Tack, Farmor!

Farmor came and spent a couple of days with us this week, and we really appreciate her coming! Tack, Farmor! Leia got to spend some time with Farmor and I got a chance to get some things done - especially gather together papers for our trip to the US in 1 week.

Next Friday we'll be going to Farmor o Farfar's and spend the weekend with them, so we have a couple of days before having to leave on our looong trip. We hope to take the weekend to go into Stockholm and look around a little. We want to get to Gamla Stan and maybe buy a few things, and get to Drottninggatan to an Indian store recommended by my Indian friend, Yamini, to buy some gripe water for Leia's tummy. And we have to make a trip to Täby and do a little shopping there.

Leia slept very well yesterday! She slept from 12.15-15.15 in her swing. Even with all the loud noise from the window-guys. She absolutely loves her swing, and I think Fredrik likes it more than all of us. :)) He really didn't think that it would work, but it does. :) All except on Wednesday, Leia falls asleep within minutes of being put in it.

And Leia is doing fantastic overall. I think her major growth spurts are done, and she is a more content baby. :) She has set up a schedule for herself and it is working well for all of us. :) She goes to sleep any time after 7 in the evening, and then sleeps anywhere until 1-2.30, and then she goes back to sleep and sleeps anywhere from 5-6.00. That will get messed up a bit by our time change of going to the US, but I think it will be easy to get her fixed back on that schedule while we are there. :) And luckily we are there long enough, that she will have a schedule for awhile before having to have another drastic time change when we come home.

She only cries when she is hungry, and that is an easy problem to fix. :)
I'm still pretty angry at the BVC nurse for the suggestion of not feeding on demand. Every American that I have talked to has been very displeased with their BVC. :/ Coming from a different place gives us something to compare the BVC to. Mind you, the woman is as sweet as can be and is great with Leia, but it seems more like they picked a woman off the street that likes to hold babies instead of someone that has any real medical knowledge... :/

Blah blah blah... :/ :))

The windows are looking great. :) I'll get some pictures on when they are finished up. Shouldn't be too much longer I think.. :)

Fredrik is home today and he was supposed to be off on Monday, too, but NCC asked (told) him to work on Monday ... so he has to at least go in for a ½ day. :/ Annoying, but they seem to forget that he doesn't work for them, that he is a consultant hired in and doesn't have the same demands for that project that they do... Blah blah blah... :/ :))

Hmmm...
More later.. :P
