Well its Thursday of week 12. Sis in law requested a blog so everyone can join in and what a super idea that was!! I am actually surprised I hadn't already done this.
So I am pregnant and living in Sweden. Two things that are new to me.
When SIL Mami was pregnant, I really got to see alot of how things go in the states, not to mention the 500 or so TV shows about it. But here, I have been a little nervous about doctors, medicines, and just the general goings on of things medically. So far, I have had absolutely nothing to worry about. The specialist I had before conceiving and until last week was amazing. And I just met my midwife yesterday and she seems to be pretty fantastic as well!!
One thing that's super about Sweden is that almost everyone under the age of 60 speaks English, even if its only a little. Most people under 50 though, speak English very well. I am so happy to be able to communicate with doctors and nurses, etc. I am learning Swedish too, but I think I would have a breakdown if I couldn't speak English on the important stuff!!
I hope everyone that reads my blog enjoys it and maybe learns a little bit about Sweden and our life here. I will try to update weekly or more and share pictures, too.

Right on! I'm so jealous that I didn't do this with my pregnancies! So baby albums will be a thing of the past with this kind of tech. huh? Well, maybe not, but pretty dern close! We're so excited for you and hope you have a fabulous experience with your pregnancy. I loved mine, once the sickness settled down! So do you get to do the water birth? I would have loved to, but they don't do that here... unless you do the midwife, homebirth or birth center facility route. Well, look forward to reading up as you progress... and don't hold out on the goods lady! Give us some pics!!! Love you! Vila
