We're still not sure what we want to do.. :/
We have both decided that we want the car, we just need a little more time maybe. :/ But we have decided that we will go back tomorrow after Fredrik picks me up from school and we'll take one for a test drive. And maybe that will help us decide.
I've been feeling okay. :) Just hungry and tired like always.
I've learned that if I eat something, anything every 2-3 hours, then I am better throughout the day and not as tired and drained of energy. I take stuff to school and munch on raisin boxes, fruit, or a muffin or something and that has been helping me this past week.
And my parents sent me some pre-natal vitamins! And I am hoping that those will help me with more energy and not being so tired.
We've received 2 pregnancy care-boxes from my parents now. :) Some maternity clothes (for future use), vitamins, our favorite candy from the US, some cocoa butter lotions and massage oils, and some cheetos for Fredrik. :)
It was a little scary, though ... my GYN said that I didn't need any prenatal vitamins.. :/ Just folic acid.. :/ Maybe it isn't a Swedish thing to take prenatal vitamins, but I think it is very important. We hunted and hunted for them in pharmacies everywhere here, but we came up with nothing, so I took some iron and Vitamin C tabletts until I received the ones from my parents.
We haven't been able to get ahold of the barnmorska (midwife) office ... Been calling like mad, but no one seems to be answering the phone. I really want to get in for another appointment and I really wanna have another ultrasound. I know it is common and normal but I'm going through a horrible period of worrying about something being wrong with the baby. :/ Birth defects and all that stuff.. :/
I'm hoping that some of my worrying will go away after the 12 weeks, when the risk of miscarrage drops. But I want another ultrasound just to see and make sure the the baby has grown appropriately... :/
I made waffles this morning. :) Very yummy.
Even though we don't eat it extremely often, I am getting a distaste for some fish.. :/
Still no food cravings, and no nausia or vomiting.
Some back pains which gets worse when I have my bookbag, and some very low abdominal pain, which might be from my slowed-down digestion..
Fredrik has an interview on Wednesday, March 28th. We are anxious about that as well. Holding our thumbs and crossing our fingers.
Work is going well for Fredrik ... just very, very busy.. He's doing the work of at least 2 people.. His name is under 7 different projects.. :/ His salary meeting should be coming up sometime this month. Maybe pushed back a bit because his district boss's father-in-law died.. so he hasn't been to work in awhile.
School is going well for me. The oral part of the test is continuously going on. The essay part is finished. And on Wednesday this week we have the reading part where you have to answer questions. Which to me looks like the most difficult part --- Easy to read a text and understand the innehållet....... ehh.... content but a poem is a little more difficult. :/ It is about 10 pages of short stories and poems and tons of questions about them.
I had my datorkunskåp (computer knowledge) test on Wednesday last week and received an MVG (highest grade) on that. I skipped my medicine test! :/ :D Not sure the teacher will be too happy about that.. but I'm not ready, and a little behind the class (since I am taking it flexible, it doesn't really matter anyways).. but the teacher is a little weird. :/
It is definately Spring here! The snow melted away by the beginning of last week. And it has been 10-12ºC (50-54ºF) all weekend. The sun is shining, the air is cool (but not cold) and we have Spring flowers blooming in the yard!
On Saturday, Fredrik and I went into town, and bought a baby book! :) A Classic Winnie the Pooh babybook:

Although it was much more expensive at Åhléns.. :/ :) But it is very nice.
I've had a little trouble sleeping the last few nights.. :/
I usually get very warm during the night and sweat lots, but that hasn't been happening the last few nights, but I've been having a horrible time falling asleep (once I get into bed - on the couch is a different matter).
The Ark is going to the Eurovision Final in Finland.. :/ Not sure how well they will do. Sarah Dawn Finer was my favorite, and then Måns after that.
I've made 2 baby registries on the Internet, I'll try to get those on here soon.
Maybe that is enough for now. :/ :) I'm sure I've missed something but I'm getting tired and I wanna do some school work before I fall asleep on the couch. :)

Hej Hillary, tycker att du gör helt rätt som äter vitaminer. Här i Umeå tipsar barnmorskan om "Mitt val Kvinna" som finns att köpa på apoteket, jag har ätit två tabletter/dag hela graviditeten och även järntillskott ("Niferex") pga ett lite lågt blodvärde. Om blodvärdet är bra så behöver man inte börja med järntabletter förrän efter v.18, bra så länge man slipper eftersom man blir hård i magen av dem. /Sköt om er
