9 måneder!!!!

Jøss, tiden flyr!!! Det skal være visst!

I dag var vi på 9.måneders kontroll med Marcus! Dvs, Nick var hjemme og sov etter nattevakt. Jeg og Marcus derimot, var oppe tidlig, spiste en god frokost, Marcus så på super why mens jeg gjorde meg klar også bar det ivei.
Vi fikk ny lege i dag siden vi har flyttet.. :) Og jeg digger den nye legen til Marcus, hun er kjempe snill, og tok ting veldig seriøst, der andre leger har sagt pytt pytt, det går bra, der tok hun tak i ting og jeg følte meg veldig trygg på at hun kommer til å bli en perfekt lege for gutten vår!!

Marcus ble veid og målt igjen, og han vokser den gutten, det er ihvertfall sikkert!!

Her er en oversikt over vitale mål fra fødsel til 9 mnd, tallene i parantes er hvor han ligger prosentvis i forhold til andre barn på samme alder. Så når det står vekt ved fødsel 36%, så er han større enn 36 prosent av barn i samme alder og 64 prosent er større enn han.

Ved fødsel var Marcus ,

Vekt: 3795 gr (36%)

Høyde:51 cm (25%)

Hodeomkrets: 35,5 cm (19%)

1 mnd:

Vekt: 5500 gr (83%)

Høyde: 58 cm (71%)

Hodeomkrets: 39,8 cm (65%)

3 mnd

Vekt: 6190 gr (99%)

Høyde: 59,5 cm (98%)

Hodeomkrets: 40,8 cm (90%)

6 mnd

Vekt: 8900 gr (85%)

Høyde: 72 cm (95%)

Hodeomkrets: 46 cm (96%)

9 mnd

Vekt: 9550 gr (58%)

Høyde: 76 cm (96%)

Hodeomkrets: 46,5cm (83%)

Han har vokst seg stor og sterk. Legen sa han var en veldig lang gutt :) Og det er han jo, en dame spurte meg til og med om han var over 1 år :D

Han viste seg skikkelig fram, reiste seg opp og gikk omkring i rommet med stolen hennes. Han satt å sa dadda og pappa. Og hun sa han var mye lengre fremme med tanke på utvikling mentalt, fysisk, motorisk og språklig. Hun var veldig fascinert over hvor flink han var. Og assistenten hennes lurte på om han virkelig bare var 9 mnd.

Hun syns han var kjempeflink som kunne så mange ord, for andre barn på samme alder som hun var lege til, bare bablet og var ikke oppe og stod og var ikke like for seg som den lille flinkingen vi har. Hun sa at vi skulle være veldig stolte av han! :D

Så snakket vi en del om allergien til Marcus, og hun tok det svært seriøst, så nå skal vi få time til en allergi lege og teste for 40 ulike matvarer, og vi fikk epi-pen, en sånn som vi setter i låret på han om han skal få en like stor allergisk reaksjon som han fikk da han var 3 mnd gammel.

Føler at vi ble tatt på alvor, er så mange ulike matvarer som Marcus ikke har fått prøve enda, pga av redsel for en alvorlig allergisk reaksjon. Og som dama sa, så er det så lett at han får i seg noe han ikke tåler, de er mobile i denne alderen og putter alt i munnen, så er så deilig å vite at vi er på den trygge siden!!

En liten Marcus oppdate kanskje :)

Måneden som gikk har vært en morsom måned, kjenner jeg likte at han var 8 mnd. :D

Han lærte nye ord og meninger.. Han har vokst masse i lengde og utviklet seg motorisk.

Han har begynt å vise mer interesse for lekene sine, bøkene sine og oss ikke minst.
Veldig glad i å holde rundt oss, nusse oss på kinnet, og bare kose.. Har ikke tid å kose lenge av gangen, men kommer bort til oss støtt og stadig og bar vil holde rundt og kose.

