The last weeks of the second trimester of my second pregnancy! Not the easiest but luckily the past couple of weeks have been quieter at work, or at least I haven’t been travelling which has made life calmer. This is good because growing this baby is becoming harder work! Still, I’ve been incredibly lucky and Read More

The highs and lows of my life as a pregnant career mum
On a good day I feel like a rockstar – the geeky type in a suit and wiping bottoms after work – but a rockstar nevertheless. I might have placed a successfully round of calls to my international clients, had interesting debates in meetings and received good feedback, and ticked off more things off my Read More
Babymoon vol. 3 – throwback to the Greek Islands
It’s been a grey and rainy September Sunday. A perfect day to go through holiday pictures and look back at those happy sunny days in Greece 🙂 I didn’t share much from our second week as I was busy relaxing but better late than never! We spent seven nights in total at Milos (six days) Read More
Mama-workout outdoors
I really enjoyed the long bank holiday weekend in Finland, my last trip to my home country before our baby will be born. Now at 6-months pregnant, feeling energetic is far from obvious but this weekend I felt better and took advantage of my improved energy levels to spend time outdoors with my favourite workout Read More
“Will you be my wife?”
One week officially engaged!! On our last night on Santorini, after admiring yet another beautiful sunset, he popped THE question ❤️ It’s almost a year ago now that we decided we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, to start a family and buy a house. In our priorities, family came (and still Read More
Nesting – how do you prepare for a baby??
During the holidays I’ve had a lot of time to think and surprise surprise, I mostly think about the baby. I think about the life change ahead of us – how our life will be like in a few months time. How and if our relationship will change. How I will adapt to being a Read More
End of the second trimester is approaching – still plain sailing?
Nearly 24-weeks preggers!! Time is not flying by (that’s how eager I am to meet our girl) but it is gradually passing away 🙂 I’m feeling well and judging from the frequent activity in my belly, our baby is doing well too. I know many things could still go wrong, but fortunately I’ve been able Read More
Babymoon vol. 2 – Milos
I’m now 23-weeks and two days pregnant, and lying in my new favourite spot – in a hammock under a palm tree, listening to cicadas making noise. Sky is bright blue and the hill down towards the Milos harbour is dotted with white sugar cube-like houses… Heavenly! Not a surprise Milos is said to have Read More
Babymoon – first days at Santorini
Hi everyone! Greetings from Santorini where I’m typing away this post on a sun lounger by the pool – my absolute preferred writing setting so far! I’m propped up with pillows in the shade with my baby girl making my pregnant belly jump up and down (looks hilarious!) and her daddy grilling himself in the Read More
Flying alone when pregnant – don’t do it!
Before I go on, let me just start by saying I would not have skipped my trip to Finland for anything – I had an amazing time with my family and friends and truly enjoyed the Helsinki summer <3 That being said, travelling solo when 22 weeks pregnant was not fun. I’m a frequent traveller Read More
