Summer break

I have decided to take a break from the blog over the summer. The wedding is getting closer and closer and then we are of course going to Sweden for a couple of weeks : ) I might write a bit and put some pictures in (of the wedding for example) but otherwise I will be back in September!
Here are some pictures from my Sweden trip.

Long time no see

I have been a bit bad updating my blog but it has been a busy week. The week started with my tooth out on Monday, went really well and haven't had any pain afterwards so it was probably already half way out, such a relieve to be able to chew on both sides again!! One of my dearest friends Emelie of 15 years came and visit us with her lovely baby daughter and her boyfriend on Tuesday. They were over from Sweden visiting Ian's family all over England, a proper road trip. Was really really nice seeing them all and we had a lovely afternoon and evening and then lunch the next day in Lewes, I love Lewes and every time we go there I get inspired to move there, but it's quite expensive to buy (of course it's England for God sake!!), and renting is also expensive, but a girl can dream : )

I bought some more wedding stuff on Thursday and met J for lunch and before I knew it was Friday. I took the bus to Sing and Sign on Friday with the Ergo baby carrier we borrowed for my Sweden trip, it worked really well and Ax was sleeping like a little baby on the way home, so sweet and lovely to have him so close snoozing away, almost tempting to use it a bit more just to be close : ) I rounded off the "working week" but catching up with Kirsty over a burger at GBK and some nice rose wino, was really quite tipsy when I walked home just before 11, but a great night!

We went to an alternative christening on the beach yesterday, it was a bit cloudy to start with but then sun came out. We covered Ax with 50+ sunscreen, shade and a sun hat, but I manage to forget myself, so I'm a bit red today. I have been so good up to now using sun factor 15 whenever it's been sunny and not burnt myself at all. But it's so deceiving when it's sunny and cloudy (at one point it was even raining a little bit). Oh well, it's not that bad and I will definitely wear loads on protection today to compensate for yesterday : )

The blackout blinds are working, Axmax woke up 6.30 two days this week which must be a record of some kind, but he woke up at 6 today of course as it was my day to go up early : )

or maybe yellow??

Also, how about hair jewellery of some sorts?

* I found the shoes at random bloggs but they are not for sale anymore unfortunately.

Pink shoes - need your advice!

I'm thinking of having pink shoes to my white (short) wedding dress to spice it all up a bit. I found two that I like, what do you guys think? Feel free to come with suggestions ; )

Boring or nice?

Crazy or funky?

Proof of damage.

Axel is feeling much better, think he has forgotten about the whole incident now, well he probably moved on pretty swiftly, talking more myself I guess. So scary when your baby hurt himself, and even more scary of J when I called him at work crying saying that Axel fell, there is blood ha ha.

Here you can see the damage on the left side of his nose, but nothing broken!

You can really see that Ax is my child - I'm "famous" for having my camera smile that I put on automatically as soon as a camera is in the room and Axel is the same, always a smile in front of the camera!!

oh, and Axel has been saying da da da da da the whole day amongst other things, sometimes it sounds like he is mumbling complaints to himself. Note to myself - have to say ma ma ma ma a bit more every day!

First minor accident and I'm already a wreck...

Ax had his first little blood accident today, he sat on his play mat and reached for a toy when he tipped over and must have landed with his nose on one of the plastic cubes he got. I was on the phone trying to book a room on Ven for some of J's family when it happened. First I didn't see the blood so picked him up and comforted him while I asked the girl on the phone to wait, but the I saw that there was some in his nose and got super nervous and told her that I was going to call her back, called J and was a bit (read: quite a lot) upset on the phone. But Axel got his dummy and stopped crying and the blood stopped as well. It wasn't as much as a nose bleed but still, really flipping scary! I was ready to call the ambulance, but I don't think they would want to come and check out a nose. He is sleeping in his pram now next to me, need to hear him breath now to calm myself down a bit. My lord it's scary when things like this happens, I would be ok if it was a scratch on his arm or something, we could have put a plaster on it and kissed it better, but when it's from the nose aaarrrrrggggggg. I know children hurt themselves, and that there is always a first for everything, I need to get used to this.

Otherwise I think this week has gone super quick with friends visits, chill out on the patio working on my tan with Ax under the umbrella in the shade, had my eyebrows waxed, gone shopping and tomorrow it's Friday with sing and sign and then an afternoon with Ruth, very nice!
Next week is going to be even more busy with me taking out my stupid tooth finally on Monday, then one of my best friends from Sweden is coming with her family on Tuesday to Wednesday, then I'm seeing Jo on Thursday, going to sing and sign on Friday just in time for the weekend again. And the it's almost time to pack for mine and Ax's Sweden trip, can' wait!!!! So we have a well deserved break today which is much needed, the weather isn't too bad either so as soon as Ax wakes up and have some lunch we will move outside in the fresh air, but I think he will have to sit in his inflatable ring so he doesn't fall over again, one fall is enough for one day!
