8 Weeks.

Yesterday was the beginning of the 8th week. And today we have our 2nd GYN appointment. I'm going to a private doctor and the doctor has his own midwives that work for him, so we think we are going to be very pleased with the doctor visits. Fredrik has to go to Gnesta today (and possibly Örebro the rest of the week), but he is leaving early so he can meet me at the doctor's office. We're hoping to see a heartbeat today and then we can decide on when to share our news with the rest of our friends and family!

Fredrik has been doing such a great job helping out. :)

Keeping the water pitchers filled and in the fridge and always bringing me water, especially when I fall asleep in the couch - he has water waiting for me by the bed for when I wake up to move into the bedroom. :) And he carries all the awkward, heavy stuff up and down the stairs. :) I'm still sleeping lots: 10-12 hours a night, which doesn't leave much time to get things done, especially lots of school work and studying.

It has been very difficult for us to concentrate on school and work, not only because of the baby, but with anxiety and hope for the possible move to Åmål or Bengtsfors. We've been looking for houses, but trying to not get our hopes up too much, so that we won't be crushed if nothing works out.

Sportlov ("spring break") this week, so plenty of rest for me, including a fika visit with a girlfriend on Wednesday, who is 5 months pregnant.

This past Saturday, we went looking for baby furniture and have narrowed the strollers down to a Brio or Emmaljunga (leaning towards the Brio).

Not exactly these, but something very similar. Definately not buying anything this early, but deciding on what we like, so we can keep an eye on everything incase it goes on sale!

More info tonight, after the appointment!
