Christmas 2007 with Elisabeth and Jørgen

Turning into a small family

Isn't she beautiful?

Sebastian has got a little sister!

Marie-Louise has arrived! On Wednesday the 12th of December, at 12.43h, she was born by Caesarian, weighed 3290 g and meassured 49 cm. Tue and I had been ancious to plan for a 'controlled' birth of the baby, and we had therefore decided to 'take her out' 10 days before she was due. Everything went very well, and all the staff in the operating theatre sang her a birthday song, while working on my stomach. A truly great start of her life!

We returned home from hospital already on Friday, and Marie-Louise seems to like her new home. She is very sweet, not very loud and VERY, VERY hungry. She eats all the time ... We had her tested for Fanconi Anemia in week 12, showing no FA, and we are so happy to have a healthy little sister for Sebastian. 

Sebastian is - so far - very fond of his new little sister. He calls her 'Rie-Louise', asks to sit with her and loves to give her the dummy (he is probably a little envious!). In the days up to the birth, I think that he sensed that something were to happen - only he did not know exactly what it was. He started to become a little fussy in kindergarten, and one night, as my parents were about to leave our flat after visiting, he told them very frankly: please take the pram with you, will you? We will see how things go - for now we just try to involve him in every sense.

Christmas is coming up and Sebastian has started to become very interested in what he should wish from Santa Claus. The list is getting longer for every day passing! Santa showed up in kindergarten the other day, and althoug Sebastian is still very scared of him, he managed this year to go up to him and offer him some money. A rather smart move, if you want something in return ;-)

Getting very close to b-day! Christina and Kirstine

We had a very nice visit from Sofie, Mathilde and Line
