Winter depression.....

Winter in Sweden can be so depressing... :/ :)) But I honestly think it is worse on the days when the sun is shining, because then you enjoy the sun, but realize that it is another 3 months or so for Spring to show up... :D Fredrik and I were so happy to be in the US during the darkest month of the year. The days are slowly getting longer.

The weather has been dreary and dull. One day a week the sun will shine, otherwise it is cloudy, dark, and rainy.

Leia has wanted to sleep all day today.. :/ Last night she slept from 20.00-03.30 and then from 04-06.00. Then she slept 08-10.00, and she slept off and on for an hour while I showered and got us ready for a walk. And then she slept the entire 1½ hours of the walk. And she was ready for her night-sleep at 16.00.. :/ Maybe she is having some growth-thing or something and she is wanting to sleep a lot. She has been fighting with eating, though. The only way to really get her to eat is to get her to sleep first.. :/ And then she will eat okay. She did that a couple of times while we were in the US and she has been doing that a little the last couple of days. We're assuming it has something to do with her gums bothering her, that she doesn't want to suck. She will take the nipple into her mouth and then turn her head and spit out the milk.. :/ She is going through a weird phase. :/ :)

But she is still so easy to take care of. A different baby than we had before. :) Of all the children I've ever taken care of, she has been the easiest to put to sleep. Fredrik and I tell each other every day how lucky we are to not have any difficult issues. I know that the parent-group baby that was born the day after Leia isn't sleeping during the nights..

Mormor and Morfar are enjoying life in Florida.. :) They have been there since Saturday and are staying with their friends for 2 weeks. We are extremely jealous.. :)) After they get home, they will get their tickets to come and visit us this summer. We hope that we can all survive together for 2 months.. :D But it will be summer and we can spend lots of time outside, etc.. :) I'm actually looking forward to it.. I really want them to see our house and where we live, etc.. etc.. We are definitely going to Denmark, and then we haven't decided yet if we are going to go camping in more northern parts of Sweden, or if we are going to take a road trip through Norway.

Hmm.. Trying to think if there is anything... :/
Work is going slow for Fredrik. He isn't having to go outside much, which is nice when the weather is nasty. Caesar is still enormous and fluffy. Yesterday he crawled into the closed suitcase and slept in there for awhile.. :/ :) Not sure how he managed to get in, but he did.. :)

Time seems to be going by much faster now that Leia has arrived.. I know it is just going to get worse.. :/ I try to use my time wisely with her.. :) And enjoy all the little moments.

(This evening she listened very happily to Puss in Boots..!) :)
