Long time no seen.....

Long time no seen....that is true, now even more than before.
Since february we have been very busy, Oliver was borne the 15th of february in kokkola. The birth went fine, it was very fast, all in all it took 4 hours of which 3 hour were pretty painful since it all went so fast that there was no time for any medicines!!! But it was all worth it.....when I got Oliver in my arms.....well, there is no explaining and no words. Many people that have had kids, told me that holding your baby for the first time is the best thing in the world, and I believed them then too, but nothing compares to the feeling when you really realise after 9 months of waiting that your dear baby is now in yoour arms, totally depended on you, being the only thing in this world that he/she knows and feels safe with....yah, there are no words.
Alejandro was with me all the way and without him and his help I couldent have done it the way I did. He really put himself there for me.....and when Oliver was in my arms, he just staired at him, not understanding that hes really really there...;) but when he did.....he was so sold.

After the birth we still stayed in kokkola for 1,5 months before coming to peru where we are now, but alejandro already travelled to peru 2 weeks before to make sure that our new apartment would be ready for us when we come, and it was.
I travelled to peru with my parents who came for a visit, and the trip when well, Oliver didnt cry at all. I was first so afraid that the landings would be a problem, but there was no problem at all....
Oliver got a baby basket on the long flight over the atlantic and he was enjoying himself while the rest of us were trying to find someplace to to put our feet, at least the rest of the people....its actually very good to have the babybasket-seat, its rights in front of a wall and there you can stretsh out your legs... without any problems. Well, enough about the trip...the point is that we got here and we got here well.

Now we are just enjoying life in our new apartment here in lima, getting used to the new ways of living.
Its true that you have to chance many things when you have a baby, no more long morings sleeping as long as you want, leaving the house from one moment to another....well the list goes on and one.....but the truth is, i dont miss it at all, I totally enjoy how things are right now! it feels soo good living like this, I even miss Oliver when he sleeps long in the day.

Hes really great that little guy, so full of life, so happy all the time! almost never cries. We have the greates time in the days togehter, going to the market, singing together, cooking etc.
Hes also really chancing every day, now I see what other people with kids meant when they said that there is something new every day.
Now hes alreay laughing, talking and he gives these cute happy screams whe hes really happy....he really follows people with his eyes when they talk, he reconices his name, he lights up every time he hears mine or Alejandros voice, he loves to bath......
Well, I could go one forever

I will stop now, and go on later, but right now I need to go and check on the little guy.

Just wanted to say that here everything is fine and I will try to keep contact by writting in here and trough facebook fo that you guys now what is going one.....

Take care!!

Winter greetings from Finland

Hello everyone!
Im finally getting a moment to sitt down and write something in my blog without needing to hurry somewere.....
Im still in finland growwing my belly, and I can asure you that its getting pretty big! many of you have been asking for pictures of it on facebook, and I kind of promised to put some, but I just dont know when yet. Most likely I will not put them here but on the facebook sides when I do.

Life here is calm and wonderful, just like we needed so that Oliver can grow in peace and be borned as a healthy baby boy in february.
Im still working a bit in the jewelly store in town, but little by little making less hours, I will keep on working until christmas, after that I will stop and rest until Oliver is borned.

Ive had soem unplesant moments with pain during the last month and have to slow down a bit, this can be cause already from the stress during the start of my pregnancy, which really was just to much when a total war was going on in ViaVia with Pauline.
Happily now, I dont have to deal with that anymore, not even think about it, which makes life so much easier and nicer. Luckily I got out in time.

Life is looking nice from my point of view now, we will soon have a new borned baby boy called Oliver in our lifes, he is already the love of his parents, so I wonder how it will be when hes finally here.
Alejandro is coming to finland the 10th of january and will stay trough the birth and the first month, so totally we will be in finland for 2 months, it will be a nice chance for him to since hes finishing his studies and will need a second to rest and thing about other things.....and for sure we will have a lot on our hands and dont think we will have a problem with how to use our time when Oliver gets here, he will keep us busy...;)

Im march Alejandro will first travel back to peru, and 2 weeks after that we will follow, looking forward to see our new place that hes going to fix up before we get there.
We will also get some company on our trip with Oliver, my parents will join us to peru and stay for 2 weeks with us there! it will be nice to travell together with them since Alejandro has to travel before and the trip is very long in case Oliver is restless the whole trip! so it will be nice to have some help there.

We are coming into a very intersting and curious time now, so many peole are having new members in their families; My friend Grace from peru is having her first son in april, so will also Alejandros cousin Katy, in may my fiend Riikka in tampere will have her first baby and in june my older brother will get his first borned with his wife.....
There are a lot of exiting things happening now, not to even mention that we almost have christmas at our doorstep. I sooooo love christmas and this year it will be special too, my granma will spend christmas eve with us and even stay the night. She was a bit sick from falling in the stairs at summer and is finally feeling better and getting the strength back in her feet. It looks as she is again full of life and already has partly the energy back that she used to have, so we have to be happy that she is coming togehter well and hope that we can have her with us for many years more to come.

