Finally

I really must have an interesting life!?! Everyday I take pics that are so cute, and so many things happen that I want to write about to keep a memory of and show my family but I seriously don't keep up!
Anyways, here's a few shots of the last of the pool being built. Next entry will be premier pics of the whole family so bare with!

Water!



My curious neighbor

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.

My Mothers Day gift from Fredrik and the boys


Noah learns to crawl




And stand!




The sandals I swore I'd never buy but they are REALLY comfy on long walks!


More to come but Noah is calling, very loudly!

Today

More to come soon on todays pool happenings but soon it's Sweden-Russia in soccer and we are all looking forward to it!!



Brothers


Last night we went to visit Louise with family, here is me and there little son. He's so beautiful!

Yesterday

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.

Maybe baby

Feeling a little better today, or alot. Didn't feel bad yesterday either really, I was just irritated at my man. We took a latte and a nice talk when he came home so today I love him again haha. I did however take a look at my next nail appt. and it's at the same time he's in Italy(can you believe he's going to Italy without me, that makes me mad). I hope he plans on finding me a babysitter because I really don't want to miss it!

I'm a little mad at the sun that burned me yesterday despite the fact that I was mostly in the shade! I have a kink in my shoulder/neck and I wonder if it's because of the burn. Hurts like crazy. Since I actually have a mad/crazy love affaire with the sun I decided to forgive him and go out in it again today. With sunscreen on of course!


Noah's calling so best I go get him and give him some breakfast

Forward march

Noah just managed to sit himself up from lying on his belly. First time I think and I don't know how he did it. He's been cranky as usual all evening and I'm happy for the 3 minutes he finally could play on the floor. He's good att going from sitting to belly but not the other way. He's actually getting better and better during the day but he still wont sleep many minutes a day and his evening temper is killing me. Literally, my whole body aches in the evenings and mornings. Fredrik is NEVER home and rarely do I find out about it until about 6.30pm when I'm wondering where the heck he is. And YES! he's away tonight too! Work work work....that's what he calls it anyways but you choose between working with fun stuff or coming home to a cranky baby and a worn out wife, what would you do? According to him I'm just spoiled and don't appreciate anything. I work pretty damn hard for someone who's spoiled.

Anyways, guess who's crying again.....



By the way: I bought a beautiful bikini top and didn't try it on, irritating! It's way too big in the bust area. Don't know how that could be but I'm going to try and buy another one. Anyone need a 95D? it's a really pretty striped one in bright colors.

Ego

Tonight Fredrik has told me 3 times in one hour how pretty I look. If I can just get my thumb out of my rear side I'll show you why, maybe tomorrow.


Fredrik is away buying junk food for me and the boys, a little late night treat. They are all still awake accept for Noah and we decided to have a little party.

Andrew and his team won there soccer game tonight 3-2! Go boys! I really enjoy going to the games but it's nerve wracking!!!

Tävling!

Help me please! It's a competition for a free trip somewhere. Klick on it (even if you don't speak swedish because I still get points) and you others, join the game too!!
Click here!

So much to do,

and so little time.
I have about a million and one things on my "To Do" list. Clean is really the first and most important thing, the dust is taking over! It's such a beautiful day and that gives a split reaktion, I see the dust and dirt more but I'd love to sit outside in the swing.
My new glasses are ready and I'm going to call my irritaded husband to see if we are picking them up. He's such a grizzly bear in the mornings now a days so Noah and I hide out in the bedroom until he goes to work.

I would suggest a vacation but that meany is going to Italy soon "for work" and he's had a load of trips since Noah was born and been able to sleep all night. It will always be more sad for me, I can turn it in any situation. I have not slept a full night in about 9-10 months. See how easy that was!?!

I'm even really starting to wonder what the heck I'm doing, have you people seen my fat ass lately?? I am definately the type of person who feels "Blame yourself" nobody makes me eat all the crap I eat. I really need to get working on this.


And then we have all the end of school happenings to get thru. Gabriel has his "Summer party" on Thursday and then tomorrow it's Andrew's soccer game that I like to go to. Soon it's all three quitting daycare/school. Good thing about time moving so fast is that soon it's summer vacation! No times to watch and only soccer games to go to.

Few new things on the Noah front: He's so funny, he's starting to realize that everybody else is dangerous. He has a new cry(scream) if he's a little tired and anybody else talks to him. He even acts shy for Fredrik and his brothers if he's in that mood. Mommy, always mommy, is best!


Mothers Day was really nice! More about that soon, need to download my pics so you can see my really cool presents!

And that was my 5 minutes of fame, Noah is awake!

Coma

I am the mother of 4 boys(in case you didn't know). Mothers of daughters usually work up to teenage shopping, they start young and keep fit. Well let me tell you, I got my first debut with a 16 yr old looking for her 9th grade prom dress! I'm too tired to write about it so I'll be back. I need to recuperate first.

Need some help

Anna has this beautiful dress for sale since it was too big for her and offered me to buy it before she sends it back. Those of my friends who know me and my chubby arms, what do you think? Can I wear this wonderful creation nicely or am I just dreaming? Be honest!

Finally!

Woohooo, it's finally ordered! 4X8 luscious meters with the roman stairs.

We'll probably do stone around it and a dark wood deck at the one end.

Then you have 4X8 not so luscious meters of me in a bikini wading!

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful
