The little man – my sweet sweet LittleA, is sleeping – actually snoring in his sling crib with a little milk moustache. Amazing to think that he’s 6 weeks already – and gained 1 kg since he was born – so already 5kg and big boy. He has started to smile and have been a bit mischievous (yesterday he peed on me while I changed him….). I love being home with him, sing old songs and go for walks in the neighbourhood (popping by the local chocolate place….seem to be addicted).

I’ve had a look at old photos, planning to get some developed and add to a album. Strange to see photos of me with the bump – so much has happened already. But I thought I could do a different ‘What I Wore Wednesday’ linking up with The Pleated Poppy- showing off pictures with me being pregnant.

February, this photo was taken two days after I heard the very surprised message from the doctor: ‘But you’re already pregnant’. The week after we saw his tiny heart beating on the screen – amazing and I wanted to shout it on the rooftops.
March – I’m having morning sickness, the scanning has shown us a tiny tiny perfect baby, just 2 cm long. I have started to have problems finding comfortable clothing, prefer eating cheeseburgers or sushi.April/ Easter – We’re over the first trimester. The scanning shows a healthy baby due in October (we could even see all the heart chambers). The morning sickness is nearly over and I have a belly to show (although I wasn’t “official” pregnant on the blog yet) I’ve started knitting on a blanket for the baby in the belly. May – It’s going to be a boy!!! Even I, with no health education, could see it on the screen. Everything is going well, I’m so proud of my bump and happy to show it off on the blog:

June: We have heard his heart beat! Just such a fantastic sound. I’ve stared to feel the weight of the bump when using the stairs, being very happy that my office has an elevator. I’m visiting my sister in law in Belgium (so many stairs) and flying for the last time this year. August – the little boy is kicking, I’m counting down to maternity leave, we have bought his pram and I’ve started planning his nursery: September – just weeks left, I’m on maternity leave, got my pictures taken by the lovely Fussell couple.
October – just 3 days before my baby arrives. I have problems walking far (but manage somehow to walk to the ice cream shop almost every day), have only got one pair of pants that I can wear (I have to jank it up every time I get up). When this picture was taken I knew the date the doctors would start the birth – so strange to know….and exciting too

It feel very strange. Knowing the date he’ll arrive and that the bump will be gone. So this weekend we have been out enjoying the sunshine and the Indian summer here in Copenhagen. gone for walks, very slow ones with me walking like a duck and being out of breath just in time to sit down when we reach our local ice cream “pusher” by the park (very conveniently don’t you think ?).
And just wondered how it’ll be. Becoming parents, walking around with a pram. Loosing the bump, getting a son. How long will it take? How will it be?
This is the last day with the bump.

Det føles rart – ja på både dansk og norsk. Vi vet datoen og det er i morgen. Så er jeg plutselig noen annen – en mor…jeg en mamma. Det er ikke noe som virkelig har gått opp for meg men jeg har gjort mitt beste på å forberede meg. Kjøpt inn det siste, hentet vognen, fylt opp fryseren med mat. Nyt været – sommervarmt i København i helgen. Og snakket masse med min mann om hvordan det nå blir…klarer vi det? Og så har vi sagt farvel til magen…kommer nok til å savne de små hikk men så blir det også fantastisk å møte han som er der inne – endelig.

Look, my maternity photos!! Just so happy we managed to find a time to take them (as the previous time was washed away).
They are all take in Copenhagen, my the lovely Fussells from The flying house studios (Jack & Tina aka Traveling mama) – and I love them!
These pictures was taken when I was 34 weeks pregnant (please ignore my swollen feet)

Hi everyone, I hope you are well and have had a good weekend. Saturday my good friend Tina threw me an amazing baby shower. It was so nice to have all my friends gathered, eat cupcakes and more while talking about…oh well babies and giving birth. Quote ‘The one that invented the term the happy 9 months has to be a man‘ It was so nice, getting loads of attention, seeing all my closes friends and of cause getting some presents for the baby. Now I’m just going the relax, incubate and wait. PS Also got the maternity shoot pictures, you can see a sneaky peak on one of these photos – I will show you more soon!
PS Tina will have some more and better pictures on her blog soon.

I weekenden holdt min gode vennine Tina en fantatsisk baby shower for meg, i kjent amerikansk stil med uten for mye tull, bare gode venner og deilig snacks.
Baby shower – hva er nå det? tenker kanskje du. Kanskje du har sett en baby shower på ‘Sex and the city’? Jeg må bare si et det er en fantastisk idé. En super mulighet til å se venner innen man går inn i mamma/amme/baby koma. Fin måte å kunne sludre med venner, spise kaker – ja og kanskje få noen gaver til den nye verdensborger- samtidig. Så er det heller ingen som får dårlig samvittighet av å ikke ha tid/lyst til å måtes i den første tiden etter babyen har kommet – perfekt ikke sant?
Kanskje en god idé neste gang en vennine eller søster er gravid – hun kommer g