Han har begynt å like mat han må tygge, cheerios, forskjellige frukter og bare elsker mat, hjemmelaget middag er han helt gal etter.

Han har fått en ny tann oppe, den andre fortanna, og jobber fælt med den 4. tanna oppe. Det klør noe sinnsykt i gommene, og sengekanten har fått gjennomgå stakkar. Den er hvit istedet for brun som den skal være :)

Han sier 2 ord men på både norsk og engelsk, så det blir jo tilsammen 4 ord som han behersker.

Pappa og daddy

Hadet og byebye.

Han har begynt å peke, og hvis vi peker på noe og sier se, så ser han mot der vi peker.

Han elsker alt han ikke skal borti, noe som visstnok er helt normalt som jeg har skjønt :D

Han er en veldig bedagelig gutt, glad som dagen er lang, gråter sjeldent og er veldig for seg. :)

Han er alt vi kunne drømme om, og vi er så utrolig glad for at vi har han i livet vårt ! :D

Et lite bildet av gutten må vi jo ha, her er et bilde noen dager før han ble 9 mnd.

Vakre gutten er 8 mnd

Ja, vi har en 8 mnd gutt i hus :D
Er så morsomt om dagen, gutten vår utvikler seg i en rasende fart :D
Nå reiser han seg opp ved siden av alt, selv ting som kan røre på seg. Han går ved å holde seg i gåleken sin. Han elsker å se på Super Why, det er virkelig en av favorittene til Marcus.
Kan ramse opp en del remarkable ting som har skjedd på en mnd.

7mnd gutten lærte seg å:
*Krabbe fort fort fort.
*Han vinker, viser hvor stor han er, klapper og vise hva rumpa til pappa sier :D
*Han sier Hadet, eller Byebye..
*Han står uten hjelp, men ikke så lenge og noen ganger gidder han ikke prøve engang

Nå er han 8 mnd, og han har tatt et skritt alene. Det skjedde i dag.. :D tror han ble litt forskrekket, men han holdt balansen. Håper han drøyer det med å gå enda en stund.. Trenger ikke det enda..Kan vente til han er over 1 år :D
Han begynner å utvikle personligheten sin og har fått litt temprament :D Så moro når han prøver å være sint :D
Han har fått 4 tenner til nå, 2 i midten nede, og 2 oppe, den ene i midten og den andre på siden av den høyre tanna i midten.. :) For å si det mildt så var det noen våkenetter da tennene holdt på å bryte igjennom, og det var veldig vondt for lillemann.. :( Men nå sover han hele natta, og våkner med et smil, lager ikke lyd, men vi vet han har vært våken en stund for alle sidene på den nye senga er nedgnegd og har tann merker rundt hele senga.. Den ser ikke ut :D ler

Marcus elsker å bade. jeg vedder for at han kan ha den værste dagen ever, og kan skrike og bære seg, men hvis vi sier bade, blir han helt stille, og kjempe glad :D I badekaret leker han med lekene sine, plasker og har det som plommen i egget :D

Marcus har blitt en ordentlig pappadalt i det siste. Han er så pappagutt!! Når Nick står opp med han er han så i ekstase, lager kvinelyder og tviholder seg rundt halsen på Nick. og hvis jeg holder frem hendene mine, da bare gliiiser han og kaster seg rundt halsen på Nick igjen.. :D men han har dager da mammaen sin er det beste i hele verden. Og vil ikke se eller snakke med noen andre :D da varmer det godt i mammahjertet :D hehe

Vi elsker den lille tullballen vår :D han er det beste som kunne hendt oss, og vi koser oss hver eneste dag sammen ! :D Livet er herlig dere!!

Lille 7 måneders gutten vår!

