The summer heat has come and what is better than waking up in your own bed, balcony door open and hearing the seagulls talking loudly?
I'd say nothing. (Well, almost if you don't count the new chocolate addiction. Fine, the re-appearing chocolate addiction that I'm trying to drown with healthy foods like strawberries covered in healthy sugar and a dash of healthy whipped cream.)
This weekend has been marvelous. We've just done many chores like cleaning the boat, putting up the new wooden fence around the house, shopping for boxes in IKEA so I could rearrange the wardrobes... but it's been hot, sunny, jazzy and I've had a handsome husband to look at all the time.
I'm not taking many photos lately as my inspiration goes as far as to study the next meal menu and finding curtains, gadgets and pushchair for the baby. For those of you who know me, please don't panic, I'm still me!! I think... Is this what they call the nesting syndrome?? I'm not sure it's a syndrome but I'm glad the inner brain knows what to do because my conscious self is not so confident in all these changes. And this sounds very superficial but...
...I just had to buy a size 44 trousers. Nothing shocking apart from this being 3 hip sizes bigger than what I'm usually buy. Bye bye body, I hope you will return to your former self one day.
BUT, a major good news is that for the first time in my life I have a cleavage - Cleavage!! Me!! My mama who created and made my national Norwegian dress when I was half this age, reassuring me that she had to leave some extra space around the bosoms seeing how the family heritage was fortunate on this point. You guessed right, I apparently took everything from the other side of the family :) Lol... I should have enough to fill it in now though, and a little more.
Anyway, life is good with this growing belly, new clothes, a job and a flower explosion happening in the garden... and with some cutting of branches we'll be able to see the sea again from our balcony. And soon I'll get some pictures back into this blog. That is a promise.
PS:
I don't even dare think of what google hits I'll see the next few days with this post up...

good to hear you're enjoying your early summer days! enjoy that growing belly too, it's a wonderful thing to see your own body changing (even though I still question if my body will go beck to my pre-baby state and I'm not a big person either...)
Ciao Astrid, il mio inglese non è proprio perfetto, però verrò a trovarti sul tuo blog, a leggere di te, della tua famiglia che si allarga e di quest'estate che sta iniziando! un bacione
The boobs are going to just keep getting bigger until you stop nursing. Then it's more of a deflation than a 'back to normal' scenario. The things we do for our children.......
Oh,oh....cosa leggono le mie pupille?????Un'Astrid raggiante gioia e amore per tutto ciò che la circonda?Felice di tutto e di tutti?Che bello, mi hai fatto venire il buon umore...effetti meravigliosi della gravidanza...baci,cri
Well at least you are cleaning the house and organizing now! I can't wait for photos because I'm so visual.. :)
1 to 2 cups sizes is what you should expect. Hope you find bras.
Hi Astrid. It's been a long time since I've come by here (this past norsk winter almost did me in...) and I'm so glad I did! Look at all of the changes in your life! Wow. Congratulations on your impending parenthood---that's so exciting! I'm looking forward to reading all about it.
We had amazing weather here in southern Norway for the last couple of weeks but it's colder now. That's okay, we'll just wait for it to change back. :-)
Yay for big boobs! Haha, oh, and I know what you mean about the google hits...
