This week has been a good one. Last weekend we got very cold weather here in the Netherlands, with a lot of snow. So we’ve been outside everyday and enjoying the snow and ice. Since our country has been in lockdown since half December, it has been so nice to be able to ‘do’ something. And our little girl loves it. Obviously, I can’t do a lot but even walking for a little while in the cold has done wonders for our spirits.
On Tuesday two of my colleagues visited with their two little kids. It was fun to catch up, and our kids enjoyed playing together. On Wednesday our 
little girl was finally able to go to daycare. Schools and daycare centers have been closed ever since December as well, and this week the schools and daycare centers reopened. So I brought our girl there so I could have a ‘relaxing’ day, and our girl loved playing with her friends again. She was exhausted at night. LOL!
On Friday I spend the morning at my mom’s place so I could relax and my mom could play with our little girl. It has been nice and very necessary to be able to relax a little more this week. I’m officially now longer pregnant with our baby boy than that I was with our girl. I’m almost at 37 weeks, which is a relieve.. but my body is definitely getting ready to give birth. Everything I do is exhausting, and I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions.
Reading wise I’m still on a role. But sitting behind my laptop, hasn’t been the easiest. So slowly on I’m getting ready for my little blogging break for when baby boy comes.
I hope you guys are doing well. What have you been up too?

Glad you were able to get out for a bit. That had to be a welcome change. And the return to day care, too. Sounds like the baby is getting ready to make his appearance! 🙂
It sure was a nice change. And although we kept our distance.. it was nice to see people outside having fun for a change. Even for a little bit the world seemed a bit more ‘normal’. 😀
I love the pictures, Maureen! Thanks for sharing. We’ve finally gotten some winter weather, too. Not a lot of snow, but the ground is still white in our yard.
I’m glad you’re able to relax during this last part of your pregnancy, it’s definitely important.
Stay safe and healthy, and have a wonderful week ahead.
The world definitely looks more charming with a bit of white right?! 😉
Thanks for stopping by Linda. Happy reading.
I am glad that the daycare centers have reopened and you have been getting chance to have some rest. Stay healthy and safe!
Yes, I’m definitely very happy about it. And our girl really loves it too.
Happy reading.
I’m so glad you have a chance to get some rest before the baby arrives. And how lovely Daycare has re-opened, it’s so important for your little girl to get a chance to socialise properly. In the meantime, continue to enjoy this time before the baby comes – I look back at those few weeks before my son was born with great fondness, even though it’s over 30 years ago…
Thanks Sarah. Yes, I’m so happy our girl is able to go to daycare again. For me but definitely for her. She missed playing with her friends.
I’m definitely trying to enjoy this time as much as I can.
Happy reading.
I’m glad you had a lovely week and are able to find ways to rest in these last weeks.
Wishing you a great reading week
Thanks Shelleyrae. Happy reading.
Glad to hear you could get out a bit and have some relaxing time. Just a short while to go now, try to take it slow and relax. Will be thinking of you!
Happy Valentines Day and take care of yourself this week.

Thanks Diana. Happy reading.
Lovely to hear you and your little girl have enjoyed your time in the snow and back at preschool. It has also been very cold here, with a lot of snow! 🥶 But other than work and reading, I haven’t been up to much. Take care, happy reading and blessings on the final stage of your pregnancy. 🙏🙂
It’s definitely nice to have something else happening for a change.. like snow right?
Have a great week and happy reading.
I am glad you have been able to get out a little and enjoy the weather! My daughter wishes she lived somewhere where it snows, but I’m quite happy we don’t. LOL That is wonderful that your daughter was able to spend a day with her friends at the daycare while you got to rest. I know it was much needed. I hope the birth goes well and you have a smooth delivery with a healthy baby and mommy. Take care of yourselves!
Thanks Wendy. Happy reading.
Glad you guys were able to get out and get some fresh air…even if it was cold air! We’re actually getting snow this week too. We had little bits here and there over the week, now we’re looking at a possible 3-6 inches which apparently for our city is snowpocalypse weather! Heck, it’s that even when it’s 1-2 inches! Lol. Sadly our city can’t cope with that much snow. It’s funny, my aunt in Wisconsin will get 10 inches and there’s still no snow day for kids. That’s the different of 2 states between us I guess.
Nice new reads! Those are new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all! Hope everything goes well with baby boy’s arrival! I know my sister is ready for her baby girl to come out now, but she still has four weeks…unless baby girl decides she wants out sooner! Hope you’re able to rest and relax until then!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

Thanks Jessica. I’m definitely trying to relax and enjoy our time as much as possible.
LOL!! Snowpocalypse!! It’s so funny to see how different everyone responds to snow.
Happy reading.
It’s good you were able to get out even with it being cold. I’m thrilled you were able to have some rest and relaxation. It won’t be long now.

Thanks Anne. The cold definitely did us well.
Happy reading.
Hooray for fresh air and relaxation. Baby countdown! I hope you continue to find time to rest as the birth day comes closer. Exciting times!
Thanks Victoria. Happy reading.
Getting out would be nice… We’re still in lockdown too and have no dates for the schools re-opening (although hopefully it’ll be soon!)
It will be nice to get some normalcy back even if it IS just the kid going to school…
Good luck with the baby! It’s so exciting when you’re on that final countdown. 🙂
I’m definitely looking forward to being able to do stuff again. And you can really start to see people getting more and more impatient.
Have a great week and happy reading.
