Congrats. I also had a blue baby with the cord around her neck in May: http://www.swedishamericanmamma.com/2011/06/baby-ls-birth-story.html

I don't use real names on my blog either so feel free to come take a look at how I do.

Glad everyone is healthy now (and hope the baby keeps sleeping - mine decided to quit at 3 months and is now up 2 or 3 times a night).

Good luck to you, too! :)

Good luck to you, too! :)

Good luck!

Wow. I am impressed. I am actually also totally jealous. I wish I could find a co-sleeper here. I did decide I might have to make a changing pad to meet my personal/American specs. I am not into the Swedish ones. It never occurred to me to (get my husband to) make a co-sleeper!

I only have a few more weeks left, too!

Adorable!

Thanks Ging, I saw all the sweet things you made for Fern's birthday...SO cute! Luckily crocheting has been the perfect companion to sitting around on the sofa and waiting out long boat rides :) Miss you!

2011-07-07T15:49:25.157+02:00

Oh my god.....love this stuff. I can't get over the fact that he made you a co-sleeper. M is a keeper. And I love your mobile and blanket. lucky kid! I've been getting crafty lately myself and I looove it. I was too lethargic during pregnancy to do such things as you know. Consider yourself lucky!!!! And that is going to be one lucky kiddo!

2011-06-09T18:02:21.033+02:00

Anthro...I know, I seem to be stuck at a stage where I can't really express myself past the level of a 4-year-old. It's getting old.

Wendy, I knew it was hard but I didn't realize it was one of the most difficult, that cheers me up! Thanks for the encouragement!

I was watching a show recently and they sad that Swedish is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Pat yourself on the back!! It is a HUGE accomplishment that you've done as well as you have!!!! : )

2011-06-09T16:10:05.184+02:00

I'm totally with you. Spanish is fun! Swedish...is not as fun. My Swedish is fine but I actually am speaking it less and less often since I just hate not being able to express myself like I can in English. Of course I don't want to lose my Swedish, either, so it's a dilemma.

2011-05-23T08:05:52.452+02:00

Ky, believe it or not, your name actually means "the chill" in Swedish. So although you wouldn't find it at the name keychain kiosk you could probably find it on a refrigerator manual or something...I'll keep an eye out for ya ;)

2011-05-21T03:42:09.293+02:00

Is there a "Kylan" name day? It would be like visiting those keychain kiosks in the mall and *actually* finding my name. Just thought I'd check.

2011-05-20T20:22:50.229+02:00

My husbands name day happens to fall on my birthday and my MIL thinks that is just the greatest thing since sliced bread. But like you I do not really get why it is a big deal, my name though does not have a name day so I guess it is good that his is on my birthday he will always get to have cake!!

Yay Hetra, I'm so glad you like my blog and it's nice to know that people I know in real life are reading it too :) Miss you guys...hope you can come to Sweden someday! xoxo

First of all, I'm thrilled that I have figured out how to not only follow your blog, but also comment on it. It's only taken over a year--good think I don't run an online business. Anyway, this post is absolutely hilarious! And yeah--barf--ketchup on pasta--ich!

2011-04-18T20:56:03.953+02:00

This a post I could have written, my husband however will add mustard to the whole ketchup on spaghetti noodles thing. So gross I cannot handle it. I have however converted him to the salsa and eggs are perfect matches thing. Also when I first moved to Sweden I also made spaghetti sauce which my husband was very suspicious of!

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine! I don...

2011-04-10T14:53:20.980+02:00

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine! I don't blame you for not adding up the expenses, just get it over with and forget it! ;)

2011-04-09T10:20:39.163+02:00

Congratulations! Totally awesome and well done!

Wish me luck next week with my own tests! I don't plan to add up the expenses, though. We also bought a bunch of CD-ROMs and online site subscriptions and I had to pay a bunch to get a Swedish ID and of course there were TWO of us taking all the courses/tests/lessons. Too depressing to calculate. :)

I stumbled across your blog and thought I'd leave a comment. I also added your blog to my list of blogging expats in Sweden.

I know, cursing is tricky in a foreign language!

Altho I've never heard anyone say tjurskit before, I'm going to be on the lookout for it.

I was amazed myself when I saw that Jamie Oliver programme filmed in the US, where the kids weren't allowed to use knife and fork for some reason.

Ky, he bought a boat with his brother and they're going to start their own company called Vixen Seatransport (www.vixensjotransport.se). I designed their website but it's all in Swedish...you can see a photo of their new boat at least. Two thumbs up for badass boat building boyfriends!
