Tired.

I'm tired.. :/ Going to be going to bed soon. Fredrik and I watched a.. different movie tonight. It was called "Shrooms." It was.. it could have been much worse, but it.. could have been better too. It wan't THAT bad.. but lacking a few qualities that movies should possess.

We are taking walks now in the mornings, since Leia is taking a later nap. We went into town to get a few things we needed from the grocery store and I got some paper for starting my school work and we bought Leia some pants. She has some thinner pants that she can wear around the house but she needed some thicker ones since it is getting colder out. So we got some that will fit now and a couple of pair that she can grow into. One pair was 30$ (180 kr) and that was including 30% off.. :/ I hate shopping here. :/ :)

She didn't nap well today, which has caused me to have a really bad headache. Because I am the designated co-sleeper for when she doesn't sleep. She HATES co-sleeping, so it is difficult to get her down for a nap. So I have had a very bad headache from the in and out of sleeping with her during the early afternoon.

Fredrik is having trouble putting Leia to sleep again. It was fine for awhile, but it started to get worse when he started back at work.. :/ So maybe with him being gone it really does make a difference.. :/

He really wants to take some pappa-leave. He also still has lots and lots of vacation days left (even after his 4 weeks off this summer). So we're thinking he will take that around Christmas and have a very nice long vacation, maybe take all of December or something like that. He can even work from home here or there if necessary if they need him.

The sanitation project he is working on in Bengtsfors was supposed to end after the new year, but it seems like the kommun has all of a sudden found money they didn't have and it will continue on into the Spring. :)) After the project is done, we're not sure what Fredrik will work with. Just lots of stuff here and there, no main project that we know of yet. There is a job going on in.. Falkenberg.. where he could be away for a week and be home on the weekends. But he is sure enough that there is enough work around here that he wouldn't have to do that. :) Although the money would be good.. :/ :) Where he works just depends on the demand of how quickly something needs to be finished. And if others need a break, like when he worked in Smögen.

Interestingly he has been working on hypothetical stuff for work. He was asked to find out what would happen in Smögen (coastal town) if the sea level rose 2½ meters (8 ft) (global warming).

Leia is eating well. A little too well? :)
For breakfast she had a double portion of gröt (baby oatmeal stuff). She had about 5 of her corn snacks for lunch and 6 ozs (180 mL) of formula. For after nap lunch she had steamed mashed veggies and some fresh pineapple. For dinner she had a few bites of a leftover hamburger from yesterday, a good helping of fruit flavored cottage cheese (keso), a slice of my homemade bread, a handful of diced grapes, and some chicken.
And then she had her 2nd bottle with 8 ozs (240 mL) of formula.

We hope she is eating well and that she is getting all those things that babies need. We add a little bit of butter with almost everything. Babies need their fat.

Caesar is doing well. :)

Leia's new schedule seems to be very popular though. On Friday she napped for 3 hours during the day, 11-2. So we've lost a bottle, and she is very okay with that. :)

But I think I need to get to bed now.. :/ it is almost 22.30 and I'm dead tired. :P

It is a baby blanket. She loves to be under covers.
