8 days left...but please can't they go fast. I know that I shouldn't complain but I am really sick and tired of this right now. My body aces all over and I can baerly move anymore. Me, Martin and Filip went for a walk today and now I am exhausted. We thought that we could give the baby a lil* push by walking but no...nothing is happening.
Thankfully it's much cooler today. We have had very warm weather the past two weeks and I am so thankful that it has started to cool down a bit.
Well, there isn't much more to say today except...please lil* baby come out.

Momday, August 9th (38+0 days)

14 days left until my baby is due!!! Yeah!

Today is Martin and my moms birthday, Happy Birthday to you!!! We had a lil* birthdayparty for them yesterday.
The weather here in Sweden is hot, hot, hot and sunny, and I am about to melt away...It's hard being 9 months pregnant when it is this hot outside.

My entry is short today, I basically just wanted to show you these photos of my lil* boy that I took on the beach yesterday.







Thursday, August 5th (37+3 days)

I am in my final weeks:) I wonder when (s)he will decide to come out to us??? Filip came 9 days early and I am hoping that this lil* one will come a lil* bit early too. I am having a really hard time right now. My back and pelvic pains are worse than ever. Yesterday I could hardly walk... and I am also starting to contain water.
I went to see my midwife yesterday and everything was ok:) The lil* one is still fixated and all I have to do now is wait for him/her to arrive.

Thew weather has finally become better here in Southern Sweden. Although it's hard for me with the warm weather I definitely prefer this over a rainy summer. And that is what we have been having lately so now I am really happy about our lovely summerweather!

Some happy news!!! My lil* sister is expecting her first baby in January 2005.
And Martins lil* sister is also expecting her first baby in October:) There is a babyboom going on in our family right now. Especially since my brother and his finacée had their second babyboy this past March:)

Wow, only about 5 more weeks to go. I have to find Filip's old babyclothes and start washing them up. The only problem is that I haven't found them yet. We have moved since he was a baby and they are probably hidden somewhere in a closet in a box...
I went to my midwife yesterday for my regular check-up and the baby is now laying head down and (s)he's fixated. I can tell that the baby is fixated because I have to go to the bathroom all the time *s*.
I have taken some new bellyphotos today. I am carrying this baby totally different from how I carried Filip. I have carried this baby really low all this pregnancy and I carried Filip really high.
I am both looking forward and not looking forward to giving birth the natural way...I had a c-section with Filip beacuse he was laying with his head up and I had a real positive experience giving birth to him. I never experienced very much pain.
This time I know that I will experience a lot of pain, but at the same time it's going to be fun to be able to give birth this way.

We celebrated Filip's 2nd birthday on July 8th. Here are some photos from that day

After that we spent a lovely weeks vacation on a lil* island just outside Sweden's East Coast.



Wednesday, July 7th (33+2 days)

Summer is a lovely season but the weather here in Sweden has been everything else but lovely...I hope that will change soon because I want to be able to go to the beach with Filip so that he can play in the water. he really loves doing that. Martin is still working, he will take his vacation when the baby comes, exept for next week when we will go away for a week. So this means that me and Filip are all by ourselves all day long. This means that I am not able to relax in the way that I need to and my back and pelvic pains are worse than ever. Filip is a very active lil* boy and I have to play with him and go out with him during the days. Don't get me wrong I just love and adore my lil* son but it's hard to keep up with him now that I am so big and heavy.
Tomorrow is Filips 2nd birthday. Where does time go? Where is my lil* babyboy? And soon he will be a big brother, I just can't believe it *s* I promise to write a lil* note after tomorrow and show some photos from his day.
On Sunday we will go on a weeks vacation and it's going to be so lovely, I just hope that the weather will get better as we are going to a golf and beachresort.
My mom and dad and one of my aunts are going with us. My dad and Martin will be playing golf and me, mom and my aunt will just relax and have a good time. I know that I will get lots of help this week with Filip, my mom loves spending time with him so that means that I will be able to relax a whole lot *yeah*.

Well, I better get going, Filip doesn't like it very much when his mommy is spending to much time here in front of the computer:)

Thank you so much sweet Annette and Irene & Nicholas for the adorable birthday cards you sent to Filip.

Where do time go???
I am now in my 32nd week and it's exactly two months left today until my duedate:)
My belly is growing like it should and it's right on the normal scale. The baby is very active and sometime it feels and looks *s* as he/she will come right out of my belly.
My darling son, Filip is growing so fast now. He can speak hole sentenses now:) He is just adorable!
This post is not very long due to the lack of happenings in my life right now. I am at home all day long because of my back and pelvic pains and I don't get out much so that's why my life is kind of boring now *s*. But I don't mind, I love being at home and I tell you, I haven't read this many books in years:)

Finally, Trimester 3. "Only" about 12 more weeks until the baby gets here.
I have been put on 100% sickleave due to my back and pelvic pains. It feels great to be able to stay at home and not go to work. The baby is kicking away all the time and my belly is growing so much...I am beginning to wonder where this will end *lol*
I want to send lots of warm hugs and congratulations to my friend Stephanie who gave birth to her precious baby girl, Emma Rose, on May 21th.

Here are some photos of my lil* darling son taken two weekends ago.
