Revelation 09 November 2009

I’m without a doubt the most nauseous person I’ve ever come across. And so says my husband. I get nauseous so easily and it’s mostly when I’m hungry. It can go from fine one second to really bad the next and I get floored by it if I don’t get food asap. So I’m used to the whole “feeling queasy” situation.

Although morning sickness is a bit more harsh. I have to really fight the urge to trow up at times and so far I’ve only done so twice in like three weeks. Not bad. With Hanna I had two weeks of throwing up once a day and that was it. Over in week 10 and after that it was all gravy. Mmmm…gravy….. 

Anyways, I’ve discovered something about my “morning” sickness though. The days when I’m tired my nausea is worse, then the days I feel well rested. Then I barley think about it.  Interesting in deed….

Bottomless pit 09 November 2009

I’m not joking when I’m telling you I have been eating all day long. I’m a bottomless pit today. A well you can drop  sandwich after sandwich in and all you’ll hear is the hollow echos of when they bounce from the sides of my stomach.

I’m not complaining though, I love food.  But unless I wanna grow to the size of the Michelin man before I reach my 3 month I think I’m gonna have to pace myself.

And I don’t have any real cravings yet either except maybe cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegrette and garlic powder, that’s a hit right now. Much of everything is going down at the moment though.

With Hanna all I wanted was salmon sushi and to do the dishes. This time I definitely not have the same desire to do the dishes.  

 

 

Knocked up and ready to roll! 06 November 2009

I am so pregnant! And I just can’t shut up about it any longer!!

I had a feeling, just as I did with Hanna, that I’d get pregnant fast. And impatient as I am, I bought pregnancy tests from day one. Even though I knew it was impossible it was gonna show anything. Mikey kept telling me that I was jinxing us by peeing on sticks every other day but I just couldn’t help it! I was so excited and feeling so instantly pregnant. Weird how it works.

Anyways, when my sister got here, I had been holding off on the pregnancy testing for a couple of days but bought one and finally it showed a faiiiint line. I literally bounced out from the bathroom and told Mikey I was pregnant, but the didn’t believe me. He simply could not believe we’d gotten knocked up so quickly.

It took 2 more tests to convince my hubby that we’d made it. That another one actually is on the way!

And right now I’m feeling it believe me. I’ve got “morning” sickness coming and going through out the day. Constantly snacking on fruits and yogurt is helping a little bit though. And the knowledge that it will probably end soon.

We’re so happy and I can’t wait for the next appointment!

Hellooooo Kitty! 01 November 2009

Our day at “Kitty Land” or Sanrio Puroland was a huge success! Hanna was ecstatic and my brother thought it was tons of fun as well. This was the strangest place though. Right in this really nice suburban shopping area, this huge fantasy looking building, is towering up at the end of a street. It instantly reminded me of the Mormon church in California, with its white pointy tower. And I got the feeling it was also to this place the kids in Pinocchio were lured and turned in to donkeys.

The place was 4 stories and you entered floors 1 and 2 which together made this open hall full of tree houses, stairs and bridges going along the walls. The strange thing was that the whole place was pretty dark. It was like a movie theatre before the movie starts.

They had this water ride going along the whole room on the mid level. You sit in small boats get to see all the Sanrio characters, blinking lights, loud music and sqeeky mechanical voices all at once. Hanna wasn’t too excited about the ride, I think she thought it was too much but as soon as we got off and located a live show with “My Melody”, ”Cinnamonroll” and some other bunny’s, cat’s and frogs or what ever they were, she got really excited. She was dancing and spinning and it almost brought tears to my eyes to see my little girl so excited.

You also got to visit Hello Kitty’s house, it was supposed to be her apartment I guess, and this is when the red flags started popping up. This was the tackiest house I’ve ever seen. Like it was decorated by a coked up hooker in the 80’s. Not cute or at all as I had expected little Kitty to live. It was just weird. Small details that had me wondering if Kitty really isn’t a sweet little cat but a rather lonely single woman in her mid 40’s and possibly, not all “horses in the stable”.