So, I will try to still write you all before christmas! these are the news for now!

Take care and hope to hear from you soon!

Minna and Oliver

Greetings from finland

Its been a while since I last time had time to write something on my blog, and in some way I think that its better to take things little by little, these last few months my mails have been pretty shocking, every now and then at least.....so I think its better to tell all that has been hapening slowly.....;)

Now Im in finland, enjoying life and enjoying my pregnancy! it feels wonderful finally being able to do that. Also in Lima with Alejandro and his family could I feel like I finally could enjoy the most beautiful thing in the world, just like I should have been able from the very start,
Well, it wasent really like that and I will spare you the details on that one....dont even want to go back and think about it anymore, I already closed that shpter in my life and with some that where left in that shapter, I dont want to return opening a new one! they will stay there and life will go on.

Im actually working here in finland, not full time but partly, in my old job at a jewelly store and I really like it....i always did.
Im also taking my time to visit my granmam who is finally home from the hospital, making sure that she is fine at all times and help her out with every-day-things.
Of course I also find some time to enjoy the company of my dearest friends and my family, catshing up on things that I missed while beeing gone.....
My gooddaughter has grown so much, its amazing! my friends childern have grown too.....they are not babies anymore, they are childern going to kinder garden and some soon to school! its so fun to be part of their lifes for a while again.....

I also sold my part of ViaVia to one of the stake-holders from Belgium, and I feel very happy about my decicion, just as i asumed that I would!
There are so many things to look forward to in life, so many things I want to do, and so many new ideas for a comany in Lima hat I have to start choosing and eliminating options to get to the right one....
Now our focus in life anyway is Oliver, he will be first on the list, just next to Alejandro! I want to give him my time and devotion now when I have the option and make sure that he will not end up in a kindergardesn in the months of 6, but tat he will have the chance to be with his family a bit more before that...

Talking about Oliver, hes doing great! he has a very strong heartbeat and is finally growing well! it is a very big relife for us and we just have to hope that the first 3 months of fighting didnt have any effect, at least until now there is no signs of that......
We will keep our fingers crossed until the end taht noting will come up eather!

From now on, life is chancing drasticly, there are many things taht you think about, many things that you plan for the future! mostly I also thing of the people I personly want to involve in Olivers life and which for sure not!
My jounger brother already exepted to be the goodfather of Oliver, and we are very happy about it with Alejandro. Alejandro really conected well with him here in finland and he was the first persona taht Alejandro tought about when we started talking about goodparents.....we also have another to ask still, but that I will leave as an suprice until we have the chance to ask it....

Well now I think that its time to go to bed, let me know whats up in your lifes.....
Cuidanse mucho
Besos y abrazos
Minna y Oliver

If I didnt have any news last time, well now I do....

A lot has been happening here in Ayacucho in the pased months.....many things that I never tought would happen! I guess nobody did.
We have been on a rough path with Pauline since a while concerning work and the company. There are just many things that we closed our eyes to before, not to see the difrences that are between us and our ways of thinking. Well closing our eyes to that came out to be the biggest maistake ever, since we now crached straight into a wall....not agreeing on exacatly anything, exept the fact that we cant agree on anything....;)
Well, we kept on going on, fighting for every littel thing....and we still do! its getting worse for every day that pases.
There have also been some diagreements about wether or not this baby came in a wrong time.....well Im not even going into that, its not even nesecery to say anything because this baby is the joy of our lifes with Alejandro.

Well, to go on.....
We came to the conclution that we cant go on together anymore, one of us has to go....
Frim the fact that Im pregnant and will not be able to work from january to april, I said that I will leave!
I didnt decide yetif I will stay in as a sake-holder in the company or sell my part, but Im strongly leaning against the side that I will in the end sell.
this I will still not decide in a while, I will take my time to see it from every poit of view, but by december Im sure that I will already know.

Now Im moving to Lima, in the following 2 weeks.....from there I will go to finland.
The idea was that I would only visit finland and come back in 2 weeks, but it looks as if I will be staying until the baby is borned.
Alejandro asked me if it would be something I could do for the baby, me and him, to make sure that I will be more relaxed and calm, and as you can imagine, my mother already asked that a while ago....I just didnt even think about tat posibility. Mostly becasue I think its important that Alejandro is close by to feel every step of the pregnancy.....but since he asked me, I had to concider and decided to do it.
He will of course be there before the birth and we will travel back to peru together im march, to live here all of us in Lima.
By then we will have our own space in the house of his parents, the second floor, and Alejandro wants to make sure that everything is ready by the time we get back....

So, that means that I will be in finland from octuber until march next year......
Heh, give me some coments on that.....
Im looking forward to see everybody, specially spend time with my granma that had an accident a month ago.
I will miss Alejandro a lot during those months that we are apart, but at least I will be around people that I love....it will make it easier.
This is the best thing to do, for all of us.....for now!

Wen I will be back, and the baby is bigger, I will invest my money again in a new project, mayby a cafe in Lima.....who knows, but this is not the end of the tail.
