We rented a car on Saturday as we needed to pick up the pram we ordered a few weeks ago. It was the first time for Leo to drive the left sided car! We were both very nervous about it, haha! We also hire a GPS and without it, we would have been very lost! First we wanted to go to Ikea for lunch (Sweden meat ball) and some shopping. So, we set our destination with the address I copied from Ikea website – it was wrong! Ok, then we tried the train station and it worked. Next question – do you want to avoid toll road? What is it? We understood it as the road where we have to pay fees like in other country… Ok, so no! When we reached Morges, we realized that toll road probably meant motorway! No wonder it was taking much longer than we thought! So, we reset the system and finally got on the motorway and reached our first destination in 10 minutes!
Second destination – Happy Baby in Crissier where we bought the pram. We were lost a little bit even with the GPS …hahha! Ok, picked up the pram and dropped by Media mart nearby, got a few things and drove back to Lausanne. It was an exciting day afterall! hahah

Time sure go by fast especially when we are busy. We are overwhelmed with many things happening in our lives since end of 2010. I am now 28 weeks pregnant and yes with a huge tummy! I am feeling extremely exhausted especially after a full day of work. Being a mum is sure not an easy task but special! The baby is an active one, kicking quite frequently and sometimes so much that I couldn’t rest. However, I noticed that she is usually quiet with music and hence I asked Leo to sing to her before bed time 
.
We have reserve a terrace since end of last year and since then, we were busy meeting with the architect, contractors, finance adviser, etc. Some of them are not efficient at all (perhaps they are truly busy that things have to be delayed …). We are finally meeting the lawyer next Monday to discuss the notary – time to pay the deposit to secure our new place! We were hoping to get the key on the 1st April but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a delay with how things are progressing … Anyway, I am sure God will prepare the best for us.
B permit – testing our faith and patient! we have submitted our form to renew our permit since April 2010 and still we have not received it! We really need this to sort out many important legal affairs including signing the notary, life insurance, mortgage, baby insurance, etc. The latest news – should receive in 2 weeks!
