Yupp .. I write a little every day and then when we get home, I add it to the blog. :) That is what I used to do with my old blog and I thought that I would do it now since I know I won’t remember anything that happens while we are here. :)) And then I can add pictures, too. :)
The trip was.. interesting. :) Fredrik kept packing things in the car before they were ready to be taken out. :)) (I think Mormor and I know someone else like that.) :D
Leia woke up soon after she fell asleep this morning and has been a bit cranky every since. :/ She wasn't too unhappy in the car but made LOTS of noise, and then Caesar meowed most of the time. We almost threw the car seat and the cat carrier out of the car on the way. :D
And then the tank with the gasoline for the lawn mower started leaking.. :/ So the car smelled bad for ½ the trip. And now the plastic covering for the trunk (thank goodness we have one) is sitting out in the rain.
And we found a patch of snow.. :D
Left over from Easter. :)
Leia and Pappa are "resting" by the fire. I think Pappa is trying to rest and Leia isn't giving him much chance. :))
We stopped at Karlssons in Ed and bought Leia some cheap clothes. She probably doesn't need so much, but it is really, really cheap there, so we couldn't pass it up. Right now she is fitting into 12 month and up, and around 78-80 from Sweden.
I think my baby wants me. :P More later. :P
Saturday 21.28
I bought a cheap movie when we stopped in Ed. We usually buy a couple of really bad movies, to help the cold evenings be more entertaining. :) It was "Phantoms." A bad Dean Koontz book, with Ben Affleck. The movie was typical Dean Koontz, but it could have been worse. I'm sure they toned down the movie a lot from the book.
The evening ended the same as the day started... Leia still cranky and whiny. Not wanting anything. Not wanting to play or sit still ... She did eat well and I held her for about 40 minutes while she napped in the evening, and she was even crankier when she woke up. :/
For a second I thought that it looked like more tooth had come through her gums, but Fredrik couldn't see any difference, so maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. :)
A "new" house, a new bed, and she doesn't have her walker (gåstol) ... all that doesn't help either. :) But soon enough the place will become more familiar to her. :)
We've been giving her the prescription daily since we got it on Tuesday (a teaspoon each dose), and she has only pooped 2-3 times ... and she tries like mad to go to the bathroom. :/ She will sit, usually during dinner, and push with all her might and grunt, and she gets the funniest look on her face :D and her face gets so red ... but never any poopies.. :/ So if she doesn't go at all or it doesn't get better during the weekend, we are going to talk to her nurse again, and see what we can do about it. If anything.
Sunday 09.25
It is snowing. :) Yupp.. it is snowing. Just a little bit of flurries blowing around, but it is there. :/
Hmm... okay, now it started snowing much worse.. :D
Not really what we were hoping for this weekend. :/
Sunday 21.30
Leia had a great day today. :) She was in a fantastic mood. :) She had poopied this morning so she was feeling much better. :)
Fredrik managed to mow even with the snowing on and off all day. On Saturday it was around 4 degC (40 degF) all day, and today it was 2-3 degC (35 degF).
Even though it was cold, we took a short walk through the woods. Leia really enjoyed herself, but then we realized that everything is green.. :D
We were sad to see some trees cut down across the street of the house, beside the barns. :(
Aina even came by this evening and we finally managed to give her a present that we bought while in the US, to thank her for looking after Caesar while we were away.
Leia loved the fireplace and even though it was really warm in the room, she enjoyed playing and found lots of new fun "toys." :))
Having the fireplace really makes us wish that ours was useable. :( It would be about 30.000 sek (5000$) to get it repaired. The fireplace inside the house needs to be completely taken down and rebuilt. Only half of it needs to be rebuilt, but the guy said that to make sure it works better, we should just do the whole thing, and the price wouldn't be that much different anyways.
This evening we decided to reinstall my computer. Windows is just acting up and a few things are just "off." Screensavers aren't working, and standby isn't starting properly, and in a few simple games, the mouse functions are behaving and after so long of use, Explorer crashes. So that will be a big job to do when we get home. Not the reinstallation, but the saving of files and folders. We checked for viruses, there has never been anything. So we don't know what is going on, but we know the one way to definitely fix it. :)
Monday 12.00
We are home. :)
Leia slept strangely last night. She woke up screaming. We eventually gave her a little milk and she didn't complain when she was put in bed. She was fine if she was held, and I got in bed with her and she was very content, but it isn't so comfy for mommy to sleep like that. Because Leia wants to be completely enveloped, and she wants to only lay her head on mommy's arm, and then mommy's hand eventually turns blue. But she easily fell asleep again after she got some milk.
She was very, very happy to come home. :) And be in her walker. :) She is running around and around. :) She missed it greatly. We will have to take it next time.
I have a funny video to put on of Leia laughing. :)
Pappa is at the grocery store now, picking up a few things.
Weather is sunny today, but still cold. :/
We left pretty early, and when we got to the lake they were making extra runs with the ferry because of logging trucks, so we left at 09.45, instead of 10.
But now I will add this and add some pictures along with it!
