alive, has a normal amount of amniotic water for the first time. By no means does this mean they are out of the woods, but it does give us cause to […]

Twin Update: acute twin-twin-transfusion system…
Something seemed wrong on tuesday. I called the hospital, they instructed me to come straight into the delivery room. When I arrived there were 6-8 of people waiting for me, assuming that they had to deliver the twins. Up until that point I had not been too worried, but after my female doctor had told […]

Twin-Update: sIUGR – the new vocabulary to learn
It is early Tuesday morning and as I am writing this I am eagerly awaiting the doctors’ rounds in the hospital to convince them to release me today. It is not a normal Tuesday, today my step sister is getting married which is the only reason I am in my home town Kassel. The babies […]
