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 :)

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!

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!

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!

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!

Saturday morning. Slept in!
I'm 23 weeks pregnant today!
I got up this morning and realized it was 9 o'clock! omg, i usualy get up at like 7 cuz i'm a 60 year old soul! But i guess all my "hard work" yesterday made me tired haha i helped out cleaning at my parents new house. I think even as a pregnant person i should be able to do some house work without having to sleep for 11 hours lol Yes, i go to bed at 10! haha
Today- Skype with my beloved husband at noon, pack up a bed and some blankets for tonights sleepover at the new house then some more packing of my stuff. After i leave the 5th of May my parents are gonna install all the new kitchen stuff, new stove, fridge, freezer and dish washer. And when that's done they're moving in. And when i get back the 31st of May the house i grew up in isn't ours anymore :(
Since i live with them right now i need to get all my stuff to the new place before i leave for Canada!
Oh, and we're slepping over at the house cuz of Valborg. Kind of a spring celebation with a big bonfire in Trogsta. The village they are moving to.
I have a big problem! I lost my sun glasses! (again) I think they might be anywhere in this county..so the likelihood of me getting them back are slim i would say :( But if you have them..GIVE'EM BACK!
Saw bits of the Royal Wedding yesterday! omg, was Kate Middleton ever pretty! If Brian and I get married again (haha) i want a dress like hers!
Prince - Check!
Dress - Sarah Burton by Alexander McQueen...deliver!
Now, a quick good morning call to my brother. then start packing.
Oh it's Brian's grandmother's birthday today! Happy Birthday Elaine!
I got up this morning and realized it was 9 o'clock! omg, i usualy get up at like 7 cuz i'm a 60 year old soul! But i guess all my "hard work" yesterday made me tired haha i helped out cleaning at my parents new house. I think even as a pregnant person i should be able to do some house work without having to sleep for 11 hours lol Yes, i go to bed at 10! haha
Today- Skype with my beloved husband at noon, pack up a bed and some blankets for tonights sleepover at the new house then some more packing of my stuff. After i leave the 5th of May my parents are gonna install all the new kitchen stuff, new stove, fridge, freezer and dish washer. And when that's done they're moving in. And when i get back the 31st of May the house i grew up in isn't ours anymore :(
Since i live with them right now i need to get all my stuff to the new place before i leave for Canada!

Mrs crank!
So today is one of those days when i probably should stay away from all people cuz of my cranky mood! I'm just not feeling it today :/ hormones or whatever it is..it's not fun!
But i went in to town anyways and got some brown cotton stretch fabric for the baby sling i'm gonna make myself! a new one is like 800sek and it's the easiest design ever so why not make it myself, right?! My cousin had the "real deal" so i just copyed her's on a big piece of paper. Have to get the sewing machine from Trogsta back here and start working!
I also figured it was time to do the most boring and depressing thing ever...buy a new bra. maybe some people think this is the most fun ever! NOT when your preggers and your girls just grew two cup sizes in a month! But i got it done and oh well...
don't go to H&M for bras if your girls are bigger, i'm just saying. not a good idea..the staff don't have any knowledge on the subject. Lindex was the place to go today!
Hanging out with Julia later on...we were planing on going for a walk but ice cream infront of the tv sounded so much better haha
Hejdå!

Pampers baby box
Today i picked up my free baby box from Pampers at the baby/toy store, babyproffsen. I got this huge box with a diaper genie and 12 new bord size diapers and other stuff. mostly advertising stuff from different baby brands. but the diapers are good to have! The "diaper genie" is some sort of diaper bin for used diapers that have super expensive refillable bags to buy separate. so that was kind of an unnessacery gift. if anyone feels like they want one anyways..just let me know! it's yours!
Also went to the gym for aerobic class. The pants i was wearing this time were too big so they kept falling off haha and i had to spend more energi on keeping them in place than working out haha they will probably fit me later on i'm sure!
Brian booked my ticket to canada this morning!! I'll leave the 5th and come back the 31st! it's gonna be so much fun and feel so good to have some real family time with him and the belly! Miss him soo soo much!
Now, shower then bed i guess. have been super tired today!
Gnite!

