Not quite how we imagined..

Ok, the story I promised... 
I realised after I had posted the layout the first time that the title of it (not the title of the post, the two lines picked from the song) can make it seem like a very depressing layout, but it does have a happy ending.
Two days after my baby boy was born was diagnosed with appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed. Only day after giving birth (normally with any complications – except for losing a bit too much blood) I got a fever, started throwing up and had severe stomach pains. 

Two days after, one day before we were supposed to go home, I was “readmitted”. Sondre had to go home and our little baby boy was sent to a different ward. As I lay in bed that night awaiting surgery, all alone, only two days after becoming a mum; I texted Sondre two lines from a well known Norwegian song. Loosely translated it means ‘this isn’t how we pictured this would be’. I knew that one should never expect anything giving birth for the first time, and it will never be anywhere near how you imagine it to be, but this, well, I never imagined it would end up that way.

I soon started thinking about a therapeutic scrapbook layout I would create as soon as I started scrapping again. Some weeks ago Scrapping the music – In Norwegian had the song, that those two lines were from, as their challenge for this month. I knew I had to get this layout done and submit it. And here it is :) The paper roll on the left side holds the story of what happened and how we managed to cope with the following weeks (as my husband left for work – offshore – only a week after I was back home..)
Well, thanks for reading
