35 weeks and counting.....

Well here is the peanut! At 35 weeks she is a whopping 6lbs give or take 30%

Face Shot

looking at htis I would say she looks just like her brother and sister when they were born

Profile Shot!

My other kids were born at 39 weeks and Lauren came in at 8lbs even and Jackson was 10lbs 2ozs yes he was delivered vaginally.

Not sure what to expect of this one yet. I am not all over huge like I was with Jackson yet I am not small like I was with Lauren. I guess only time will tell.

I am feeling very tired these days and being on my feet or sitting at a desk for any length of time is killing me because I am so uncomfortable. While I would love to have this baby soon I want her to cook a little longer because I have a plan and those that know me know I don't like to have my plans messed up. I have written about our summer nanny who was our former Aupair, and she has been wonderful with the kids. Since she is from New Zealand she lives with us during the summer. She will be here through the 18th of Sept which is the way I planned it based on my original due date of Sept 3rd. The goal was to have some help here for the first couple of weeks, then be on my own. While it has been wonderful having Abby here and she has been a big help there is something about having someone in your home for an extended period of time that can get on your nerves. Abby is like family, but she isn't and I am ready to reclaim my house and not have to be cheery if I don't feel like it. I know, you can say it I am a mean person. Really I am just a frank person who doesn't pull punches which has gotten me in trouble from time to time.

La isla bonita...sticky & sweet

Baby Shower...I mean "Sprinkle"

I have incredible friends!

So Saturday I was thrown a surprise baby "sprinkle" Being this is my 3rd baby a full blow shower was not in order! However I think it was more of a downpour because my girlfriends were all so so generous. Just look at the stack of gifts in front of me. It was a wonderful afternoon full of fun, food, laughs and good times. My dearest closet friend Magin came armed with her camera and took a ton of photos some of which I will cherish forever. She is super talented and owns her own photography business so if you are in the DC metro area and you are in need of a photographer look her up!

I am finally starting to feel ready for our new addition and I can't wait to meet her!

If you need new sheets ....I have the sheets for you!

I am a huge fan of my bed I know who isn't right? Whenever I go away on business or pleasure I am constantly critiquing the bed and the bed linens, I have even gone so far as to purchase the same products used on beds I dub as comfortable in an effort to recreate the sleep experience I have had.

Well, when I was given the opportunity to try out the Tempur-Pedic Egyptian Cotton 420 Thread Count sheets, I jumped at the opportunity! So last week I washed the new linens and put them on my bed, from the time I touched them for the first time out of the package I was sold. They felt soft and silky before they had even had one wash. I washed them in my favorite tide fragrance (Tide® Simple Pleasures™ Vanilla) and put them on my bed one Saturday afternoon. I must say this was one of the first times that while making the bed I wasn't grumbling about the wrestling moves needed to put the sheets on my King sized bed, because there was no need for those moves. Which of course I was happy about since I am 8 months pregnant. The fitted sheets have deep pockets which allow for an easy fit but not so easy that the corners work their way free after a couple of nights. Tempur-Pedic was smart about their design and placed an anchor of sorts so there is never any slippage! Check it out above!

My first night on these sheets were heavenly! Some sheets can be scratchy even after several washings these were not, my kids and even my husband commented on how comfy our bed was. So comfy in fact that I think it is time to replace my back up sheets with other colors from the Tempur-Pedic line. Check out the colors that are available to you.

If you are in the market for new sheets I highly recommend that you check out Tempur-Pedic's website, they have other great products there that you might be interested in as well.

Glamour & scandinavian style

A few month ago I was stopped by photographer Hilde Holta-Lysell for Glamour magazine. She was taking streetstyle pics for the scandinavian issue of Glamour magazine, and I was asked to join.

33 weeks belly shots

Seems that my blogger account has been doing some funky things I noticed there was a post yesterday that should have posted about 2 weeks ago!

So here I am at 33 weeks I have blossomed as someone at work told me, but honestly I am about done. I am uncomfortable, unable to sleep and tired of all my bodily functions. (to be graphic, the leaking boobs and the constipation are killing me)

Me from the side 33 weeks

Me from the front 33 weeks

So of you have asked so here are pictures of the babies room thus far I still have a ways to go but I am trying to hold off because I have been told by more than one person wait. Which for those that really know me know that is not something I do well, when I want something done I want it done.

The Changing table all ready to go

The Crib with the bedding all washed and waiting for her

In this picture you get an idea of the room I need to hang some stuff on the walls and I have a glider coming from a friend of mine that no longer needs it, so that will go between the dresser and the crib.

Dusty Keyboard

I have been a bit busy and maybe even a bit lazy in the last few weeks. Shame on me as the Catholic nuns use to say to me. Let me bring you up to speed!

First Abby our former Au pair arrived in mid June and has been a huge help to us with the kids and around the house. I took her arrival as my chance to try and catch up at work so for her first 2 weeks I logged some long hours. last week we went on vacation to LBI NJ had a blast and thankfully had great weather as well.

I have finally started to get the baby's room in order. The crib is put together and I ordered the bedding yesterday. I finally bought a few more outfits and I am very excited to meet my best friend for dinner Saturday first and foremost to catch up and second because she has a ton of stuff which will put my mind and my wallet at ease :) Love you Magin!

I have tons of blog topics running around in my head so I need to write them all down and start posting!

Tomorrow's post will be our beach vacation photos!

I'll be dropping by soon!

Rock on...

I have been looking for shoe buckes for my ELISANERO boots for a long time...

I lost the buckles I had on a Mickey Avalon-concert in London a few years ago, and haven´t worn the shoes since. But after a quick stop at Bodymap last week, my boots are back on...
spiked buckles from Bodymap, Arkaden, kr 249.......

Do It Yourself today!!!

Im back from the Quart-festival, did an interview with Fergie and Taboo from the Black Eyed peas. Was wearing my customized pair of shorts, and my boots with new studded buckles(will post them later...)my customized pair of shorts with white leather details on my left pocket...
Do it yourself today! Easy peasy: all you need is a pair of shorts or pants you can cut off; a piece of leather, scissors, needel and a sewing kit.

summer of silver

Don`t know if its only me, but I have a few pieces I only wear summertime, and this necklace is one of those... Bought it in L.A a few years ago. Im totally a silvergirl, and I think that goes better to my blonde hair, and skin than gold. anyways. Pretty hot in Oslo these days, and I have been spending time after work on an island 5 minutes away from town with boat.
