T-10 days.

Ugh.. Not feeling too good today.. :/

I woke up around 02.00 and couldn't fall back asleep. I gave up and came downstairs around 03.45, and had a banana and a glass of milk (I was hungry). And I laid in the couch and dozed off and on until Fredrik left for work. And then I slept a couple more hours in the couch.

My tummy isn't happy.. :/ Upset stomach (that I've had for the last 3 days or so). But today I feel really icky.. :/

I think I was having some contractions last night - during the night. And I think that is why I had so much trouble falling back asleep. Which is slightly annoying, because these light contractions could go on for a couple more weeks.

I think I had a little trouble sleeping because I was thinking about our flight in December ... about going through security when we enter the US --- how it will be very crowded in a small space, we will have a 2 month old baby, and jackets and shoes to take off and lots of bags ... and how it is going to be SO much fun to deal with all of that.. :/ :)) Knowing that we are going to lose something somewhere, and hoping that it won't be the Baby.. :D

I asked Fredrik last night if I had to hold Baby inside until after his birthday. :)) He said he didn't care if it did show up on his birthday. :)
We find it slightly annoying that all 3 of us will have a birthday in October. Would make it a little more annoying, I guess, to have 2 of them be on the same day.. :/ :)

Fredrik said that we have 2 weeks to change size on the outfit that he bought yesterday - so we can always change it and get a slightly bigger size if need be. :)

Yesterday I tried to catch up on e-mailing people. I'm getting lots of "have you had the baby, yet?" e-mails. :/ :) So, if I haven't gotten in touch with you, then I'm on my way.. :P :)

I've been spending lots of time working on Baby Shower invitations. We had those printed in the US and shipped to us - so I've been working on addresses. I think we are sending out about 40 private invitations, and a couple of open invitations, so, not sure how many people we are going to have.. :/ But it should be a lot of fun. :) And we pre-ordered baby announcement envelopes. So, working on the addresses for those, too. And then after the Baby shows up, we just fix the announcement to be printed.

Fredrik is helping to set up for a small work-fair in Bengtsfors today, which is covering a large area of cities. He is going to represent Metria tomorrow. He didn't think he was going to have to do anything for the work-fair, as having a baby is getting him out of a lot of things at work.. :))) But they need someone, so he gets to work it tomorrow. He isn't sure what to do -- I told him to just hand out his business card and tell people what he does, and that should be good enough.... :/ :)) But he will have someone with him from Lantmäteriet (the Mother company of his branch), so I think he should do just fine. :)

Wish I didn't feel nasty.. :/ Really want to clean.. :/ Need to vacuum.. :/
Want to take a bath, too ... but afraid I will kill myself getting in and out of the deep bathtub.. :/ :D

I think we are both very ready for Karl-Astrid to show up. :)

Saturday we are going to Karlstad to get the stroller!
