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 ( Read more... )

Baby update: It's definitely a boy. Name will probably be Thor (don't laugh, the father is Norwegian). I had said that if it was a girl I would name her Lena but if it was a boy I gave the boyfriend freedom to name him. My only restrictions were to use a name that I can pronounce and that doesn't sound ridiculous in Greek. His first choice was Odin ( Read more... )

I had a really great birthday weekend with the boyfriend :) Saturday we went out to Dr Feelgood in Exarchia then Wunderbar for some wunder-cocktails and then Revenge of Rock for some good romantic headbanging. I like Revenge of Rock, typical place where the guys are dancing and the girls are sitting, sipping their drinks and giving them bemused ( Read more... )
