Here it starts!

So after some serious consideration: I mean I am against everything nowadays being on the internet and therefore available to everyone on this planet; and my hope was for you to have your own beautiful book ( I already have purchased it) then I would write musings to you and fill it with lovely pictures... but somehow time is running so fast and since you are now 23 weeks in my stomach I better get a move on. Therefore I started yet another blog with the hope that I will still have time to create the book for you. To be honest you will probably have been born before I even have a chance to start it!

I have to be honest I was never a "baby" person, I can see that babies are cute, but no I have always preferred little puppies, baby monkeys, well most babies from the animal kingdom. Friends and especially your dad, was worried and thought it would never happen for me. But something in me changed, the day I found out about you. You changed me for the better and I really hope that I will have a chance to get to know you. That we will explore the world together and hopefully you will turn out to be someone who makes a difference to the world.

For years I have been wanting to leave London. Actually my hope has always been to settle down by the sea, have children who will have the same happy childhood as I had; Living in harmony with nature, animals and being free. Calling to me: I am going out! then slamming the door and running down to meet friends by the beach, just like I did and still do when I am home! I want you to grow up with honest values, a clear vision of how the world can change for the better, and to live in the outside. Learn how to sail, surf, ski, climb, - well, just live in nature and do all my favourite things. I promise if I am still here with you that I will teach you everything I know and I will take you camping as soon as I possibly can.

Oh, how I have missed it. I have not done many of those things for years, London does that to you. I almost forgot that you can live like that. But then, when I travelled around the world last year, I did it all again. And I realized that is what makes me the happiest. Being outside.
You probably wonder why I have stayed here for so long, the answer is your dad. He does not want to leave. I am sure that he is afraid of change and that is the real reason. Little Gu: change is important. That is how we evolve. That is how we stretch our life - by experiencing new things, remember that. Change is very scary, of course it is - as it is something that can not be predicted, and you will never know how it will turn out. But I can assure that whenever I have changed my life, it has always turned out for the better. Most of the time it takes a while to realize that though.
Anyway, I will stop for now and leave you with some pictures from my new life with you in my tummy.
These are taken the first time we went to Stockholm, to go to Mama Mia to see you for the first time. It was incredibly moving. I was so proud of how you already had my energy and would not stop moving! I felt so blessed for you and also as my best friend Mrs L managed to get her daughter Amanda into the world. She was born two days before we arrived ( I had been praying for it) so  we were the first to meet her apart from her parents of course. It created something really special for us and I hope that you will have just as much fun with her as I have had with her mum.


 In my favourite tone of blue


We are the happiest we have ever been. We feel so lucky and each day, I count my blessings.


It was such a special time. The sun was out everyday making cold Stockholm more beautiful than ever.



Maggi blooming in Rosendahs. ( with her little one which is meant to be born tomorrow!! wow)


Ridiculous behaviour. Never become like this!


Little Amanda four days old.


This is where you will spend a lot time if I get to choose: Rosendahls trädgård in Stockholm.


Some of my favourite people,


Before we went out for brunch with Lina and Ben to tell them about you.



Your amazing dad, having his first barbecued bananas with chocolate ever!!
