4½ weeks to go

I have no idea why this picture is so blurry (but I blame it all on Matts who took the picture). This is, blurry or not, my big belly at the moment. It is kind of getting in my way when I want to tie my shoes (one disadvantage with winter and snow - I cannot go outside in flippers), when I fight to get my compression stockings on in the morning and off in the evening and when I want to reach that cup of tea (and the cookie that comes along with it) on the living room table while sitting in the sofa. But apart from those minor things it's quite alright at the moment.

Delivery date is coming closer and after this weekend when we went to Oskarshamn for a short visit we are more prepared than ever. In the car we brought back a baby bed with mattress, a baby chair and a backpack for carrying a baby (though these two items we won't be needing in the beginning), all from Matts' sister with family, as well as a bag filled with baby clothes, both home made and bought as well as another, giant bag, filled with bed linens and stuff from my mother-in-law. What we forgot was the baby car seat so we don't know how we'll make it back home from the hospital yet...
