so the final day of freedom is here :(
Monday I'm back at work, and I hope beyond hope that everything will work out without a hinge. Then again, I keep hoping I'll win some big lottery too, though I never buy any tickets...
So far this day have been spent in PJ's, and it's already half past three in the afternoon. I need to get dressed soon though, since I need to go hunt for food, and though I might toy with the thought of doing it, I don't really feel for going to the big store in my gray/pink checkered pants and the (slime)green t-shirt saying "I don't do mornings... or Mondays" and also sports a sleepy, very sleepy rat...
Went shopping to Norrtälje with D's mom, aunt and grandma yesterday. 'Nuf said!
Came home with a bed-set for the crib, with baby-Tigger and baby-Pooh playing by a water puddle. Adorable!
Have to go to mom's place and check out the crib sometime soon, it might need a new layer of paint or something, the last one to use it was the sissy princess and that's 8 years ago.

98 days to go...
I'm down to a two-digit amount of days left until estimated time of pup-arrival. It feels surreal!
Sorry for being a posting-bum but the internet is still in the living room, and me and the mini isn't cuite friends just yet. Not as far as writing goes at least...

the last week
my last week of freedom. Next Monday work starts again. Can't say I look forward to it, since the boss is completely oblivious to the fact that I'm 6 months pregnant and won't be able to bend and lift stuff likee before, and still, it's only me and the one who doesn't/can't lift stuff because of a bad back. He also saw no need to switch her for someone else, it would be unfair to the others??? WTF??? He mumbled how all places had heavy parts. Yeah, but we're the only ones with lifts, and "bend over work", she could very well work in places that are heavy on the shoulders since she don't have a problem there.
Well, I'll see how it goes. Next Tuesday I have a nuses appointment before work, and if Monday have been too heavy, and the boss still ignores me, I'll have her write me as sick. seriously, I informed him there would be an issue with this last week, he have had 1½ week to fix it. And since he was so lame about it, like, not caring, I will not put in that extra effort that I might have if there had been some sort of support from his side. Because I acctually like my work, and I like to work. I just refuse to work this unaprechiated. he completely disregarded my opinion on who should do my work, just dismissing my complaints because he doesn't wanna deal with them. *SIGH*

first baby clothes bought
Last Tuesday I went to Stockholm with mom, hunting for some mama-clothes. Didn't find that much, but enough. Two skirts, a pair of jeans (not good looking, but beggars can't be choosers) and then two non-mama tank-tops. I found some books about the delivery, since I don't feel to secure with my nurse here, and then some shampoo that you can't buy here.
Mom did the days first shopping though. She fell for a teeny-tiny white wrap-around body in a old style store. It was a room with a counter, and the walls covered in boxes over which the clothes hung. If you wanted to see something, you had to ask for it and they would get it from the behind room. She's been really good though, it's her first buy for the grandchild, and I agree with her that the quality was amazing.
I fell at NK. In the baby department, right next to the Armani clothes (seriously 599kr, 60€, for a body in infant size???) hung Lundmyr of Sweden garments at half-price, this one got to follow me home. It's only size 50, so it will probably fit the first week or something, but I don't care. The text means, roughly translated, "cutie-pie" and at least the Swedish expression works for both boys and girls. I refuse beige just 'cos it's gender neutral... It's not neutral, it's downright boring!

update...
I admit, I've been really bad at updating lately. Partly because I'm lazy, but mostly 'cos D moved our internet to the living room (and I'm not sure where to plug in the cable at the stationary, ugh) and that gives me the EeePC to surf on. I don't know why, but writing on this thing is an adventure, for many reasons:
OK, whining session over ;)
The other Saturday was our Wedding-PARTY! and I've finally got some pictures to show you. I'll just post a few here, go to facebook to see more. I'm really happy about the pictures (though I do look like a heffalump in most of them) since at least it doesn't show how sick and miserable I felt the whole evening.
First out a bit of a video of D's mom and aunt singing "Still the one" (originally by Shania Twain), unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to catch the whole performance, but still, I think they are great! They also sang this in the chapel at the wedding ceremony, and I had so hard to keep from crying. This is so our song, people were always saying how me and D would never make it and so on. Well, to all those: HA!
Yesterday was my sisters birthday party, she turned 40 a few days ago. Here's a picture of her, me and my mom. For those of you who don't know, me and sis have different mom's.
I don't know if you wanna see this, but I think this here bump-pic is pretty sweet. Yes, I'm nude. No, D wasn't home. I had just got out of the shower and took the pic myself. I don't usually have this pretty a bump, but I was having a light contraction, which by the way made pup ball up on the right side of my tummy. It looks so freaky when shim does that!
- the keyboard is so darn small, I keep missing the keys
- I have trouble finding comfy writing positions and still see the screen, pup is in the way
- for some reason that is totally beyond me, the freaking 'puter marks text on it's own (which causes it to disappear when I type the next letter), or all of a sudden "un-clicks" the field I'm writing in, or moves my marker so that I write 2 or 5 or 10 lines up...

