Hiya!

Wow! Went for a special massage today - it was one for pregnant woman. It was amazing  felt so relaxed and could have stayed there for hours and hours. Did a 25min session in the gym beforehand and then went for my massage - so I was taking good care of myself today.

Stefs checked in for his flight - only 14 days 14hrs til he gets here. Im honestly not counting or anything!!

Went to the baby shop today to look at changing tables. We have one already which we used for Thomas and Fiona, and we wanted a new top for it but cause its so old they dont make them in that size anymore. Its a great one coz its got  a small bath and 2 large storage drawers. Dont know what we're going to do. But we did get the mattress for the crib ordered and that arrives next week. Slowly getting everything sorted.

The more I think about whats going to happen in 38days time the more panicked I get. Cant believe Im going to be a mum and have this little baby. Its mine - I dont get to hand it back at the end of the day. Once Stef gets here I can talk all my worries through with him. Although his answer will be - itll be fine dont worry. God I miss him!

Should pop off!

Love to all!

Hello!

Not got much to say - its been a quiet few days. Been looking at some new bedding for the new bed and found some really pretty ones at Next and its great cause they send to Sweden now.

Cant wait for Stefan to come! Only 18 days now. Fingers crossed baby doesnt come before then, and that we get a chance to see the midwife together before baby arrives! Need to pack my hospital bag in the next week, just in case.

Over here they've put a ban on people visiting newborns in the hospital. Here, after you've had the baby you get moved to a ward called the BB which takes care of you and makes sure everythings going good. If you're lucky then the dads can stay in the BB with the mums and babies. But now because of the swineflu they're really scared it will get into the BB and affect the newborns, so its only the dads that are allowed in. Ive alreasy said apart from family I dont want any visitors in hospital and for at least the 1st week we're home no visitors. I want time for me and Stefan to relax and adjust to being parents and not have to worry too much bout people coming round. Anyone who even thinks they've got a bug -swineflu or not , wont be allowed round. Im sure I sound like a really horrible person, but I do have to think whats best for me and baby.

Got time to think about it!

Hope everyones ok!

Hey ho!

So I did go to the drs today and it was a wee bit scary. The dr took me into her office and I told her how i was feeling and she listeneed to my heart and lungs and took my blood pressure and said that it was all ok. But, then she said she wanted to do an EKG on me. Whenever you see them in tv shows its for something serious, so I was a wee bit scared. She took me into another room and told me to wait for the nurse. Anyway, they attached all the electrodes and monitered my heart and then said that everything was okay and it was just a cold.  At least now I know that everythings okay and I can relax.

Went to the gym and worked out with Lotta, although I did take it easy. Booked in for a pregnancy massage treatment next week which'll feel great!!! May as well do it now coz there'll be no time once little one arrives.

Still feeling tired no matter how much I sleep. I know its because babys getting heavy and my bodys working harder. Im still taking my iron/vitamin tablets just to be safe and healthy. Im better getting all the sleep I need now cause thatll soon change. My body obvisouly needs the extra sleep!

Gonna get off now - babbled enough for today!

Love to all