It was fun though, the whole day was weird and fun and I’d definitely bring Hanna there again, cuz she loved it. And anyone that goes to Tokyo, Japan should go there. It can’t get more Japanese then that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Kitty….and hello…crazy lady? 29 October 2009

We’re going to “Hello Kitty Land” tomorrow. I had no idea such existed but I wasn’t surprised either when I was told there was one. It’s not far from where we live either. It’s like an indoor Disney Land, but only with Hello Kitty. I think it’s gonna be fuuuun to check it out and Hanna loves “Kitty” so I know she’s gonna have a blast. My little brother is still skeptical and probably thinks it’s gonna be to girly for him but since I’m in charge right now, we’re ALL going.

How ever, I did get this uncomfortable feeling that we might run in to the always so “charming” and Kitty dressed crazy lady there….I mean I could really see that being her spot.  I’ll bring my axe, just in case.

 

…….aaaa..hhh… 24 October 2009

Where the f**k did I go?!

Just had one of those days when I was completely exhausted and all of a sudden that day had turned in to weeks.

My sister came and went, it was great, Hanna’s farmor (fathers mother) was here too and now my mom and little brother just got here yesterday. We’re on a roll people.

I have a lot of plans, things I want to do, like sew a few things I have sketched up in my head. But I’m even to lazy to  pull the sewing machine out of the closet. Should do a sit up or two, sqeeze in a squat. But that means I have to get up. Sigh….Just one of those days….

From nej to no… 12 October 2009

Hanna has gone from her phase of saying “nej” to everything….to saying “no, inte” to everything

For all the non Swedish speaking people, inte means not.

And she is quick with it…

-Do you wan….-No, inte!

-Can you pic…-no, inte!

I don’t know where she’s getting all this no-ing and nej-ing from. It can’t be from me, I rarely say no.

-Do you need a massage? -yes

-You wanna have sex? - Yes

-you need money? -yes

 

Chip thank you! 12 October 2009

I would like to implant a chip in my daughter. You know, like the one you can put in your dog, to track it if it disappears.

Reading about these cases, ”Jaycee Dugard” that was found after 18 years in captivity or little “Madeleine Mccann” that’s been missing for 3 years. I doubt it leaves any parent untouched. I think about these kids almost everyday, trying to understand how you go on with your life, not knowing where your child is? Is she ok? What is she going through? Is she calling for mommy? Not being able to protect my child is my worst nightmare!

So many children have been missing for months and years, I can’t imagine what I’d do if Hanna went missing even for 10 minutes!! And with all these screwed up monsters out there, with their weiners hanging out their pants. It’s terrifying to me!

I need that chip implant for my child! Am I screwed up? It’s not my fault, it’s these things happening to other peoples children that is making me very….concerned. It’s either a chip or I’m gonna be the psycho mom that is stalking my own child.

Enough with the nasty!! 12 October 2009

I don’t know what is wrong with some people but I have never been in a country where so many people just cough and sneeze straight out. You gotta be kidding me!

I got coughed on my shoulder yesterday, by a teenager. We were all stuffed in an elevator and the mother f***er coughed on me!  

A lot of department stores and supermarkets have hand sanitizer at the entrances now, free for anyone to use. But that ain’t gonna do shit when some people go in and sneeze straight on to the produce. 

I feel myself getting paranoid, always trying to stay a step ahead. It’s like I’m in a video game. Duck, turn, duck, jump, roll on the floor…anything to avoid the moist virus clouds people let out. If someone coughs I quickly turn my back towards the person and I loudly protest with “eeeuwww!” I give them the evil eye but most of them doesn’t even seem to get that it’s rude and NASTY!

Next person that coughs without covering, I’m gonna cough’em right back in the face.

Very mysterious 10 October 2009

Strange things are happening here I tell you.

I received a letter in our mailbox today and it said…

” Dear Mrs Anna,

you do not know me as I am…. a very mysterious person but it is I whom have been stealing money out of your wallet when you where not paying attention. It is I whom have placed all those annoying receipts in your wallet so that it is now hard to close. I have taken your yen bills and replaced them with small worthless 1 yen coins and I did it simply because I could. I have no intention of returning your money, just so you know….so don’t try to find me.

/Le Snatche de’money”

I was speechless people! How rude! I don’t know why this always happens to me?! First the wallet troll and now this!

Explains where all my money went though! And I told my husband from the start ” I don’t know what I did with the money!!” Now I have proof.
