Life's good!
The sun's shining, powerwalk one out of my daily two's been completed and the next will follow in an hour, crow's been sleeping for almost 3h and just woke up to eat so now she's all happy during diaper change with papi, wasome food's on the menu for tonight (filét of lamb w oven roasted potatoes and garlic butter). As said, life's good!
Midsummer's here I come!
Last year we had a frikkin big ass party at our house on midsummers, holy crap is all I have to say about that. Anyone remember 3 hours of Singstar and gnomes living under a rock drinking vodka? And we lost a person, in our house, we couldn't find him, everyone was looking but we really couldn't find him, with everyone I mean like 12 peeps, we finally found him, he was sleeping....
This year is way different. What we're gonna do? We're going out to beau's grandparents who lives by the ocean, woohoo! And by the look of the weather forecast it's actually NOT going to rain today, and the temperature's going up. Me and the crow's been awake since like 4.30am, but who the heck cares, it's midsummers!
Of course she fell asleep about right away when I decided not to try to stay in bed any longer, so now I've been sitting here in the couch by meeself for about an hour watching the news, but it's ok, it's all good, it's midsummers!
Btw, she's growing like 1cm/week, crazy stuff. I'm guessing she's gonna be about my height around christmas!
DINALI CENTER TILL GÄVLE I JULI!
Gävle, är ni redo? Ni har väntat, ni har längtat, ni har frågat; “När kommer Dinali Center till Gävle?”. Äntligen har jag svaret på den frågan. Dinali Center öppnar nämligen i Gävle i JULI!
Vi har två fina, mycket centrala lokaler att välja och vraka mellan och kommer under nästa vecka att ta ett beslut om vilken som passar oss bäst. Lokalerna ligger nära varandra och på ca 5 minuters gångavstånd från Stortorget vilket gör dom lättillgängliga för de flesta Gävlebor. Det som också är toppen är att båda lokalerna ligger på endast 5 min gångavstånd från Gävle Centralstation. Det gör att även ni från Uppsala, Sandviken, Hofors och Falun har bra och enkla möjligheter att med tåg eller buss ta er till Gävle för att delta i Dinalis efterlängtade klasser!
Ordinarie pole dance termin kommer att köra igång i början av augusti men schemat är ännu inte spikat. Redan nu kan du dock skriva upp dig för intensivkursen som kommer att hållas under juli (/början av augusti). På det sättet slipper du vänta ända tills augusti med att köra igång din träning. Vad väntar du på, anmäl dig redan idag!
Vi har även bokat in två stycken prova på-klasser där ni har chans att testdansa under en timme!
Du kan även redan nu boka din möhippa/tjejkväll/kick-off. Ett utmärkt sätt att fira en speciell dag är med en pole dance klass hos Dinali Center!
PS: Vi släpper i dagarna även en sprillans ny hemsida, så håll ögonen öppna!
Mer info om alla klasser/kurser kommer upp på hemsidan strax www.dinalicenter.com! (kika under "Nyheter")
Two fountains!
Fountain one: Elvira's poop. This morning the fountain (and it fur sure was a fountain I tell ya...) reached all the way across her room, from the changing table to the other wall, even sprayed the closet door a bit. Now that's a good 2-2,5 meters. Should I call Guinnes?
Fountain two: Me sitting in front of the TV with the crow + mee mommy and daddy, and I was crying to the royal wedding. But lord was it not beautiful? I'm such a woss...

Wedding times 2!
In the couch is where you'll find me today, watching the royal wedding. Except for when I have to go and buy a new pyjamas for the crow (sh'es outgrown her first one...). And on top of it all I found out that I'll be going to a wedding in january -10, oooooh me like!
You go girl!
The Swedish princess (queen-to-be) has decided that she wants her daddy to bring her to the altar when she gets married tomorrow and a lot of people seem to think its a very bad idea. They say it's a very backstriveing mentality to have her dad "give her away" to another man, the feminists are roaring.
I say; you go girl. if you want your daddy to bring you to the altar, you have him do that. It's your own decision, no one's forcing you to have your daddy there. I think it's a very nice gesture and it has got nothing to do with outdated way of thinking. More power to you!

