It’s out! My cover for the renewed Trendi magazine is out on the magazine stands and I’m so excited. This picture was taken while heavily pregnant in week 38, right before baby G arrived ;). So happy to have this cover as a memory and honored I got to also talk about what I value most in life. Love. The complete magazine feels new, fresh and spring-ish. Can’t wait to hear your feedback. Really hope you like it.

 

Good morning from the baby bubble. Me and Greta are up early after a long night shift, for me… Our baby is suffering from a little stomach ache, so I try to help him out by rubbing his tummy and feet right after I nurse him. It helps a lot, but if of course requires me to stay somewhat awake throughout the night on top of all the nursing and pumping (the amount of milk is ridiculous). However, once again I’m so amazed by the hormones helping me out.

Speaking of baby massage, it is something I can’t recommend enough. When Greta was six weeks old my mother gifted me with a few massage classes. It turned out to become one of the most useful gifts I’ve ever received. I gave her a somewhat full body massage every night before going to bed for months, which resulted in at least cry less nights even though she kept me up nursing a lot.

I know there are a lot of baby massage classes offered also for free, but the one I took was held at Organic Spirit located in Lauttasaari, Helsinki. I also pampered myself with a few hours of pregnancy massage  at this particular place while pregnant.

Besides a bubbly stomach we are doing great and Greta is such a good big sister! We are all shocked at how well and smooth everything has went so far. Taking time to settle in has been really good for everyone and we have focused only on family. Enjoying every minute.
