The father of the lime-sized baby...

I've been somewhat busy for the past year, which is why the news that I'm pregnant is a surprise to a lot of people. A couple people so far didn't quite understand what the facebook announcement was about, even though they had noticed the changing (growing!) fruit on my facebook profile pics!

But, no, it's not a joke - I am pregnant. For some, it's strange, because even though close to me, there hasn't been an opportunity to meet Mikko! So, understandably, I got a few questions about the father!

So, here's a brief profile (sorry Mikko!) - I randomised the features after I wrote them, so there's not order of importance here.

1. Square glasses, mmmm :)
2. Artist
3. Gets along well with my parents
4. Actor/Elvis impersonator
5. Tendency to panic
6. Super emotional (makes me seem like a very rational person in comparison)
7. Met 1 year ago
8. Likes Italians
9. 1 year older than me
10. Architect
11. Impulsive
12. Cookie-enthusiast

Something changed

One year ago today, in a scene involving the lovely Mimosa, a Russian busker named Dima, some people floating on poles, and Tatu's band rocking a cellar, something changed in a moment and would never be the same again.

And although it's a public celebration in Helsinki, no matter where we are in the world, the third Friday of every August, or the Night of the Arts, will always be our night, too!

Later today, something else will change, too... but not yet...

Things that make me cry...

Ok... so I'm super silly today (well, in general), and am the office trying to dry my tears. Yes. That's right. And why? Because I've seen two youtube videos that are for some reason making me emotional today. Well... I'm just very emotional at the moment - don't ask me why if you don't know why (it'll all become clear soon).

The first video is a sweet 'christmas card' by David Fonseca:



The second one actually *is* quite moving, I think. Unless I really am behaving irrationally today. The portuguese really know how to sing! This is Dulce Pontes featuring Andrea Bocelli performing O Mare e Tu:



Would anyone who speaks portuguese care to translate for me?? Marta??

I can now get back to feeling like the heroine of a Hindi movie singing about my ever-beating and hurting heart, with little tears at the corners of my eyes...
