[Oh god, what a start of a week… I woke up way too early (it seemed) this morning, stiff in my neck and head after a night of bad sleep and discovered there is no hot water in our shower. Eeeeek! But it only got worse from there. After getting my daughter up, fed andRead more
[A warm three day labor day weekend is over. We’ve been experiencing a heatwave and Anna and I visited Darya today, Anna’s classmate, (after a visit to the hospital and a nap). Darya’s parents had invited us over to take a dip in the pool in their housing complex, which we gratefully accepted and thoroughlyRead more
[I just checked the blog and noticed we haven’t updated in a few days. Hmmm… What happened, I find myself asking myself? 🙂 I guess we noticed how boring our life is after Steinunn and Einar left 🙂 on Thursday night and we feel like there are no news. Anna Solrun told me the followingRead more
[In about an hour, Bjarki Freyr will be 9 weeks old, or 35 weeks or minus 5 weeks. This morning I called into the hospital and of course the nurse admitted to trying to wean Bjarki down from 96% oxygen saturation, which is where he hangs out when he’s happy. For some reason that annoyedRead more
[Bjarki is two months old today. It’s kinda freaky how quickly time has passed, but at the same time, time hasn’t passed quickly enough, i.e. he’s still in the hospital and everybody keeps saying “He’ll grow out of (insert issue)”. Today though was the first day he was dressed in a shirt that we’d broughtRead more
[I’ve spent the past four days (from noon until dinner) at the hospital with Bjarki, with a coffee break around 3pm. He’s now old enough to qualify for “fresh” breastmilk (previously it had to be frozen for at least 24 hours), so I’ve been arriving at the hospital and pumping. Then, right as he’s gettingRead more
[The last three days with our houseguests have been busy: On Thursday I took Einar, Steinunn and Anna to San Francisco to look at the Golden Gate, drive them down steep hills with Anna in the back seat laughing all the way down, visit Pier 39 (with Anna fascinated over the sealions) and then toRead more
[I went to the hospital today for the first time in three weeks. THREE WEEKS!! Well, I did peak in for 10 minutes last Monday with a mask but only saw Bjarki’s nose since he was facing the wall and I didn’t want to touch him. So today I probably went a little overboard andRead more
[Tomorrow and Friday is a day off for Anna at the daycare, so I took two days off from work to be with her and Steinunn and Einar. Nothing is planned yet; I guess we’ll decide tomorrow. Bjarki becomes 8 week old tomorrow (Thursday). I went to visit earlier and there is nothing new really;Read more
[Finnur’s sister, Steinunn, and her boyfriend Einar just arrived from Iceland. They’ll be staying with us for 10 days, and then Anna will get her bed back (and not a moment too soon in her opinion!). I spent the day at home yet again, I’m still not quite healthy yet. Bjarki’s third eye exam wasRead more
