Uncle Zoltan with Oliver.

As usual, Oliver has already cast a spell over Zoli, as he does with everyone that meets him. Subjective? Who? Me?! Nooo.. Hihi.

Visiting work..

..and all of a sudden I have a lot of baby sitters! We had some coffee and then I got to work for half an hour. It felt good!

Zoli is here!

We are hanging out, right now in Ikea. Amazing how you always find stuff you didn't know you needed!

Enjoyable moments.

Oliver and I are having lunch at Ulriksdals Slottscafe and reading the latest InStyle magazine so that I get updated on what to wear this autumn/winter. Oli has kept me so busy this weekend that I forgot to blog the Saturday night dinner at Erik's parents house and when Frida and Mårten visited us on Sunday. Now we are waiting for my brother to arrive from Karlskrona. He couldn't come when the rest of my family did since he had to work on a military ship for three weeks straight, so that is why he comes now. It will be great to have some company for a couple of days!

Taking a walk in my aviator jacket.

It feels like I am myself again now that I can wear my regular jackets. The trousers will have to wait for another couple of weeks or so, I am taking it slow and enjoying cinnamon buns and such while I'm at it.

Yay, it's Friday!

Weekend equals Erik at home with us!

After work with Helene and Erik on Strandbryggan!

Oliver and I walked to the city and went to say hi to Erik at his workplace. After I had breastfed Oliver we went to have a drink on Strandbryggan, probably the last one outside this year. It was nice to get out and see some people!

A mystery

So far today, Oliver has thrown up on me four times and peed on me twice. Despite that, I can't stop kissing him! Love works in mysterious ways...

Check up

We have just been on a check up. Oliver has gained 450g in one week and two days (which is really a lot when your totally weigh 3330g)! I knew that he has been eating well and this only confirmed it, but it felt good to know it. Since he was quite little when he was born, I was a bit concerned about his weight, but not anymore!

Sleepy head.. And he snores too!

I don't dare to move an inch, but it is nice to just sit here, feel his warm litte body against mine, listen to his cute snoring and smell his wonderful baby smell..

Apricot and walnut bread, my variation of it.

1dl raisins, 2,5dl dried apricots in pieces, 2dl walnuts and 1dl haselnuts in pieces, 1dl sunflower seeds, 1dl crushed flaxseeds, 2dl rye flour, 3dl wheat flour, 2dl barley flour, 1,5dl kruska bran, 2 teaspoons bicarbonate, 1 teaspoon salt, 5dl quark, 1dl lingonberry jam and about 4dl water. Mix together, bake in the lower parts of the oven in 1 hour and 200 degrees Celsius. Done and done! This bread is delicious, not to mention packed with calories.. I love to eat it hot so the butter melts on it. Bon appetit!

We like it by the water!

Oliver and I took an hour long walk in Hagaparken in the sunshine. Erik is working from home today so I have some company, which is nice. Every little thing like this makes my happy hormones overflow!

Autumn at its best!

Uh oh, somebody has a tummy ache! What better way to battle it out than on mummys chest?

Picture of the day of Oliver!

This was the first day without Erik at home with us. He had his two weeks off as a new dad but had to go back to work today. It was rather empty without him, but Oliver and I had a busy schedule so the day passed quickly. First, we had to wake up in time so that Oliver could have his breakfast four times, then a check up appointment at the hospital, then his lunch, then I squeezed in an eyebrow shaping and colouring for myself when he was napping and did some grocery shopping. Many many hours later we came back home and half an hour later Erik did aswell. I never thought a day could pass this fast while doing "nothing"!

Tea and coffee stop at house of butterflies in Hagaparken after an hour long walk.

It is great to hang out with my family! :-)

15 September, second 3:rd wedding anniversary!

Let me clarify. We got married twice, once in Sweden to make it official and once in Budapest in a church. Yesterday we celebrated the church wedding with champagne, goose liver, red wine and steak tartar after Oliver had had his dinner and finally was asleep. Sure, we had our dinner after ten in the evening, but it felt like a date night even though we were at home.

Body check, one week after giving birth.

My stomach is still a bit soft and far from its former glory, but considering that I have been eating at least two chocolate bars per day this week on top of all the regular food, it isn't too shabby!

Caught on camera! First time Oliver sucks his thumb!

Good morning!

Walk in the afternoon sun makes us all happy!

Oliver tries out his bed for the first time. He seems to like it...

...but I missed him too much and put him back in my bed...

My boys. I can't get enough of them!

Safe and sound asleep, melts my heart...

Who cares that I got virtually no sleep this night either when he looks this content?!

First walk with the stroller!

In the car seat, on our way home!

Oliver, the details.

Born September 5 at 23.10 o'clock. 48 cm and 2840 gram.

Our little family!

Daddy Erik with his son Oliver.

He is here!

We welcomed our son, Oliver Gustaf Daniel, to the world at 23.10 tonight. He is absolutely perfect!

Interesting night..

After we got home from the party, I had half an hour's sleep and woke up from the curious sensation of the water breaking! After that neither Erik nor I had much sleep. At eight o'clock in the morning we went for a check up in the hospital. Since my contractions didn't come regularly enough, we were sent home to rest. So that is where we are at the moment. To be continued..

September 4, at Ingela's birthday party, eating fermented Baltic herring.

The smell is something evil, but it actually tastes pretty good. It was a nice party and as usual, Erik and I were the last ones to leave..

Ingela, cutting her birthday cake.

It is a tradition to wear those silly hats and sing silly songs while eating and drinking. Being silly is funny! 

At "Sjätte Tunnan" in old town...

We are celebrating Edward and Potipa who recently got engaged. On September 11 they are to be married. It has only been 8 moths since they met, but hey, if it is right it is right! Romance lives...

Vote!

Yesterday was the first day that the Swedish people could vote for how they want the Government to be in the following four years. Since the official election day is the same day as the predicted birth date for the little guy, I didn't want to risk not to be able to demonstrate my democratic rights, so I voted yesterday. You should do the same!
