Bump fascination + a blog tip

Bump @ 30 + 4 weeks this morning

One thing that's been a support to me whilst being pregnant, is following the journey of others during their pregnancy, either through their blogs, or via Twitter. My fascination with bumps is so big and I simply love how they come in so many different sizes and shapes!

One blog (in Swedish) I'm checking on a daily basis is by this gorge young lady, a mother of one with another one on the way, who has an envious wardrobe, gives top fashion tips, and simply with her blog she makes a rainy day feel sunny :-)

BB award :-)

Yesterday evening when I was sitting in my PJs, contemplating another day of the stomach bug torture, I made an utterly delightful discovery in my inbox. The no 1 famed London-Swede blogger Stina, nominated my little bloggette amongst with 6 others, for the Beautiful Blogger Awards. If you haven’t already, I beg you to visit her blog.

SO… the rules are:
-Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
-Copy the award & place it on your blog.
-Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
-Tell us 7 interesting things about yourself.
-Nominate 7 bloggers.
-Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate

Ok, here we go, seven not so interesting facts about myself. Look here for previous similar post

1. I cry every time an advert comes up from NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children)

2. I get uncontrollable crisp cravings.

3. I a lot of the time lazily paint only the two nails showing when wearing open toe peep shoes.

4. I am a very light sleeper, sleep with ear plugs, but still wake up for the smallest sound (Sean coughing etc) so we have now finally moved Sean in to his own room.

5. Apart from champagne being my favourite choice of alcoholic beverages, I love a good ‘ole cognac such as Martell XO Surpreme.

6.I have been betrayed by several (now ex ) girlfriends and find it difficult to trust female friends

7. Before I decided to give up my career (NO REGRETS!) and become a full time mum, I had what I thought was my dream job as an executive PA for an Saudi oil shipping company, where I gratefully only had to work part time for many years.

The following are my seven nominations for the Beautiful Blogger Award:

Stina – so I’m returning the favour to the talented girl who nominated me. She is really the “girl next door”, and her writing and pictures are beautiful and the blog is very broad (now also with a lot of not only yummy but healthy food recipes ) which keeps it interesting.

Matilda - writes a great blog about life, fashion and nothing and everything in particular. Very enjoyable reading.

Caroline – one of my first blogging friends who now is a new Mum, and has got a beautiful blog with exquisite pictures and where you can get a fix of inspiration each time when looking a gorgeous pictures of her enviable home in Norway

Karin – a student who write intelligently about with passion about subjects close to her heart.

Linda – a law student who writes a very frank and open blog about everything from friends, family and her husband to be and she is very generous with personal details about her interesting London life.

Veronica – Not the average blog girl with the average blog material. a real quirky girl that I have really warmed to.

Fashionable Mama- The author is also a mother who has now moved back with her family to her native country Sweden after living in Ireland for many years

Good morning!

A cab is picking me up soon to take me to a Spa in South West London where I will be having a massage, and my brother is here to look after Sean.

I am wearing the same top as yesterday ( as I am not having a shower until I'm back home again since the oil they use normally has a quite unpleasant smell and it leaves you quite sticky) which is a a tunic from Vero Moda (Sweden) and a vintage leather belt above my waist, only today Im not wearing it with leggings but with white skinny jeans instead as the weather is slightly colder.


Now over to something completely different. Our friends, Gary, Sue and their two boys, are currently travelling in Sweden in their mobile home, a large camper van. We plan to meet up with them this weekend in the Skåne region, around my home town. You can look at their travel blog here. See how the British view us Scandinavians, our weather, our scenery, and read about their adventures in Northern Europe.

Tagged and featured

I would like to say a big THANKS to Stina for featuring me on her blog! She is another London blogger (but unfortunately for you English speaking readers, her blog is in Swedish) Go visit http://www.stinailondon.com/ for really great uplifting posts. She actually reminds me of myself and how I was 10 years ago :-)

Another thing is that I have been tagged by Sophie, where she challenges me to come up with seven facts about myself.

But just as she explains, it's really quite difficult to think of things to write, and also, because I've already done two similar posts before, I'm linking to them here, instead of re-writing them. Sorry Sophie, hope that's ok, but all the better I suppose because one post includes ten facts about me, and the other includes five facts - That's a total of 15(!) - i.e. eight bonus ones, haha

On our way to have Sean weighed this morning

hot cocoa and the Positivity Blog

My cup of hot chocolate this morning

Woke up at 6am today and felt really lonely without Bear in the bed. Yup, you guessed it, he yet again slept in the other bedroom, but again, I've gratefully received a good 7 hours sleep, so it's worth it :-)

It's still dark outside and I've had to turn on the central heating . On top of that, to keep the cold away, I've made a cup of hot chocolate and will now read this blog (which is a favourite of mine and incidentally written by a Swedish guy) before it's time to wake up Bear and have a cuddle..


Have a happy Wednesday!
