Me And Us

At the moment I am working and going to school. I am working with road planning and engineering at the government owned corporation Tieliikelaitos. I am still in the same school, The Swedish Polytechnic, going on my last year trying to finish my studies. Which isn’t all that easy, and I suppose it isn’t meant to be easy either.

Tanja is still at home with Aron, who is growing more and more for each day. He now eats a lot of different fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, rosehip, and soon he will also start eating banana. Tanja is being the best, and most beautiful, mother around, she is so loving and amazing, both with me and Aron. She has really done a wonderful job getting our life as parents going. She is at the moment trying to figure out how she is going to finish her studies. We have been thinking about me taking some days off being home with Aron while Tanja works with her studies, but that would cost us about 60€ for one day, so it takes some thinking over.

Aron can now turn around on his stomach and push himself up, and turn a bit in a circle, but after a while he usually just gets frustrated lying on his stomach. He also, erh… What’s the word used when babys make a blrblrblrblr sound with their tongues and the drool just flies all over the place? Well, that’s what he’s doing at the moment.

It is a different time we are going through in our lives at the moment, going from being on our own to having to be a real family taking care of a small baby. We are still figuring out how much social life we can handle, we try to be out meeting people, visiting people and inviting people over and all these things that we find important, but it also makes one very tired. So some days we just stay at home, because the days go so fast, especially for me it seems. I come home after work at about 5, say hello to the wife and the baby, being a bit silly with the baby. Then we prepare food, and after the food and dishes are done we usually go out, either for a walk or to the town to do some shopping. After that the clock is about 7-8, then we try to meet some people, but sometimes it’s just home for some evening tea and then it’s already time for brushing teeth and stuff.

I always get to bed way too late and then rise way too early in the morning. And that can be hard as I love sleeping.

That’s us. We love you all!

I just want to say that our friends are so important to us, and we think you all are wonderful!

Lot’s of hugs to all of you out there!

It took us the first three years of Benjamin's life, and a new pregnancy, to figure out that our social life had to change and that the pace of family life isn't the same after the kids start arriving. So I think you're off to a really good start!!

I don't know if you want advice or not, men jag vill uppmuntra dig att inte vara blind för eventuella tecken på stress inom familjen, inte skjuta undan det för att du vill behålla samma livsstil som förr. Jag vet inte om det går så för er, förstås, men så gick det för mig, och det tog för lång tid för mig att anpassa mig till situationen och göra någonting åt den.

Barn är underbara. och goda fruar är underbara. Men vet du vad, Mauritz? Det är goda makar också!! Så Gud välsigne DIG i din nya livssituation.
