Waiting patiently in Kortedala

Kortedala

'Cows to the Valley' is what Kor-Te-Dala sounds like it means. It's a nice area to live in Gothenburg, due to the location of it which is on one of the hill top of Gothenburg. So the air is fresher than other parts of this second largest city in Sweden.

What I love mostly about Sweden is that it has such a vast land, yet not highly populated, so even the second biggest city in Sweden has so much greenery in each suburb. Perfect place to be able to go out for a daily walk in to the forest. Not to mention an unimaginable amount of fresh water they have as well.

The air is starting to get cooler again as the autumn weather starts to seep through overlapping the remaining summer weather. But with my pregnancy, I don't feel the cold as much as I would.
Yes, that's right, I'm still pregnant. Still waiting patiently for the little one to enter the world.

So, during the month of August, I've been exploring the forest area of Kortedala and spending most of my time doing my usual routine, yoga, tai chi, meditate.

We have the birth tub installed in our room which I have used once when I felt a strong contraction for half a day. But so far, the little one is still not ready to come out yet. Apparently, what I was experiencing is called prodromal labor.

Sometimes a feeling of frustration does overwhelm me on this waiting period, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and I also believe that the baby determines when he/she wants to enter this world. I just want to be the best mediator/facilitator/provider for the baby to enter this world in the most loving, caring and comfortable way, because I understand that how the baby enters the world really affects the remainder of his/her life.

This is the forest that I normally go to for my daily walk

Walking to the top of the hill one sunny day

I found a cute little bunny hopping around the apartment block and one rainy day, the little bunny was soaked and just sitting outside of the block, so I took her in to stay dry and warm for a couple of days. We named her Trudy.

The fly swatter mushrooms are out, autumn is here!

And last but not least, a picture of me with my belly belly.

So, I have decided that during this waiting period, I won't be updating my blog until the little one enters the world because I don't think there will be anything interesting to publish on the blog. But I truly hope hope that the little one will show an appearance this month.

So, until next time.
