Nesting?!

|

I still cant believe that we have come this far already! Even though I will be honest and say this pregnancy has proven to be way more challenging and “tough” then with Bun.. I am more physically tired and off course I do have an almost three year old girl that needs me. My back is utterly painful most of the day and I need intense Chiro treatment to make it through the week .. I will however manage and I cant wait for the lil Muffin to arrive!

I have done a little bit of shopping this time too – but nothing like I did with Bun. This time we do have most of what we need. That is a relief – as Im not that mobile :p

A few thing I do need to get is a hanging cradle, or more like a “hammock” with springs for a vertical rocking. We are lucky to get one at a very reduced price from my dear friend Kine. Its an “Indian hammock” and just gorgeous!

*Photo borrowed via Google – Let me know If I need to take it down!

I can hardly wait! Im getting a new lambskin for it and maybe a small natural mattress  for the start when the baby is small.

The springs Ill get from sneglehuset.com – This will provide the hammock with a slow and comfortable vertical rocking to sooth the baby 🙂 After reading the good experiences of other parents Im hoping this is the way to go!

Im also getting the mattress and sheets there.

 Ill get the connecters for the ceiling in a local hardware store – I need some that have excellent quality and “non creak” feature :p

Other than that its the hard bag for our Urban Jungle stroller that needs ordering and I MAY change the baby car seat. NOT sure yet though – depends on what Ill get for selling the one we have. Im drooling over the new Maxi Cosi “Pebble” – I think it looks sooo comfortable!

I will still need to get more wool – Its cold here in Jan, and I missed having more wool with Bun at that time.

There is allot I want – so Ill just hope I can control my self and have a run through all of Buns stuff – I think we will have more than enough….

Im really looking forward to the 3D scans now! Only a couple more weeks to go! Oh JOY!

Amandaprosjektet – Masker med mening!

|

Jeg leste denne artikkelen om vakre Amanda på Babyverden.no og har nå grått meg tom… Man får virkeligheten i ansiktet og man priser seg lykkelig over å ha en frisk datter men realiteten over hvor fort ting kan snu er helt ufattelig!

Amandaprosjektet – slik kan du bidra:

Hvorfor: Nyfødte – premature og syke – trenger å holde varmen skikkelig. Hjemmestrikkede (eller -heklede) plagg blir svært godt mottatt på nyfødtavdelingene. Helst i babyull, men alt er velkomment. Alle plaggene fryses før bruk.
Det trengs: sokker, votter, luer og tepper.
Størrelser: Fra de minste premature på en knapp kilo til fullbårne barn (som er født syke). Som mønster til de minste størrelsene kan du bruke dukkeklær.
Teppene skal være små, ca A3 (dobbel A4 ark/30X40cm). Teppene blir brukt oppå babyene for å lune dem, ikke for å pakke dem inn.
Levering: Du kan sende til Bjørg og Bjørn, så leverer de personlig til Rikshospitalet når de har samlet opp en del. Du kan også sende direkte til nyfødt- og barneintensiven på Rikshospitalet. Da oppfordrer Amandaprosjektet deg til å ta bilde av det du har laget og sende til dem på epost. Bildene vil bli lagt ut på nettsiden deres (uten navn).

Kontaktinfo: Amandaprosjektet har egen nettside: www.amandaprosjektet.org. Du kan sende epost til amanda-prosjektet@lyse.net, eller ringe 47501222 (Bjørg) og 46785271 (Bjørn). Amandaprosjektet har også en egen Facebookside: facebook.com/amandaprosjektet

I got me some Horsie! ❤

|

I have a girl – I know! But this colorway has been a BIG favourite of mine for a looong time and have been dying to get my hands on some.

Today it landed in my mailbox and I have to say it exeeds all my expectations and its sooo gorgeous in real life! I have to go deep in to my thinkingbox to figure out what this fabulous string should become.
