She´s leaving without a word....

Last night I found out that one of my loved ones are moved to Larvik. I knew this already, but the thing is that she moves today. something she has not told me.

I'm very happy for her, but it really sucks to get to know these things through someone else.

Now it may be my hormones playing me a little trick, but this news, which would be a positive thing, is negative for me.

She´s not moving to other side of the world, but I know deep down that we are not going to see each other as often as we want, that's probably what makes me most sad.

I will miss you....

Judicial eyes ....

Yesterday I went to buy in some pregnant clothes, but soon found out that there is not so much to choose from in the mother department. So I went into the usual divisions for girls / women to see that if there was anything I could use.

I found some cool stuff, but was surprised by some of the looks people gave me when I browsed through the racks of clothes. I overheard some younger women whispering in a corner.
"Is she really wearing these clothes."

This surprised me.
Why do pregnant women just go in jeans and shirt? Why can not they be allowed to wear some modern clothes if it suits them?

Sometimes people are just ignorant.

In my industry, I meet many people, and some of them are just stupid and ignorant. I have told you that I work in a kitchen equipment store, and many times I wonder if people really can not read or whether they simply are so self-absorbed that they do not bother to see what kind of shop they enter in.

I get so many stupid questions that I will soon have enough to write a book about all the weird customers, and all the weird things they think are in a kitchen equipment store.

I've been asked if we have a shower curtain, electric foot baths, irons, hairdryers and strangest of all was the one who wondered if we had jumper cables to the car.

Outsider in my own town...

Everytime I go into town I feel that I don't belong there, and that everyone knows. I feel that everyone is staring at me and whispering behind my back when I walk past them.
I've had this feeling for as long as I can rembember, and it' s a feeling that just won't go away. I've tried everything, dressing differently, walking differently, even talking differently with no luck shaking that feeling of.

I feel like an outsider in my own town.

This feeling has followed me around Norway aswell, when I went to visit my best friend in Tønsberg, when I went to Hamar to celebrate my uncles birhtday, when I go to Asker where I grew up. It seems like there no place in Norway that I really can relax and lower my shoulders.

But last summer in July I think I found the one place that I feel most at home, just the place I wish I was living. I went to this place with three of my girlfriends and I just fell in LOVE with the place. This town had everything I could think of, a nice quite park, many stores, many places to sit down and enjoy a nice cup of coffee, and it wasn't to expencive there either.
Even though te town is overcrowded I felt alone enoght to wander the streets in my own mind and thoughts. I really could picture myself living there had my living situation been different, had I been singel and not have a kid on the way, I would defenetly consider moving there for a little while to see if it's for me.

I guess you wonder whar place I'm talking about.

Enoying overprotective parents!!

I have worked in a kitchen supply store for a while now and almost every day I get a question that really gets me to roll my eyes. This question is often asked by mothers and grandmothers.

"Is this safe dishes to eat from?" Or "are you sure my child will not get sick from using this? "

Since I am an upcoming Mom, I know that this is something to consider when buying cutlery, plates and cups for your child, but I feel that there is more hysteria than it is harmful.

Here in Norway the goverment is very strickt when it comes to health issues. This means for example that all you can eat from, drink from or contain food should not be bad for you.

Many products now have a symbol like this and it says "BPA free" on it, but not always. If this symbol is not present, it does not mean that there are some harmful ingredient in that product. Over the years I have come to learn that if ingrerdiens not listed, it is not there, and there is no reason for concern.

So every time I get the question about the safety of the child I just wanted to respond to them as "Yes, I sell you a product that can harm the baby if he / she eats food that has touched it!"

24 weeks...

So many thoughts spinning around in my head at this moment.

 I am pregnant for 24 weeks, and now we need to start thinking about what we need for the nursery, what we need of equipment, what kind of stroller that we want, new or used.

 How will I give birth, home, hospital, water, anesthesia or natural!?
Who should be present during the birth!?
There are so many things to be mapped before the baby comes, I am totally confused by all this.

This is my first birth and I do not know how painful it's going to be or what exactly happens during a birth. I know it's not like you see on movies and series.

I just hope that all of this confusion passes soon.

 

 

Finally...

Finally I have a place that I can write down everything that's on my mind.

Pregnancy, life as a mom to be, life as a girlfriend, life at work, life in its entirety. The list can go on and on.

I may have some strong opinions about things, but do not be intimidated by it. It's just an opinion, and it is said that you have the right to freedom of expression.

 If you do not agree with me, tell me.
