Look who came to visit! "It's like we are having a staycation right, Mama? Woohoo!"

The first birth experience usually affects the subsequent ones, doesn't it? For me, I gave birth to the big girl in a small town called Karlskrona in Sweden, where the hubby was posted for naval training. We didn't have to pay for the stay other than a small admin fee, we had a huge private ward with two beds - one for me, one for the hubby, the nurses and midwives were friendly and traditional - they used wooden pinard stethoscopes and measuring tapes, I sat on a gym ball instead of lying down, they asked me if I wanted ice cream to relieve the pain instead of mentioning the word epidural, and there was no such thing as a nursery which means our baby girl was with us 24/7 once she came into this world.

All these were precious memories and learning experiences for me, and I cherished that opportunity to witness a different culture that I might not have able to otherwise. So for my subsequent births in Singapore, I requested for my baby to room-in with me every single time, I had the courage and confidence to say no to epidural and I appreciate the comfort and calmness of my ward.

Yup, this is indeed the only 'staycation' we have willingly paid for (our occasional family hotel staycays are sponsored but you do know I work hard for every one of them in return, right?) and I love it because when the baby rooms in with me, it's just me and him/her and that bond we build right from the start is invaluable and irreplaceable.

Sure, the nurses tell me I should just sleep and let them take care of my baby, or that they can supplement with formula so I don't need to breastfeed exclusively, or that I don't need to change soiled diapers and can leave it to them. But, didn't you just say this is my baby? I was taught to be an strong mum with my firstborn - we had to feed, change, burp and even bathe her ourselves at the hospital too, under the guidance of the nurse - and that's how I want it to be for all my kids right from the start.

Treasuring the close bond I have with each of my kids, especially so today. You are my motivation to persevere. Love you, my babies! ❤

P.S. These two were also born right here 8 and 5 years ago. How time flies!

📷: Icehotel. Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. January, 2012.

The big girl said "Mama, my teacher was telling my class about a hotel in Sweden that is built entirely out of ice. So cool! I think you mentioned to me about it before, right?"

Yes, my dear baby girl. In fact, you didn't just hear about the Icehotel, you set foot in it when you were two. That's one good thing about technology because the pictures we took and the blog post I wrote will serve as precious, everlasting memories for us.

Here are some fascinating facts about the Icehotel we visited:

- It is the world's first ice hotel and sits in the village of Jukkasjärvi in northern Sweden, 17km from Kiruna.

- Spanning over 6,000 sqm, it is said to be the biggest hotel of ice and snow in the world.

- The Icehotel only exists between December and April, and has been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Sweden.

- It is rebuilt each year from scratch by ice builders and artists from around the world. Thus, each room is one of a kind and the architecture of the hotel changes every year.

- The hotel is completely made out of natural ice from Torne River, one of Sweden’s national rivers and last untouched waters. When the art and parts of the hotel melt, the water returns to its source.

- The indoor temperature is set on a constant -5°C. We were told guests could not bring in anything with liquid (but to keep them in the common toilet which is warm) as they would freeze.

- There are 55 cold rooms consisting of Deluxe Suites, Art Suites and Ice Rooms.

- Everything, including the chairs, the beds, the furniture, the decorations, the thick walls, the floors, the ceiling, is made out of ice and snow! Besides the rooms, there is a ice bar with glasses made of ice and an ice chapel with ice benches too.

That is simply amazing, right?

Did we stay overnight? Nope, we didn't because we thought the cold might be too unbearable for you but we did stay for a few hours to explore every room.

One day, perhaps, we can revisit this beautiful place with your little brother and sister. For now, let's cherish all these priceless memories and hold them dear.
