Blog about work and babies

Good morning! I've been up since 5.50 am, thanks to the fact our baby/little toddler finally learned to sleep in his own bed (yay!) so I sleep really well now, too. No more tossing and turning in the night and wake up super tired in the morning. This is awesome! A little over a year ago I posted a blog about our older child and how he didn't sleep that well so we had to go through a sleeping school . Well, that worked for some time (he was 11 months when we went to sleeping school) but he went back to his old, bad habits of not sleeping at night when he was around 1,5-2 year old. So that's why I was a bit worried of how I'd cope with it with a new baby but it turned out babies can be totally different. Our little guy, aka baby, learned to sleep in his own bed, from 9pm-6am in just 3 nights!! I'm still a bit surprised, in a good way of course, that how easily that transformation from sleeping in our bed to sleeping through the night in his own bed went. I think ...

Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a while since I wrote last time. No, I didn't have a huge new years party ;) Instead, I've just been so busy with my little ones. My older son had a 2 week xmas break from his day care center and boy - it is work to entertain a toddler, especially if he's used to having different activities every day :) No, going to the park isn't enough and to be honest, we didn't get out of the house for few days because of those few horrible cold days. I mean, -20 degrees outside..not fun at all. Anyway, we did it and now my toddler is back at day care - half day until march and this works just fine. So I'm glad we're back to our normal routine: waking up early in the morning, having lunch on time, playing outside several times a day, seeing (toddler)friends etc. Routine helps to get through the day, I'll say :) Usually my baby, now 6 months already, sleeps really really well. I mean, 3-4 hrs in a row and that's just fine with ...

Today I'm introducing you a new French online store called LaRedoute . It delivers orders to over 150 countries (for free when your order is at least 89€) and they have brands such as Esprit, Pepe Jeans, Clarks and Numph in their selection. Mainly their products are clothes and homeware. Always nice to have new options when it comes to shopping online! :) Today's been a weird day with the baby. He usually falls asleep again at 10 am after feeding him but today he just didn't wanna go to sleep - not until 12 pm. It's funny how fast their schedule changes: he's 3 weeks old today and he's already staying up longer periods compared to only last week. That's when he fell asleep almost as soon as he had eaten. I do have to say he sleeps longer periods during the night which is absolutely fabulous :) I need to sleep too :) Today we also got new furniture to our front-yard. Yay for that! It's so much nicer to have proper seating area when having guests, or j...

Good morning (or afternoon, I may say)!! What a great way to wake up after a somewhat good night sleep :) We had a rough night with little L because when he goes to sleep, he always needs his mommy to tuck him in - and now I'm sort of occupied with the baby and I don't have enough time to do that. I feel so bad and he gets so sad and mad at the same time. Luckily he fell asleep in his own bed and slept through the night. This constant guilt is killing me :( Well, I guess it just takes time. For today, I have some discount codes for you to share if you're interested - from travelling to shopping. Some of these are in Finnish only - sorry about that: Easyloma (travelling) Lisäalennnusta lapsista 100€ Easyloman matkoilla lapset matkustavat aina edullisesti.

Hello everyone! What a night we had..L woke up at 4 am, crying and wanting to have milk. Not sure exactly what he had or if it was just a nightmare, but I god - I'm so tired!! It usually takes up to 1 hour before he goes back to sleep and that's a bit too much for us parents: we're exhausted in the morning. Strong coffee all day long - that's how we cope :) Baby gear..and talking about strollers, again My blog is mainly about baby gear because I'm a huge fan of everything concerning those little ones. You've probably noticed that already ;) Strollers, baby clothes, accessories, bags, even breastpumps - I get really excited of those! I actually sold my used Phil&Teds Sport -stroller yesterday so now I really get to have a new one. Why I sold them after I really wanted them in..february? I realized I wont need them because L is getting bigger and bigger each day (yes, surprise) and what we really need is a sturdy, Emmaljunga or Brio -kind of 4-wheeled s...

Almost weekend and yes, I've been waiting for it all week :) Seems like one of those weeks when it takes forever it to be over. Little L is still a bit sick (stomach flu) - we took him to day care today but they called two hours later to come and pick him up earlier. Let's hope it'll be over soon and we'll have a healthy weekend. I only have three more weeks of work left before my maternity leave begins. Can't believe we're so close to that - this spring has gone by so fast! I really cant wait this upcoming move be over and the meeting our second son. I try not to stress about every little thing that's still left to buy (those strollers!!) It's funny, to be honest, on my last pregnancy I had everything done by the time I was 20 weeks pregnant. This time, not so much. Honestly, I cant always keep track on which pregnancy week I'm on :) But I do know my due date and that's enough for now! Anyone else feeling the same with their second (or third) ...

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...
