It’s starting to feel a bit one-step-forward-two-steps-back around here, at least as far as appliances and the like are concerned. No sooner did we get our washing machine fixed yesterday, than Olof’s Nintendo DS Lite got broken and my hard drive crashed. Gah!
I left the house this morning at 8:15 to take Brynja to town for her PKU blood test and a check-up with the pediatrician. Our appointment was for 8:45; you’d think that they wouldn’t have had time to get terribly behind schedule at that hour of the morning, but you’d be quite wrong. The doctor… Read More Hectic
Yesterday evening I walked around the corner into the living room, and was met by this cozy scene: I have to admit, though, that I was more startled than appreciative of the cuteness. I actually shook my head to clear it and blinked my eyes a few times before I believed what I was seeing,… Read More Déjà vu all over again …
Just a quickie with a couple of pictures — the first is from last night, when she was a couple of hours old, and the second was taken just before we finally headed home around one o’clock this afternoon. Oh, and for those who keep track of this sort of thing, she weighed 3975 grams… Read More Pictures and Stats

Skip the fancy flavors and the sugar coating — just give me plain oat rings and… Read More Dashed hopes
Olof bought this game today, and it’s been keeping him and Tage occupied for the better part of the afternoon. The combination of Legos and Star Wars is every father-and-son geek duo’s dream come true — I don’t expect to see much of either one of them for a few days, at least.
This afternoon I had what I fervently hope was my last regular appointment with my midwife. I do have another one scheduled, but it’s not until February 18, and if I’m still pregnant on that date I swear I won’t be responsible for my actions. Either which way, things are good right now — maintaining… Read More 39 weeks and counting
My washing machine appears to be broken. Bah.