Last day of easter
Good beautiful morning!!
Felt lonely to wake up in a quit house. I'm so used to having people around all the time now. But some time to my self is good too. wish i could have Brian here tho to wake up beside and have breakfast with!
I'm on this recycle-and-think-about-how-much-money-i-stend-train haha So i've desided that all or most of the baby's clothes that I buy will be bought second hand! Here in town a lady started about a year ago a store with quality baby clothes second hand! I wrote about that before too i remember. And in Canada there's a big chain called Once upon a child that sell used baby clothes.
So a few days ago i when in to the one here in town and i got three pair of little mini pants for 100sek! When i showed them to my mom she was convinced they were brand new! The lady that owns the store only accept good quality clothes in good condition. And omg was the lady even nice! the most helpful store owner i've met!! Loved it! i'll be back there soon for some little tiny onesies!
Before i buy too much I'm going to visit my dad's cousins, who all have kids that are over the baby stage, for some hand me downs! no baby clothes are getting past me!!
Here are pictures of the pants i bought for our little one!

summer's here?
It's unbelievable the weather we've had this weekend! 23 degrees C and not a cloud in the sky!
I got up this morning and went with my parents out to the house, in my "pyjamas" looking like a hippie! haha spent all day in the sun doing next to nothing. i'm really not a big helper around the house when the weather is this nice :)
Have had two busy weeks belive it or not. Charlotta was home from London and we've been up to something every day it feels like. Sushi night at Radjo's with Ida and Charlotta followed by 24/7 hangouts with the latter.
But to the interesting things! The baby is kicking more and more! i even felt it on the outside of my belly with my hand!!! It was such an awesome feeling! luckely i was talking to Brian on skype right when it happened! So we sort of experienced it toghether. Can't wait to go see Brian and have some real family time being married and pregnant together. It feels strange and sad sometimes starting a family together but away for eachother. But sooooooon i'll be there with him!
I told my grandma that the baby is more active at night with the kicking and she said it'll be one of the none sleeping babies. But i told her i'll trick it with the time change from sweden to canada! haha
I'll book the ticket to go see Brian and everyone else on tuesday! for three weeks hopefully!! can't wait!!
I'm home alone tonight..my parents are staying over night at the new house. not even the dog is home...feels a bit lonely. But i'm off to work in the morning so i'll just have to get through the night. which isn't gonna be a problem! i'm so tired from all the sun i got today!
Now i'm just waiting for Brian to get to his grandparents house for easter dinner so i can say hi to him on skype! i just talk to the rest of the family that's already there! wish i could be there too!! He's been working at the race track all day today, my hard working husband!!! aaaaaw baby! :) Miss him!
i'll get better with the updates now when i'm back to not doing more than work haha

And tomrrow right after work i'm meeting up with Ida for a walk around Lillfjärden and then coffee!! and it dosn't end there..no, than it's time for more häng with Charlotta!

Finally!
I finally went to the gym last night! after months of no working out..and i used to be the gym girl! it's sad! But last night i decided it was time haha Went to Friskis (a gym/aerobic classes) It was great! even tho i felt like i was working out in somebody elses body. Didn't have that bounce in my step like i used to haha and i couldn't lie on my stomach in the strength part of the class. But it was FUN FUN FUN!
Got home and had strawberries and a piece of bread while watching "En unge i minuten" the best baby show ever! a reality show about a labor and delivery unit in sweden. Then bed!
Talked to Brian this morning. Poor baby has to get up at 5am to talk to me before work. 11am my time. Miss him sooo soo much! Hope to go see him in May!!! Then he'll come here in August when it's time for baby to be born. Not fun being just married and than not be able to live in the same country!
I went for an hour walk with the dog too this morning. The weather isn't as nice as yesterday but it still felt good to get out. walked by Charlie's mom's house. Charlie is the best friend in the whole wide world!! :) And she's coming home for a visit on Thursday! i'm so excited to see her! We moved to Ireland together and when i moved to Canada she moved to London, England for university. Miss her so much! But for the coming weeks we'll have some quality stupid time! We always come up with the greatest ideas ever! (read "the stupidest and most ridiculous ideas ever") like opening our own business when we're 21 in a country we've never been too and we really think it's a great idea and that it'll be the easiest thing we've ever done! good thing is that we usualy get bored after planing for weeks and never actually finish what we've started planing.
baked cookies in lack of anything else to do as well. Små kakor, that conveniently enough translates to small cookies. tastes like sugar cookies kind of. half with jam and the other half with sugar and cinnamon. nice to snack on..every time i walk in to the kitchen!
Now i'm going out to see grandma..i'm starting to become a retired old lady myself! walking the dog, baking cookies and going to see my 70 year old best girl friend lo lthis is great! haha
Tack hej!, like Brian always ends swedish conversations! Love him!

hard work and a birthday cake
I haven't been writing the last few days...that's only because nothing fun has happened haha
I worked a long shift, 24 hours from saturday till saturday. Got home and made my dad's birthday cake rightaway. Recipe from Leila Lindholm's book a piece of cake. such a good cookbook!
Here's the Sunday lunch/birthday celebration in pictures. I'm more efficient with the camera then the key board. And i know it's more fun to look at pictures than read a novel about my weekend!

