Dinner with friends

Last night Camilla, Robin and Eira came to our apartment in Sundbyberg for dinner. We have tried to meet up a couple of times and finally they could make it. They had a baby girl 6 weeks ago and I was so looking forward to meeting her and catching up with her parents :) She was so nice and sleeping a lot except for when it was time for some food ;) F and I got to hold her, I can't believe we're gonna have one of our own soon.. only 3 weeks left now. Thanks Camilla, Robin and Eira for coming by, we had a lovely evening! And best of luck today Robin :)

I've just had some breakfast and soon enough we're gonna get ready to go to a birthday party. Sam turned 2 years old the other day and he wants us to come and celebrate him today. We also get to meet his little brother Teo who is now 4 weeks old :) Later on we're calling over to Maria and Marcus for dinner, really looking forward to that as well! Hope you'll all have a nice weekend :)

Missoni Lindex

Yesterday at midnight the Missoni collection for Lindex was released. I had seen a few nice things but didn't feel that I HAD TO buy anything. Went to bed the normal time last night and decided to check the website this morning to see if there was anything left. Almost everything was sold out, but I found a dress that I bought for the little one ;)

Tonight myself and F went to the hospital in Danderyd for an information session that BB Stockholm had organized for us. We have chosen BB Stockholm as our first choice where I want to give birth and I must say that the session was really good and the midwife that held the session gave a really nice impression. Can't believe it's only three and a half weeks now until I'm due...

Hampton Williams (The Exorcist) - SYTYCD Season 9 (Dallas Auditions)

This guy from the last season of So you think you can dance is so bloody good at what he does. A true artist!

Bed throw

Last weekend myself and F bought a new bed throw, I've wanted one for quite a while and I like the marine style a lot. Finally I found a nice throw when I was browsing the homepage of Mio and F liked it too, so we bought it as well as a pillow to go with it. We needed to get a throw for the bed since the photographer came to take photos of the apartment that are now posted on Hemnet by the way. I'm so hoping that F will get what he wants for his apartment and/or a little bit more. Fingers crossed and it will go well next weekend when the possible buyers are coming to view it.

We need to get a few more pillows to throw on the bed, they have nice ones in Mio but they have not reached the stores yet so we'll have to wait for another while. There are loads of things we want to buy for the house, but we'll just have to get it bit by bit. Can't wait to decorate the house when we have moved in but I know it will take time, especially since we'll have a baby to take care of as well ;)

Hamilton 2

Tonight F and I are going to the cinema to see Hamilton 2 - Men inte om det gäller din dotter. We haven't been to the cinema for a long time and though it'd be a good idea to go before we have a little baby to take care of ;)

Today we've been travelling around to different shops looking at things to buy for our house. There are so many nice things out there, but we'll have to wait and see what we need and what to buy in which order. We're gonna buy a new sofa anyway and we have found one that we really like in Mio. It has to be big so that a lot of people can sit in it together. Hopefully we'll have a lot of family and friends visiting us in our new house :)

We also picked up a new mattress for our bed that we had ordered from Kungssängen. We have two single mattresses now but wanted a bigger one in size 180 * 200 cm. I hope it'll be nice to sleep on but I think so ;)

Our new home

As you know, F and I bought a house a week and a half ago and we're very excited about it. We thought it would take quite a long time to find something we'd both like, but after two weekends of house viewings we found a house where we both felt that this is a future home. We actually took part in the bidding for another house in the same street first, but we never got it. We loved the area in Skarpäng, Täby so much and realized that there was another similar house that had been up for sale for quite some time. The seller hadn't got it sold the first time around so we thought perhaps we could get a good deal. F rang the estate agent and organized a pre-viewing of the house. It was what we thought it'd be like and we even liked the layout better than the layout in the other house. After a bit of consideration we put a bid on it. The seller didn't accept that bid but we only had to give a tiny bit more in order to seal the deal. Happy days!

The bathrooms are in good condition but we're probably gonna fix most surfaces like paint the walls, paint the ceilings, put up wallpaper and put in new floors. We're also gonna build a new kitchen in time but I guess it won't be until the summer. There are three floors and we're gonna try to fix all three bedrooms upstairs before we move in. We get the keys on the 30th of November and I can't wait. It will be a great home for our little family :)

On Thursday we've organized for a house inspection, the seller has already had that done but we want to do our own as well to be on the safe side. Fingers crossed it'll go well. Below you can see some "before pictures" of the house.

6 weeks to go

What a great weekend we've had, no plans and no pressure. Except for a trip to Mio, I've done absolutely nothing but chill out at home and I needed it. Today myself and my baby have cleaned up to make the apartment ready for the photo session tomorrow morning. I hope the photos will turn out really nice.

We've also taken some photographs of my belly and our little miracle today. We first thought about booking a professional photographer but then we thought we'd try out taking some pictures at home. There are only 6 weeks to go now and 4 weeks left in work. I'm getting both nervous and excited about giving birth, it's scary but at the same time I'm trying to convince myself that I'm strong and that I can do it. I'm dying to meet our little girl now, I can't stop wondering what she'll be like. She's very welcome to our family anyway, but I'm not ready yet so she'll have to be calm and stay inside for another little while ;)

Mango favourites

Below you can find three of my favorites from Mango right now, I get serious cravings!

Today is Saturday but I woke up early as I tend to do all the time now. We don't have any plans for the weekend other than that we have to clean up the apartment. A photographer will come here on Monday to take pictures of the apartment as we now have to put it up for sale. I hope everything goes well and that F gets what he wants for it. Have a lovely Saturday everyone!

7 weeks to go

So, I've come to the end of week 33 and that means I've only 7 weeks to go - 7 weeks!! I've been feeling fine the whole time but lately I'm getting heavier (even though everybody says I'm so neat) and I don't have as much energy as I used to. I get tired very easily, physically I mean, so it's important to rest when I get the time. Unfortunately there has been a lot going on lately (good things though :)) but I'm hoping that it'll all calm down very soon. Thank God I have my yoga on Mondays, I love going to these sessions and we're going through a lot of different relaxation techniques and poses. It calms your body and mind and I feel like a new person every time I'm walking out of there.
