Vaccination

This morning I went for my first vaccination. I met a nice nurse and a new doctor. I really liked the doctor, she was so good to me :) She checked if I followed her face and after that she was making a lot of sounds. The sounds were so funny that I had to smile as big as I could. She was so funny to play with. She also let me stand up. Ok, she held me, but she let me put my weight on my legs :) My weight by the way, 5145 grams. Still 55 cm though... I wonder where that weight goes if I don´t get taller??? ;)

She also put me on the tummy and was amazed how good I could hold my head, and turn it. Why was she so amazed? Who wants to be on the tummy and not see anything? Better learn how to hold the head early...

Then she was asking mom and dad a lot of questions and all of a sudden she stang me in the thigh. Holy, I had to give up one scream just to make mom and dad aware of what was happening. They didn´t even notice that she gave me the vaccination, and probably wouldn´t if I wouldn´t have let them know ;) We got the 5 months vaccination fluid with us so I can get it in US. Hope grandpa V can help giving it to me. If not mom or dad has to do it. PLEASE grampy!!!

After the appointment we went home and dad went for his last day of work here for a while. Yippie, he is going to be home for a couple of days before we leave.

And some not so good news. Mom wore a too tight sportbra, the day before yesterday, when playing badminton. So yesterday she woke up and had big nuts in one of her breasts. Some milk channels were blocked. Nice job mamma. So I was sucking and sucking the hole day and hardly anything came out from that breast!!! It ended up with a very sore nipple and a hungry me. When dad got home mom used the milking machine to help the nuts go away and dad fed me all night with bottles of breast milk. Lucky me that I have breast milk in the freezer :) In the morning, the nuts in moms breast, were almost gone and it was coming a normal ammount of milk out again :) But we decided to use the bottle today too because of the sore nipple. I miss breastfeeding, but I also understand that it´s not nice for mom to get pain when feeding. Maybe I get lucky tonight to be breastfed :)

Good night everyone, I am off to bed

Grandpa P was here

This weekend I had my first visit from Sweden, grandpa Persson and Ann-Catrin was here. They came thursday and left sunday. Grampy was a bit sick when they arrived but he got better, so we could play and hug :) It was so nice to have them here. Why can´t USA and Sweden be small islands outside Iceland??? So I could see everyone at anytime...

We went out with the carriage and played at home, but mostly I was sleeping, as usually. Grampy thinks that I am so strong :) Even if I knew it, it´s nice to hear it again ;) I can hold my head up now for very long time and last week I started smiling to daddy :) Smiling spontaneously, I only did once when I tricked mom and dad to pick me up when I was suppose to sleep.
This weekend I rolled over from being on my back to be on my tummy. But that was just a one-time-in-a-while thing. I was angry that they put me to bed, so I kicked and twisted as hard as I could. All of a sudden it made me turn to my tummy :) and that´s my favorite position to sleep in. As soon as I can figure out how to do it again I am always going to sleep on my tummy :) They can´t do anything about it...

In a week we are going to USA to see my other grandpa, Vorenkamp for the first time. And I hope that grandpa and grandma Vorenkamp can handle having us there for such a long time :) It´s exciting to see grammy V again!! And her garden ;)

Now I am hungry and have to eat, mmmm :)

Kisses and hugs

Done visiting the doctor

After wishing to quit taking my medicin, he added more amount... But just for one more month with iron/C-vitamin and two more months with santac (against reflux). He checked my butt again and couldn´t find anything :)I peed on the weight, I am going to complain to the board of the hospital, that there are no bathrooms close to the examin rooms... What if I need to pee!!!

At the hospital we met one of my friends from intensive care, Hörður Anton. We sat with him, Guðný and Finnur for quit a while before we went up to intensive care and said hi. There they asked if they were allowed to use a picture of me, when I was almost 2 weeks old, in a letter that all parents get when they are leaving the intensive care with their babies. I think they like my smile :)

I am 4.890 grams :) and 55 cm. The doctor want´s to see me again in the end of august because we couldn´t come earlier (US-trip) Then mom realized that we wont be in Iceland in august either. We got an appointment September 25th, 13.00 (This was just for us to wright down so we have it written on many places) We just need to get an appointment with a neonatal doctor in US if we think we need to.

