Yoga

Have you ever tried yoga? I had my first yoga experience this past Friday and it was great! (iyengaryoga is what I did) What a good work-out! If you haven't tried it you should.
You will stretch muscles you didn't even know you had. My feet hurt the must afterwards, which is not what I expected.
So find a class and try it out - I'm going back tomorrow for another class :)

news (at least for me...)

On the news yesterday, they said that is was 95 years ago since Easter was this early. And the next time will be in about 152 years!!!! Pretty cool that I got to be part of it! :)

I also found out that yet another friend is having a baby, due in September, her second child! It makes you start thinking...but just thinking!!! ;) Have a good day everyone!

Good Friday (Långfredagen)

This is a first...I have never had my birthday on good friday ever! But it happened this year.

My day has been good. Started out with breakfast in bed with a giggling 10 month-old daughter! She gave me a present and my beloved had made me American biscuits!! (Keep in mind that this was 8 in the morning - very ambitious!)
In the evening my beloved and my brother-in-law made a great meal for me and my sister and my mom.
And the big happening of the day - Ice skating World Championships!! We went to see the ice dance/freedance event. It was great fun! For those of you who don't know by now, France won the gold, Canada silver and Russia got the bronze.
I'm off to bed! Night night.

expecting....

Found out that a friend of mine is expecting a baby in September. That makes me think of my own pregnancy and how, just a year ago, I had no idea what to expect. I felt as well prepared as I could be, but I don't ever think you fully grasp it all until the baby arrives and you start living with this new person every day. It's amazing how, just after a few weeks, it feels like this new person has always been at your side.
You forget so quickly - about the nausea and the swoolen feet and cramps in your calves in the middle of the night.

It's the best the thing that's ever happened to me and also the biggest challenge in your life - only in a good way! :)

shaky legs...

Well, I caught some bug yesterday and I am not feeling well. And a fever too....Well that's it - luckily, my aunt came over with some groceries and took J for a walk so I could rest. Thank God for family!! I don't have the energy to write anymore - maybe in a few days.

Adrenalin

Today was eventful - no less than two 911 calls! I think it's a record. But no need for ambulance so no worries. J got a reaction when eating eggs. Since this has happened twice before (not due to eggs though, at least not the first time), I knew what would happen and that it would be over after 20-30 minutes. And it was. But it's still a bit scary and the adrenaline is pumping. I feel just as exhausted as J.

After that she slept for an hour and a half! I guess her adrenaline was pumping as well. And now she refuses to nap. Back to the grindstone...:)

Welcome to D's world : )

Well, here I'm, in the world of blogs. I never thought it would come to this....
I will probably write in Swedish most of the time (I think), so all you English speakers out there have to forgive me.

I went swimming with J and D today. Wonderful but tiring. She's getting really good at it and laughed through the 30 minutes in the water! Grandpa E also came to watch and admire her. We tried diving too and she did so twice - but after that she decided not to do it anymore. She just sat there and looked at me while I tried to persuade her to get into the water! I tried everything; soft silly voice, toy, big smile etc, but nothing worked. Smart girl...:)
And on Tuesday we're at it again...three times in a week...hopefully this might make her forget all about teething.
