I just found out today that there are two groups in the Jewish daycare. One where they speak the countries language and one where the teacher only speaks Hebrew. How fantastic is that? I was thinking a lot lately how I will teach my children hebrew. Our language at home is English; i will talk Swiss-German to the Baby and Mr. J.S. will speak his mothertongue, so how do we mix in Hebrew? Eventhough they learn it in the Jewish School for 9 years, almost none of the students actually speaks hebrew at the end......
Tomorrow we have our week 19 Ultrasound - how exiting! And soon half the pregnancy is over - how fast!
Have a nice week!

The long promised update
Its been a long time since my last blog entry and besides the obvious news, not much has happend.
The winter is finally over, spring is here with lots of sunshine, but not yet so warm temperatures.
My Swedish is getting better and better every day, I am still taking classes, although I think this will be the last one now. I am pretty fluent and am making less and less mistakes.
I started my new job almost 1.5 months ago and it has been very hectic since. I am trying to take it a bit easy and not stress too much, but it is hectic and actually I like it :)
I have been sick again, my imun-system is totally down and I am getting sick like every other month. This time I had Sinusitis and I had to take penicillin for 10 days. I finally met an Asthma specialist and she run some tests on me, my lung function is very good at the moment, which is great news! She gave me a new medication which should make me feel less dizzy.
The pregnancy goes great, the baby is due around my birthday, in October. I -luckily- did not experience any morning or afternoon sickness during the first 3 months (and also not later), besides being very tired and having more often headaches, I had/have no pregnancy-symptoms, which is nice.
The apartment renovations are finally finished, the only thing left to buy are balcony furnitures. And of course the baby-room but that will only be done after I gave birth.
I am slowly starting to look for names, so if you have any nice idea, please write it in the comment. We are looking for a Jewish or Israeli name, both girl and boy, since we don´t know if it will be a girl or a boy.
In less than 2 weeks we will finally fly to NYC, I can´t wait to be there, meet my friends and most of all shop pregnancy clothes :D
I hope to update this blog a bit more frequently, but honestly, not much is happening and I don´t want to bore you with my pregnancy topics. And right now I cannot think of much else then Babies and pregnancy :D

Time is flying....
.... and soon it is time to fly home again. The vacation in Switzerland past really fast and was as usual if I visit only once in six months pretty stressful. I spent most of my time with my family and some evenings with friends. It was great to catch up, but one week is just too short....
Now Mr. J.S. is freaking out on me about all the stuff that I bought here, things which in his eyes are totally unnecessary and which is probably true, but gives me a feeling of home when back in my new home. So here just a few of the things I bought:
- wet cleaning towels for kitchen and bathroom
- sugarfree cinnamon chewing gums
- cereal bars
- vitamin pills
- Parve chicken soup and soup mandels
- bags of tomato risotto
- tights and underwear
- crackers
and some more things.....
As usual we have much too much luggage and I do not know yet how we will manage without paying over-weight. We have two large suitcases, one cabin suitcase, one golfbag, one computer bag, 3 large paintings, a guitar, my hand bag and a small plastic bag with two crystal bowls. Oh and this time we are flying and not driving, so luggage is really limited - wish us luck :)

Didn´t see that one coming......
Just when I thought life would be calm for a while, something new comes up!
Today our CEO was in the office and asked me if I have a minute to talk. Sure, why not ?!?!?! He said that he is looking for a new assistant and he got a recommendation from my current boss to ask me?!?! Well, I didn´t see that one coming! Of course I can´t turn down such an offer and after talking to my boss I told the CEO that I would be pleased to support him in the future!
Guess this means bye bye calm life, but I am always up for a new challenge!

calm life
Thanks for your lovely well-wishes. The cold passed, but the asthma-problems not quite yet.
In less then 3 weeks we are flying to Zurich to spend Pessach with my family. I can´t wait to see my parents, my siblings, my friends and just hang out! It´s almost six months since I was "home", a very long time eventhough time just flew by.....
But as usual I need something new to look forward too..... a new vacation, what´s better then that? We booked our tickets and will fly to New York end of May - YAY! Can´t wait to see my friends, walk around in the city and enjoy spring in the big apple!!!
Life is good right now, it is much calmer, just what I wished for, but with that less blog material.
Shavua tov to you all!
