Summer!

Summer's back!
Today has been a warm and relaxing day! I wish Brian was here so we could go swiming in the lake! one more month to go before he gets here! My love! miss him soooo much!!!

Here are some pictures i should have posted days ago! some are from toay too tho,

This is where we'll live the first little while before we go back to canada

It'll be out summer house here in sweden when we come visit.

Not too fancy, but cute like a summer house should be!

Sun set at about 11.30 a few days ago

Today

The newest edition to the family, Findus!!!

Me-time!

This midsummer weekend is almost over and i can't say it was too eventful. I worked from yesterday morning at 10am til noon today. 26 hours with double pay. not too bad! that's the good thing with working holidays..and since Brian's not here right now and the weather being extremely boring..i'm more than fine with that.

Today has been a Me-day! Even tho almost everyday i guess is like that. But today felt extra ME and not boring at all! i watched six episodes of sex and the city and did my nails! (which was much needed) haha and i'm just about to watch a few more before i go to bed. Love it!

omg, i forgot how much i love Hallomi cheese! everyone who hasn't tried it, DO! grill it and eat it just like it is! i think it's abit trickyer to find in canada then sweden but i know i've seen it there too! at the Super Store, i'm pretty sure!

Good night!

Miss handicraft...

I started sewing that baby sling a bought fabric for months ago today...don't really know how it turned out haha i guess we'll see when the baby is here to try it. not sure if it's always good to be "miss save money"? maybe i'm just miss cheap haha but the sling looks ok..i think i'm a bit self critical too tho.

Parent group today...it's the last time which is too bad! it's been fun! And after that i'm meeting up with my cousin and her two boys for some baby talk and play time in the park! Hope the weather holdes up...it looks like it might rain again today. this swedish summer hasn't been too exciting so far. Hopefully July'll be warmer!

The little kitten Findus moved in last week! So freaking cute!!! We've never had a cat before but i think we've got it right. He's outside exploring right now! He got lost (we lost him) for a few hours yesterday haha and panic was close! But he came back and he didn't seem to think it was a big deal at all! We should probably treat him more like a cat that a baby? haha

I'm 30 weeks + 5 days along now and i'm staring to feel it more! my back get sore from sitting, from walking and from lieing down lol noo...it's not that bad. But i definitely feel it more!! hope these 10 weeks that we have left goes by quick-ish! i still love being pregnant!

oh, had a lovely evening with the Delsbo girls last night! Elin, Ida and Madde! MYYYS!

Busy friday!

Today will be a fun and busy day! i'm extremly sick of quiet days right now!!! have had too many..
yesterday i worked in the afternoon and before that i had lunch with Annika. Very fun!
Today we (baby and I) have a midwife appointment at 8.30 and after that some time to kill at home but then, we're picking up a little kitten!!! Findus! Just cuz my dad is like Pettsson, a childrens book characture that lives on a farm with he's cat Findus..that he talkt to and everyone thinks he's crazy haha just like my dad! :)
At 3.30 i'm getting my hair done Hos Ida. Finally! i should have done it before i went to canada but...i'm way too late with booking appointments everytime i need one...soooo i had to wait! after the beautification we're having dinner at Ida's with lots of girl talk and gossip! weee!

Have to get ready!
Hope you're having a wonderful friday too!

morning walk- check!

We just got in from a morning walk, Bella and I. Everything is so pretty in the morning! It's not raining today but it's overcast and just a bit cool. The fog lie over the mountain top and it looks just like something out of a faity tale!
We met a girl who was out waking with her 2 month old daughter in her stroller. We talked for a bit and she lives just around the corner. She invited me for a visit one day. Super nice girl! Good to know the younger crowed here too! haha mostly i just see my parents friends that are in their 50's.

Now i'm just waiting to talk to Brian on skype before he goes to work. He's going to some kind of course today outside of Toronto so the poor thing has to get up at 4.20am or something :( He's working hard, my man! Love you baby!

Later today i'll keep working on the other house here on my parents farm, that's gonna me mine and Brian's summer house! Or anyone else that's coming to visit of course! Yesterday i got the beds in place and the cradle that's been in out family for at least 5 generations. My grate grandfather had it and he was born 1903. It was probably used before that too! Feels really special to keep it for our baby aswell!

I'll show a picture of the summer house later today!
Brian should be on skype any minute now!

It's here!

