LOVE

To my beautiful daughter

I love you more than words could ever describe.

I would die for you.

I could kill to protect you.

I promise that I will do everything I possibly can to make sure that you get a good and happy life.

From now on you are my life, and I will love you until the end of time.

At home with Maya

My God; time just flies by. Maya is already 17 days old. Mike has been home with us every day until today. Now he is back at work again.
Today is the first day that I am alone with Maya. So far, so good!
My friend Ida S and her baby Lilly (21 days old) have been here for a visit today. We ate a nice lunch on the patio. The little girls are so adorable, such shame I forgot to take a picture…

The days since we got back from the hospital have been amazing. We have been in our own little bubble with Maya for a while, and then most of our friends have been here to visit us. The days go past really quickly and they mostly consist of breastfeeding, changing nappies, doing laundry etc, but I love it!

Maya has been born!

The last picture of the baby belly. Taken 2 hours before the water ruptured.

At the hospital around 18pm, doing the CTG-measurement.

The delivery started with the water rupture at 15pm.
We went to the hospital to do a CTG-measurement at 18pm. It showed contractions every 3minutes, but because I did not have so much pain, Mike and I went for a trip around town to kill some time.
Around 20pm I had a lot more pain and we went back to the hospital. They did an examination and told me that I was open 3cm.
I had a bath and then the contractions went from painful to super intense.
I had a bit of gas and air, but I did not feel much effect from it.
I also got an epidural but it took the doctor 30 minutes to get it right. I got stabbed about 10 times in the back…Only 20 minutes after that I was almost fully opened, and it was time to start pushing (which meant that I did not get the proper effect from the epidural)Finally! I felt I had to push all along, but I was not allowed until the last hour of delivery. At 00:57am on the 4:th of May she was born. Her name is Maya!

New born Maya.

Miss cute face :)

Waiting, waiting and more waiting. Getting bigger and bigger...
At the moment nothing is happening...:/

40+1

Yesterday it was "Valborg" here in Sweden. Linn and Tuva came over for some "fika" in the daytime.
Mike, Martin and I made a BBQ in the evening and then we went to look at the bonfire at lake in Nybro. It was nice.

Today I have been baking cakes.
Mike and his friend Muhammed had some coffee and cut the grass in the garden.
The weather is lovely and sunny now. I have been sat out in the sun for quite a while today.

I have decided to sell my car. So tonight we are putting it up for sale.
