This Week: Nostalgia gets the best of me

Sometimes I get lost in memories...
Sometimes I go down to the basement and dig out old baby albums. When I do such a thing, I feel a bit sentimental, and I wonder where all the years went?
Well, you have heard the story before, time and again; A baby is born, she's little and cute, she gets bigger, she's a school girl, she's a tweenie, she's a teenager...*

I will continue my "look back" now, and with that I will take you almost fifteen years back in time.


It was fun being pregnant, at least up to the 33rd week of pregnancy (the pic is from week 30). In the 33rd week all my problems started: pre-term contractions and later on, pre-eclampsia. I was big as house in the very end of my pregnancy...


Karolina is two weeks old in this picture...


This stroller, a Brio Finesse straight from Sweden (gift from my parents), made people here in the US turn their heads. We got so many comments on it that we called it the Cadillac of strollers. Peter is out for a walk with the little one in this picture, and he was proud!


So cute, ten days old!


Around three weeks old...


The first real smile came around the five week mark...It was a lovely sight...


2 months old. On the day!


When Karolina was around 9 weeks old it was time to go to Sweden for the very first time...


Precious little precious little diamond...


Ah, and OHHHH!! So cute! Here is my aunt, my mom and my dad with Karolina.


With her morfar (my dad) at almost three months old. She was moffa's girl from the moment they met.


Exactly three months old, on the dot! At three months, I thought everything turned around. Karolina cried almost every evening while she was a very little baby. She could scream from 19-23. Not so fun, it did not happen every night, but it happened often, the evening crankiness. At three months old it stopped, like magic. It was like turning on a dime, and everything became easier for the whole family
. The three months mark is magical! This is when they turn from infants to babies...


Sleeping like a baby...

And, I hope you have enjoyed this little trip down memory lane. I might continue with the baby pictures some other time in the near future. I so enjoy digging them out.

I hope you will have a great Tuesday!

* All my blogging friends that just had babies; DO enjoy! Time flies way too fast. Try to capture "everything", it is so easy these days with the digital technique. The first three months are a bit rough. It is is not so easy to be a new mom, but everything will fall in to place. Oh it so will!!!
