Blog about work and babies

Time flies - I'm almost half way through my pregnancy! We also found out we're having another boy so that kinda makes it more real :) I've been feeling much better, this second trimester sure is the best trimester so I've been able to workout (just a little) and run with my kiddos - not complaining at all :) This has been a busy week at work and this friday I have this super-important seminar (or webinar) coming up for 100 people online so that's kinda scary :) Not only speaking to that many people but the fact my older son had a stomach and is in fact at home with me right now. Luckily, it was a quick bug but let's hope it's not contagious so I wont catch it and then I have to cancel the seminar :( We also had a fun weekend last weekend since I turned 40 (middle-age, here I come!) and my parents had a garden-party for close family. What a nice get-together with kids and adults, and a nice to celebrate my birthday too. And we have another celebration com...

Good evening! Almost done with the week what comes to work and really enjoyed my two days at a seminar. I'll have to write a post about it - conversations during lunch or coffee break are usually very productive. But that'll come later and my thoughts on different views on work when being a stay-at-home mom and new sort of business ideas. But, as the title says, it back to business with strollers. And not any stroller but bugaboo one and especially a donkey one. I keep following conversations on Facebook about Bugaboo strollers and everyone's saying good things about them. Things like they really act like a donkey (side-basket, basket underseat) and they can carry two children (a baby, two babies, a toddler or two toddlers). I already wrote a post about the essentials so I wont go further now. If interested, please look here  (you can easily change to your own language on this Babyshop web-site). So anyway, I keep thinking: do I really need those?...

Good morning! It's always great to wake up after a good nights sleep, and this working I did! Morning coffee and breakfast just for me before heading to work - perfect. I'm attending another work-related seminar today and tomorrow, and it's always great for mingling with people from your area of work. Great speeches, lots of new information on healthcare and social welfare in Finland and good food :) I do need to work on couple of my project plans as well during the seminar, but still..it's nice to have something different during the week instead of always either attending a meeting or working on usual stuff. I also need to go back to see the nurse that checked me on monday for my pregnancy. Just to make sure my contractions were nothing to worry about - like she said, baby needs to stay put and grow much more until he's ready for this world :) I don't thing there's really anything to worry about and I'm sure those contractions happened just becaus...

Good evening! Today I had my pregnancy check up where they checked my blood pressure (normal), my weight (only 4 kg gained so far, yay!) and the size and height of my uterus. I'm glad I haven't gained too much weight yet because of my gestational diabetes - better keep an eye on the weight, and I sure have. What I was a little concerned about are contractions: I've been having those for a couple of days but let's hope they're just for practice and the baby will stay put for at least another..10 weeks? :) Other than that, I've had quite a busy day. Another seminar coming this week and lot's of things due this and next week so those will keep me busy. Shopping Just in case someone's interested in doing some monday-night shopping, Boozt  has a campaign (20% off) on women's , men's and kid's this season's outerwear. This campaign lasts only three days and it's about brands such as Fransa, Diesel, Esprit, Baum und Prefdgarten, Ga...

Good morning you all! Today's a seminar day for me - no working at the office but meeting other people on my field of work. Very exciting! I don't attend seminars that often so when there's one that really interests me and helps me with my work, I'm in :) It's always a great opportunity to get to listen to professionals and maybe ask some questions too that are going on in my mind. Luckily last night went so much better and L actually slept (almost) all night so I feel so much better too. Our bathroom renovation project is also moving forward, and today a plumber is coming to check those pipes I mentioned on my previous post. I just hope those wont be an issue and we can start re-building the bathroom next week already! Okay, that's all I'm gonna write about this time because I need to hurry now. Have a great day, everyone! :)
