A trip to the Mother Land

Right now I've got two loads of laundry going, two bags spread out on the bed and a very impatient dog pacing through the house. Tomorrow morning we're heading to Sweden to spend a week with the family. I feel unbelievably fortunate to be able to see them as often as we do, there was a time not too long ago when once a year was all we could manage.

Most of the family, except Mamma, Pappa and Sister & Co, believes we're coming home to do our second round of IVF. This Saturday we have planned a big family dinner to reveal or "little secret" and I can't wait to see their faces! Promise to tell you all about it when we get back.

Now I better take my pooch for a walk before he creates a pacing path in the wooden floor.

Aloha :)

  6. OMG, you haven't told them?!?! I had NO idea! How have you kept it a secret? Even if I hadn't told everyone about our IVF, I am already looking like I am Prego. Women can tell almost without fail...not as many men. Anywho, I am excited for your trip!! And I can't wait to hear reactions from your family!!!

  23. Dear CP, how was your trip? And what was it like to be with your sister? Still 'two peas in, well, two pods'? I'm trying to imagine the opposite of grey and heavy, so I'm hoping light and colorful for you.
