Okay, a lot of people seem really serious about me getting out. I'm sure it's great and all out there but really wasn't planning on going for at least a couple more weeks. I mean, the food is pretty awesome here and it's all warm and cosy. I am really quite comfortable in here. I think they should just let me stay for a while longer.

It seems like someone is trying to get me to leave this place. Stop that, I like it in here!

There's also another person around. My moms keep calling her mommy so maybe I have three moms?!

Woah! Trumpets are WAY LOUDER than guitars!

Today mom made chocolate chip cookies again. They were delicious! I don't know why she doesn't just make them every day, the rate she eats them.

At some point this morning there was a bit of a ruckus as two strange men came with some kind of contraption for the washroom. Mom was really excited about it but as far as I can tell all it does is spin clothes around to make them less wet. Seems silly to me because 1) why do you need clothes? and b) being wet is wayyy more comfortable than being dry.

YAP. (That stands for 'yet another appointment' for all you old, un-hip people.)

Saw lots of people today at the hospital. A few of them like to grab mom's belly and poke around to see where I am and how big I am. It's kind of rude if you ask me. At one point I was certain the doctor was conducting an unlawful search and I tried to shout, "AM I BEING DETAINED?" but nobody listened to me.

It seems like people want me to start leaving soon but I don't see why I should. It's pretty comfortable in here, especially when mom doesn't do something silly like lie on her side.

Today we (me, mom, and mom) were all riding on the trikk down in Grünnerløkka and it was super crowded and stuff. I thought that I could be helpful by stretching myself as big as possible so that someone would offer up a seat to mom but it didn't work! She had to ask somebody to move over. I guess I need to make myself EVEN BIGGER next time!

Loooong day at the hospital this morning for appointments. It's sooo boring. Mostly we just sit there and wait. I guess it's "hurry up and wait" training, not that I know what that even is yet. The best moment was when we went to see the obstetrician, who wasn't the same as our regular guy. He took one look at me and said, "So... the other doctor told you it was a girl...?" HAHA, that's pretty funny! TRUE STORY!

I thought mom was getting a bit too comfortable, and it's getting a bit tight in here, so I thought I'd swim a bit more vigorously tonight. I think I made mom throw up. Sorry!

More driving! I don't know why anyone would ever complain about this, it's pretty much the best thing ever.

We spent a long time in a car again today. There were all kinds of voices inside the car. They weren't my moms' voices but they were still soothing. I bet those people could have jobs on the radio.

Oh geez, I thought I lived in a cold country? Why was it so HOT today? And people around me were realllly excited. I'm just glad we got to eat an orange pop. I don't mind the extra heat and sun if it means I get to eat fun things like that!