Säng till salu!
Momma's crow's getting bigger!
4115 grams and 54,5 cm, that's how big she's right now. Above average apparently. I think sh'es gonna be a tall one...
Pleeeeease don't grow!
We're off to a visit at the doctors office with the crow today, the first visit since her birth. She's gonna be measured and weighed to see how she's grown. Omg I don't want her to grow, I want her to stay teeny tiny forever. She has already almost outgrown her smallest clothes, and she's only 3,5 weeks old. She's starting to get some yummy baby fat around her chin and thighs, soooo cute. I want her to stay this size forever. She can learn how to sleep for a full night, thats ok with me. But I really don't want her to get any bigger. I almost start crying when I think of how small she was three weeks ago.
Yesterday she took a bath again, and for the first time she didn't scream bloody murder when we put her down in the water, she actually seemed to like it. The other times she's been crying and crying during bath time and mommys heart breaks into a thousand pieces when I see her eyes tear up. Really, it feels like Im the worst mom ever when she cries.
My little crow, please don't grow!
They just keep on coming...
The favours that is. Well, one isn't actually a favour, love's taking the night shift again which means that if I go to bed right now Im gonna get to sleep all until about 4am, me like. Then mee mother in law's coming to take the troll for a long walk tomorrow, and that makes me and beau able to just relax for a couple of hours, me like as well!
Screw the soccer world cup!
In Ljusne we have our own championship, battles to be foght every day. The scores right now:
Diana vs. Poop: 0-2 (been sprayed twice so far)
The action never ends...
There he goes again...
As stated before, mi marido es el mejor de todos! It's 9:30pm and I'm gonna get to go to sleep, he's gonna take care of the crow and feed her + put her to bed for the night. Im gonna get to sleep, Im loving him! Gosh, he's gonna get soooooo many gifts from Santa this year!
I'm the luckiest woman alive!
Why? Becuase I have the bestest husband in the world. Thanks to him I have a gorgeous daughter, a company that's up and running even though I'm on maternity leave, I'm able to sleep in every now and then at night when he's on night duty. I'm soooooo happy he works from home, because of that we can share the taking care of the crow during the day, which means I never feel I don't have the time to take a shower or go to the bathroom (as so many people aka. moms told me I would feel). I have a bunchload of respect for single moms or moms taking care of their newborns by themselves during the whole day, major kudos to you!
But this husband-working-from-home-deal is not only great for me. Papi gets to spend way more time with his daugther than a lot of other dads. He also don't have to come home to a bitchy wife and a messy home after working for 8h (ok, house's still kinda messy and I do turn in to a bitch sometimes due to all the hormones, but I can just imagine how it would look and feel like if I were to b at home by meeself the whole day...).
I tell you, he's the best and I'm the luckiest! <3
Let there be sleep!
I slept, almost got a full nights sleep. I did wake up at around 2:30 am with a feeling something wasn't as it should = the crow was still sleeping, she'd been sleeping since 9:30pm... We woke her up but then beau took care of her and I could go back to sleep. I slept all until 6:15am when she woke up again. I wish I would've fallen asleep earlier than 1am last night, but still, I got a good 5h sleep all together, woohooo!
I let her fall back to sleep after feeding her this morning, then I sat my bumsy down in front of the morning news with a cup of tea = alone time!
6h sleep?
Tonight's the night. Love's gonna be working the night shift which means I'm gonna get to sleep for about 6h straight, hopefully, keeping my fingers crossed... Who knows, maybe I'll actually look pretty decent in the pic for fridays newspaper that we're opt for tomorrow!
The crow got to come with me to a business meeting tonight. Or actually it was more of a business dinner, not really a meeting, but still. She behaved real well, slept through the whole dinner so that mommy could actually get to eat something. She woke up during a 30 min break where I could feed her, then she was all happy for about 30 more minutes while I made sure to eat some yummy dessert. Then she got bored and cranky so we headed on home. Of course she fell asleep when I put her in her car seat, that was around 9:30pm, right now it's 12:10am and she's still asleep, snoring ("just like mommy" as beau just stated...). It's a hard knock life being a two week old vagabond!

I'm the bomb!
Or actually I have bombs, two of them, filled with yummy yum yum. And they function very well as pillows for the crow. The best place to take a 3h nap is on momma's boobies. Warm and sweaty is how we roll these days. Mommy likeses it =)
"Fever all through the night..."
Gotten meeself some flu during the weekend. Beau got it first. Yesterday my body started aching like crazy and last night I could barely walk straight when I got up to feed Elvira, beau had to be the carrier cause I would've dropped her. I almost fell over leaning forward when I went to the bathroom, gaaaahhh.
4:20am, I just put the troll back to bed after her nightly snack, I need to sleep as well, real hard when you feel like your body's about to rip into pieces when you turn in bed. Over and out...

