Pregnancy, Olympics and fanfic!

Clearly I am still home and not at the maternity ward. :-P *sigh* At least I can say Nerd Jr is still moving around in there, so I take that as a good sign that the little one is doing good still. :-) I just wish she/he could decide to join us out here instead. :-P

Yesterday we took it real easy here, not doing much at all. Well, we went shopping for food a bit. And for diapers and such for Nerd Jr. Was the last thing needed really. But after that, we didn't do much. I have this nap-craving every day, and yesterday I was SO TIRED all day! Damn annoying, but what can you do? So I took a long nap in the middle of the day.

Today though we visited my MIL, peting73s mom. :-) She had found a nice recipe for a meat stew with wine and lots of spices and such in it. And she wanted us to come over and try it out, so we did. :-) And OMG! It was DELICIOUS, I tell you! SO GOOD! All the alcohol in the wine had all evaporated, so it was just the lovely taste of the wine left. YUM, YUM, I tell you! :-D

Then we stayed there for about four or five hours. She'd found some old baby-clothes from when SHE and her sister were kids! Like in the mid to late 1950's. Old, but very nice clothing! She'd picked out the stuff that was still really good, like a couple of white cotton shirts with lace on them. SO cute! And some sheets for the cradle and the crib bed. :-) With lace and embroideries on them. :-) Gorgeous stuff!

Nerd Jr is going to be my MIL's one and only grandchild, since peting73 is an only child himself. And he is 38 years old already, so I think she'd given up hope on him. :-) Making Nerd Jr a true gift for her. My mom had probably given up hope on me to, but my brother has two GORGEOUS kids, so she is already a grandma to them. I am so very very happy not only for US! Nerd Jr is a true gift for us to after all we've gone through to make sure she/he can join us... but a true gift for peting73s mom as well. :-) She'll be one AWESOME grandma, I am sure!

Right, so enough talk about Nerd Jr! :-D Some Olympics perhaps? Haven't written much about that. :-)

Anyone watching the Olympics? I don't watch it THAT actively. I mean, sure. The TV is on and it runs there, but... Yeah. I don't watch it that much. i check the website and check how many medals each country has managed to collect, but that is pretty much it. For the record, China and the US seems to be bloody unbeatable... o.O DAMN that is a lot of gold medals the athletes of those two countries have collected! I am glad Great Britain have collected quite the bunch to, considering they are hosting the games. :-)

There was quite the thrill for a Swedish athlete yesterday though! We have better athletes for the winter games, not so surprisingly... But yesterday during the Women's Triathlon... there was quite the thrill! o.O We had the TV running while doing other stuff, and all of a sudden peting73 got all excited in front of the TV! And the finish was QUITE exciting to watch! :-D They were running pretty much side to side the Swedish girl and the Swiss girl, so the judges and such had to consult photos and computers to decide who the winner was! It was SOOOO CLOSE! In the end though, the Swedish girl got the silver. :-)

And then today? Today the Swedish athletes got their first gold! :-D In sailing! Men's Star Sailing, no less! :-D I guess it is the old viking blood that runs true... *lol* ;-)

We'll get back to you during the Winter Olympics... I bet our athletes then will take more medals. ;-)

Oh, oh, oh!!! Have a shameless self-pimp!

If you are a Tokio Hotel fan? I HIGHLY suggest you check out the fanfic me and snowstormskies have worked for... well, ages it feels like. :-P We have just started posting it! :-D Three chapters so far. It is a HUGE fanfic, so... I hope some more would be curious and want to check it out. :-) We nick-named the fanfic The Hydra, because it pretty much work like the legendary creature... the more you try to cut it down...? The more heads it grows. *lol* The final name though ended up being Let us hear you, let us feel you... and it's a threesome BDSM story. :-)