On thursday we are going to have a pizza party with Bryndís, Indy and Opale. I have been waiting for 2 months to see Indy and Opale, jippiiiiiiieeee. And Bryndís makes the best pizzas as a bonus :)

Now I am just going to wait for daddy, he should get home in 2-3 hours :)

PS. I didn´t loose weight, I just wanted to put in a picture of me from when I was 10 days old. DS

Not the evening I wanted

I was looking forward to babysit Erla yesterday. Just when she arrived, my doctor phoned and wanted me to go to emergency at the hospital. Mom had tried to reach him 30 min before because I had blood in my poop, but didn´t get hold of him. When he heard about the blood he wanted us to go straight up to the hospital to be sure nothing was wrong. I could have told him that I felt goooood, but we listened to him ;) Waiting for the doctor for 45 minutes and it wasn´t very nice things they were doing to me. The nurse put this HUGE thermometer up my butthole and I am glad that both mom and dad were there. No fever and heartbeat and everything else looked good. She took my diaper because I had pooped again, 4th time today. She was going to take some samples to check so it´s ok. Then the doctor came and he just did like mom, looked up my butthole. And he couldn´t see anything either. He listened everywhere and squised me everywhere, also my balls!!! And then he put some wooden thing down my throat and it wasn´t very nice. I think I have never screamed as loud. I was put on the weight and with onzie and shirt I am ca 4.900 grams. BIG BOY :) And GOOD boy. The result from all this was that mom and dad just have to check my poop for a while. If it happens again, we need to check more. But for now I am good :)

Oh at the doctors I managed to pee on mommy. She was looking for a potty/toilet/sink for me to pee in but there wasn´t any in the room. She didn´t want me to pee in the sink (should maybe be sterile, bad to make it dirty) I held it for 3 minutes but I couldn´t hold it more. Just let it go on her. Sorry mamma...

We are off for the doctor in 3 hours, just my normal appointment, booked a month ago. I have so many questions for him :)

I am getting smarter :)

I think mom and dad had a hard weekend with me... I just found out that if I am put to bed, I can just scream and they´ll come in to me :) I hardly slept anything (compared to normally) over the weekend. Why would I? When I can spend time awake with mom and dad. It doesn´t matter if my eyes were sooo very tired, I wanted to stay up. On saturday evening I tried again to get to stay up with them, by screaming as soon as they put me down. And they just let me lay there and scream, grrrrrr. But after 7 minutes, when I realized that they were not coming to pick me up, I went to sleep. Oh it was nice to sleep. Who would have known after 8 hours of awake time? ;)
But I am probably going to try this trick again. And when I smile big smiles when they pick me up, they shouldn´t be able to resist... By the way, I had a reason to be a bit worried and fuzzy, mom ate something that made my stomach full of gas. I guess it was the grapes. No more grapes mommy, please!!

Mom and me went to buy groceries today. Oh my mom is strong! I wish that I get that strong when I get bigger, maybe in 2-3 years ;)
Everything is going good, I am just waiting for grandpa Persson and Ann-Catrin to come visit. They are coming on thursday and will stay til sunday, whiiiihiiii. And when they leave it´s just a week left til my first trip to a foreign country :) And then I get to hang out with more grandparents :)

I forgot to tell that I am babysitting Erla again tonight :) She is the best. I am going to try to stay awake when she is here, not like last time, I slept the hole time...

Love

I am so big

Yesterday I went with mamma everywhere :) First we dropped dad off at the american embassy. He got stopped at the security because he had a fork in his backpack, hehehe. What if he would have stabbed the fork through the bullet proof glass?? Dangerous... Better to confiscate it. But at least he got it back :) Good, because mom gets very angry when he looses forks bringing them to work...
Then we went to moms work and she was finnishing some paperwork that was left behind when I was born. I didn´t sleep anything visiting her work, it was too much to look at. A lot of people and a lot of things. I want to go there again some day, when I can crawl... We also went with moms tax declaration and to the bank. I am a big boy that gets to come with her doing all that...

And yesterday I started copying mammas faces... She looks so silly when she is making her mouth big and round and when she is putting her tongue out, so I had to try the same. I just did like she did and what a respond I got, they were smiling so much, I think I´ll keep doing that sometimes :)

Today me, mom and Erla went to moms work (again). Erla went for physical therapy there and we just went with her to go with her down town afterwards. When she was done with the therapy it was raining a lot and very windy so we just went down town to have lunch. Nice vegetarian food. I fart so well after all the vegetables :) Then we watched movies all rainy afternoon. As you see on the picture, I look pretty good in our couch. But mom is very sad because she doesn´t get to control the remote anymore ;)

Tonight me and dad had a bath, he is so filthy after work so I just have to bath him when he gets home. I love bathing with daddy. I also love having a bath with mommy, but then it´s hard to focus on the bath, when the food machines are bare and temptating.

Now I am off to bed, tomorrow I am going to baby sit Erla, she is coming over when mom and dad are going to play badminton. When Erla left today she told me to poop before she comes... Hehehe sure, I´ll hold it til she gets here so she can put me on the potty and wipe me.
Good night everyone!