Ultra sound and another sunny day!
Went for my second ultra sound this morning and my new due date is the 27th of august. I guess i got the dates wrong when i figured out when i had my last period. First i had the 11th as my due date but we'll have to wait a few more weeks in august for the baby. Can always hope it'll come early! That's also why my belly had been looking pretty small. oh well, it'll come out sooner or later any ways, that's for sure! I didn't see the baby as clear as last time. but it was kicking and moving like it should! sooo cute!
After the ultra sound i went for a walk around Lillfjärden, a pond in the center or town. The weather was amazing and i had to have an ice cream in the sun after. it was just too nice out to not have one lol
Had alot of time to do nothing still so i went out to see Grandma! Got a sandwich and tea for lunch. We sat in the sun for hours chatting and solving crossword puzzles.

Tuesday
Today was my dad's birthday. And he celebrated the big day by leaving early for work to drop my tires of at the shop, going to work and than straight to the new house to meet up with the electrician. I'll probably be in bed when he gets home lol I did call him on his fika break this morning to say happy birthday!
There will be a more thorough celebration on sunday in the Mumin hus, gazebo. (and a mumin hus is absolutly not a correct translation of gazebo for thoes who is trying to learn swedish) and for thoes who is trying to learn english, don't always trust my spelling!
I worked at a preschool today..skolbyn. six year olds are usuly not my cup of tea but they where pretty well behaved haha my kids are not gonna have a picnic in the park growing up with me as there mom. maybe Brian will take on the more relaxed approach...or not...haha poor kids!
Tomorrow i'm going for a second ultra sound! can't wait!! usully they only let you have one but the baby seemed to be a bit small for it's age (19 weeks) so thay wanned a second one in week 21. I'm not very big myself so that's probably why. I don't feel worried at all.
I'll write more about that tomorrow.
gnite!

Spring is in the air! it's after 6pm and the sun is still really warm! Love it!
This is my spot in the sun! and you can see me too! haha
Spring is here! Snödroppar, for you canadians!
Now i'm just waiting for Brian to go in skype and have a date with me! can't describe in word how much i miss him!
Over and Out!
The weekend
Friday was a great mom and daughter day! We went to IKEA and Birsta city, a mall right next to ikea. I had decided to get as much of my maturnaty clothes shopping done for the spring and so i did!
I got, a pair of black jean-looking pants, black yoga pants, two shirts one pink and one blue and white striped. Two regular tanktops A sweater to go with the yoga pants and also a black bag and a necklace that dubbles as a watch. and a pair of spring shoes!! yey! thoes last things i explained to Brian, are very important when you're pregnant! haha all the clothes i got from H&M and the accessories from Gina Tricot. Shoes from Din Sko.
Mom and dad are there every day to drop of boxes and work on everything that needs work...which is everything!
Saturday i went to get my hair done at Ida's! A close friend and the best hairdresser ever! Madde was there too and we got beautified and gossiped for a few hours. Went for lunch at Delsbo pizzeria! :)
After some girl time i went out to check up on mom and dad at the house. Tons of people there for cofffee!
Fika is a social institution in Sweden; it means having a break, most often a coffeebreak, with one's colleagues, friends, date, or family. The word has quite ambiguous connotations and can mean anything from taking a break from work or other activities, to going on a date. This practice of taking a break, typically with a cinnamon roll or some biscuits or cookies, or sometimes a smörgås or a fruit on the side, is central to Swedish life, and is regularly enjoyed even by the government.[2]
I love Wikipedia lol!!

Bag and shoes. The clothes i'm sure i'll be wearing in a picture sometime.
They confirmed at the ultra sound, we're having a giraffe baby!
The IKEA plan didn't work out for mom. They have to get all new cupboards or paint the ones that are already there. The washroom is coming along really nice at the new house tho. It's down to the bare ground! Mom and dad are there every day to drop of boxes and work on everything that needs work...which is everything!
