7 months
i am pregnant. i am 7 months pregnant. i am just coming to realize the absurdity of this situation. it's not like we men carry the child inside us, so theres someone in the other side of town who is carrying a baby which is 50% me. i do not have a girlfriend. i have had girlfriends although not for several years now. i have had real relationships. but this one is something else, although i must add we get along quite well. it was a night in april, that i went to a bingo evening in my school. they have social evenings there you know. and my friend had come there because of the choir she is in. well, we met there. we have known each other quite long now and we even tried to have a relationship, it just didnt stick. no hard feelings. these things happen. i just can't come to realize it. it's too heavy. the coming of a human being itno this world is a supernatural thing, something we cannot quite understand.

Hi hallvardur,
Are you still good friends with the mother of your soon to be child? How will you arrange things once the baby has come? How are you feeling about this?
This seems like a very difficult situation - but babies are just so cute. Maybe he or she will look like you!
yeah, we're still friends. there are many women who have a strong persona on this blog. this one i've been seeing on and off for about two years. the other one i lived with about 3 or 4 years ago. this is pretty confusing you know, but i like it this way. and i wouldnt want it otherwise. of course i could make some kind of nameless blog. but i don't actually see a point in that. well, you know this might be a bigger thing in other parts of the world, but in iceland its pretty common. so nobody sees it as a disgrace or anything. its hard yes. its certainly a strange experience.
I don't think these very human things are uncommon anywhere, but different places handle them differently and attach different stigmas to them. Most of my friends are unmarried and have children but live together and are committed and stuff. I think in some ways the USA is more conservative about this kind of thing than Canada is, but that could just be my own experience.
Still, I can imagine that this will be quite a challenging situation even if you both get along very well. I think it will be exciting for you and scary too, as I think parenthood is always a bit on the scary side. Not that I would know…
i am generally into exciting and scary stuff. :)
i'm sure you'd make a good mother though, like the one in kill bill.
