... and a lot has happened. I've gone through a difficult pregnancy and a difficult labour but now Maya has got a little sister that was born on Friday the 13th 00:48am. Her name is Nikki Faith and she is the luckiest little girl. I was due on the 9th but she was too comfortable and stayed in my belly for a wee bit longer. On Thursday the 12th my waters broke and we went into the hospital. After 13 hours of labour pains I was 10 cm open and in a lot of pain. Nikkis heart rate went down. The doctor came in to my room and decided they couldn't wait any longer. I was in so much pain that I didn't grasp everything that was happening. My husband wrote about it so I'm going to let you read about it in his own words: "On the 11th of July 2007 Sara and i went into hospital in Eskilstuna, Sweden. We thought that this was going to be a trouble free birth for our 2nd daughter, how wrong we were. Arriving at hospital just before noon we checked in and Sara was then given the usual ...

This morning I had a lay-in. I didn't even know I was asleep until I woke up. I dreamt I was an assassin, I was gonna kill the person that put that spot light in my face.. Only it was my one and a half year old daughter and I am not an assassin. When I realized I was awake I could smell coffee and French toast. I got up and walked into the kitchen to find my fiance and my daughter dressed, eating breakfast, ready for a new day of adventure. I got to sit down, my coffee was poured and an eggy bread with cheese and ketchup was put in front of me just to be eaten. I thought I was still dreaming! It has been a wonderful morning so far, I hope you're having a wonderful morning too!

December 8 - 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! December 9 We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life! December 12 The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a ...

I will admit that I haven't had any inspiration to write my blog regularly... I found out 6 weeks ago that we are expecting a sibling for Maya which is great news, but I am so tired all the time. I work full time and in January I start as Assistant Bank Manager which is going to be a challange but I am looking forward to it. I have decided to stop work a month early this time so I get some time off getting organised before the new baby comes along, not like with Maya where I stopped work the 17th and she was born the 20th! However, I am having a hard time at the branch where I am now where not everyone is happy with me getting this position so soon. Luckily I am changing branches but it is still hard going and as I am so early on in my pregnancy (week 10 now) I haven't really told anyone I am pregnant. I am concidering getting a sick leave from my doctor until I start at my new branch to stop everyone from getting to me... I have to put myself first and be fit to fill this position ...1151 days ago
Wednesday we flew out with Ryan Air to Glasgow and Josephs Mum picked us up at the airport. Of curse she was excited to see us again and we didn't get to bed until late.. so late that you can actually call it early! In the morning we got ready and went over to Josephs' sister Fathoms' house. It was great to see her and her two girls, Josi 2¹/2 and Jaimi 1¹/2. As we didn't get our camera back before we left I don't have any photos... On Friday my friend Lynn took us shopping in East Kilbride, sadly I didn't really find ANYTHING for myself and I was quite upset as I had promised myself a treat. (I treated myself today instead, ordering clothes from H&M online...) On Saturday morning we went to see Josephs Gran and had a quick look around Glasgow town center. In the afternoon we got to see other friends of the family so we had three busy but nice days. Now I can't wait for people to come and visit us! I am so proud of our place and of Sweden and I ...