I got the stroller today!!!
But it wasn't as easy as that haha, after i went to the store to get more time on my cell phone my car, the famous Audi 80 -89 died on me right before i turned on the high way. So i had to call my mom who was in a meeting at work to see if she could pick me up. should also was that it was pouring rain outside all day! She got a minute free at work and got me. I drove her back to work and kept going to pick up my precious stroller! haha but i got there, paid for it and... IT'S MINE! i have been walking aroud the kitchen all day with it! it's so easy to steer and really light and easy to pack up! LOVE IT! I hope the baby will love it too! :) I made it all nice with the Winnie the Pooh blankets Allison and Kalyn got for me at the shower. Can't wait to let the baby try it!

On the weekend my mom and I went to Leksand to celebrate my cousin Beatrice who graduated high school, which is a big deal in sweden! And that's the one thing that makes it feel like summer is really here! Everything was great, the sun was shining and i got to see both my aunt and her family and my uncle and his wife came up from Stockholm, and lots of other people!

I'm feeling good still. But it's starting to get heavier on my back. i've gained about 9 or 10 kg and it's all mostly in the belly area. And i'm not sure but i think i've started having some morning sickness and heartburn, but i don't know. might just be my stomach that's not feeling it right now. haha too much food on the weekend maybe :)  

Our lovely three wheeled cruiser! BabyTravel Amsterdam

So, this is where the little sweet pea will sleep like a royalty :)

A gift for the baby from Beatrice. She picked it up in China! soo sweet! Thank you so much!

Love it!

Comment!

If there's anyone who's reading the blog and feel like they wanna share their ideas on the stroller, please do! In swedish or english, dosn't matter. I wanna get as much information as possible before i buy it!

BabyTravel Amsterdam

I found a stroller that might be the right one!

BabyTravel Amsterdam it's called. It's 2010's mode and it was on clearance for a much better price!! woho! so i put it on hold for monday. They only had one left so i thought, This is it! haha Mom and I are stopping at Barnens Hus on our way home from Leksand on saturday and i'll have a good look at what they have before i decide. Really i wanned an Urban Jungle, but since that one isn't really in our price range right now i have to settle for something a bit less expensive. and this one looks and feels almost the same as the UJ.

It comes with the stroller and the basinette attachment for the baby to lie in the first 9 month or so. I've been looking everywhere in canada for the basinette strollers but people don't seem to care if there baby sits like a banana in a car seat all day and get's a sore little back from it. so i guess i'll have to buy it here in sweden and bring it back with us.

This is it! But i got it in red.

The basinette is black, like this one, and attaches on to the stroller when you take the seat off.

I'm pretty excited! weeeee! 

This will be a tough summer!

I think someone told me that being pregnant in the summer is pretty warm and unbearable..i thought they were over exaggerating. Turned out they weren't. Oh my lord...i worked a full day at daycare today and for some reason i guess it's good for kids to be outside? well...let's just say that it would have been nicer to stay inside!
I had to stay home from stroller shopping and hanging out with Julia, i was sooo tired! i'm still tired! haha and i'm working full time in July...Ah whatever!

didn't do much after work then...had to go pick up my Sex and the city box set at our old neighbor's cuz i had said i was going to. They are leaving for the states tomorrow morning! Their son is there for a school exchange. They will have so much fun! Have a great trip, if you're reading!!!!!!!
And when i got home i sat on my bum and watched tv!

Now i'm ready for bed.

Oh, tomorrow is my first time in the "new parents class"! And i'm going to look for a stroller before that. I'm not buying anything..I just have to figure out what i want. and then find something that has everything i want. I've always been picky with things...it's good to be rich when you're picky..too bad i'm not!

Good night!

Svenska flaggans dag

Today's Sweden day, or the sweden flag day i guess they call it.

Right now i'm making banana bread to bring to my brothers God daughter (is it even called that?) anyways, he is this girls god father. We're going over for a visit! she's 6 months and i just have to have some baby time soon! can't wait to have my own little baby babes to hug and cuddle!!!

Brian got home late last night from work (in canada) so i couldn't talk to him before bed. and man, was i ever worried he'd been in a car accident or something omg! i'm getting so freaking worried over everything now. think it has to do with the pregnancy. My brother just got a motor bike and i'm so worried about him too! i really don't wanna be this way! it's just silly!!!

Gotta go hang the laundry. I get stains on my shirts everytime i use them now cuz my belly is in the way haha every day i have a big stain on my tummy. looks funny and i don't have any clean shirts! hope they are dry before i have to leave the house!

28 weeks + 1 day

Is this baby ever gonna get bigger than an eggplant? haha
