I mitt eget paradis

Today was a buzy day. First a visit with a dear neighbour for breakfast. After that me and Baby E rushed to the midwife for the 5 month shot. Gosh! Baby E is almost 5 month! Already! What time fly by. Soon he will be a slender teenager.

Baby E:s grandparents was here for a short while to say hi and leave a baby bottle that we forgot at their place. They droved me to pick up a package at the post office that came from Slovenija. As it is friends of my SO I thought it was some stuff for the computer. But could I be more wrong? Just look at what was in the package!































Who got nr 10? Valter Birsa!



Thanks for the lovley gifts dear friends! *smooches*

I have a cold. Couching and sneezing. It i not fun. We was at home today and just relaxed.

Tomorrow Baby E is going to get his second shot of vaccination. He is NOT going to like that! After that Im thinking of going to open preschool and make footprints on tshirts, but Im not sure, that depends on how bad my cold is. I dont want the babies to catch the infection!

What are you going to do on New Years Eve? Any plans? Im planning a 3 course dinner. What Im going to cook? You will see that later!

So. Any New years promises? I have to think about that. I usually never have any promises.

Have a nice night and dont let the bedbugs bite!

Today I want to have a massage, I want to have pedicure and manicure. But do I get that? Noo I dont. But as soon as we get to Thailand (in 10 days) Im gonna have that!

Me and Baby E is going to "open preschool" today and do more plaster prints. The grandmothers wants more of them.

Oh we bought a "new" pram yesterday. Its a travel pram. Its used but in good shape.

Well I have to run now. See you later!

Did you have a nice Christmas Eve? We had a very nice day and evening. In Sweden we get all the presents on Christmas Eve. We was several persons that celebrated Christmas Eve togheter. There were the grandparets, old grandmother, J:s brother, wife and daughter, J:s sister and her son and of course me, J and Baby E. (the cats stayed at home).
It is Baby E:s first christmas (he is 4 ½ month) but I doubt that he understand and cares about christmas. He got lots of presents that I think is very useful. Clothes, toys, spoons that changes colours when the food is to hot, a story book and some money.
This year we have decided that the grown ups dont get presents but I got two from dear J. It was two digital frames.
Of course we ate to much food and drank to much soda (no alcohol for me because I'm the driver in the family as J dont have a license). A day as it should be, lots of good food and nice friends/family.

Today all the shops have huges sales and me and J went out to "fight" with all the other people in the stores to see if we could find anything cheap and nice. Did we succeed? No. J wanted to look at tv:s and computer stuff. We stood in line "forever". Baby E was with the grandparents (thank good for that!). We never went to any clothes stores and I dont miss it. People are crazy. Shoving and pushing and cut in lines. And dont talk about the parking! Oh the parking! If any traffic warden patroled the area - oh how many tickets they had to write! They problery run out of tickets. Crazy crazy. Lucky for me I had the luck on my side! I managed to find a parking place quite fast! And no tickets! And the traffic jams! Just take a deep breath and relax. People and cars everywhere. But I have to say that it all run smoothly. No accidents as far as I cold see.

Oh very well. That is all for today. See you tomorrow.

Over and out.

Today it is Christmas Eve. Today we spend the day together with the grandparents, and J:s brother and his family. I will not have so much time to write here. I will eat way to much food, drink to much soda and get presents (but that is not important, I want to spend the day with my loved ones) I hope you have a nice day.

23rd of December. I never wrote a wishlist. Should I have done that? What do I want? Do I want anything more?
Christmas shouldn't be about the presents.

For the last two days we have had internet problems so I have had no TV, internet our home phone (just the cell phone). A day like that I realize how internet depending I am. I want to read my new! I want to read my mail! I want to read my blogs!

The kids group was nice. All the kids are older then Baby E, but that will be ok in a month or two. We made hand and foot prints in plaster and today I went there to paint them. I have to remember to pick them up tomorrow - grandparents christmas present! But dont tell them - don't spoil the surprise!

Today was my dear friend and former co-worker here to visit me and get help to make her hair wavy (she wants to be even more beutiful on Christmas Eve).

Its cold outside today! - 13 degrees C! Omg and they say on the TV that's its going to be even colder. I dont want that! I want summer, I want it hot!

Today for the first time Im gonna go to something we call "open preschool". It's a place where they have different activities every day and you can come and go as you wish. Something to do during the days when you are at home with your baby. Today they are supposed to do hand and foot print in plaster.

Later today I have to take one of the cats to the veterinary for a checkup.

I tell you later if the "open preschool" is something for us (me and Baby E).

Its the 4th sunday of Advent. At least for one more minute.

This weekend have been buzy. On sathurday we was at the swimming session and after that we went to see godmother. We had a nice time with a cup of coffee and dinner. Home way to late but it was worth it.

Today we saw Harry Potter and the deadly hallows part 1. First we met up with some friends for dinner (Baby E was with us) and after the dinner the grandparents picked Baby E up and we went to see the movie.



I cant wait for part 2! I have read all the books and seen all the other movies and I like them.

