Adventure. 
Here's an article i didn't read through, but liked the last paragraph:

Looking back, this is what I would tell laboring women, and anyone else who throws doubts at the extreme task we are set. We have ample counsel on how to do this, and it comes from the world of adventure. That is how labor should be viewed — as a solo sail around the Horn, as a free climb, as a trip into the void. How do women do it? We do it the way Eric Newby did it. The way Josh Slocum did it. The way Edmund Hillary did it. Sometimes, when things go badly wrong, the way Robert Falcon Scott did it. Breath by breath. Tack by tack. Foot over foot, until we reach the summit. Just exactly in that way.


Our Sunday had some adventures too. Different kind.
When we were outside it started to rain quite heavily, but as we got home, it was raining inside as well. That was a surprise!
The attic is being rebuilt and ... as of, there is not much roof above our apartment apparently. But the construction-workers came some hours later and did some covering, so at least in the evening there was no dripping sound coming from anywhere. Our neighbors had the same fate as we, but a bit worse, as they might have to replace some of their ceiling. But i hope not, 'cause their too awaiting a baby and are soon moving to a house with their older toddler and awaiting new tenants - enough in their hands as there is.

It is really autumn! Can't yet believe it...
