Oh my gosh what a wonderful weekend I've had. It has just been fantastic weather, real summer weather - which we usually don't get until late June. And beeing at my summercabin is the best way to enjoy the warmth with barbequeing, smoothies, bath and R&R.
I feel so unhealthy wonderful and lovefilled I'm sure I'll just pop soon. Calm, happy and relaxed.



I'm not much of a blogger and don't want to throw to much of my personal life into these journals and have deliberately not written much about my pregnancy. But I get tons of questions and note on how I feel so I thought I'd better mention a little about it at least

I must say beeing pregnant is easy, for me anyways. I haven't had any problems what so ever with morning sickness or anything, I guess I'm lucky.
It seems verything in my world is circleing around food and even though I'm eating twice or even triple as much as I'm used to, I haven't gained more than 5 kg (11 pounds) and I'm sure 1/5 of that has ended up in my boobs!
I work like I'm used to and working out two-three times a week and just feel great.

So you see, I can't rant about this - I'm enjoying it too much and (so far) having a really easy pregnancy. Except for when doctor said rest, but 3 days out of 19 weeks aint nothing.

Tomorrow I have appointment for the big ultrasound/scan where I'll get photos of this little project and if they can see, I'm finding out what gender it is as well. Not 100% sure though they'll be albe to tell.

Sweden has a great social insurance system and I don't have to work the last 8-10 weeks and still get paid
Since I have such a heavy job with lifting, dangerous chemicals and noisy/warm workplace the government goes in and pay my salary for the last 2-2.5 months.

But then we pay 30% in taxes also...

So August-September I'll be home from work and hopefully still have energy and feel good.

But if you are too lazy to hit that link, here are two things you outh to know:

• "On the subject of moving deviations, there will be changes coming regarding this. While my team strives to keep the galleries free of misplaced artwork, sometimes we make mistakes and the automated note that is sent by the system is .. harsh and impersonal in our opinion. We are making changes to be able to send more personalized notes that will include information about why the image was moved and what to do if you disagree as well as information about the galleries, so we can have more communication and less slap in the face feelings. As i've said to my team, the action of moving someone's artwork is an unpleasant act, I know because mine has been moved too and it ticked me off We are doing everything we can to make this better, more on that when we have it implemented "


• "If you are a beta tester then you got a fun surprise as we unveiled the beta release of Project Sleek. There is a misunderstanding that this is version 6 when in fact, Project Sleek is merely a component of version 6. If you have feedback about this component, please make sure you put it on the Beta Tester Feedback Forum. We're working hard to iron out the crinkles so we can release this site wide!"
