Again nothing has been written in a while. Hasn’t been much to be said really. This weekend my parents and one of my sisters came to visit us here, which was quite nice. They live about 7 hours away from us, driving, yet they always manage to make the trip 9-12 hours long. Not too familiar with the road, so not surprising really. But they have driven here before, so I assume their memory expands to the same as a goldfish has. :P
My graphics-card is dead by the way, and for that Marte was kind enough to let me order a new computer. I at first was under the impression that the whole machine had been blasted to oblivion, and after a bit of whining, she let me buy a new computer. Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?) I did some damage-checking afterwards, and it turns out that only the graphics-card was damaged. Ops? :P
Not much has happened here at home, besides my parents giving us a hand with re-decorating the living room, and us giving away Marte’s computer to Claudia, my youngest sister. We’ve still two desks to get rid off before the room is ready to be given a makeover.
Not a very good day today, trying to hang in there. Eagerly awaiting the new computer, and yet again thinking of how Michael will be when he exits his mother’s tummy.
Speaking of which, our cat Pandora recently had kittens! Three in total, and very cute. Last time she gave birth, things didn’t go so well.. fortunately the kittens all seem healthy, and they sure can make some noise if they first are at it.
I’m off again, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.
Here I am, back from the trip to Bergen. I really enjoyed the trip, as it gave me a chance to get to know my sisters and parents again. I’ve sort of been feeling like that for a while – that I’ve lost the good contact I had with my family. I guess that’s bound to happen when the time comes for you to create your own way of life. I spent my time there watching the series Heroes with Christine, learning “magic” coin tricks with Viviana, and just kidding around with Claudia. I also got a chance to spend some more time with Natalia and my nephew, Martin, which was very relaxing and nice.
Yesterday Marte and I were to see the doctor again, as Marte had been set back 4 weeks last time we were there. Her mother accompanied us, which was quite nice. :) We got to see our baby again, and got a few more details sorted out concerning its weight, age, and the day the baby supposedly is to be born. In this case, October 14th should be Michael’s birth date. :) He has been kicking like mad of late! I’ll be posting another image of him in 3D when I find the pictures.
Seems I always tend to write my posts during the night-time. At this hour, a few minutes over midnight, I’ve only good things to speak of. Today has been a good day. I’ve gotten a chance to talk properly to my sisters and parents. Had a good long talk with my father today, and with my oldest sister. I didn’t realize I missed those moments until today.
My mother showed me some home-knit things she had made for Michael Sebastian, they’re really lovely! Some really cute blue socks with a blue bow on them, and a whole white set to keep the baby warm during the colder days.
I spoke with Marte before I went to bed, god how I miss her. Been away from her one day, but still feels like forever. Still feeling like this after 4 years – this is truly love. :)
Indeed a good day.
The clock strikes 1.03am upon writing this. Just finishing up the last of my packing before I head off to Bergen tomorrow, to visit my family. Marte couldn’t come unfortunately, so I’ll be traveling alone. I’ll get to see my nephew again, and spend some time with my parents and sisters. I don’t really see them much, as we live quite the distance from each other. But this visit will be good. God knows I need it.
Not much has been written these past few weeks, I know. Not that I haven’t had anything to say, it’s just hard to put words on feelings. Some feelings I haven’t allowed to voice at all, probably never will.
Our next visit to the doctor’s will be the 15th of May, we’ll see Michael Sebastian kicking around some more in mommy’s belly. Marte has been sensing him kick more and more of late, and even I have had the good fortune of feeling it once in a while. Marte’s mom will accompany us, which is nice. A free ride is always appreciated. And she’s a good person, of course. :P
Still many things to think about, but trying to deal with one thing at a time. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. And the one after that.