Getting stronger and stronger

We had a really nice weekend over easter, even if mom and dad mostly sat in the sofa eating chocolate eggs. Nothing much happened. I am mostly sleeping and eating, but I like beeing awake 2-3 hours in the morning. Then I am mostly talking to mom and my caterpillar. He doesn´t say much but at least I can say whatever I want to :)

Yesterday our little family went for a 2,5 hour walk. Nice weather when we started up, rain/snow and windy on the way home. We went to see Bryndís and her daughters Indy and Opale. We couldn´t go in to them because my doctor said that I shouldn´t see kids at all because of RS-virus. But I met them outside. I think that I soon can spend some time with them before I go to US. I could see that mom had missed them soooo much.

After the walk it was very nice to get home and eat. And I slept like a puppy for many hours after the walk, even if I slept the hole walk...

We also got visit from Lúðvík, moms and dads friend. He is thinking about coming to France with us. That would be so nice if he can make it! And hopefully I can see Heiðdís Anna and Kristleifur before I leave to US. They are Lúðvíks children and mom says they are wonderful.

Oh I forgot to say, I tried out my new swing that I got from my great grandparents Conklin. It´s awesome. It rocks back and forth or from side to side and it has some birds and things that are circling over my head, with different sounds. Sometimes it sounds like I would be in the woods. Dad puts me in it when I am fuzzy so I better fuzz more so I can play in it more often :)

Sweden and France, here I come

We got the house in France and mom have booked flight tickets for us. First we go to Sweden (july 27th) and stay for a night in Stockholm. The day after we´ll go to Bordeaux, through Paris. Then rent a car and drive to Montalivet, ca 1 hour drive.

When we have been in France we go back to Sweden and stay there for 4 weeks, jippie!! Nice to get to see my aunts and uncles, grandparents and great grandparents. I hope to go fishing with grandpa and great grandpa. And out in the woods! I guess mom and dad are just going to sit and eat swedish food, dad can´t stop talking about that he´s going to eat one swedish pizza a day. Yuck, what´s wrong with milk??? I guess by then I have started eating some solid food. The doctor told mamma that she should start giving me solid food around 3-4 months. Probably because of my reflux problem, solid food keeps down in my stomach better than milk. But I guess I wont get any pizza, I´ll stick to cereals and fruits :)

I have been a bit hard to mom and dad lately. I don´t like the changing table and I don´t like wearing a diaper and I really let them know. As soon as they put me down on the changing table I twist like a worm and try to get away and I make loud noises. And when they are going to put the diaper on I give away one or two loud screems, but they still put it on!!!

But I love feeding, I can do it for hours and I do if I can. Mom doesn´t allow me to lay there and just suck if I am not feeding. Something about getting sore nipples... Sure...
Today we are just going to have a lazy day, nice to have dad home all day :) Watch movies and eat!

Today I had to give mom a bigger smile than before. Does grown up people know how silly they look when they are squishing their faces up to me and talk to me with silly sounds and voices. I can´t do anything else than smile...

I think it´s enough for today

Love to everyone

Waiting for the summer

After a couple of days feeling a bit sick I am better. It would have been nice to go out in my nice carriage today but I better wait a day or two.

The nurse came yesterday just to check up on me (and my mom I guess...) As usually she weighted me and mom almost fell to the floor, taken by surprise. It showed 3.060 grams. 1,5 week ago I was 3.640 g. Both mom and dad have been talking about how heavy I feel and usually I gain weight pretty good. Strange...
But then mom saw that the nurse put the edge of the weight up on a high edge on the changing table... A new try and now we got it right :) Big boy!!! I am 4.190 grams!!! If I gain weight like this I am going to be ca 120 kg when I turn 10...

Yesterday I had a visitor, Bryndís, moms friend. It´s nice to see her. She was helping mom booking a mobile home in France next summer. We are hopefully going there for 2-3 weeks in the end of the summer. Mom doesn´t speak french so Bryndís phoned for her. Mom phoned last week but the lady didn´t understand english very well. We sent an email with all facts and now we are just waiting for a respond. The lady Bryndís talked to, said that they had mobile homes availible at that time. Jippie!!! As soon as we get the confirmation about that we can get the mobile home, we are going to book tickets to France, Sweden and USA. Oh I hope they respond today!!!

I also have to tell everyone that dad planted tulips last fall and finally they are coming up! He has been out checking on them EVERY day since I got home from the hospital, March 1th. Hopefully they bloom before we leave to US.

Love
Noah

Lazy Day

Hello again! I needed to put a picture up of me with Grammy. She's the best. I can't wait to go to Michigan and see her and to meet Grampy and Allie and Merc.

Today was fun. I layed around and slept with daddy almost all the day. I like grabbing and pulling on his beard. And mamma held me while we all watched a movie.
