There's a whole new kind of love growing inside of me... This journey is not only making my tummy grow but is also unlocking a new room in my heart. From getting the news we can't have children to feeling my miracle baby move and kick and already live its own little life inside my tummy, my heart has grown in ways I didn't know of before. We only have 8 more weeks to go and while I feel how special these short 9 months are and I treasure the closeness to my baby, I can't wait till I can hold our miracle in my arms. From then on my life will be about learning and failing and learning again of how to let go, but till then I'll hold a little longer, as close and as loving as I can. Baby you are making me fall in love again and again every single day ❤️ . #32weeks #fallinginloveoverandoveragain #miraclebaby

Like every year by the time it's March I get itchy to head out to warmer places and hit the trail. But with a 30 weeks baby bump things are a little different this time around. Our baby is coming in 10 weeks so we're probably gonna stay at home this summer. Still we can't wait to take our pumpkin out on the trail, so we're already planning a trip to the Canary Islands in October and we hope to fly over to the US again next year for some miles along the PCT or CT. Our life is definitely gonna change but we still hope to travel at least 3 months a year and just take our baby with us on our adventures. We're curious already what "lightweight backpacking" with a kid looks like 🤪... Also I could't resist buying our bubba that cool trucker hat. Maybe we should hike the Arizona Trail then? #hayduketrail #coloradoriver #grandcanyon #takelessdomore #willprobablybetheotherwayaroundsoon #takemoredoless

"Do these hare tracks mean we're having a boy?" 🤪🐰 I've really been enjoying our winter trip to the Bavarian Alps. While initially we wanted to go to Sweden, the drive up there would've been just too long and exhausting for me. My body is reacting very differently during pregnancy and I have to pay close attention to what it tells me so I don't overdo it. It was quite hard to say no to a longer trekking adventure but I bet once our baby is born, we'll take our pumpkin out as soon as we can. These shorter backcountry skiing days have been wonderful too though. Slow and easy bc skiing seems like the perfect sport for me during pregnancy. ❄️❤️ . #oberammergau #graswangtal #abseitsderpiste #backcountryskiing #3monthsleft

When I was talking about our upcoming adventure being even greater than our last one in Lapland I wasn't talking about our snowy adventure here in the German Alps, I was talking about this magical lifetime adventure growing inside of me 🥰. We are so so happy and we can't wait to hold our baby in our arms in the beginning of June. We've been wanting to become parents for a few years now but we had to keep postponing because of my health and my surgeries. And then when my recovery finally was coming along so that my hips felt strong enough to carry a baby we found out we can't have children the natural way. Or so they said... Cause three days after we sat at the doctors office and we were told our only option is ivf/icsi I held a positive pregnancy test in my hands!! From absolute heartbreak to the biggest gratitude in just three days!! Our baby truely is one in a million and we are grateful every single day for this miracle growing and kicking inside of me. So many people have difficulties conceiving but it's not often talked about openly. It's been a painful ride in the last couple years wanting to have a child but not being able to, and the silence that surrounds it makes it even more painful. So while I am living in my cloud of gratitude and happiness I also think of the women and men who so desperately would love to have a baby but can't have one. I wish there'd be a way to ease the pain but I don't think there is except for creating time and space to listen and share our stories of love and loss and hope... ❤️ #myheartisexploding #25weekspregnant #adventureofalifetime #babycoming #6monthspregnant #miracle #dewonderenzijndewereldnognietuit #soinlovealready #oberammergau #laberberg

Time for snow ❄️❄️❄️

What struck me most in Sarek was the absolute silence and peace... Not a human around, no planes flying over, no nothing but for the snow, the mountains and the tracks of wolverine, lynx, arctic fox, snow hare and ptarmigan. It's the most silent place I've ever been... also... the coldest. Our backcountry ski expedition, though nothing like a thruhike of months in a row, is definitely my most memorable adventure so far, the one I keep on thinking of "Fuck, I did that?" But... might well be our next adventure pushes Sarek to a second place 😁... Stay tuned! . #sareknationalpark #sapmi #visitlapland #sarek #sarekskiexpedition #fjällskidor #minus35degrees #silenceismyfavoritemusic #sweden

Fjäll or mountain? Sweden or Switzerland? So hard to decide where to go in the next couple weeks... I guess we'll just be spontaneous and see where the adventure takes us 🤪 #backcountryskiing #fjällskidor #sarek #sareknationalpark #visitlapland #sapmi #goforsnow

Catching up on our time in the Eastern Sierra past June and July. This beautiful dayhike along the North Fork of Big Pine Creek to Second Lake and Temple Crag killed my hips but it was kind of worth it. I took a wonderful cold swim in the lake before hiking back down and driving back to our desert camp in the Inyo Mountains. The Sierra Nevada will always be my first love in the States, a place I'll always return to! 🏔❤️ #Sierranevada #easternsierra #secondlake #templecrag #bigpinecreek #bigpinecreeknorthforktrail #homeawayfromhome

Swipe to see what happened past July... I haven't been very active on Instagram in the past 8 months, so before I start sharing about our upcoming adventure I got some catching up to do. Like about when in July, during our annual Yosemite visit, we watched this beautiful sunset on Half Dome and Dan asked me a question. What else could I answer but 'YES'? 😄 He had a white golden ring with a small opal made for me and he had been carrying it around in his backpack for almost a month before we finally made it to one of our favorite spots in the Valley.💍 Here's to a thousand more adventures with my best friend! ❤️ #ahwahnee #yosemite #halfdome #Isaidyes #engagement #couldntbehappier #yosemitevalley #love
