Here are a couple of baby-bump pictures taken shortly after midnight on Feb 4th, so they’re technically at 37w2d (ultrasound estimate). (And I seem to only remember to hand Finnur the camera for baby-bump images very very late at night.)Read more
This doesn’t happen often, but this weekend the kids and I managed to meet all their Iceland-dwelling grandparents and great-grandparent. We met my mom briefly yesterday when touring Pétur’s and Signý’s new apartment. Sadly, I was too spaced out and stressed about the remainder of the day to remember to take pictures. Today we visitedRead more
Yeah, nothing much to say about today. I did write a long ToDo list, and wondered if I should put ‘Write ToDo list’ on the ToDo list, just so that I could cross it out. Decided against it, mostly because I was out of paper-space. Happily, some stuff got done, and I live in hopeRead more
It’s February! And tomorrow marks the official 37 week count and ‘full term’. Yay. 🙂 Today was a little bit of this and that. We began by hustling out of the house considerably earlier than usual so that I could show up for monitoring at 9 am. Adorably, the Icelandic term for ‘monitoring’ (more commonlyRead more
Finally, January is drawing to a close. It hasn’t been the funnest of months, particularly with me either parked on the sofa, or hobbling about on crutches for most of it. But there is more daylight now than when it started, so at least it’s gotten something right. 🙂 Quick preggers update: No protein inRead more
All this ‘doing nothing’ is wrecking my sense of time. If it weren’t for Anna needing specific things for school on certain weekdays (for example: Wednesdays are school-swim days), I would probably be utterly lost. But yes, today’s been Wednesday. Apparently. After the high blood-pressure reading on Monday, I met with the midwife again thisRead more
Thank goodness for small mercies, and functioning immune systems. Bjarki’s body apparently tackled whatever was bugging his throat last night, and he woke up feeling fine. To celebrate, I slept until noon. 🙂Read more
The status of my left leg has reached farcical proportions. I’ve now seen the physiotherapist three times, and every single time a new portion of my hip/thigh/knee has been in trouble. It’s like pain-whack-a-mole! The good news for today is that I’m not in pain when lying down (unlike yesterday) but the bad news is thatRead more
This Sunday started out super lazy. A little tooooo super lazy for my tastes, because I had grand plans to TIDY EVERYTHING (well, let Finnur TIDY EVERYTHING) but he really just wanted to have a quiet Sunday. As in, a “weekend”. Nesting really sucks when your left leg is out of order. And you’re grumpy.Read more
Today was essentially a ‘no-op’ day, in that very little happened except time passage. I guess there were a couple of highlights though: 1) Getting my left foot worked on by a physiotherapist, and 2) meeting someone unexpectedly at a restaurant while getting an early lunch after physio. So yeah. My left foot is inRead more
