+ 23 weeks

Well, I never was a very good diary keeper...a little while since my last entry. Lucky I have very few and understanding followers.
I am now 23 weeks and a few days and I am stoked I have made it past the dreadful 22 weeks mark. Next milestone 25 weeks. I had my morphology scan and found out the little miracle who will not let me sleep for the next 2 years is another little boy. Josh is beginning to look at me funny when I say his little brother is in my stomach and he says he has a baby in the belly too. Bless him and lets hope that isnt true...:)

I am back at work now as well which I really enjoy actually it gives me a break from toilet training, waterplay and fish feeding which is what Josh is totally absorbed in at the moment. I do look forward to work where I can have some adult conversations. Also it is great for the poor old bankaccount which took some serious beating when I had to be off.

The other great thing is that teh course has started up for the year and this year is all about surrender and I do believe I have sort of arrived to the right spot at the right time. Funny how that always seems to be the case huh? We are no longer in Coolum but have moved to Junjarina which is in Wynnum so it makes it possible for me to travel home each night which was actually ok. I was a little worried that I would find it hard to share my space after the events at the course but so far it has been ok. I am loving it, makes me feel connected and "plugged in" which is a great feeling. The healings we were taught were amazing so am looking forward to do some serious practising. Where are you willing clients and guineapigs?

Attached is some photos of Josh from our week, enjoy!

Love and light to you all!

Tsunami warning

Josh dancing

How wonderful it is to wake up and just feel good, no nausea at all not even in the background of my consciousness. It is glorious, I am truly enjoying feeling well and being able to spend my days with Joshua and my friends. I will go back to work on the 14th of March and I am not really looking forward to that as much...to be honest I feel a little rusty and as per usual that is a little nervwracking in my profession. But I normally feel that way after coming back from a longer time period off work, so I managed before why not now?

This week I have been able to catch up with my beautiful friend Ceri twice since yesterday we spent the day together with some good friends on Cookies father in laws massive boat. It is massive and so nice, three levels and downstairs there is 3 bedrooms all ensuited! I wish I had one ensuite...:) It was a great day although it was raining pretty much the whole time. Josh and Jeremy went into the water though, much to Josh's delight. We drove home last night and woke up this morning to the news of a tsunami warning for the whole east coast of Australia. (now that is a very big area) They warn to not go to the beach today: ok we will not. However we have a big fat rock of an island sitting outside Redcliffe that would dampen the effect should indeed a monstrous wave make it here.

I will post a few images of Josh from this week, one where he is trying to give Mormor a kiss when he saw her picture on her facebook page. Bless him!

Love and light to you all!

Week 17

Hip hip hooray! I am now pretty sure that I am completely over the morning sickness altogether and thanks to my Holiday in Sweden where it was totally bareable I feel that I probably coped better this time around than any of my previous pregnancies. I have also purchased some new baby items, a playgym and a baby bouncer... I still have them in their boxes because I am still a little scared about being too excited and "safe". I know it is a long road ahead until I actually hold a healthy baby in my arms but I feel good and happy about life in general now and am enjyoing myself and my time with Josh. He is such a boy now no baby left in him at all and he has lengthy conversations about his world to me it is just so cool. I love watching him becoming his own little person. I love being a mother!

Anyway speaking of the devils he is coming through the door now after his "date" with Grandad so speak to you all later!

Love and Light to all

Another day in my life

I was able to be outside for more than just a few minutes today! Must mean that the morning sickness truly is subsiding, thank you, thank you is all I can say.

Josh and I went down to the lagoon for a swim this morning and a play on the slides but of course my little monster is more interested in the food we bring so was nagging me for morning tea from the minute we got there...phew! He got into the water though and had some fun with putting leaves into the stream and watching them float away. It was so hot at least 33 degrees and the sun is truly burning but there is some shaded areas so I managed ok.
Grandad is coming to pick up Josh for an outing this afternoon with icecream down in Scarborough...guess if someone small is happy about that...!!
I will try to add a few pictures of Josh at daycare for you all to share not sure if I am able to though but they are from yesterday, (thurs).

