Birth story (ok, novel)

I apologise for the absolutely obscene length of this. I tried editing it down, but once I get going it's really hard to shut me up. Also, it's been two months so I just need to post the damn thing already. Gjörið svo vel! I was due January 23rd. Several days on I was still twiddling my [...] Read more...

She's here!! :)

Our baby girl is here‼ :) She arrived at 3.38am on Monday the 28th, 52cm long and weighing in at 3,550g. She's perfect in every way and Borgar & I are absolutely ecstatic to be parents. :) Thanks for all the congrats messages! I really appreciate them and I hope you guys understand me not having time [...] Read more...

Still pregnant

It's my due date today! It's so weird. I've had this date, January 23, in my mind for so long and now it's finally here. :) I wish I could say the same thing for the baby, but she seems to be perfectly comfortable in there and not showing many signs of wanting to join [...] Read more...

37 weeks

I'm officially full-term! Woohoo‼ The baby is now safe to come at any point from now on, though I'm guessing it'll be at least a couple of weeks before she actually does. I have to admit, I'm so ready for this pregnancy to be over! It's been an amazing experience but the selfish part of me [...] 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...

6 months down...

…3 to go! I'm 26 weeks pregnant, just 1 week off the 3rd trimester…‼ All this time I've felt like it's been going way too slowly, but now I'm reaching the point where I'm starting to stress about all the things we have left to do which is, well, everything! I guess I feel kind of [...] Read more...

Ultrasound

Well…I was right! It's a girl‼ :) Or at least she appears to be -of course, you can never really say for sure until after the baby is born. I have to admit that secretly I was kind of hoping it would be a girl, so I'm pleased, even though I would of course have [...] Read more...

Halfway there

I'm 20 weeks pregnant today…the official halfway mark, yay! Tomorrow we find out the sex. We actually thought we'd find out last week, but the baby got shy and refused to show us the goods. Hopefully we'll have better luck this time around. We've both had a feeling it's a boy, but on an earlier [...] 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...
