When Erik was born, we received as a gift from a good friend of mine, a personalized Book of Wishes. My friend bought a plain white notebook, and turned it into a piece of art using the decoupage method. She created this beautiful cover and also personalized the inside white pages. How do we use it? 1) When […]
Our little Erik seems to be very eager to communicate. He can now say all sorts of vowels and the international ( 🙂 ) word in the baby-world “agou”. When I have him on my lap and he’s in the mood for a ‘chat’, he will look at me in a very serious way, sometimes […]
On the 19th of October I had my birthday. I turned 31. Almost one year ago I got pregnant. As I was getting dressed up for my birthday lunch, I took a moment to look myself in the mirror and notice the aftermath of birth on my body. I can see that I am a […]
Since we came back from Mater Dei Erik has been sleeping in our bed at night. During the first weeks he wanted to be next to us, latched on or just on me, then he wanted to be touched, skin to skin through out the night, and later on it was sufficient for him to […]
On the 15th of September, when Erik was 1 1/2 months old, he slept for 6 1/2 hours straight right after his first night feed. That was a sleep record for us and it only happened once. After that he more or less went back to his normal routine, meaning waking up every 3-4 hours […]
Our little boy turned 2 months old yesterday! Time flies. I haven’t posted a blog post for a while now and the reason is obvious. Since Erik was born, I could hardly find time or the will to do anything else other than spending time and taking care of him. Babies grow and change so […]
This is going to be a short blog post cause since yesterday evening the cramps and contractions are much stronger and painful, although still random, and I find it hard to stay on a siting position. So the news after our Wednesday hospital visit is that there is progress, the cervix is now dilated 1 […]
The show made its appearance on the due date An obvious sign that labour is imminent is the appearance of the show – the plug of mucus that seals the cervix in pregnancy. It provides protection against infection and serves as a barrier against bacteria to help keep your baby safe. When it makes its […]
Erik’s due date has arrived but there are no big signs yet of him making an appearance. According to statistics, 1 out of 2 babies gets born before their due date and just 5% on the estimated date. The belief is that the overdue babies are not late at all, it’s just that the conception […]
It seems like I haven’t been doing the countdown properly. My due date is on the 29th so we only have 5 days left! The reality though is that it might take slightly longer. Only 1 out of 2 babies is born before her due date and usually that is a result of a miscalculation […]