Marcus er 7 måneder nå. Tiden går så alt alt for fort.. Så hvert sekund vi får med prinsen vår er så precious!! Den siste måneden var fyllt med store begivenheter.
Som 6 månedersgutt lærte gutten å krype, han lærte seg å reise seg opp, og gå ved siden av sofa, bord, vinduskarmen etc.. og han lærte seg å sette seg opp selv. Det var hans motoriske utviklen i måneden som gikk. Ellers har har bare bestemt seg for å hate bilstolen sin. Han gjør alt han ikke skal gjøre, som for eksempel å leke med grandma's julekrybbe som står under juletreet, leke med vannskåla til Stryder, og bite i ledninger.. Han elsker kosedyrene sine, spesielt bamsen han fikk hos Lill, og lammet han fikk hos Signe. Han liker også frosken han fikk hos Carole, samme greia som lammet, et kosedyrhode sydd på en koseklut.. :D

Som 7 månedersgutt er han blitt tøffere, prøver å slippe seg mens han står og som regel havner han på rumpa. Noen ganger holder han balansen en stund, men fallrefleksen kicker inn og han faller. Han er dårligere på å spise, for han har det veldig travelt og vil helst farte rundt hele tiden.

Nå er det snart jul, lillejulaften as we read! Marcus sin første jul!! Jeg gleder meg! Han er så herlig den gutten. Sjarmerer alle i senk!! Hver morgen har vi familiestund i storsenga. Da krabber Marcus rundt. River pappa i øret, river mamma i håret. Smiler og ler. Det er så koselig!! :D Da prater han og det gir virkelig mersmak når man kan ta en pause fra hverdagen og bare nyte noen få minutter der vi alle kan være sammen. :D
Lille Marcus er så bedagelig. Han sitter så tålmodig i bilstolen sin når vi er på farta. Selv om han først sier ifra hva han egentlig mener om bilstolen sin. Han skulle vel helst kjørt selv den tullballen! :D Ute blandt folk flørter han og viser stolt frem de to tennene sine :D V kani sitte i sofaen og brått har Marcus planta to skarpe tenner i stortåa :D
Huff, jeg kunne sittet her hele helgen og skrevet morsomme ting Marcus har gjort. Men det har man jo ikke tid til :D
Skal sette inn bilder senere, og skal bli flinkere til å blogge!! :D

God Jul!!

6 months old little Marcus boy!!

Sorry, I have not been good with this blog at all, I guess i'm not at big blogger :)
Well I wanted to write some updates about our little son.
He is 6 months old now. Growing like crazy, and he is getting more and more handsome!
We just love our little tullball.. :D
He is 6 months old now, he is 8.9 kilos, and he is 72 cm in height, his headcircumferanse is 46.5 cm. He is in the 86th percentile for weight, in the 95th for hight and 96th for HC. A big georgeous boy!






He is developing just fine. Here are some of his skills and interests:

• He can scoot forward, and he is doing the armyroll

• He is rocking back and forth on his hands and knees and is almost crawling.

• He tries to pull him self up, but he needs more time, strength and balance



• He is holding his bottle, feeding him self now, no need for mamma or daddy to help :D


• He sleeps through the night!! Super yeah!!
  
• He has two teeth, he got one on nov.1st, and the other one a few days later.


• He is starting to copy us now, sometimes he will say Hiiii!! :D
  
• He is sitting up, guess who i found sitting up in bed the other night??



• When he wants to go to mamma or daddy, he will reach out for us..


• He is eating tons of different foods, he is over the part where he just wanted peas, he loves everything except meat. If you give him beef and beefbroth etc, he will gagg on you!! :D

• He can have a toy in each hand and play and switch back and forth.


• He of course gets into everything he is not suppose to. Like the dvd player, dvds, The cords, Stryders toybox, grandma's plants, Stryders waterbowl, the heater on the floor, papers and magazines, shoes and so on..


