It's a bird....

it's a plane, NO! it's an elephant!

I put Noah in his highchair for a second to go out and see how it was going when Fredrik fixed with the pool. Of course Noah didn't like this and started to wine a bit, which means that my phsyco dogs wine too! Extremely high pitched at that. I ran to go back into the kitchen to shut them up and ran a little to fast. I litteraly flew over the threashold and hit the floor with a major CRASH!
Lying on the floor like a wounded seal I scream, the dogs scream and Noah screams!

I must be some kind of New Age Superwoman at the very least because I'm certain I have several broken bones(ego) but because I have such a high pain tolerance I'm just keeping it together. I do however have a couple of serious cuts and huge bruses on my arm and one on my leg and lots of other places that hurt, places I didn't know I had.
Worse is my shoulder though, killing me and I have to pick up Noah...aj aj aj. Cluts! That's me!

Haven't had time

to empty the camera with pool pics yet so just thought I'd throw in some pics from the last couple of weeks.

Little miracles

I was going to show and tell about the past week. So many happenings. BUT...two little miracles came to the world and have left me feeling lucky to get to know them. So proud of my two friends, first time moms, strong, beautiful, and many other things.
One due on 6/6 and one due on 20/6 but both decided to give me a heart attack and head for the delivery room the same day! Funniest part was Thursday evening when I received a photo of an adorable little girl with the message "Here I am since 20.18, Mom and Dad's longed for little daughter". The message was from the proud father whom I didn't have the number to so I had no idea which one of my friends this princess belonged to. White pages helped us there and we figured it out.
The next morning I still hadn't heard from my other friend and was getting a little worried, but finally around 10 I got the longed for message that a little boy had come to our world in the middle of the night.
Since both of these women had met at one time I messaged the one friend to let her know that the other one had even gotten her daughter and perhaps they would run in to each other. Funny thing is, she messaged me back, not only did they run in to each other, they shared a room!

Anyways, I'll close with a beautiful poem that my wonderful friend L welcomed Noah to the world with. (L, I know I never wrote a comment to this poem but I saw it a couple of months after when I realized I hadn't read your blog in ages and went way back, now I read it everyday. It took a little research but I found this, thank you)

Det är som ett mirakel
när ett barn har blivit fött
- ut kom en liten mänska
som ingen förut mött.

Ett spädbarn är så vackert
och dess doft helt underbar.
Och det är nåt visst med blicken
som är sällsamt vis och klar.

Från den stund man tar emot det
blir inget mer detsamma.
För ett barn förändrar livet
för sin pappa och sin mamma.

Ett sånt hav av ömsint kärlek
som plötsligt väller fram
för detta lilla under
som ännu vägs i gram.

(Ett nyfött barn, av Siv Andersson)

L with family and K with family, we are so happy for you and your families. Congradulations!!!

No Gucci in a bag

but luxury in a box.
Fredrik returned home last night from his short trip to Italy. He came with gifts! I got some new Kanebo face care products that I use and this lovely watch! Isn't it pretty? Thanke you love, I really needed a boost after this last week with our son.

Splish Splash

It's here! Sitting outside on the lawn. Rumor has it the men are coming on Monday to start digging and putting it together! Soon soon, one whale in a bikini please!

Strollers

When I was pregnant with Noah the first thing I did was start to look for a stroller. It's absolutely a passion of mine and I love to look at strollers.
This time around the "in" stroller is a Bugaboo
and loads of celebs have them. I really didn't get it. Seems hard to steer, especially in sweden with cobblestone streets and hard winters. After Fredrik and I talked about how hard it must be to steer in the city on the cobblestone we saw a man 10 minutes later having a hard time on exactly that.

Yes, they are pretty cool but I just love the baby style of Emmaljunga which we baught.

Well now I'm starting to think about a lighter, easier stroller that doesn't take as much space in the car. A stroller for when we all are heading somewhere or we just want a quick easy stroller. His big stroller is still perfect for long walks and all that but just something more fun for other stuff. Bugaboo has now released a new Bee that seems pretty cool, not the cutest stroller inte the world but people who have one love them. Others really hate them.

The Bee comes in a really nice black and beige color that I'm a little soft for.
On the other hand, they really are expensive and I'm not so sure they are as small as an umbrella stroller. Esprit for example has a really nice umbrella stroller.

If you could choose, what would you do?

My Friend(hate it)

Yepp, it's back! It may not seem like anything to you but I've been without mine for a year and a half! I did NOT miss it either! The bad thing is, and this is really bad, Fredrik asked me if it was back before I even told him. I was sort of not saying anything so he couldn't blame these last few days on it but he knew anyways! I keep looking for what signals I left around because he's not really that attentative lately.

Which, by the way, I'm way past pms really. Still mad as hell about it though.
