TGIF!

It's been a trying week for me mentally, and I'm so happy it's Friday now. Juudit has been throwing tantrums on daytime and having night terrors at nights, so I've been exhausted. Last night, however, she slept soundly all through the night, so I'm not tired today and have immediately felt a little better.

We were supposed to go and meet one nanny candidate yesterday, but the family at whose house the nanny would take care of the kids (in addition to Juudit one girl her age and her little brother, who's just turned 1) was down with a flu and fever, so we didn't want to go. I had been hoping Juudit would've been there already today (partly with me present) trying it out, but no - it's been another mummy-daughter day for us. Oh joy. LOL It's been okay, even though she's still not napping. We have snow now, so she loved it outdoors (unlike her mummy), and even though I had thought we would visit the local library, she was so happy playing in the snow, I decided we could go some other day.

Karlo will be home from work soon, but he might go out tonight as they'll hold "varpajaiset" for one of his friends. It means a party for a fresh daddy. :) I don't know if there is a word/tradition for that in English (speaking world), but here, when there's a newcomer in a man's family, his friends take him out to drink Scotch and smoke cigars. :) Karlo might got there tonight after we have gotten Juudit to bed, and even though I would love to spend the evening with him, I'm also okay with being on my own (as long as Juudit will sleep).

I'm looking forward to a TV show premiere that will be on tonight. I'm talking about a British TV show called The Street. It's the first season, but I really think both Karlo and I are going to love the show, as we love British TV in general, and this show has many features we tend to like. It sounds a bit similar to for example Clocking Off and Sorted.

I think tomorrow will be a very laid-back day, but I'm just happy Karlo will be here to share the household duties and taking care of Juudit. Maybe I'll visit the library on my own. On Sunday I've made plans to go once again to see a film (either Rachel Getting Married or Un conte de Noël) and to have lunch with one of my girlfriends. Really looking forward to that!

I was to a check-up at the maternity clinic yesterday, and there was some protein in my urine sample, which could mean I'm getting pre-eclampsia once again. Luckily my blood pressure is still low, so it's most likely just some infection, but I have to go to a lab to make sure. It would be horrible to get the pre-eclampsia this time, as it might mean I would have to stay in a hospital for a long time - separated from Juudit. It wasn't a picnic the last time, either, but at least I didn't have any children yet back then.

Other than that all was well with me and Bumpie. In a week I'll be in my third trimester, yay!

Have a good weekend, everybody!
