Hey guys!

I'm really sorry I haven't blogged for a while but as you can imagine I've been kinda busy. And either way I've been keeping you updated on facebook. Speaking of which, thank you so much for all the lovely comments and messages!

But just for the record and for those who might not have facebook here's a recap:

9th of June 2010

5.30 - Sofie wakes up...her water has broken!


8.00 - Sofie starts having contractions.

9.00 - Sofie goes for a walk with her friend Anna.

12.00 - Sofies mum picks us up and takes us to the hospital.

12.30 - CTG-test!


After the CTG-test the nurse sent us for another walk. At this point Sofie was quite uncomfortable but still handling her contractions brilliantly. When we got back to the delivery ward they did another CTG-test and then they exmanined Sofie. She was 4 centimeters open so we were sent to the delivery room.

15.30 - Sofie tries the laughing gas for the first time.


The hours that followed Sofie kept up the good work. God knows how she did it but she managed her contractions beautifully and she was absolutely amazing. Apart from the laughing gas she didn't have any other pain relief!!!

19.30 - The pushing begins!

19.48 - OLIVIA IS BORN!!!


She weighed 7 pounds and 15 oz and she was 51 centimetres long.

And here are the amazing mid-wives, Jenny & Ewa, at Södertälje Hospital that helped us through it all.


And here's the first picture of our little family.


Words can't explain how incredible it feels to be a dad!