I also received an email from my friend Liza who had found some old pics of our dog Frankie as a puppy and wow I had completely forgotten how cute she was, totally adorable. It was good to get these pics since I nowadays mainly yell at her for digging up my lawn....we have this war her and me where she digs a hole, I fill it up and try to come up with ways of making sure she no longer will be able to dig there. Once that I have achieved that she finds another spot and on it goes....drives me mad. So anyway I will include these pics as well if I am able to.

Love and light to all.

Swedish or english???

Hmmm

I am wondering in what language to write somehow english "flows" better for me nowadays. I guess it is the language I most frequently use and also a lot of my learning of late has been taught in english so I dont know the proper Swedish translation for most of it. However I feel more Swedish than ever and have a real longing for my beautiful mother country of the north, so Swedish is close to heart and always in most excercises that we do at the course I cant quite get to the core of the matter before I start to access the Swedish part of my self so....

Here it goes I will write in whatever language that comes to me on that specific day, how is that?

I have just left Josh at daycare and have a precious moment to myself so will use it wisely, updating my "diary". Chores are done and I am heading out to North Lakes to look for a valentines gift for my wonderful husband and also a birthday gift for my beautiful friend A-M.

I could not believe it but I really ought to have a little more faith in universe after all this work I do but...the other week I was feeling really off colour (nothing unusual for me at these times) and felt low. Ring ring telephone rings and it is Michael, a dear friend who we see too little of. A-M birthday is coming up and he wants to give her a "surprise" by flying us down to Adelaide for a weekend with them. I could not believe it I got so happy. I haven't seen A-M for a long time and she is so truly special and to be able to visit her in her house and on her birthday..ah it is just bliss. I was in tears after I hung up with Michael I had been heard by someone and there is, really is so much joy and bliss in this world, so thank you Michael for making my day a wonderful moment I will not forget.

Anyway must be on my way because I have another date with Julie at North Lakes...that is twice in a week I get to spend time with her how special that does not happen often..

Puss o Kram

Ah here I am

I am a woman, a mother, a wife and a soul on her journey through life. I work with people and for people as an RN in an ICU at a smaller hospital in QLD Australia. I am originally from Sweden where I still feel my roots are deeply seeded in the old country of the north.

I intend to treat this as my diary since I no longer do write a diary we'll see how I go.

So, here I go what is present for me today?

Well, there has been some frustrations today...I am pondering on punctuality and what time really means for people, my time and your time and where we actually meet. That was a tad muddy but the thing was this:
We are having aircon installed today the lady at the office said the installer will be there at 9.30 - 10 am. Ok I thought arranged a babysitter for my 2.6 years old for then so he was not going to be too much "in the way" for them. Beautiful Grandma who is always there for us came and picked Josh up at around 9am. I went to lie down thinking I would definetaly wake up when the tradies arrived. Well, I say, I woke up at noon!!! (did I say I am 15 weeks pregnant so therefor prone to being tired at the moment) I called the office lady and she said that they were having some sort of emergency at a school and had to be there before coming to me. Ok fair enough but what about giving me, the customer who is paying them for this, the heads up? Appearantly in aircon world 2-3 hours here or there means little but my babysitter do have another life....
Anyway she said they were on their way and would be there within the hour. Well at 1.30 pm so an hour and a half after she said they were on their way they showed up!

So I have had Grandma being babysitter all morning and half afternoon as well, I cannot leave the house (mind I have terrible morning sickness and this is kind of normal for me anyway but they dont know that...) I just hope they do a good job, the aircon works and that the electrical guy will get here at some point without me having to be investigationg into the matter.

SO hence my philosophing about the meaning of time.

Til next time!
Take care and love and light to you all.