Today me and Baby E have just been at home doing nothing! And we liked it! Later it is time for his swimming session.
Tomorrow he's gonna meet the dietician and I have to take the last shot for our Thailand trip. Maybe some last christmas shopping. Have you done all the christmas shopping?

Well have a nice wednsday and see you later!

Today the mum group had some Lucia coffee with gingerbread and saffron buns. Since I cant eat dairyproducts (Baby E cant eat that) I had a nice cake - just for me.


It was nice to see them again. The babies was dressed up as gingermen and santa claus. We have M with Baby W, L with Baby T, H with baby A and A (twins, a boy and a girl) and dear M with Baby I (sick at home). Lots of laugh and talk.




Dear J was out with some old co-worker and got home at 21. At that time Baby E had eaten some prune puree and had a bath ( he loves it!).

Tomorrow is a crazy day and I dont think I'm gonna remember to write here.
Here is our day:

8.30 Doctors appointment at Astrid Lindgrens ward near where we live

11.00 Appointment with Baby E:s new doctor

13.00 Appointment with my midwife

14.45 Appointment with Baby E:s midwife.

And somewhere between there - I got to have the last shot before our Thailand trip in january.
And if I remember.. LUNCH. *pheww* I think I got everything written down.

Well see you when I get home again tomorrow!

It's the Lucia Day today. Me and Baby E are going to see the Mum group today. Baby E is going dressed as Santa Claus. Me? Im not sure. We have just got out of bed (loong morning in bed!). Some breakfast and then off to the Mum that is hosting todays get-together cofffee.

See you later!

Yesterday we was at the bath house for Baby E:s swimming session. Today the babies practised to grip the edge of the pool. They need to practise that incase of an accident of falling into the pool.

Its the third sunday of Advent today. The day started slow and nice. We got up at 10. Even Baby E wanted to stay in bed!We have been at the in-laws for a birthday dinner. What have you done today?

Today Im gonna put up the christmas decorations. Yes I know Im a bit late but I have had other things on my mind. A walk to the mailbox is also up for todays "To do list".

Me and Baby E is just fine. He is sleeping right now and I want to do the same thing, but I'm gonna do choirs. Baby E is in a phase that he doesnt want to be by himself. He wants to be carried, not to cuddle, he wants to see the world. That is how its supposed to be and its good! But it makes it a little harder to do something at home.

So. We was at the hospital today and got the results from the MR and the ultrasounds. Baby E is fine. He got something called Neurofibromatosis. Or so they think. We have to go back in three month to do a checkup. At the same time the doctors want to take some blood sample from me to see if they can see which kromosome that is mutated, I have this diagnosis aswell. I have never had any problems with it in my life so I'm happy that Baby E is fine, a stone has fallen from my heart.

Neurofibromatosis

Neurofibromatosis (commonly abbreviated NF) is a genetically-inherited disorder in which the nerve tissue grows tumors (i.e., neurofibromas) that may be harmless or may cause serious damage by compressing nerves and other tissues. The disorder affects all neural crest cells (Schwann cells, melanocytes, endoneurial fibroblasts). Cellular elements from these cell types proliferate excessively throughout the body forming tumors and the melanocytes function abnormally resulting in disordered skin pigmentation. The tumors may cause bumps under the skin, colored spots, skeletal problems, pressure on spinal nerve roots, and other neurological problems.^[1]

Neurofibromatosis is autosomal dominant, which means that it affects males and females equally and is dominant (only one copy of the affected gene is needed to get the disorder). Therefore, if only one parent has neurofibromatosis, his or her children have a 50% chance of developing the condition as well. The severity in affected individuals, however, can vary (this is called variable expressivity). Moreover, in around half of cases there is no other affected family member because a new mutation has occurred.

Its been a while since and I will try to give you an update. Sathurday was nice. The in-laws and the godmother was here for dinner. Sunday is a day to take it slow.
On monday it was time to go back to Astrid Lindgrens hospital for children (AL)for more check ups for Baby E. When we got there the doctors wanted more blood samples ( how much blood do they think a baby have?). Then the nurses told us that the schedualed MR x-ray would take place tomorrow instead.

Its tuesday today and we have been at the AL most of the day. First it the x-ray and after that the doctors wanted to do an ultrasound on Baby E:s heart. Tomorrow we are going to meet the doctor that is handling this case and I hope the doctor have some answers. I will keep you updated.

As soon as I find the cable I will show you some clothes Baby E got in present.

Baby E is not that sick so the doctors sent us home for the weekend. But we have to go back on monday for more tests. This is how it is. Baby E have some veins (at least the doctors think it is) bulging on the back of his head near the ear. This is not common so they want to do some tests. It is not dangerous and Baby E is not sick or anything, but it needs to be checked up.

Today we are going to do some house choirs and have a dinner with the family and godmother. As it is Lucia we are going to drink some mulled wine and eat saffron buns. And to them that needs to be more nice - gingerbread.

Have a nice weekend!

Me, J and Baby E is at the hospital. We have been here for the night and the doctors will do more tests. More update later. But just so you know. Baby E is fine as far as we know.

Days fly by and Baby E is 4 month. he can soon try to taste food.

It's cold today. - 12 degrees C. Brrr. We will stay in all day.
