Terve!  Mitta kuuluu?  Kiitos hyvaas!

This is your friend, Sari Annike.  I am about to have our newest child; she is due in a few days.  Having some pain, but it isn't worrisome (yet), but everything is on standby.  Nikolas has taken off work so he can be with me, lest I should go into labour, and our neighbour is watching Erick, Birtta, and Ilsa and our animals.

I am so big!  It is very difficult for me to get around easily; when I am up, I have to use my wheelchair.  I mainly stay in bed or on the couch in the livingroom.  I feel more like a beached whale than a human being!  LOL  It looks (and feels) as if I am going to deliver an ELEPHANT!!  LOL

The children are excited that there will be a new member of the family, but I think Ilsa is jealous of unborn Fia.  She knows that she will no longer be the baby, so she has been acting obstinate and is trying our patience each and every day.

I just hope the baby will be born healthy.  For the last few nights the auroras have had a lot of red in them.  I hear that if there is a red aurora, bad things will happen.  I don't think that is true , but I can't help thinking about this in the back of my mind.  I don't know what I would do if Fia was born with a disability, but Nik tries to reassure me that we will love her anyway, irregardless.  

Easier said than done.  I have heard too many stories about babies being born disabled or dead.  I know for a fact that Fia is okay because she is running relays in the confines of my belly and she is hurting me when she kicks.  She kicks like a horse!!  Sometimes she causes me a lot of pain or tears to come to my eyes!  Fia is already showing herself to be very strong: she is probably going to be like her daddy!

Well, I hate to run, but I think my water just broke.  The bed is wet.  No, it is mor than that: it is absolutely drenched!  Lovely!  I need to get to hospital ... and the sooner, the better!  I don't need to deliver Fia in the bed or on the livingroom floor!  I will have Nikolas write in a day or two; I will write sometime next week or thereabouts, once all this is over!  Pray for a safe delivery and pray for the health of our new daughter-to-be!!  I would greatly appreciate it!

Untl later, this is Sari saying Nakemiin!  God bless!

~Love, your friend in Finland, Sari Annike.  :)
