On hold

I'm just sitting here being on hold on the phone with my midwife's office..think i've been sitting for about 20 minutes now. but i don't have anywere to be anyways haha
oh, now they took my call!
Have an appointment June 3rd. yey! get to hear the baby's heartbeat again! And the week after the new parent class starts. Or really it starts June 1st but i'll be coming in from canada that say so i'll miss that class..My good friend Julia offered to come with me to the class since Brian is still in Canada. But we'll have a longer meeting with the midwife when he get's there in August to go through all of the stuff we talked about in class.

So tomorrow is the last day of Family time. I'm soooo not happy about it!!! wish i could stay longer but i have to get back to work and Brian needs to keep working for about 2 more months too before he can come to Sweden. And then it's only a month until the baby is here! I'm getting more and more excited everyday! it's getting to feel more real now, when the belly is bigger and i can feel the kicking and movment all day almost!

The weekend was great! Friday Brian's granma Elaine and I went shopping in St Catharines. Found great sales at two Maternaty clotheing stores so i got three mat-shirts and a nursing top. Awsome stuff! Pink and light pink, needed some colour for the summer!!!  And i got a dress from Walmart for my cousins graduation. A long maxi dress..woho! a bit outside the box for me! :) Have seen so many celebrities in maxi dresses when they're pregnant and it looks so good on them, so i thought i might try it! haha have to hem it a bit tho, since i'm about 30 cm shorter then any celebrity lol
Later that night Lesley came down form Waterloo for the night. She came with gifts for baby! ;) she works at Old Navy so she got some adorable Canada Day shirts for next year and the year after that lol and a few other things! Thank you soooo much Aunt Les! 

Saturday, Brian's mom had put on a big bbq in Port Colborne with all the family, and some friends too, on her side. Super fun to see everyone! Thanks Wendy!!!

Tonight is our last night as i said. So after Brian's done work we'll go for dinner at Montanas, where my very sweet sister in law Lesley gave me a gift card on mothers day! (cuz i do have a baby...in my tommy!) haha

Now it's time for a mid-morning snack!

Baby shower and Swedish meatballs

Tonight we're having Chris and Sarah over for dinner! Swedish meatballs on the menu with berry pie for dessert.

The past weeks have been amazing! Seen so many friends, family and great people!
Last saturday i went over to my friend Allison for a little get together with the girls from my old job at starbucks. And i got a super awesome suprise, when they told me it was a baby shower!! weee! so happy! can't thank them enough for all the cute things the baby got!!! Very fun!!
suprising enough on my part...i didn't have my camera with me...so no pics :( i really suck when it comes to taking pictures!

Just found out today about this ash cloud over Iceland. I guess everyone else in the world knew about this? Called Lufthansa and my flight is still on schedule. have to check everyday tho to make sure there's no changes.

Have to start cooking now!

Later!

Kick for dad!

Last night before we fell asleep Brian got to feel the first kick with his hand on my belly! i thought before that it might just be my imagination that i could feel it from the outside but he definitely felt it!!! it makes it way more real for both of us! i think our baby will be either a soccer palyer or a cheerleader or something else where you run around jumping, kicking and doing backflips! :) Cute!

still haven't found a camera cord so the blog is still a bit dull..but i'll keep working on that!

Today my brothers friend Zarah, whos daughter he's good father to, posted on her blog that's she's thinking of selling her Urban Jungle stroller. maybe we can get it from her. yey! that would be nice, that's the stroller i'm looking for. Anyhow, her blog is fun and her daughter Oline is super cute! http://amor-infantil.blogspot.com/

I don't have any plans for today...well i'm probably making cupcakes of muffins. which will be a hit when Brian gets home from work! :)

Oh, and Brian's mom called from work and said one of the girls there brought in a baby swing for our baby. she said they had two for there baby and that we could have the extra one. How nice is that?! can't belive sometimes how thoughtful some people are! it's greatly appreciated!!! thank you sooooo soooo much!

We've had the most amazing time ever the last few days! just to be together gives me so much energy! I've been taking alot of pictures at the bbq we had on saturday and other fun things BUT, it seems like my little camera cord is in sweden...damn it! I'm hoping maybe someone here has the same kind as me so i can put some pics up. It's no fun reading a blog without pictures, I know!

Today i drove Brian to work in Hamilton. My very handsome husband wears a shirt and a tie everyday now! mmmmm yum! haha After i droped him of i went to Starbucks to enjoy my very first Chai in like 6 months! oh my lord was it ever nice!!! haha sat there for a bit and read a book and embraced the feeling of not having anything to do all day! (except vacuuming, dishes, walking the dogs and some other little things) all that just so i won't go crazy over not having anything to do haha

When i get a cord for the camera i'll post pictures and write more about the weekend!

Hejsvejs!

Äntligen!

Finally i'm here!
We got in from the airport yesterday at about 6pm. That made my trip 18 hours long from door to door..loooooong!!!!

Can't even describe how great if feels to be back with my Brian! We're really gonna make the most of this month now! Brian has to work alot but i don't care haha just to be able to hug him everyday is big! And to cuddle up with him and the tummy infront of the tv at night is better than words can say!

Today is just a hang-out-after-a-long-flight-day. Not doing much. Tried kelly's super amazing vacuum cleaner, The Animal a while ago lol really good on the dog hair haha
Too bad i forgot to ask brian how to work their tv. internet will do for today.

Now, a snack and then maybe a nap haha

One more sleep!

aaaah! can't belive i'm leaving for canada tomorrow!!!!  i'm super excited and super nervous that the train is gonna be late tomorrow morning. SJ, the train "company" or whatever it is are not the best on being on time. But there's no earlier train so i'm just gonna have to risk it. hopefully it'll work out! There's no snow and there hasn't been any storms with fallen trees in the last few weeks. so with a little bit of luck i'll get to the airport in time! flight leaves at 10am the train at 6am.
I fly to Copenhagen and from there to Toronto. I'll get in to Toronto at 3 something in the afternoon which is 9pm swedish time. i'll be ready for bed probably but i'll stay up and fight the jetlag!

Now i just have to pack my stuff. Not bringing too much. I can wash my clothes at Kelly's and Brian's granma told me to leave some room for things on the way back! :) so cute!

Have to get a nap in today! I worked last night and i never sleep as good at work as i do at home. This morning was the first time in forever my alarm clock woke me up. So tired!

Now, get something to eat. Hungry as always! haha

Over and out.

Baby appointment!

Had a midwife appointment this morning. Everything's good and the baby's heartbeat is the cutest thing i've heared!! I had a long list with questions that the midwife smalled at haha she was super nice! It was the first time i met her. last time we had another nurse. But Maria is gonna be our midwife for the rest of the pregnancy.

Only three more sleeps untill i go to canada for a visit!!! yeeeey! can't wait!
Feels so amazing to be able to go for dates and do fun stuff with the person i love, like we use to!

Omg it's cold in this house!!! the heat is turned off, that makes it about 14 dergees in here. don't know what to do with myself! too bad i'm not working today!!! wish the summer weather comes back again!

k, i'm gonna run up and down the stairs now to keep warm (not really, but i'm getting extra socks!)

Hejdå!
