8 days old

Mía had her 1 week birthday yesterday. I meant to have her birth story written & published by now, but man, that thing is turning into a novel! So far everything's going really well. She's feeding well and is a pretty easy baby overall. She already has a little bit of a cold & fever, but [...] Read more...

EEEeeeeewww!!!!!

I just realised that yesterday I must have eaten a skyr (similar to yogurt) that was NINE FREAKIN DAYS past the use-by date! It was only bought a day or two ago. How nasty is that? Read more...

Appointments, appointments and more appointments...

I had a doctor appointment yesterday, today, one tomorrow, then again on Monday and gestational-diabetes testing next Thursday. It really makes me realise how lucky I am to live in a country with a good public healthcare system -I don't have to pay a króna for any of it! In other news, I still haven't been [...] Read more...

Yet another pregnancy post

I'm now nearly 32 weeks pregnant! Just 5 weeks until I'm considered full-term and 8 weeks until my due-date! My biggest news is that I've stopped working! I was having so many fainting spells & contractions that my doctor & midwife were worried I might be headed towards premature labor. I've been off work for a [...] Read more...

First kicks!

I felt my first kicks last week! It's hard to explain what it feels like -the best I can come up with is that it's somewhere between a finger tapping and how it feels when you can feel you heartbeat in your belly. Other times it's this weird clunking or turning sensation, when the baby's [...] Read more...

Breaking the news

So those of you out there who don't know (that is nearly all of my friends), I'm pregnant! I'm nearly 16 weeks along and due January 23rd. We're very excited about it, but I've been so paranoid about something going wrong (I still am‼) that I've be reluctant to tell anyone. Also, I'm sorry for [...] Read more...

Fat

My diet consists of: pizza cake cheese bread bacon lasagna (my latest obsession) lots & lots of chocolate stuff containing tons of butter (eg everything I cook) The only real physical activity I get is running around at work. So why am I not drowning in my own blubber? I'm nowhere near as fat as I feel I should be, given my lifestyle. Is [...] Read more...

Sick...again!

I'm sick again, for the 750-billionth time this year. I was feeling pretty pale and queasy all weekend; today I am sweating, shivering, 38.4 fever, worshipping-the-porcelain-god sick. Being sick all the time is insanely time-consuming. It's also becoming very expensive. All I want is just to get well and STAY well! Read more...

Hooray for (my) boobies!

Apparently, the vast majority of women wear the wrong bra-size. Typically they wear the cup-size too small and the band too big, or vice-versa. I decided to measure to see whether this is true for me. Well, I got the band-size correct, but it turns out I'm actually more than a cup size bigger than I [...] Read more...

Flowers are evil!

Allergies are driving me insane. My eyes and nose are all red and puffy and watering, my whole body is itching. I look like a fat kid who's been crying all night. God damn you, pollen! Read more...

May resolutions

1) Listen to more music, watch less TV Watching TV makes me feel crappy. I never used to, but somehow I've gotten into the habit of turning it on during the evenings when I'm tired and don't have energy for much else. Unless I've been watching something remarkably good, it usually just makes me feel vaguely depressed and [...] Read more...
