New flea market found and a tip of the day

It's new week again, and baby and I went for a walk to a somewhat nearby flea market. I have to say, I was (or went to) in heaven!! So many good quality baby clothes for such a low price - I dont see the point in paying lots of money for baby clothes since the baby will wear them for such a short time. And I'm talking about 20 cents per piece :) And I also found a sling to carry my baby which I really needed. My baby sleeps ok in the stroller but since he was born prematurely he loves to cuddle and stay really close to me so I had to buy one. And again, for a bargain price of 5€ :) Normal price is somewhere 50-60€ so I did great!

Other than that, we've been getting to know the baby: meaning, we've been staying at home a lot, taking naps together, going for walks..just the way I wanted. Nothing too stressful for anyone.

Tip of the day

My mom brought me a new copy of this finnish baby Magazine "Vauva" (which is baby in finnish). So they had some tips for travelling with kids and the best one I found was that when you go to the beach, put all the valuable stuff (wallet, rings, cell phone etc.) in a diaper (clean one!!) and seal it - no ones gonna steal a used diaper ;) How convenient, plus you wont need another bag for your valuables.

That being said, have a great week!

Pregnancy week 35: maternity leave just began

Image
Good morning, everyone! What a beautiful morning it is! It's nice and sunny here in Helsinki - can't believe this is the last week we'll live in this house. We're moving a week from tomorrow, how exciting! My maternity leave also just started and now I'm going on week 35 on my pregnancy. This week I'll have a doctor's appointment - last one before labor, yikes!! It all seems more and more real now, and it's very exciting (and scary, too, in someway) to realize our baby can be here any time now. I'm ready - as long as our moving process is near the end after next week ;) Easywalker Duo Now I have time to think (again) about the stroller. Can't decide what to do: I'm leaning towards the double stroller, maybe a Mountain Buggy Duet, but that's still a bit too expensive for me since I'm not sure how long I'd be using it. 700€ for a used one is a bit on the expensive side if you ask me, and that's what they've been asking

Spring is on its way!

 Hey there! Time sure flies as I realized it's been a while since I wrote here last time which was in december ;) Oh well, after all the fluseason and darkseason here up north, I feel like I'm finally starting to feel more energetic. Spring is on its way! I started on a new job last october and I just that was more than 4 months ago :) This new job is totally different compared to my old job so there's been a lot of studying - after work as well but absolutely at work. All the programs and just the culture; the way people act at work and what approriate and what's not requires some learning. I've also taken courses and actually got my IPMA-C program management certification the other day. Very rewarding to see the results! So far I'm liking this job a lot and mostly I think it's because I don't know anything about it ;) No I mean, this learning new stuff -phase is great. Me like it a lot :) Other than that, we're still separated - my spouse and I tha

Baby's due date, thinking about new baby gear and other stuff

Image
Good morning! Baby's due date is here - and he's almost 4 weeks old :) Things are going well, although little L got really sick on wednesday nite and we had a few rough nites because of that. I'm fine with my 3 hour sleep but when I don't get that, I'm exhausted. I mean, baby sleeps 3 hrs in a row which is just fine, then eats and sleeps again but big brother kept waking up every hour. He had ear infection (again) and high fewer. He seems better today so let's keep our fingers crossed. He hasn't eaten anything for days but finally had breakfast this morning so it looks promising. I hate when my babies are sick :( Baby gear Yes, my favorite topic :) Here's a picture of my stroller, Easywalker Duo, which I bought as a used one, and I just love them :) Very sturdy, yet not too heavy to push even with two kids, the baby basket is big enough and at least my baby sleeps there almost too well. And all that for 220€ so I can't complain! My bag hangs in