• He has his toys in his own toybox, when he wants to play, he just knocks it over and in a minute the toys are all over the livingroom. The thing he has not learned yet is to pick up after him self.. :)

That is some of Marcus's skills and interests. He is a super fun baby, and I love him so much. I cant believe how blessed we are, he is truly a good baby, had tons of patience and he is so calm and relaxed. He cries if he is scared, if he hurts, or if he is tired or hungry. He is truly everything we would ever hope or wish for. And I am so blessed to have Marcus in my life!
6 months have gone by so fast, and I am afraid we will wake up one day with a 18 year old and wonder where the heck all the time went.. We just need to take pics and write about the small things that just gotta be recorded and enjoy every moment of life!!

I will try to do better with the blogging ,and keep friends and family updated.. :D

Take care!!

5 months old babyboy!

Marcus er 5 måneder i dag! 5 måneder siden Marcus kom til verden, men det føles som om det var i går!! Jeg husker den dagen vi kjørte til sykehuset og vi visste at vi kom til å komme hjem med en baby. Jeg husker da jeg og Nick satt på sykehuset spente på hva som skulke skje, jeg husker jeg gikk hjemme de siste dagene før Marcus ble født. Våknet på natta for å gå på do, vagget rundt som ei svær gås, kjente Marcus sparke, hikke, snu på seg og jeg husker når Nick la øret mot magen, og hørte hjertet til Marcus slå. Jeg husker hvor spente vi var, hvor vi lengtet etter den lille gutten vår.. :D Nå har han vært på denne jord i 5 måneder, og jeg kan ikke beskrive den gleden han sprer rundt seg, hvor mye vi elsker den lille gutten vår!!!

5 måneder gammel og vokser kjempefort. Fortsatt rundt 90 prosentilen :D

5 måneders skills og interesser:
* Rulle begge veier.
* Sitte uten å bli støttet opp.
* ta opp smokken og føre den inn i munnen.
* Holde flasken sin
* Drikke fra tutekopp og vanlig kopp
* Når han ligger på magen snurrer han rundt 360 grader ved å bruke hendene og prøver fortvilt å krype
* Kan stå ved å holde seg selv oppe, men gjør ikke det så mye, vil spare ryggen hans.

Interessene til Marcus er:
* Mamma og pappa
* elsker baby einstein leken sin (hoppeleke)
* Elsker å leke på gulvet
* Er stor fan av Stryder hunden til grandma.
* Elsker andre babyer, speilbildet sitt og gamle mennesker typ oldefar og oldemor gamle :D
* Liker gulrot og erter, ikke fan av noen frukt bortsett fra sviske.
* Elsker å lugge hår.
* Når han sover må han ha to kosedyr, ett på hver side, favorittene er lammet og frosken sin.. Det er kosekluter med kosedyr på :D
* Liker å leke "borte bø", og "nå kommer mamma og tar deg" :D
* Er ufattelig kilen, spesielt på lårene, ryggen, siden og rundt halsen.


Ellers er han favoritt babyen vår :D Slik føler vel alle mammaer og pappaer det :D

Marcus is 3 months and one week!!

Marcus is over 3 months old now. Seems like time just flies away!
He is developing fine. Just started to show interest for his toys. His gums are itching really bad, so he is biting on to everything, leaving something with a grind.. Yucky!! :D He is so funny!
He's rolled over a few times, from back to his stomach.. He rolles over on his side for the most. But he sure knows he can move now :) He just found out he has feet as well, and they are really cool to look at... :D He can say I love you, though he kinda stopped saying that after a while. The new favorite thing to do, is the one thing his grandma Edel taught him, to make car noises.. I woke up last morning, and the first thing he did when he woke up, was to make that sound.. :D And he has done that over and over again the whole day.
He is getting really heavy, and long.. Juat started to eat some regular food actually. Where did my newborn go??? I rememeber the firts time I saw him. I was the happiest girl on this earth.. I had been longing to meet him for so long, and the first time I saw him, the first time i heard him cry/scream and the first time I smelled him, he placed some deep footprints in my heart. To watch him grow. To see him develope. To know he is healthy and strong, it makes me realized how blessed I am. How blessed we are! Me and my wonderful husband, together we made this perfect little thing. And now I can't imagine our life without him!! We just can't stop staring at him, kiss him, cuddle with him!! I know we were ment to have him in our life, he is teaching us so much... and I just love him with all my heart!! I love to see him with my family, I love to see my family hold him, and to see that he is loved by so many people. If something ever would happen to me, I know that so many people would help out.

