Blog about work and babies

Good morning! What a night we had..our baby is finally (night 2) learning to sleep in his own bed instead of sleeping next to me, and last night he did sleep until 3.30 am. But what a nightmare after that: screaming and crying for half an hour, which felt like eternity at that time :( Luckily he did go back to sleep after that and I did too. Cannot wait to sleep all night - one of these days, I'm sure :) But I gotta say - I'm one tired mama :D Everytime I'm tired (ok, almost daily), I need to shop. That kinda makes me feel better. I posted about Aarrekid a while ago on February which is a finnish children's clothing brand. They have the cutest clothes for little ones and after this looong winter it's nice to buy new stuff for your little ones. You know, something lighter and brighter. This is definitely something you should look out for if you're in need of new clothes :) Okay, it's time to go outside where it's raining (boring!) and go do grocery...

Hello everyone! Finally, our toddler sleeps in his own bed in his own room :D First night he woke up at 2 am and was crying for daddy but soon fell asleep again, and last night he slept through all night. Yay! I asked him last night where does he wanna sleep, and he said 'in my big boys bed :)'  He just needs a zillion different bed-time stories and a 'story massage' (telling a story and 'writing'/massaging it to his back - it works! Although he still doesn't go to bed until 10 pm but hey - one thing at a time. Family bed was getting a bit too narrow for us all so it's definitely time to have everyone sleeping in their own beds. Except for me and my baby - we sleep right next to each other because it's just easier with those nightly feedings so I don't have to get up. Good sleep is priceless! This weekend our toddler is going to his grandparents house for a sleepover. We definitely get to sleep in and my husband has more time to study. Besid...

Good evening! Hope everyone's had a relaxing weekend. Mine's been just fine, with sunshine and some heat yesterday and then rain today. I even got to go outside today for a little stroll with the baby and toddler - with the new stroller, of course. I love it, it's the best one I've ever purchased!! Both kids slept at the same time and me and my husband had coffee on the terrace while they slept. Perfect :) So this week's been good. Baby sleeps 2-3 hrs every night, then eats, then sleeps again, then eats..and I'm fine with that schedule. As long as I don't need to get up every hour I'm fine - I get to sleep during the day from monday to thursday while our toddler, little L, is at the day care. Not that I ever sleep but it feels good to have that option. Right now all my time goes to planning on the christening party which we're having in august. Food, catering, my clothes..everything. You gotta be early on these things, right? ;) Our toddler is ...

Good morning! We've finally had a good week what comes to sleeping - little L got better from stomach flu that was going on in our family and when he's better, he sleeps like a baby. Apparently I just dont need that much sleep anymore or I'm getting anxious of the new baby (less than 2 months left, yikes!!) but I woke up super early this morning. It wasn't even 6 am... Oh well, now I have more me-time and time to drink coffee :) So week 33 what comes to pregnancy: I just can't believe how fast time has gone. I'll only have 2 more weeks of work left and then it's time to start my maternity leave. Much waited, I'll say. This hasn't been the best spring for me what comes to my health and the fact that we're moving soon (in 3 weeks) I'll say this is a good time to start my leave. Next week will be full of work stuff that really needs to be done and making sure I'll leave all the knowledge at work. I did have a check up this week because ...

Good morning, everyone! It's a sunny morning here in Finland and because of that, I decided to advertise a little bit of Finnish Design Shop  and their cool new ideas for the spring. I love their site - it's super easy to follow and you can find stuff easily but not easy on your wallet ;) They do have on going campaigns and an outlet section where you can find stuff for -20-40% off of normal prices. These pages are available in many other languages, so not just for finnish customers. You can also see some of my favorite stuff from their site on my blog's " Home ideas " -section. So right now I'd like to add some colour to my apartment, and that's easily done & found  here on their site  Inspiration . It's always easier to find something you really like when you can see the whole picture. Birthday party & toddler sleeping sleeping in his own bed So today we're going to attend my niece's birthday party: she turns 18. I had a day ...

I had a chat with my boss today about my work and also about my future with two kids. He told me he has two boys as well and they are only one year apart so it's been quite the show some 20 years ago. That made me wonder how are we really gonna make it? L hasn't quite learned yet how to sleep all night and in his own bed and he's not potty-trained yet. I think these are the biggest concerns I have now. What if the new baby won't sleep either? How will L welcome him in to our family, if at all? Jealousy is one thing I'm worrying about since L is and has been the only one for all his life. Nieces from my side of the family are already all grown up so L always gets all the attention. So these are the questions I'm dealing with right now. What do you think, how could I prepare L for having a little brother (and realizing he wont be the only one very soon)?
