The working week is over for me. I have taken tomorrow off and I am looking forward to a nice and relaxing weekend.
On Saturday there is a big old fashioned market here in town and we will try to go there if the weather is fine. I will try to take some photos so that you all can see our beautiful town:)
I am doing fine. The baby is kicking away and I love it *s*. My belly is growing alot too, where will this end *lol*. The only downside of it all is my back and pelvic pains...
Today I had my 3rd appointment with my midwife. Here in Sweden we go to a midwife during our pregnancy. Everything was just fine:) The heartrate was around 140. She tried to listen to it with the doppler but the baby kept moving all around and she/he even kicked at the doppler so eventually my midwife had to take out the old fashioned "listener" (I don't know the word in English). That way I couldn't hear anything but she could and it sounded great. Then she tried the doppler again but the baby kept kicking and that noise was all we heard *lol*. I have a really active baby to say the least:) My next appointment is on June 8th. Then I will be in my 30th week.


Filips Kindergarten photo. Doesn't he look a lil* confused *s*? My lil* sweet darling.


I wish you all a lovely weekend!!!

I am finally feeling fine, thankfully.
I can't believe that it's May already, wow! The weather has been wonderful this weekend and we have spent alot of time outside. Yesterday me, Filip, my mom, my sister and her boyfriend went to a big and lovely park in Göteborg. Filip got to see alot of animals and he loved it.
Here he his. It's my sister in the photo with him.



Today we have been taking it easy, I guess you can tell from this photo *lol*


I wish you all a lovely Sunday!

Sick again...I guess I never quite recovered from last week when I was sick the last time. I think that I didn't relax in the way that I should have to recover and now I have to suffer from that...Well, I guess you learn every day right? Now I have to take it real slow and I have to relax alot to get well again. But it's not very easy with a lil* boy in the house now is it *s*. But I sure will try.

A new week. I am now in my 23rd week. I have been terrible at updating my journal, I am so sorry about this.
The weather has been wonderful the past week. The sun has been shining and the temperatures has stayed around 60-66 F.
Yesterday after work, me, my sister and Filip took a lil* driving trip to the sea. It was lovely!!! It was so warm outside, it usually isn't this warm here in April. Today it's raining but I am not complaining as we really need this rain.
Thank you sweet Karin for your lovely gift!
Have a wonderful week everyone! And please stop by my dear friend Sonia and wish her Happy Birthday today:)

I am very happy today!
My doctor put me on 50% sickleave and I also got to see my baby again. She/he has grown alot since the last time I saw her/him:) I also got to listen to the heartbeat, yeah!!!! My doctor thought it was very strange that my midwife refused to listen to them when I was there.
Well, anyways, I am so happy right now:)
Thank you so much sweet Irene and Luciana for sending me a package with adorable babyclothes and some cute clothes for Filip. You are so thoughtful and sweet!!!

Another week has passed.
I have had 5 days off from work during Easter and I really needed that time off. The weather has been wonderful and I have spent alot of time outside in the sun.
I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow and I reallt hope that she will put me on 50% sickleave. I have alot of problems with my hips and I really need to rest alot which is hard when you have a 21 month old lil* boy to take care of:) And I don't want him to suffer because I am tired and in pain all the time, that is why I want to work less.
I have adopted an adorable adoption, you can find it under adoptions.

Halftime today!!! Yeah!!!
My appointment with my midwife went so, so... She refused to listen to the heartbeat and I was stunned to say the least.
I mean I am 20 weeks pregnant and she was afraid that she wouldn't find the heartbeats because it was to early in my pregnancy...When I was pregnant with Filip is was customary to listen to the heartbeat in week 20. And I know that most midwifes do listen to the heartbeat even earlier than the 20th week. Well, well I guess I shouldn't be to upset about this because I can feel the baby everyday but listen to the baby's heartbeat is a wonderful thing and I feel so sad that I didn't get to hear it this time...
My next appointment is in week 25 and I really hope that I will get to listen to it then. If not I will change midwife that's for sure!!!
I went to the physio therapist last Friday. I was diagnosed with pregnancy related low back and pelvic pain. My hips really hurts now and I will go to the doctor on April 13th to talk about this. I really hope that she will put me on 50% sickleave, I just can't take working fulltime now that I am pregnant and have back and pelvic pains...

Wednesday, March 30th (19+2 days)

Well, finally I have my pregnancy diary up and running. I never thought that I would get it finished...*lol*
My very sweet friend Irene has made the graphics for my journal and I just love them!
Tomorrow is my second appointment with my midwife. Here in Sweden we go to a midwife during our pregnancy, not to a doctor. I will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the very first time tomorrow and I am really looking forward to that. I have seen the heart beat when I did the ultrasound but I didn't get to hear it.
Thank you sweet Annette, Luciana, Stephanie and Svanhvit for your lovely gifts!
