  3. Hej Anette!
    I'd like to ask you - in your opinion, why do many people think that it's totally ok for a man to have kids and a career, while a woman should give up her dreams and stay home?
    I find it annoying that many people think it this way, and I'm glad you're showing the world that they're wrong ;D
    Love,
    Elisa

  5. Elisa: Hi! I dont know actually, but for me, I cant understand that its 2010 and still many people have this opinion. When having a child and being parents, its something both father and mother goes into and are responsible for, not only one part. Of course a mother carries the baby, gives birth and need to breastfeed it so we do have a very special role in the first time with the baby. But other than that, a father can do the same role as the mother and be a stay-at-home dad too. I think the whole discussion about a mother not being able to have a career is quite absurd and I do hope most people can see that its not fair to women to have that opinion. But its a hard thing to discuss since it is so divided in our society and everyone has their own opinion. For me, it has worked out very well to tour and having a child. I was a stay-at-home mum with my son for 1,5 year and will also be at home with the coming baby for more than a year before we start touring again. And we also try to not tour for to many weeks in a row so we dont have to be away from our children to long. When I am at home, I can be with my child full-time and he has never felt abandoned or suffered for me working. We all need to do what feels good for us. Either what we decide to do, noone else should tell anyone how to live our lives. Its up to each family to take those decisions;=)

  7. Hey Anette!
    Congratulations, I'm so happy for you! I'm glad to hear everything is going well!!
    I've also got a question for you; right now in Holland there is a lot going on with 'gender selection'; choosing the sex of your baby. I think it's quite strange.. how do you feel about it?

    All the best!!
    Lots of love,
    xx

    You're a great mum and i'm sure your child is going to be absolutely proud of you :)
    Congratulations!!!
    Best wishes for you, your family *-------*

  9. Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!
    Anette, I JUST walked in the door from
    school, and I haven't even said hi
    to my mum who got off work early,
    and I got on your blog and you have NO IDEA
    how happy you've made me!!!!! I'm sooo
    happy for you! I'm sure your son will love
    having a sibling, I was wondering if you
    would later ever regret not having a sibling
    for him, but it's nice that your having
    another child even though it was unexpected.
    I seriously cannot stop smiling, it's like
    your my own mother saying your pregnant,
    I'm just so happy for you!

    Don't stress over the solo or Nightwish,
    because your child's very important,
    and everything will work out fine I'm sure.

    Can I ask a few questions?

    If this is your first child with your bf,
    and you aren't married, and he has no other
    children, how did he and your families take it? Have you picked names?
    You said something about not caring if it's
    a girl or boy, but is there one or the
    other you, your son, and your bf would want?
    Have you had any weird smells or cravings?

    Maybe that problem you had when cleaning
    the cat was worse because you were pregnant...

    But if you have time, please I'd love for
    you to answer for me.

    Like I said, I'm SOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!;=);=);=)

    Hugs and love and kisses for you
    and your baby!!! Katie T.

  10. Hi again Anette,
    thanks a lot for your reply :-) I totally agree with you! You're so right, when having a baby both parts are responsible and take care of her/him, not just the mother. And although women have a special role, there is no reason to sacrifice all of their life and dreams! This is just pointless! Me too, I'm surprised that such opinion is still there nowadays, but I'm glad more and more women are brave enough to show that it's wrong, and I'm glad there are great supportive fathers like your bf :-) I also think your children will be proud of you, 'cause you're teaching them that it's perfectly possible to follow your dreams and be a great loving mum at the same time. This way they'll grow up stronger and they'll know how to follow their own dreams too :-)
    I'm sure that things will work out perfectly with the new album/tour and the baby.
    I really admire you for living your life by listening to your heart and feelings always! :-)
    Have a nice evening, and sweet dreams to you and your lucky baby! :-)
    Elisa

  11. Congratulations!
    I'm crossing my fingers on one hand for-the other I use to salute you and your family, especially your bf who seems to be a responsible and caring man.

    I was wondering at first about the tour but you and the guys are all adults. You will work it out. And after all, you're not the only one in the band who has toured when having small children. If Jukka and Marco can do it, you can.

  12. hi Nettan!
    first of all I'm very happy and proud for you,your boyfriend and for your son now that he have a brother or sister *-*

    do you think about the name of your baby?
    if yes, which names?

    we will gona see pics of you pregnant? =D

    we know that its very important for the babies to listen msic even before the birth.I want to know if you did this with your first kid.If yes, what kind of music you put to him? =D

    thank you so much since now <3
    wish you so much luck in this new step of your life, a lots of happiness and healthy years for you, the father and specially your baby!



