Sorry

I know you all over there in Sweden are looking at the blog waiting for an update, but there just isn't much to tell. Jonas has been working double time because as usual he is the only one at his job that is capable of doing everyone else's job as well as his own. I myself have been trying to keep busy. Bobbi Brown has really cut back their freelance hours so I haven't been working hardly at all and it's quite lonely at home just me and the cats. Especially now, my parents are on their trip through the Northwest Passage so I can't even go and hang out with my Mom. I can't really go shopping, because while my clothes are tighter, I don't look pregnant and therefore find it hard to really go and wear maternity clothes just yet. I guess that this is a benefit to being tall, I don't think I'll really get that huge, fingers crossed no bad stretch marks either.

Anyhow, this weekend we worked on the house a bit, and when I'm done laying the flagstone I will post a pictures. Jonas is working on a few spots on the roof where we found leakage. I doubt we would have had leaks but we had so much rain this past winter, and they say it's going to be another wet one so we need to fix what we can. The biggest expense we have to take care of is replacing the fence along the bedrooms, the same area where we got rid of the concrete. Not only is the fence in this section falling apart and full of old termite damage but it's barely 6ft high. Our neighbor, as sweet as she is, however, lives extremely close to us, I would say barely 15ft separate our window from hers. I hear her alarm go off, her shower, her coughing, her blow dryer, her tv, her phone ring, her conversations and her oven bell ding. I am so anal about redoing this fence because I want to make it higher, about 2-3ft higher with the lattice on top. I want to plant more vines and I am hoping that not only will this give us more privacy but hopefully will deflect the noise too. Since the baby's room is right there too, I want this done before it starts to rain.  Once this is done hopefully no major issues besides a new baby will befall us!

Our next doctor appointment is this Wednesday, we don't get an ultrasound but we should be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. That will be the best birthday present!

Speaking of baby, just to keep you entertained I thought I would link to a few ideas I have for the babys room. Since I already painted the accent walls orange, that will not change, it's bright, cheerful and unisex. We are going to keep the comfy queen bed in there because I have been told by a few friends that it will be easier to feed in bed and even sleep in there with the baby in the beginning if I have to. I also hope this will allow Jonas to still get his sleep. I do not plan on having the baby sleep in our room, my Mom didn't do it with me so I wonder why everyone else does it? Anyhow, I moved the bed around and there is still enough room for a crib, changing table, hopefully some drawers and of course there is nothing on the walls in there so we need some shelves. I also really want one of these http://www.target.com/Dutailier-Ultramotion-Glider-Rocker-Ottoman/dp/B002WB14VO/ref=br_1_25?ie=UTF8&id=Dutailier%20Ultramotion%20Glider%20Rocker%20Ottoman&node=2954732011&searchSize=30&searchView=grid5&searchPage=1&sr=1-25&qid=1313382830&rh=&searchBinNameList=target_com_category-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin%2Cprice&searchRank=pmrank&frombrowse=1  . A few of my friends have them and they are nice to rock the baby asleep, very comfortable too.

Since I like the contrast of the dark furniture against the bright walls, and again dark furniture is unisex, I'd like to get things that look like this http://www.csnbaby.com/DaVinci-M4791C-Nursery-Set-DV1355.html . But again I'm not even going to start actually comparison shopping until my Mom gets home, and then we can start looking. These are just images I quickly found on the internet to give Sweden an idea of what we are thinking about!
