[Today was a good day. Possibly too good. Probably the calm before the hernia-operation-storm if anything. The main events were as follows: a) Bjarki was wide awake for lunch and set a new record. Ate 74 mL in an hour straight from the cow. b) The eye-doctor pronounced his eyes “improved”. Both eyes now haveRead more
[(Update 9/24: Just fixed a couple of spelling errors]Uppfærsla 24. sept: Lagaði stafsetningarvillur. [The events of today were as follows: Finnur disassembled Anna’s “little” bed in our bedroom and we replaced it with her old crib. Anna wanted to know why he wouldn’t be in her room, and we told her he’d wake her upRead more
[Bjarki passed his hearing test today, yay! 🙂 It still looks like they’ll send him home (on oxygen) in about 2 weeks, but first he has to learn to eat better. This week they found he’s developed an “inguinal hernia“, which needs to be fixed, so he’ll probably have surgery sometime next week and spendRead more
[Bjarki is now 12 week old, or 38 weeks, or -2 week old (depending on how you look at it). He measured just under 3.4 kg tonight and 49.5 cm. Anna was born about two weeks early and was then 3.2 kg and 49.5 cm so Bjarki seems to be doing well in that respect!Read more

[Bjarki moved to the smaller IICN room today, hopefully it’ll be a little more quiet than the big room. He did pretty darn good at the breast today, came pretty close to getting half of his feed two out of three times. The eye doctor came by late in the evening and declared him toRead more
[We got a lot done today: some housecleaning, bike repair, purchase of a carseat for Bjarki, wash three loads of laundry and two visits to Bjarki, to name a few. Yesterday we did a lot less – but managed to attend Fraser’s 40th birthday celebration (Hrefna knows Fraser through Stanford); a party he was clearlyRead more
[Bjarki finally moved downstairs into the intermediate nursery today. Yay! 🙂 Sadly, neither of us was there to witness the momentous occasion; Finnur was at work and I lay sick home in bed. Yes, I’m sick again, this time with a stomach bug which started this morning, but thankfully subsided around noon. So in bedRead more
[Bjarki’s 11 weeks today, or 37 weeks or minus 3 weeks. No news except that “occupational therapy” changed his bottle nipple from a “slow flow” to “normal flow” so that he doesn’t have to work as hard for his milk. We’ll see if that helps him drink better from a bottle. No news on theRead more
[Just called the NICU before going to bed and it turns our Bjarki had his preemie MRI exam at 10pm. The nurse figured they’d know tomorrow if the pictures came out ok (i.e. not fuzzy due to movement) and they might even have some results. Who knows! We’re still stuck in the NICU. Turns outRead more
