We picked up our friend at the airport in Denmark and hopped on the train to go to Copenhagen. We spent about 6 hours walking around the city. From the Central Station, past Tivoli, down Ströget the big shopping street and all the way to Nyhavn.
Copenhagen in the summer is such an energetic town yet laid back and people are just soaking in the season. We had no plans or agenda except for getting the feeling of the city and do what we felt like doing or going.
We stopped on the way and had our late lunch. The weather was wonderful. Sunny, not a cloud on the sky and about 74F or 24C. There were people out shopping, sitting at the cafés and restaurants. Street musicians were playing jazz in every corner. Copenhagen is known for its great Jazz.
There were street entertainers. We stopped by this lady that sort of stod still like a statue. Once you put som coins in the bucket in front of her she rang a bell and let you pose by her for a picture. Later on we realized she gave Sam bunny ears.
Towards the end of the day I was very tired. The baby has started to “lean”. It is hard do describe it. Like it is sort of pushing out on one side. It is uncomfortable and I sort of have to push back. Strangely enough the baby is always doing this on the same spot every time.
All in all, we had a great day with a lot of wonderful experiences. It has been like summer over here the whole weekend but tomorrow it will drop back down to mid 50´s.

Good to see that you are having a good time together! Welcome to Sweden Nathanael!
Mirjam, it´s quite common that the baby does what you are describing. It’s getting bigger in that restricted area and soon it won’t be turning around as much. About 15 weeks before I had Tobias he stayed in the same position the whole time always kicking hard in the same area. His feet were on my left side and his back was on the right side. (Butt up and head down). How is baby MirSam laying?
Love,
Jo

Seeing Nathaniel in those pictures makes you guys feel closer somehow, maybe because you are with someone I just saw in Minneapolis a week ago. Weird to think about how easy it is to travel so far.
I hope Brandon, Riley and I can be in pictures on your blog someday, when we get to travel to Sweden.
Miss you guys! Hope to connect with Miriam someday to hear about the pregancy - I love hearing and sharing pregnancy stories now!
P.S. I remember Riley sticking out one side often too. And I remember, more recently, seeing Esther create a lop-sided belly on Shiloh.