Today I got a heartbreaking message. Marcus's 2nd cousin died from a car accident. She just turned 17. It is so sad. As a parent, I can only imagine the pain her parents feels, the loss of their daughter, it must be so hard. I don't even wanna think about living without Marcus. And I have only been his mom for 3 months. But the love you have for your children, it is so strong. Our children is so precious to us.. And I just don't think we can imagine how it is to loose a son or a daughter.
I will pray for my cousin and his wife, it is so sad what happened, words just can't explane!!

Take care of your loved ones peeps. What if tomorrow never comes... You never know what's behind the next curve.. And you will never get yesterday back..

It has been a sad week... :(

Last friday the 13th, my wonderful dog Tingeling past away. She got hit by a car, and died. I just miss her so much. She's been staying with my sister Lill for the last 2 years. And they had a special bond her and Tingeling. Tingeling was 8 years, and i can still remember the day me and Kai (Lill's fiance) drove to Sweden to pick her up.. It was love at first sight. She was such an adorable puppy. She became my best friend ever. She has always protected me from evil people :) at least who she thought was evil .. Lol..
When I cried, she always jumped up on the table, sat in front of me, and licked away my tears. When I was happy, she was happy. When I went to sleep, she slept in my bed with me..





Tingeling and I were a great team. We learned lots of tricks together, she was my first dog, and of course there is a lot I would want to do different, but I don't know where I would be without her. She has brought so much joy into my life.. She was like my baby, for a while it was just me and her. we understood eachother, she knew me, and I knew her.

Unfortunately I was unable to see her for almost two years cause I lived in the US, or it was actually over 2 years... When I saw her again, she didn't really recognize me at first, but it didn't take long till she did. And I had an amazing hour with her, all alone... We sat in the bed, she laid on my lap. Looked at me, licked me in my face, she smiled at me, and barked and wanted to play.. She played with my hand for a while, then we took a walk outside... I just remembered how much I had missed her. I wanted to take her back, but since she had been staying with Lill for so long, I would not break that bond again. But man I missed her. Dreamt about her at night.



Last friday I recieved a phone call from my sister, she was crying..
She said that Tingeling was dead... I got goosebumps all over my whole body, I just could not believe it. My little Tingeling wasn't anymore.. Lill was crying, so was I. Poor little Tingeling, she was suppose to live forever!! But that didn't happen...





I know it might seem like I am over reacting, but I swear, Tingeling was not an usual dog. She was something more. She had the sweetest personality, but at the same time, she was a beast :) She was easy to love. So spunky!!! I know I will never have a dog like that anymore.. I miss her so much.. Wish she could just come back!!





I wanna share the poem my sister wrote on her wall the night Tingeling died.. It is so beautiful and so true!!!

If tears could build a stairway,

and heartache make a lane.

I'd walk the path to heaven,

and bring you home again..

R.I.P Pingen!!

I miss you!!

Not everything can be boiled

Since Marcus turned 3 months yesterday, I bought him a present. I had my mom watch Marcus for a few hours. The first time anyone has watched him by the way, and it felt horrible to leave him.. But Marcus and bestemor had a blast. :) I myself went to sweden to buy some formula and food for the next week. And since his gums are itching I bought a teether filled with some gel. I even got him a bigger binky, and a hairbrush for him.. I got home, put the teether and the binky in the steam-bag and put it in the micro.. I heard some popping in there and took it out, and the three gelfilled sections on the teether had popped and the gel had started to come out... Man I got so mad at my self for being so stupid. I really wanted him to have that teether.. But now it was all destroyed.. So I guess not everything can be boiled/steamed..
Other than that his three months birthday was fun, we took some pictures and just had fun together. When I got Marcus ready for bed we sang songs like usual, Marcus loves when we sing for him. But he hates it when we get him dressed, he just loves being naked :D So the PJ was not a popular thing. And he did not want to go to bed in his own bed last night, so i just laid him in the middle of our bed and he was out!! He slept till 2 o'clock and wanted some food. But my milk was not enough so i had to make him a bottle, and even at the 6 o'clock meal he wanted a bottle, he is usually fine with only breastmilk at night.. So he probably has a growing period now..

