Not very nice just to drop a bombshell and then disappear, I know.  Sorry about that.

Thanks so much to everyone (even Rob!) for the pregnancy wishes. It’s fun that people are so excited, even the fourth time around.  Everything’s going fine on that front, by the way, aside from a couple of weeks of low-grade but constant nausea and a fatigue that I can’t seem to shake.  Every day I thank my lucky stars that my husband works at home and I’m able to make a long nap part of my daily routine.

In other news, after a month-long visit, my mom left for home on Sunday evening.  We got so used to having her here that it’s taking us a while to adjust to her being gone.  We did have a great visit, though, and managed to get a lot of sight-seeing and shopping done, as well as plenty of quality time here at home.  Unlike much of the rest of Sweden, we had beautiful weather through most of the past month, and it’s been only in the last few days that we’ve been hit with strong winds and pouring rains.  If I manage to get around to editing some photos,  I’ll post some that we took during Onock’s stay — I didn’t take many myself, but she took plenty for both of us and I’ve got most of them stored on my computer.  Stay tuned.
