Slow Walks and Sunny Moments
I drove to the neighboring village of Knarvik yesterday because I wanted a bit of a change of scenery–and a chance to take longer, easy walks with my baby in the pram. I also felt like going somewhere new, somewhere I hadn’t really explored before. The sunny weather made it even better, like the perfect…

My Postpartum Reality, Today
Having a baby is one of life’s best experiences. It’s so beautiful, yet it can be overwhelming. It’s a striking contrast, as we can feel both joy and sadness at the same time. When I found out that I was pregnant with my second child (see post), I got anxious because I was worried about…

Insert Me Time
Having an infant and a grade-schooler at home means less time for everything else. “Me time” and sleep have suddenly become luxuries, but I’m grateful to have healthy babies. Since I’ve been busier than ever (and sleepier), I’ve been drinking more coffee than tea to keep me awake during those witching hours. Now that the…

Round Two
I never thought that I would experience pregnancy again. That’s why I believed that I was just sick during the past few months. I was surprised and shocked when the urinalysis results came back positive- and even more shocked during the first ultrasound appointment with the midwife. The fetus was already big! I was already…

Thank You!
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving compliments and positive feedback at work, and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge them. As I’ve mentioned before, working with people is never easy because we all have different personalities. There are times when certain individuals can get on your nerves, and at moments,…

It Works!
The treatment for my migrane works and I couldn’t be happier. For some years, I’ve been suffering on and off from the migrane and it had driven me nuts some of times the attack occured. My GP prescribed Candesartan, a blood pressure medicine. Yeah you read that right. Even though I have Sumatriptan for the…

Recuperating
I’ve been sick for a month now because of rhinovirus and strep infection. I never thought that a common cold could be so cruel to me this season. I used to be better after a week but this time is different. The bug forced me to stay home for a month and also caused a…

The Nerve(s)
So it all started last year. At first, I could just ignore it. The intensity was bearable and I still could hide the effect and my reaction when it happened. I thought that it was just a phase. I was wrong. I pretended that I was allright every time because I don’t want to catch…

5 Weeks to Go!
So, I just signed up for a relay race and today I’ve already started planning on how am I going to train for the race. It’s a 6 kilometer run and damn I already get bored after half a kilometer! My plan is to first run 2 km straight without breaks and increase the distance…

Physically Present
I still exist. At work, at home and on the road. Trying my best to co-exist with my thoughts. It’s weird though because the thoughts are actually there, yet I feel that those thoughts are confined in a see through glass box that I can see but cannot access whenever I want to. Because of…

One of those days.
No matter how careful you are, sh*t can still happen. I can still remember when my car slid off the road because of the snow/ice last Sunday. I was shaken and scared. I thought that I won’t be able to get back on track again. Luckily, my car made it and I moved on without…
