A new niece

Vi har fått ännu ett syskonbarn. Den 30 mars fick min andra syster Mikaela en dotter. Hon föddes med akut kejsarsnitt, men både mor och dotter mår bra.

More babies.... My other sister Mikaela gave birth to a daughter on March 30th. She was born by c-section, but both mother and baby are doing good. We are looking forward to meeting her in the summer.