    P.S: I already post it but here is better ^^

  14. CrimsonAnna is right :)
    I'm glad to hear that your boyfriend is a great person, Congratulations for both!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Anette, you're so right with what you said. The most important is not to stay at home constantly with the baby, especially if the father could do the same things. It's not like you will not be with the baby shortly after the birth and will not care for her or him. If you're home constantly but without giving love to your child, it's a waste of time and it will only do bad for the children. But if you give her or him love and support, then your child will be happy - and you too, because you know you give your best, and you'll share wonderful moments with your child.
    I could tell you that between my mother and you, there's no doubt to say who's the best mum. (but then my mother don't deserve the word of "mum" - even my father, as bad an awful as he was, was able to act like a daddy for a while)
    Of course i don't know how you are in your everyday life, but for what i know of you you're a great loving mother who really care about her child. THIS is precious.
    And BTW, your son seems to be a really nice boy... :)

  23. Okay, so in this post-

    http://anette-olzon.blogspot.com/2010/02/morning.html

    I remember commenting about how freaking
    thin you look, and seriously,
    no one could look at that picture from
    February, and say you were 3 months pregnant. Because you seriously seem to be
    good at losing weight and keeping it off.

    One more question in addition to the ones
    I asked in this post that you haven't
    answered yet is, when you said you had
    something new in your life but you didn't
    think it was the right time to say anything,
    were you talking about being pregnant?

    Hugs and love, Katie T.

  36. Hi there, Nettan!

    First of all, congratulations! I wish you all the best, always!

    Now, I wanted to tell you a little something.. I'm a Psychology student and during the past semester I studied about pregnancy and psychological issues concerning that. I accompanied a teenage girl during her labor and it was something overwhelming, in a good sense. I learned how important it is to be focused in this period of life, how important it is to breathe properly and how important it is to exercise every day so that the baby can be well nourished by your body. I'm sure you already know all of that, being a mom and all. =) However, I just thought it would be nice to share my experience with someone dear such as yourself who is going through everything that I studied so much. Take care!

    Hugs from a caring fan,
    Leonara Carulina

  37. Hi dear! Today the day for me was great, and more when I saw that you are pregnant.
    I think parents are always thinking will be a boy or girl, you already think about having a couple before anette?

    Already have an estimate of when will be released the music of your project?

    Kisses and a big hug for you and your beautiful son or daughter.


    I love you Forever ;D

  39. OH NO, YOU CANNOT BE PREGNANT, I THOUGHT YOU WERE PURE... YOU STALKER... I hope your kids don't follow your steps and live the life entirely pure! (?)

    Just kiding... It was so... I'm really surprised, but it is quite wonderful... A kid... Will it delay the next album in any way?

    And, is it a good news for you? Do you feel really happy and special with it? I feel happy for the child, it's so special to have such a cute and sweet mom like I bet you are!

    I love you so much, I really love all Nightwish history, and I apreciate a lot what you do in the band, I'm dying to see the next album and I hope to see you REALLY happy with this new child... I bet it will have the sweetest mom ever! I hope to be dad someday, but not now, I'm too young...

    I made a post for you in my blog once, but you never saw it anyway...

    I hope to say soon 'hi hi beaultiful' to this so special upcoming baby!

    Love you, guys!

  51. Kära Nettan!

    I've only just read your big news (or little secret, as you put it), and can't stop grinning because of it (and I'm supposed to work right now ;) ).
    This reminded me of what an amazing world we actually live in.
    So congratulations to you and your family, I really hope that everything will go alright :3 I guess this baby will grow up with a lot of beautiful music. (And I think that's how it should always be).

    Ha en bra kväll,

  52. Hej, 9 years age difference is good! My son was also 9 when his little sister was born. I could never manage with 2 babies...this agelimit is good and bad..now it turns little bit bad, cos son is 15 and little sister is bit "pain in ass" ;) But they love each others even it doesnt always look so. They have also different dad and my ex is luckly good dad too. You might face that stupid attidue that you dont love anymore your son when you will have new baby with "new man"..that hurted me! how could I love less? Even close ones said so. I have to prove them how wrong they were. One advice..take your son so much as he can, with new baby "stuff" and TELL him how much you love him. I have told my son that sometimes when baby cryes (like ours did for first months ;( ) mom is tired but it doesnt mean that I dont love you. I did all sort of thing with him only...I am sure it meant lot to him too.

    I wish you all the best!!!

  53. Anette! If I'm actually talking to you right now, then that is like the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. I'm sorry.. I swear I'm not a creepy weird person.Just a crazy 14 year old Nightwish fan. ;) I'm trying to sound different than the other extreme fans of yours, though I don't know how well that's working for me.
