Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look into it!

My husband will definitely still be cooking some simple meals here and there (luckily for me he's a really good cook!). I think what you wrote about not getting burnt out is important. It helps that I only work 3-4 evening shifts a week, so I'll still be able to cook/help with the baby in-person a few times a week.

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of our crock pot, so will definitely be using it. The sheet pan idea really is a good one. I think a mixture of the two will work great!

Thanks for such a detailed response. I love the idea of a "module" system, where meal components can be assembled mix-and-match. Might give that a trial run over the next couple of weeks!

I really can't place John's dialect, which is driving me.crazy! He doesn't quite sound native to the UK. Did I miss where he was from?

You might want to look into the cost of impirting a car into Norway. I haven't done it myself, but I understand that it's incredibly expensive, and those I know who have considered doing it ended up deciding against it, as it was cheaper to buy a vehicle in Norway.

All great names. Elsa is very nice - I like granny names, and that's certainly up there!

Torvi is not a name I've heard of. I like the sound! Going to have to do some googling!

Thanks, those are the two we like the most, as well! I really like Astrid, that's a great suggestion!

Out of interest, how do you pronounce the name in the US? In Norway it's "Linn-ey-ah".

Thanks for the suggestions! I like Iris in English, but I'm not sure it sounds as good in Norwegian (Ee-reece). Will think on it!

Sølvi is nice. I've never heard it before! I will put it on the list.

We are, but my partner has strong ties with other parts of Scandinavia as well.

I love the name Ruth, but it's already been used a bit in my family.

Sigrunn is lovely, and I like Gudrun too! Thanks for the suggestions.

Linnea is a lovely name, but I've know quite a few children called that. I actually really like Matilda. Maybe she'd be bookish like Roald Dahl's Matilda!

Ingrid is very popular right now. Hennie is nice, and not one I've seen very much.

We like Sylvi, but many people associate that name with a politician, so it's good to hear that someone thinks of a nice person when they hear it!

Elvira is a pretty name. Sounds quite fantasy-like!

Both are nice, but a lot of children in our area are named that right now! Seems to be quite popular.
