We've taken Theo to babyswimming five times now, and he absolutely loves it! It's quite interesting to see how the little ones react when we duck them under water, and they smile when they come back up again. Theo is a bit like a wind up toy when we put him on his back. His legs go mad, and he tries to swim. Good boy!
During the last month we've been on Easter holiday to Stockholm which was great. Went to see the Vasa museum and spent a lot of time walking around the city which was good. We were lucky and had really good weather. Looking forward to proper summer weather now. We've had a bit of a taste during the last week or so, with sunny weather.
Well, here we go again. It's taken me some time to get back into blogging. My last blogpost was before my life seemed to take a big turn - with a little one added to our small family. We're now three people, having welcomed little Theo into our lives on the 28th January. He's a gorgeous little boy who's now two months old. My life these days consists of looking after Theo, going for walks, and generally meeting friends etc.
I do enjoy life as a mum, and don't really miss work for the time being. I will try to start blogging again, now things are becoming a routine.
... and here I am still at home waiting for something to happen. I might sound very impatient, but I'm surprisingly calm and not really impatient at all. I know the little one will pop out when he's ready, so I just have to wait. Seems like everyone around me are more impatient than I am really!It's back to being Monday, and I've had a good weekend really. On Saturday we decided not to sit inside all day, so took T-banen up to Nydalen to find three caches there. From there we went down to forskningsparken and found another, before we sat on the Trikk and went home. It was nice just to be outside, although my walking pace is more like a 90-year old these days. Yesterday we decided on another day out, and thought that a trip to Rustadsaga would be nice. Got T-banen to Bogerud, and walked the massive kilometer from there to where the cafe is in the forrest. We found one cache, before walking up to Nøklevann where Torkjel put his ice skates on. At this point I went inside for a hot chocolate, before he carried on to find another two caches. The cafe was packed with people having been out on various walks in the area. Whilst sitting there, it started snowing really heavily outside. By the time Torkjel had got back, we had eaten a couple of boller (buns) and had a bit more to drink (non-alcoholic obviously), it had snowed about 4 cm outside. We walked back to T-banen, and looked like two snowmen by the time we got there. I wondered what happened to Christmas at that point. It felt right to celebrate it all over again because of all the snow!I've got another week ahead at home now, and hope that I manage to fill it with a few things to do. Meeting Anita for lunch tomorrow, then Irene is coming for dinner, so that's a start :) Just hope the week goes as quick as last week if I've got to wait for that long before meeting the little fella in my tummy.

It's 2009! Wonder how many times I'm gonna get the date wrong and write 2008 before I realise that's the wrong year? Always the case, hehe. Had a good celebration last night, with pinnekjøtt (lamb/sheep ribs) and all the trimmings at MO and Russ' house. Really enjoyed the night, although it was a quiet celebration! With 21 days left until my due date it suited me very well. Today has ben spent doing ..... nothing. Been on the sofa in front of the computer most of the day really. We did make it outside for a cup of coffee/hot chocolate briefly, but that was it really. Hopefully I'm a bit more awake tomorrow. Torkjel is going to work then. Guess this is when I'm supposed to sit down and write down all my New Year resolutions. Well, I've not really got any apart from being open to all the changes in my life this year! Only a few weeks until it's all starting now!
... althought it's almost New Year now. Hope you all have had a great celebration and got lots of lovely presents. I certainly did. We left Oslo for Ålesund and the island Sula on "little Christmas Eve", and spent Christmas eve at my uncle's house eating lots of lovely food and unwrapping mad amounts of presents. With 11 people present, there were a lot of presents to open! Think we got everything we wanted. Yesterday we drove to Lillehammer where we are now. Torkjel has spent the day cross country skiing whilst I went shopping with my mum. We have eaten lots of lovely food, and spent a fair bit of time relaxing. I'm just recovering from a boring cold, and hope I'll stopp coughing soon. Only got 25 days to go to mye due date for the birth now too, so time is flying! Going for another check up at the health centre over New Year. I am certain the baby is in breech position, but on the last check the midwife reckoned he's turned. We'll have to see who's right I guess, but I'm not convinced. Obviously hoping he's turned though. Got three days to go at work now, before my maternity leave. New Years eve is my last day of working. Guess I'm celebrating the start of my maternity leave with a New Year. We're off to Marianne and Russ' flat to celebrate which will be nice. Knowing myself there won't be any more posts before New Years Eve now, so HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
