Sharing the childbirth with the world

 Jag följer några mammabloggar, mammor som kort och gott bloggar om livet som mamma. Vad som verkar vara ett måste är att skriva en lång och utförlig text om hur deras barn kom till världen. Förlosningsberättelserna är detaljerade, otäckt närgångna och kan få den modigaste att hissna. Detta är iof ingen regelrätt mammablogg, men jag är en mamma som bloggar som tydligen också har ett behov att publicera min förlossningsberättelse/illustration.



I follow a few mama blogs and what they all have in common are their childbirth stories. No details spared I can tell you. Sometimes even divided into two or three different parts. Gory stories which can scare the most bravest to death. This is not a mama blog, but I a mama who is blogging and therefore it seems that even I have a need to share my childbirth experience, at least a short summary.
  • Contractions = hug the pillow hard and try to sleep
  • Driving through Prague lunch-time close to Christmas can make you a little stressed
  • Wide open and reaching the hospital according to the concept JIT (just-in-time)
  • A whole army of midwives & doctors in all ages and shapes (majority only Czech speaking)
  • Mamma Mia ( I know so many bad words and this was my chance to use them ALL, but I choose an old fashion Italian expression!?)
  • Old grumpy midwife laying on me and I am trying to push her off me ( even more grumpy..)
  • Asking to forget the whole thing and to go home (my serious request denied with laughter)
  • Husband extra ordinary support a la sport commentator (I did hear and remember everything you promised)
  • "Tell her to close the mouth and to push otherwise the baby will never come out.."( same grumpy midwife)
  • "I told you it wasn't that bad " (young doctor, what the hell does he knows about pain?)
  • Hospital food and roommates over all expectations

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother...

Weekly update 38/52 Örebro Autumn market in summer sun

  It was exciting to participate at my first market being back in Örebro, Sweden. It was an Autumn market in the beautiful setting of Karlslund Estate in Örebro. Most exhibitor were selling locally grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Also jams, marmelades, bakeries and cheeses. It was a sunny beautiful day and it attracted a lot of people. It was fun to finally again set up my display and show my products. The market stand/table I rented from the organizer and it was perfect size and cute. My best-sellers were my hats in smaller sizes. Amd to next market I need to make more fleece-lined hats since it gets cooler here in Swedem during the winter.
