Going to be very brief again, as I’m quickly posting this while Husband has taken Little O to swimming and Baby E sleeps. Thursday and Fridays we had good nights with Baby E going as much as four hours between feeds, but last night we were back at only an hour and a half between. “Oh…”, I thought, “Must be the week one growth spurt.” But this morning, he managed to go three hours between feeds. So it’s back to waking our very sleepy baby every strictly two hours during the day and hoping that that will encourage him back into sleeping longer at night.

This one of the two baby bags that you get given at the hospital – one sponsored mainly by Pampers (this one) and the other mainly by Libero, which is one of the leading brands of nappies here in Sweden.

Some of the flowers that we have received this week. I love the colours of these and love even more how the colours have come out in Instagram (despite the photo being a bit grainy).

Little O at our local playground, cleaning up the snow (he’s inherited Husband’s cleaning obsession, I think!). Perhaps though it bodes well for a career as an Olympic curling champion?

Hmm, I had intended to read these two books last week while Little O was at preschool and I was awaiting our imminent arrival. However, Baby E had other plans, so back to the library these go.

Why? Why? Why? (Apologies for the picture quality but it was taken after the sun had set (ie around 4.30pm – sob!) and I just had to take the shot). They are bright pink bulldog money boxes with diamante collars…

A little bit of Duplo post-modernism from English Mamma and Little O – the chimney was all his own work and he was very proud of it).

Feeling a little bit like this today after the long night last night.
In brief: English, living in Sweden, with my Swedish/Hungarian husband and our son, Little O, and trying to juggle all the different aspects of my new life - the me I was before, the me I am now and the me that I would like to be (which I imagine fondly as some ideal combination of the first two...). And now back on maternity leave and awaiting the arrival in January of our second little gyermek (child in Hungarian).
