ALIVE!!! And all over the place...

[kseenaa]

I am alive! I promise! Hard to believe, I know. Since I am behind on EVERYTHING! ARGH! But I am.

Alexandra sure has kept us busy during the evenings lately. In one way I am happy peting73 now work day times, since then I get help dealing with her, but geezes girl! o.O She refuses to fall asleep! It is damn impossible! And if we try to put her to bed, or lay her down in our laps she just cries and screams and cries... *sigh* Around 11pm. After some more food. THEN she falls asleep, exhausted. I wonder what this thing of hers is lately... Seriously... Gladly she still sleeps until morning, so at least that is a small favor. :-P

I've managed to fix ALL the Christmas gifts! WOHOO! As long as they get mailed here... :-P I won two auctions from the same person 3d of December... paid them to. And he has still to send them to me. WTF??? I checked to. He has good feedback to, so I don't know what is going on there... Tried to call him today, but the line was busy. :-/ Annoying. Those two are the last gifts to get here and get wrapped. :-P

Oh, and to top it off? I got my first menstrual cramps from HELL yesterday since I got pregnant! ARGH!!! And here I thought getting pregnant and getting a kid would make sure my Endometriosis would be lighter and easier to deal with... HA HA HA HA!!! Apparently not. Fuck. Eating strong painmeds and I do have a Doc-appointment on Monday. If I can get back on the pill or get a intrauterine device with hormones, then that would help. I've heard it has helped others, and I know going on the pill helps tons. I just wanna do a checkup first to see what damage is done on my insides after the pregnancy and if I have new cysts spreading around in there or not... :-P

Fun times all around.

I actually am a lot happier then it looks here. :-) I LOVE Christmas, and have put up my Santa-army all over the apartment, and some Christmas angels to. :-) It looks wonderful. There's plenty snow to, which is just AWESOME! It came a lot of snow and it became REALLY cold very fast this winter so that was awesome!

And the most awesome, most amazing, most magical thing of all....

Ella-Bella, my wonderful globe trotting cousin is coming home this Christmas! :-D I haven't seen her in FOUR YEARS, people! :-D I am so happy about this, you wouldn't believe! FOUR YEARS!!! Oh GOSH! I have bought her a very sweet gift, but the biggest gift is just to be able to meet each other, and for her to meet Alexandra for the first time! *excited*

On a fandom note, me and snowstormskies have worked on and we've posted and discussed Let Us Hear You, Let Us Feel You (also athydrafics). We don't have many readers on it, but the readers we DO have are quite faithful, I'd say. :-) Such LOVELY reviews and comments we get on it. So, if any of you readers are here... THANK YOU!!! Your comments are worth sooo much to us! There we go for pretty much writing a fanfic with the rarest pairing in the fandom.... *lol* Oh well. :-) We wrote what we wanted to read, so there. :-D

Also, they'll be late, but I'll make a post about Christmas-cards (with added candy) after this post... so if you want Swedish candy, let me know in my next post! :-D

As always, if you wanna stalk me, you can find me on my Twitter and on my Plurk at all times. ;-)

I'm sorry that she isn't going to sleep until late! Verlina is the opposite now. She goes to bed around 7:30/8pm and then wakes up at 6am every morning, even if we keep her up until 8:30/9 and have her run around and get crazy. 6am. NO! I'm a night owl, not a morning person! Lol. Babies go through crayz sleep cycles though, wish there was a solution though! Lol.

I have to go through everything I have for everyone & do my last minute shopping SAturday. Eep! Not looking forward to it, everyone is so hard to shop for on my list! :\ I'm glad you got everything except those last two packages and hopefully they show up soon! I bought a DVD from a seller on Half.com and I didn't get any notification from them AT ALL and hten it just, showed up in my mail! /shrugs.

I used to have horrible periods. I imagine nothing like what you went through/are going through. But I had 7-11 days and 4-5 of that was in extreme pain. I used to take pain pills to knock off part of it and curled up in hot baths & with heating pads. It sucks! I got an IUD put in after I had Verlina and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY! I RARELY get cramps, if at all plus I only have 3-5 day periods, but typically it's only 1-2 and spotting.. rarely does it go to a full blown period lasting 5 days. Maybe once a year? It's awesome!

I'm glad your cousin is coming home!! That's so awesome! :D I need to get Christmas cards to send out, if I buy some - I defintiely want to send you one! But, I'll make a post about it & reply to your post as well. Don't want to do that without having one myself. I've just had no time lately! But now that school is out, I can go do some shopping, try and pick up some cards!

Alexandra has been such a good girl the entire time. Slept all night. Gotten her to bed between 7:30pm and 9pm somewhere every night. Slept until morning. I guess this is payback, eh? Not so nice anymore. I don't know why this is. We do try everything, but nothing helps, really. At least today and yesterday she didn't scream and cry the entire time. :-P I do call that progress.

I hope you get all them gifts bought. Saving it all for the last minute, I couldn't stand that! o.O I usually start mid or early November with my shopping. Especially since I try to buy as much as possible online, so it will have time to get here, you know?

My period used to be (before pregnancy) 2-3 days extreme pain with extreme bleeding... I usually say I bleed like a pig in a slaughter house... I use the big night-time pads, and sometimes they are not enough! o.O And then the worry if I get cysts anywhere, is always there nagging at the back of my mind. :-P So either going back on the pill or getting one of them intrauterine device with hormones would be bliss. Hormones stop cysts from developing. :-)

I can't wait to meet my cousin. I seriously can't wait. :-D She's been away so so long and we've pretty much grown up together, so she is like a sister to me! I've missed her SO MUCH these years!

Eep, I'm cringing reading about the fussy baby who won't sleep! I'm sure I will not like that part of parenting...

I'm glad you love Christmas & decorating! I don't even have a tree, never had one...guess I should remedy that, huh? It's usually hot as hell here in December and we're all sweating our asses off which is not that much fun so I envy your nice, fun, snowy Christmases :P We usually eat salads and cold meats and drink lots of beer to cool down XD What's your favourite Christmas food there?

Sucks about your period pain. I hope there is something that can be done to help you.

And I'm one of those faithful readers! Yay! Love that story ^^

Have a great time seeing your cousin again :)

Funny thing is, Alexandra wasn't like this AT ALL before! She has just started with this this week. :-/ She's been an extremely nice little baby before this, I've managed to put her to bed between 7:30 - 9pm every night, no problem. And then she has slept until 8am or so. Without waking up during the night. Very rare that, apparently. She still sleeps all night, but she is being VERY troublesome getting in bed these days. And we have NO idea why? Babies are individuals, so don't worry yet! ;-)

Our apartment are a bit to small for a tree, but I put up other decorations all over the place! :-D When Alexandra gets older, we might get one of them mini-trees for her room. But for now, only my Santa-Army and them angels. :-)

And I am used to my pain. If you have Endometriosis, you have no choice but to get used to it. Because there are extreme pains every month. 2-3 days. I have STRONG painmeds for it, but it still ain't fun. I've had them since I was 12 or so, so... I am used to it. You get a VERY good tolerance for pain, I've learned... ;-)

I hope I've thanked you enough for your comments/reviews? They are GOLDEN! :-D I do so look forward to them every time I post! And we are so happy that there are someone else then us that likes this extremely rare pairing! :-D
