ADA

6 weeks ago Ada arrived. She is wonderful, beautiful, fantastic. Motherhood is overwhelming, sets things in perspective, is wonderful and rocks the soul. I can stare at her for hours and she's started smiling at me!

There won't be that much action on this blog for a while, as I'll spend most of my time with her. Once in a while I'll post something, and then when I have some more time and am less sleep deprived, I'll return :)

Week 23

In these pictures, we're still in the mountains. So I had to strike a "ski-pose" (we're doing this with humor - I hope you get that :)). The easter break did me really well. Actually, I wouldn't mind more time off. I still throw up once in a while and no food really tastes any good. The only good thing that comes out of that, is that it stops me from over-eating lots of easter-chocolates and junk. But I do look forward to the day when I enjoy food again - cause I love food!!

The baby moves around a lot, but each time I call for Espen, so he can feel it too, the baby stops. But it is nice to feel that it's active, and that there's something in there :)

Week 22

When I was 22 weeks pregnant (now I'm 27), it was easter and we spent the week in the norwegian mountains. I strutted around in comfy outfits like these. And the shower had frozen over the winter, so there was no luxury :)

Each week I feel like it's growing bigger and bigger. I didn't do much skiing this easter. I walked like a frightened old lady on the hard snow, afraid of falling. But the weather was fantastic, so I spent some time hanging out by the cabin enjoying the bright days.

Finally I'm done looking through all the wedding photos from Marianne and Al's italian wedding :) They've been really patient. Here are a few; they were completely in their comfort zone, playing along, which makes photographing such a pleasant task! Here's the STRIPEY pix!
