Oliver’s adventures; womb to world birth story

Image
15 weeks later and finally managing to write about Oliver’s birth! Time flies with a newborn! Awaiting Oliver’s arrival was such an anticipation and a cluster of emotional moments. Originally I had planned to have Oliver naturally. From the beginning of the pregnancy, I wasn’t so fixated on needing to have the birth detailed exactly how I had wanted it to be, but I didn’t realize how quickly all of my plans would fly out the door.  We had a smooth pregnancy over the course of those 40 weeks; tons of morning sickness from week 9-21, but after that it was smooth sailing. My midwife regularly checked on Oliver, and his little heart beat was strong and was sweet music to our ears. In Sweden, they only do one ultrasound in week 21. If there are no causes for concern, then that’s the only time you’ll get to see your litttle one before they make their official appearance; pretty crazy compared to the American routine I knew of.

I remember these being the most uncomfortable changes I had ever felt. New friends, new cultures, new everything. Arizona was my first comfort zone and I had dreamt of the...

Help for immigration; I got married and moved to Sweden from the US

Hey! I’ve been reading a lot of posts lately for people seeking help to either get married or move to Sweden from the states, so I thought I’d post my own route to getting into Sweden! Facts: I am American and was single when I first came to Sweden.            I had a volunteer visa for 2yrs so I had the right to be in Sweden for more than 90days at a                           time.            My husband is an EU citizen who works in Sweden and is in the process of waiting for citizenship to Sweden. He has an “Uppehålls rätt” through his job. Step one- getting married within Sweden Here are the steps I went through to get my application for marriage accepted: 1. Gather paperwork (passport, proof of being single from the states; tax return, or if not accepted then a “record of no record” from a county in the US. I had mine mailed to a US friend and she to...
