Update

Life's great!

I love that it's fall again! I think it's always nice when the season changes, but somehow the arrival of fall is especially amazing. Every year at the end of summer I feel like now life can start slowing down again. It's the best thing ever to put on sweatpants, drink tea in candlelight and watch movies in our movie theater on the balcony 🤍.

Eerikki's parental leave ended at the end of August and so I am back at home with Jordan. I have mentioned that my return to work did not go exactly as I had planned. Jordan still needed me a lot and I felt that the baby's needs come before work. So I got some work done, but never a full day. I really like my research so it was annoying at times, but then we agreed with my mother and Eerikki that they will organize together about 8 hours of working time for me every week now that I will be on parental leave, so that feels nice. Eerikki still has his paternity leave left unused, so we will change responsibilities again at some point next year and maybe then I can get more work done when Jordan is older.

So, I'm now a full-time mom and I'm pretty excited about it! I've been trying to make plans and find us hobbies to fill our days with because both Jordan and I get bored quickly at home. I'm planning on writing an "Our week" post soon, so I can tell you more about what we do with our days and share tips for activities with the baby.

Next time, however, I'll tell you about our wedding anniversary trip, so I'll be back soon in a French mood!

Bisous!
