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..