Happy b-day to meeee!

What goes up must come down!
35 lbs gained through the whole pregnancy, 24 lbs gone and only 11 to go. Bikini season isn't looking too bad after all...
Baby pics!
A lot of you have been asking for baby pics. Beau is setting up another blog where you're gonna need a password to get in. Once in you'll be able to view pics of Elvira. We want to protect her integrity so that's why. Wont b posting any pics here in my blog or on FB, sorry!
How to loose 22lbs in one week?
For starters, pop out a 7lbs baby!
Ok, here's the story folks
So I never thought I would give birth. When we had a visit with our midwife on wednesday the 26th the babys head was still not in fixed position and I had had NO pre-labor pains at all. She gave us an appointment to go do an ultrasound on the 3rd where they might have induced labor. She said that once you get these appointments the babies more than often decide to come out before then. She also said that IF I go in to labor it will probably start right away, no pre labor pains or anything. On saturday the 29th someone said that I didn't look like I was about to pop anytime soon, made me so pissed...
Anyhoodle, on sunday we spent the whole day relaxing at home, didnt do anything special. Spent almost the whole day laying down on the couch watching Criminal Minds. And the, all of a sudden, at 7:20pm, I felt my first real labor pain. Real cool, cause I could really feel the difference from the contractions I'd had before. Both me and Jesper got really excited and he started timing. During the first hour it was 20 min between each contraction/labor pain, then 10 minutes, then five. The increased in intesity each time and when I called the hospital they told us to get ready and come in since we had quite a drive to get there. I took a shower, beau got everything ready, and off we went.
To sit in a car while being in labor pains is NOT a nice thing to do, soooo uncomfortable. I think Jesper got a bit nervous cause he was driving...let's just say faster than you should. Luckily it was after midnight and almost no cars were out on the road.
The pain kept on escalating and when we got to the hospital I was already 2-3 cm dialated. I had written in my labor letter that I didnt want any medical pain relief unless absolutely necessary. But after gettin in to a lavender bath for about an hour and the pain just kept on escalating, my midwife decided that it was best for me to get an epidural. I then was in so much pain and only 5 cm dialated. Seriousully, it hurted real bad...
I got the epidural and then spent an hour or two actually being able to breathe through the contractions instead of screaming, making me able to rest some. But then it all started over again aroun 6:30am. The pain increased and the epidural somewhat stopped working. Or actually, it did work, but just not for the sort of pain I was feeling
I then spent the next for hours in excrusiating pain. I remember screaming that I was about to die, and I know that's really how it felt. If they would have asked me if I wanted to cancel the pregnancy/labor/everything and give birth some other time, I know I would have.
I know that at some point I thought about telling them to just cut the baby out, c-section, no narcoses necessary. I just couldnt imagine being in any more pain than I was already in. My body went in to some state of chock and i started trembeling/shaking, almost having a seizure because of the pain. Jespers arms were all torn apart after I had dug my nails in to him.
I also remember being really pissed at the midwife telling me to push, wtf, didnt she udnerstand how bad it was hurting? Luckily for her I had to use all my powers not to pass out, otherwise I would have slapped her face...
The actual last hours of labor is a blur because of the pain. But at the end I used my last powers and out came toe most beautiful little baby (even though she had a real cone head at the beginning...). Once she was out, I felt no pain whatsoever.
I dont think I cried when I had her on my chest for the first time, I was all cried out after labor pains. But the feeling of having given birth to such a gorgeous human being was out of this world, no words can describe it. Its the most painful/near death experience Ive ever had, but at the same time the most wonderful one adn it was all worth it at the end.
We now spend most of the day eating, sleeping and chillin. Elvira (the name of our princess) has started to be more awake now, and I just love looking in to her eyes. I cant believe we've made her, what a trip!
She looks a lot like her daddy, but she has her mommys ears and lips. A real princess is what she is, a miracle. What a way to fall in love!
Got mail!
20 lbs gone, 15 to go. Mama just got her brand new spanx in the mailbox. Beach 2010 here I come!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
Noooo, it's our oh so longed for princess Elvira. Born on may 31st. She's precious, Im exhausted. Labor went well, but what a frikkin marathon. Will be bringing you another update in a couple of days!
