Been listening to this song pretty much non-stop the whole day after I happened to hear Mr. Daddy sing it to Sigrid last night at the NICU when I went to get us coffee (for him and tea for me). Thought I should share it. Lyrics translated with some help from a good friend of mine.

So, Mr. Daddy dropped by yesterday. I do not think he had understood the severity of the situation until he saw Sigrid. He really was quite shocked by the sight, even though he had seen the photos. "What is that cannula for? Is it normal for her to do that? Is she in pain ( Read more... )

Exactly eleven hours and thirteen minutes ago, my doctors told me that I would go into labour within the following 24 hours. Because the Baby weighs over 500 grams (barely, but still), she has chances of survival, and thus the doctors would not even attempt to stop her from being born. I, however, tried to cling to whatever hope I had left of my ( Read more... )

Nothing new, really. We are still waiting. The contractions have continued, but I am not about to go into more active labour. (Am knocking on the wood every bloody time I say or write that.)

Everything has gone quite well. I have managed to keep my legs crossed - at least for now. The contractions have continued to get more serious, but the doctors seem quite convinced that we can keep her in there at least until Wed or so - possibly even longer ( Read more... )

And that way, my friends, is music. Classical music. Jazz. More classical. More jazz. The volume so high that I cannot hear the thunder outside. The volume so high that I cannot hear my cell phone ringing. The volume so high that I cannot hear my own thoughts.

Last night was quite horrible, Baby-wise. Had some contractions and started to freak out for real. Could not really get any sleep at night, was busy thinking about all the things that could go wrong - or could have already gone wrong. So, I got up at 8 am, went for a walk - and after having walked for a few kilometres, I had a few REALLY intense ( Read more... )

Mr. Daddy went back to Sweden today. Yes, he spent a night at my place. We had it coming, did we not, working together for a few days again? But we did behave ourselves this time - mostly because the Baby has been all weird for a little while already. (Been more active today - did not call the doctor ( Read more... )

Got invited to a friend's place to celebrate midsummer in a couple of weeks. Know not yet if I should go or not. Promised to tell what I am going to do by next Friday ( Read more... )