We measured him again today since the lady that measured him on his 3 months check up said she did not measure him correctly, and the correct lenght is actually 26.4 inches, not 24.4 inches. So he is on the 95 precentile on weight and >97 precentile on hight. He is using 80-86 in clothing wich is 12 months in US sizes. And he is for sure the cutest little thing you can ever imagine!! <3

Our son is 3 months

We are celebrating our sons 3 months birthday today :) He celebrated his own way by rolling from back to his stomach.. He is such a good baby!!!
The 3 months check up yesterday went well. He is growing and developing just the way he is suppose to. And he is now 16 pounds 4 oz and he is 24.4 inches long.. (7440 gr and 62 cm long)
He is making tons of different noises, he does not sleep through the night yet, he is breastfeeding ones or twice every night. But that's alright we just keep him in our bed the rest of the night and then he sleeps till 9 or 10 :)

The 3 last couple of months has been pretty amazing. Being a mom is more than I could ever imagine, it is such a blessing for me, and I am so happy for my eternal family that we have made together me and Nick. I have a testimony that families can be together forever, and I am so grateful for that!!

In less than 3 weeks we will head back to the states, it has been fun vacation in Norway. Nick is probably sick of doing nothing. And I am eager to get back again. Marcus will be able to say hi to his family in Utah and we are so excited to see everybody again.. We will miss everybody here in Norway, but we sure hope they will all come and visit us in Utah. :D

Mormon messages.

Her om dagen fortalte min fantastiske mann at han hadde tittet på mormon messages på youtube.. Han fant frem en video til meg på youtube som jeg gjerne vil dele med dere.. Tårene mine bare rant.. Det var så trist, samtidig så oppløftende..
Hvis han kan tilgi, da kan jeg også tilgi...
Det er utrolig viktig å tilgi, begrave stridsøkser, glemme og legge ting bak seg. Begynne med blanke ark igjen.. Hvis vi hver eneste dag jobber med å tilgi hverandre, så vet jeg at vi blir velsignet... Kan vi ikke prøve å tenke på noen vi kan tilgi? Ta opp kontakten med noen som kanskje har gjort oss vondt, fortelle at vi har glemt og er villig å tilgi?? Livet er for kort til å kaste det bort på å være bitter..

Nå sikter jeg ikke til noen bare så det er sagt, jeg bare snakker generelt :)


Her er videoen, se den og bli inspirert :)

My Burden Was Made Light

To live together forever

I always try to explane my love for my husband, but sometimes words is just not enough!! I will try to explane for everyone else why I love my husband like I do, and why I couldn't dream for more!! :P

I love my husband with all my heart. Every day he shows me a new side, and I love ever part of him. We have been together for 13 months, married for 2, and we have never had a fight. How is that possible??!! Whenever I get upset or sad, he can always talk to me, and actually make me happy again in no time. We just can't argue, or get any closer than just being upset and need to talk to each other, and thats just how I want it to be. We might not have to agree on everything, but mine and Nicks way of communicate with eachother is uniq, I haven't seen or heard of anyone like that. Alot of relationships have a rough start, or at any time had a fight over something, with me and my husband, everything was so natural from the beginning, how we became a couple, never had a fight, its almost too good to be true. I have never dreamt of having a marriage like this, and I don't have to be afraid of being my self. Im a girl with emotions, ups and downs, I can lock my self in a shell, and minutes after Nick helps me back out, builds me up, cheers me up. And I don't have to be upset anymore. Everytime Nick is upset or sad, stressed out or whatever, I play that same role, helping him calm down, cheering, building him up again, and so on!! What more can a girl wish for?? And I know that when or if that day comes that we have a fight, our communication will always help us, we know that we can talk about everything, he is my best friend, im his best friend, and we can share everything with each other, both good and bad.

