There's a pharmacy near work where they have some electronic scales where you get a printout of your weight. I made the mistake of going there this Friday and it said 95 kg. There, in writing. I nearly fainted. I'll try to reign in my eating because I still have the rest of November, December and January to go before I give birth. I think I need to

hm.... shame about Sigurd - it's a nice-sounding name! And Ragnar! Heee! One of my friends (a New Zealander, no less) has named his son Ragnar! So, it's not that old-people's name any more! (and I must say, little Ragnar is adorable! His sister also has an old-fashioned name; she's called Tova - which is old Irish, apparently!)

LOL about K's expectations! But I don't see why not! :)

I need to lose weight as well, before I go home for Christmas but so far it's not happening.... It's so difficult!

I hope your results of the glucose test will be fine - let us know how that went!!

Ragnar is old-fashioned in Norway. I have heard of it used in the US or other places but ultimately it matters what the perception of the name is in Norway too. Imagine if someone decides to go for a Greek name with zero knowledge of any connotation for those names or what they actually sound like and then says "Oh, decided, I am naming the kid Vrasidas or Thrassyvoulos or Theofrastos or other pretty old-person sounding names.

oh, I see.... Shame - it's a good name...

(a friend of mine had a cat called Thrasyvoulos! :) a female one :) she was very feisty :))

I knew a Greek-American Thrassyvoulos. He was very handsome and went by Thrass.

My brother likes Ragnar too :( We'll push for it, you never know, it might be one of those names that are getting a revival.

WOOHOO! THRASS! Ok, that is awesome!!! :):)

Yeah, between Ragnar and the Norwegian pronounciation of Thor, I tkind of like Ragnar a bit more... (although baby!thor has such a lovely ring to it *G*)

Oops, forgot, will share results of the glucose test, don't worry. It'll probably be nothing.
