On Sunday, Thomas and I finally went to see "Juno." It was a really great movie, and happened to be set in Minnesota. As we were walking from the cinema to the Metro station, I was talking about some of the Minnesota references, in English of course. A woman overheard and came running over, saying "excuse me!" I figured it was just another tourist – lost, and excited to find an English speaker to get directions from. No, no. It was much more random than that.But wait! There's more!

My MacBook, Kurhah, has a Danish keyboard. The orange keys are special keys that add accents to other letters. So for example that one to the right of the +, if I hit that and then hit e I get é.But wait! There's more!

I remember several years ago, someone told me that her 30th birthday wasn't a big deal because she already basically "dealt with" it on her 29th. I thought that was weird at the time, but I totally get it now. Last year, it was all "omg I'm almost 30." But I've been thinking of myself as 30 for a while now, and it's not shocking anymore. Sometimes I literally forgot I hadn't actually turned 30 yet. Tomorrow I turn 30, and I'll still be in the same awesome life. I love where I am, what I'm doing, with whom I'm doing it, and where things seem to be going. I love my life.
A little less than a week ago, my morning sickness finally started to subside. I won't say I'm "back to normal" (I'm not even sure that's possible… I'm thinking that pregnancy and motherhood creates a whole new normal and you never go back to the previous one) but I'm finally able to enjoy myself again and I'm really looking forward to meeting and raising this new human being.
