First: T H A N K  Y O U so much for all the wonderful feedback after I posted our birth story! It has been overwhelming, and it has made me even more certain that following my gut was right, that sharing personal stories have great value, and that we need more positive birth stories out there. Having such support from people from all around the world is really humbling; I am so thankful for all of your feedback, whether it's here on the blog, on instagram, Facebook or e-mail. Love!

Today was such a lovely day. We packed lunch and hiked up to a landmark around here; a tower on a hilltop (Freja likes to call it the Eiffel tower), the view up there is mind-blowing. The weather was warm and sunny, the kids hopped along and it was just really nice. I feel rosy cheeked and happy. Nothing like the great outdoors!
