Fyrir átta árum
Vil byrja á að vekja athygli á því að titillinn á þessari blogg færslu byrjar ekki á fyrsta/i eins og hinar tvær á undan :-Þ
En fyrir átta árum síðan voru hríðarnar alveg að fara að byrja og fæðingin hennar Kollu minnar þar með í augsýn. Reyndar leið næstum því sólahringur þar til hún kom í heimin og hún á heiðurinn af að vera erfiðasta fæðingin mín!
En mig langar að deila með ykkur tölvupósti sem ég skrifaði janúar 2000 net mömmu hópnum mínum ca viku eftir að Kolla fæddist. Reyndar er líka skemmtilegt að segja frá því að þessi net hópur enn í fullu gangi og ég hef núna verið að skrifast á við þessar stelpur í hátt í 9 ár eða síðan í maí 1999 þ.e. frá því að Kolla kom undir :-)

Mér finnst ótrúlega gaman að lesa þetta yfir jafnvel þó þetta hafi verið mjög erfið fæðing (þ.e. miðað við hinar tvær veit vel að margar fæðingar eru verri) og það sem mér fannst eiginlega verst við fæðinguna var hvað ég var uppgefin og búin eftir hana og gat ekki notið þess að knúsa stelpuna mína. Ólíkt hinum tveimur fæðingunum þar sem ég var mjög hress eftir fæðingarnar.
Hér er svo linkur á mánaðarmyndirnar hennar Kollu (smella á nafnið hennar) en Matti hefur sem sagt tekið saman eina mynd í mánuði og sett á eina síðu fyrir stelpurnar (ekki alveg nýjustu mánuðirnir samt, hint til Matta að fara að uppfæra)

Til hamingju með stelpuna. Gaman að lesa fæðingarsöguna
Takk takk :-)
Til hamingju aftur með þitt eigið afmæli í fyrradag og afmæli Arnórs Leó í gær.
Sjáumst í afmælinu á eftir.
Til hamingju með Kolluna þína elsku Gyða. Gaman að þú sért farin að blogga aftur, ég kíki sko daglega núna. Verðum endilega að fara að hittast.
Hæ Kata :-) Takk fyrir það. Jamm við verðum að taka lunch fljótlega en er ekki viss um að komast í vikunni sem er að byrja frekar í næstu viku.