I think one of mine and Nicks recipes for a happy eternal marriage must be that we entered this marriage with the knowlegde that nothing was going to be easy, we are not perfect and we are failing every day, and the reason we are together is to co-oporate, to learn and to help each other. To build up a celestial family, and I don't have to play perfect, I don't have to never be upset or sad, cause whatever i do, Nick will never leave my side, either will I leave his side!!
So I can get upset, I can get mad, and when that happens, me and Nick just talkes about it and everything is fine again.

Another thing we do that helps is:
We talk together about how much we love each other every day! And WE never get sick of hearing those three words I LOVE YOU :) When Nick goes to work, five minutes later I get a text message, and it sais: I love you,babe.. and it always warms my heart, and it always makes me feel special!!

All that we do testifies that we are ment to be together, and that God really has a plan for us being together, and to have that comforting spirit with us all the time, makes it really easy to relaxe. And to focus on me and him, not everything else that doesn't have eternal value!!

I always look forwad till tomorrow; a new day with my eternal companion, and i look back to yesterday with a smile on my face, remembering all the fun stuff me and my husband did, looking back on all the memories we have created together, and smile :)

I really really love my husband with all my heart and all my soul. I love the way we are and the way we always will be :) We match perfectly and what more can a girl wish for? I can't wait for our family to grow big, to share our big love with our children. And everyday is a gift from God, and im so grateful that Nick is the one I can celebrate with everyday:)

The Honeymoon

Our honeymoon was amazing. We went to Orlando, Florida. Amazing weather, sunny and about 90-94 degrees everyday, we only got some rain the last two days. next day
We went to Disneyworld one day, and picked the hollywood studios park with the Tower of terror and the Rock'n Rollercoaster. We had so much fun that day, spent like 10 hours in the park, watching almost every show and took the tower of terror three times, and the rock'n rollercoaster twice :) Then we headed out to the beach one day. We drove over to tampa bay and to one of the beaches over there. Chrystal water, i think that was the name of the beach actually. We got a huge sunburn both of us, though we had tons of sunscreen on, but oh well. Later on it turned out that the only that remained tan, was Nick. Wenche got her white lovely color back after we both had been shedding for some time :)

The next day we went to sea world. Wenche loved it. Nick thought it was ok :) The animals were amazing, we watched the shamu show, a show with alot of killer whales, and got a little wet from Shamu the HUGE killerwhale. He had a good time splashing water on the ones that were stupid enough to seattle down in the SOAK AREA :) Oh well. It was fun after all..

We also watched the dolphin show, and a show where we saw a bunch of dogs, cats, rats, birds, pigs and a skunk perform. It was so fun to watch them, it takes alot to train a cat, but the cats were amazing, and Wenche was pretty happy when she was able to spot a Chinese Crested among all the animals :D The chinese crested is her favorit dog breed :)
All the animals that performed were rescued animals, so the trainers have been doing alot of good work with these animals :)

Then it was all about busch gardens, after all that we have heard about it, we had some pretty high expectations about that park, and wenche was rather dissapointed. Nick liked it, he loved the rides, but Wenche thought the whole park was rather overrated. It was fun and everything, but it was not THAT good, if you know what i mean :)
But we had a really good time, being in Orlando just the two of us, together all the time was just brilliant. We had alot of fun, got to know each other better, eat alot of food, gained some weight :D But who cares:)

We also took alot of pictures. Here is a few of them :)
