Where do women with breast implants buy their bras?

That has been bugging my mind all day. It may seem random, but since I got pregnant and gained 8 kg (!!!), my quite normal chest has taken unexpected proportions. Where can I find pretty push up bras in size 65F or G? The shops I have visited only carry up to 65E. I have outgrown that size by now, and it is getting very uncomfortable. I really want to avoid those ugly maternity bras that are out there as long as possible or maybe all together if I can. You are most welcome to leave your helpful ideas in the commentary field below...

Weekend with my family in Karlskrona

Mom, Dad and Móni surprised us by coming to Karlskrona while we were visiting my brother. What a great idea that was! We had a lovely day out in the sun. We started it off by walking to the city centre..
While walking, we enjoyed the views of the archipelago that the town is founded on.
I really look chunky nowadays. I guess that is what happens when you put on eight kilos...
Then we had a nice family lunch out in the sun.
Afterwards we strolled around in the shops, but for once I wasn't the one doing the shopping!
The shopping was rounded off by an ice cream moment on a bench in the sun. Later on, Zoli grilled some meat and we had  a nice dinner together in his apartment. It was a great, great weekend. I love to be with my family! <3

Todays spontaneous shopping

I have been thinking about getting a new cell phone for a while. The one I have at the moment is a Sony Ericsson  W880i and I got it three years ago. I love it. It is really neat and small, still has a good battery (I charge it once or twice a week) and I can blog with it. Unfortunately, the camera is a really lousy one and my headset gave up a while ago (well, at least the contact) and it would be more costly to repair it than the actual worth of the phone. So, therefore I have been on the hunt for a new companion. The problem is that I know exactly what I want and the trends now in cell phones aren't my cup of tea. I like my phones to be as small as possible, with no slide, hatch or touch screen, with a good camera and battery life. This hasn't been an easy task, but with a little help from some "tech-nerds" (Erik and Hagis) I have come to a decision. I will welcome home my new Sony Ericsson C901 in " precious peach" in a couple of days! Extra kudos to the makers of it for making it enviromentally friendly.

Can you see what it is?


It's a boy! And oh boy, do we have trouble ahead.. Starting with a name!?

Second ultrasound; an alien says hello!



From January 12..



Letting the cat out of the bag... Surprise!

Yup, it's true. I'm pregnant. I took two tests on January 12, just to be sure, and both showed the same result. No doubt there. But I didn't really believe it until I saw my little UFO on the ultrasound. That was a great moment. Still, it feels utterly surreal but a warm and fuzzy feeling fills my soul!

Dinner flowers


What a busy Sunday! After I had paused for a while on the balcony in the sun, I washed some clothes and dishes, went with Erik to buy vegetable seeds to plant, shopped for dinner, had Magnus and his one year old daughter Olivia over, gave Catrin a ride home from the train station and finally had dinner at home with Erik's mom Ingela. She was the one who gave us the flowers that now light up the room.

Sunshine, tea and reading a book on my balcony. A great way to start my day!



Good morning, rise and shine!


I woke up at seven, forced myself to stay in bed until eight, then I got up and made scones since we had no bread for breakfast..

... Figaro's wedding.


I really enjoyed Mozart's comedy. Afterwards we had drinks at hotel Lydmar in their cozy bar before we headed back home. That is just how Saturdays are supposed to be!

At the Royal Opera with Erik, watching..

The cutest little Oscar there is!


He is six weeks old and already charming the world around him. Nina and Herman made us a lovely dinner, but the main attraction was undoubtedly Oscar.

The herbs are being planted, just beside the grill.


It is not a coincidence, the grill master wants them at arms length!

I found a swing..


Both of us seem to be shopping for things that are made for a house, not an apartment. But since we both grew up in houses and spring is the time when you start to go outside, maybe it's not so strange that we long for an own garden.

Erik found the grill of his dreams...


Unfortunately for him it doesn't fit on our balcony.

Preparations for summer on the balcony!

Some pictures from the Dave Matthews band concert




Melissa and I had quite good seats and the whole concert experience was the best I've ever had!

Easter 2010 in Langesund

Erik loves lamb and Easter is the main occasion for him to enjoy it. I think that last part is quite obvious in this picture..
One of the traditions we have is to paint eggs. The left one is made by Erik and the "chick" was my work of "art".

Peppe and his parents came down from Oslo to share Easter dinner with Erik, myself, Ingela and Ernst.















Ingela and me.

The sun came out on Easter Day so we took a stroll in the woods and by the water. Very refreshing! Afterwards we returned to reading books and having saunas. A very relaxing stay!

Feeling full and content from the carb-bonanza..



Pizza night with Bo and Catrin.


Cat and I wanted to go shopping but all day there were things that got in between. Although home made pizza, a movie and hanging out with friends aren't a bad way to spend a Saturday!