movie night
Since D is going back to work tomorrow, we've spent the night chillin' in the living room, one laptop each, internet hooked up, watching movies.
1. Death Race
This one was so bad it was good XD seriously, it was hilarious! Totally predictable, but still so much fun watching. Everything was so much too much that it was totally worth renting.
2. Jumper
OK, not great, but not a waste of money either.
3. Summer Catch
Baseball movie airing on TV, it's a good enough ending the night movie.
Tomorrow I have some birthday gift deliveries to do, by bicycle if the weather allows it, and then nothing. Thursday I'll test my glucose value... I've heard it's disgusting to do that...

the party...
Everyone of the guests seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the party, which is great praise! Top scores for food, location and entertainment. Though only one point of entertainment was planned by us, the quiz, it all worked perfectly together!
I, unfortunately, had a tummy-ache and didn't dare to eat anything but un-sweetened blueberry soup and an orange. I also forgot to bring the cameras, so I rely on the mercy of others to have some memorabilia of this night.
And today my tummy's been trouble again. Aren't you supposed to be constopated when pregnant? Seriously, my body seems to have misinterpreted the manual...
But I thought I should load the latest belly picture I took. It's starting to show now.
View from "up top", I actually am pouting a bit, otherwise it was impossible to make out what it was, and I'm bending my knees a little, but still, this is what I see when I look down
Week 24. (23+4) pup prefers sleeping on the right side of my tummy. At the party it was visible through my tunic how there was a bulge at one side, and not the other. The other side is soft and so, the pup-side hard, so you can feel shim lying there. I know shim's sleeping since poking while in this possition gives absolutely NO response whatsoever. Not that my pup is anything but a slow-poke the rest of the time either, but...So, I figured pup made that part of my belly shim's bedroom....

in the middle of the night
I'm awake!
Seriously, I'm not even tired. I was a few hours ago, when we were cleaning, but not now... I got my groove back! YAY! Too bad I can't use it, I need to go to bed, since tomorrow night I'm going to meet up with Maria, and that means traveling in the middle of the night.
Still, I love being able to stay awake this late!
Was in pup-appointment earlier today (sorry, yesterday) and all was well. I had only gained 1 kilo, my blood-pressure was still low (105/75) and pup's heart was beating at 140 beats/minute. Someone also thought it very fun to kick the doppler... the nurse thought it was hiccups, but it was kicks. I told you guys, that kid have so inherited my sense of aim, only got one hit...
My tummy is bigger than "the curve", but I'm actually spot on "my curve", so that was good.
As I said earlier, we cleaned some last night. Like the kitchen (all except the sink) is now completely presentable. I was in charge of hallway and living room. Both are half-done. But I also was a bit in the computer room (it tied into living room) and then I made Maria's bed, so I don't have to worry about that any more. There is nothing much left to do, a garbage bag of clothes going to welfare, change the curtains from x-mas to something, anything else *ashamed*, and then of course some shopping for the party and then go out to the location and start setting things up. With me going away half of Friday, we want as much done tomorrow as possible.
At last moment, about half past 8 last night, D comes home and tells me he forgot to invite one of the guys from the bachelor party... I who was finally done with the seating... Well, no. There will be free seating withing limited sections. aka relatives sit on one side of the table, friends on the other. That means they have to mix =) But now we end up with uneven numbers. And there might be two toddlers. And I end up having ordered exact the amount needed of table cloths. And lucky D ordered too much food, 'cos one guy asked Tuesday if he could bring a girl...

How do you do your freaking job so poorly that you loose the reservation for a wedding party?
I just wanna strangle someone! Didn't need this 5 days before the party!

Vacation =D
My summer vacation is ON!!! 4 weeks of nothing work-related to do, what so ever! Well, I guess I'll need to go there in a few weeks, to check out how to manage the new sorting system before TH goes on his vacation, 'cos S won't have a clue, and will refuse to do it...
So now I've got a week of party-planning coming up, and then I'll finally be totally free to sunbathe and enjoy my pup trying to kick me in the ribs. Still to small to reach there, and I'm very smug when I tell shim so ^_^
I survived crazy week!!! GO ME!!! GO PUP!!!
I spent most of yesterday in bed, trying to sleep but mostly just rolled up, having nothing better to do. Very relaxing, I was so content I didn't even consider bringing a book, which is really something coming from me.
That might have something to do with the fact that I just finished New Moon though, and have decided I'm not allowed to begin Eclipse until I go to meed Maria.

crazy week almost over
I played with the thought of taking a picture of me when I got off work today, just to show you guys how tired I am, but decided not to. The camera wasn't in the line from the front door to the bed...
When I woke up an hour later (mom called) the migraine had gotten worse. That meant contacts out, painkillers in (just the crappy ones, but still) and back to bed. Eased some, but I've been cranky all night.
Now I'm off to bed for roughly 4,5 hours of sleep before work. Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and the pup is kicking. Shim just took an aim at my ribs while boring shims head down my bladder. Good thing that little half-breed ain't big enough to actually reach my ribs yet.
Tomorrow is my LAST DAY OF WORK before my summer vacation begins. Four weeks of relaxing *coughandthrowingaweddingpartycough*
