Hey guys! I'm a trained doula and just wanted to tell you that there is a lot of people that choose to rent an Airbnb close to a hospital to be able to have a "home" birth but in a safer environment in case of an emergency. You might have already considered it, but anyway I wish you the best!!❤

I don't know how it works in Sweden, but can you have an 'independent' widwife with you? I know some hospitals in Belgium allow it, others don't. The midwife has to be an official recognised midwife with all the paperwork/studies, but you probably want that anyway.

NO good if you hemorrhage! Please stick with hospital. You’ve had too many problems, don’t take chances. I hemorrhaged with all 3 my babies and almost didn’t make it with my first baby. - deliver at hospital where a doctor is on duty.

Yes, scare the beedjeebies out of her…😳

No one should be flirting with someone in a relationship...that is just disrespectful. If someone was flirting with me knowing I am married, I wouldn't want to be with that person. Joking around is one thing, actually hitting on someone is just not right.

Your Cabin is beautiful and full of love . I used to be a baby too, and there was no water or bathroom in our house and everything was fine. They bathed me in a small tub where they brought water from the well and heated it on the stove. We all slept together in one room, parents, brother and I, and what's wrong with that? And we were happy and satisfied. Kalle, good luck with your plans and renovations in the house. I hope you manage to arrange everything on time .Sending lots of love to you .🥰

I love how you guys have such good compromising to each other and situations that there are 2 people living together, we know its not easy and you guys trying to hold hands more tight and figure out together. Thats very heart warming and so inspired. Whatever that you have decided it always lead you to there where you want to go.

Every birth is different, I planned on a natural birth but we ended up with an emergency c section after 8 hours of labor. Just stay open to the process as it unfolds. I found the medical staff to be helpful and kind and understanding.

You're handling this difficult situation great! 😊 Sending lots of love to you! 🥰

Having a mutual feeling of calm and trust in a relationship is so very important. Ive never had that. Im so happy you two have that! Every relationship should have that!❤❤❤❤❤Congratulations on the baby and the progress on the cabin!❤❤❤

as somebody in a relationship .. this was really great to listen to :) so open and honest and helpful

I just stumbled onto your channel and I love you guys!! You both are very authentic, open, confident and honest! Thank you

We love sleeping with our doggy babies too! Wouldn’t trade it for anything!! We have a 7 yr old pug, and a one year old golden doodle. We used to cosleep with our kids when they were little too. Don’t let anyone tell you what to do, love your channel! 💜

Hey Kalle, What is holding you back? That lady is a treasure!!! For her to say that she trusts you completely is something special and soooo RARE!!! If I were you, I'ld be down on one knee already😁😁 This is such a sweet video🥰🥰 Hugs to you both!!!

So great to catch up with you guys in the Real Winter. Appreciate the open and mature, wise answers and attitudes to life: lots of food for good though there. Thanks for all the positivity and possibility you put out there in the world, and best wishes with the continuing projects!

Hi guys, Kalle should stay with you in your parents home, if there's an emergency, you have someone to rely on. Lots of blessings 💐💐💐

Having the right chemistry with your midwife is so important: with my first birth I had a very horrible midwife for the first half of my labour, who wrote in my notes 'not coping with labour pains'. Thankfully she went off duty and the midwife, who delivered my daughter, was wonderful, she wrote in my notes 'coping brilliantly with labour pains' literally 10 minutes afterwards.....I delivered with no pain relief at all, in part due to the second midwife.

A lovely video, what a great couple you make. Your child will be blessed in your home, and I love how you are adapting to your situation. Building a family and a homestead is hard work and takes time but you will get there, and how exciting it is to look back on what you have built, knowing the tough days you have endured to get there. 🌷💕

I understand your fears. Don't let them take away your joy. Believe me I felt the same way. When the time came and they handed me my daughter and my son I had such an intense amount of love I can't put it into words. Love y'all ❤

I am so excited to see this journey unfold for you guys. Just know, that plans change, you can change your mind on decisions you have made or find that something else works better and THAT IS OK. No judgment. You learn as you go! Enjoy it!

You two do an excellent commercial for parenthood. The human race needs people like you folks out there showing others how healthy couples cope and move forward into life together, supporting and loving and overcoming difficulties through all of the ups and downs. Well done!

You'll love the cosleeping with the little one. My husband and I coslept with out twins thill they were 3 and half years old. It was beautiful chapter of our lives. Wish you safe delivery🤞🙂 and all the best❤

Agree about heating with firewood!! We’re up in North Pole Alaska and when it gets down to -15 and below the boiler just can’t keep up. We have to rely on our woodstove at that point

I went through natural childbirth here in the States. The hospital nurses were just excellent. They did all the preparatory things then left me to do my job, as you say. They checked on me often until it came time to start pushing. And they basically just caught him when he was born. I did all the work. No drugs, no interference at all. And even though I am an extremely modest person, being the only naked person in the room didn't bother me. I was too busy concentrating on breathing, making oxygen for my baby, and working with the contractions. You'll be surprised how much you don't even think about your naked body. You will do just fine! You guys are such a cute, wonderful, loving couple. I am truly excited for you both! It's such a wonderful thing to bring a brand new tiny life into the world.

Thank you for sharing!!! You two have great conversations and solutions! Best of luck and enjoy your family visits in Denmark!

Hello lovely parents! It is always smart to plan, educate yourself and prepare as much as possible for the birth of your little one. However, every once in a while step back from worry and surround yourself with the pure excitement of welcoming your little one. Mother Nature will ultimately decide exactly how the baby comes into this world. So excited for you!😍🇨🇦

Dearest Ms. Christine! Ok Sunshine- I'm a retired nurse. My first job was labor and delivery. ALL of the what if's, is something that can't be answered until the time comes. I know things seem like they need to be perfect. But they DO NOT. That may sound strange, but, you are missing the glory of carrying the child, and then the next step of being a mother. In the old days, YES babies were born at home, but it was customary that mom, grandmothers, and even neighbors were there to assist . But, we have lost that knowledge in this modern world. Honey, trust me, even if you have the best labor and delivery, you will STILL be more at ease having people around you that can take care of you, and Kalle, AND precious baby boy. Just stop and enjoy this entire experience. Things work out, not always exactly the way we want, but they still do. I will pray for you little Ms. People have been doing this for thousands of years. You too will take your place as well. 🤗sending you a big hug from Florida.

Everytime i check in w your videos. Ithink back to when you got started on You Tube. To see your journey unfold has been inspirational and Amazing. I run an animal sanctuary on my farm. I currently have 22 dogs, i understand the dogs in the bed. I have several in mine!😆 It all is excruciating work. I also have a Spring water system and totally understand how tough it can be. There is literally a constant repair or renovation needed on the house or elsewhere. You 2 have a great plan, slow and steady wins the race. Do everything to prevent your own burn out and youll be just fine. Lots of Love from Tennessee ✌️❤️🙏

You guys should create a baby registry so some of us could bless you with a baby gift( ex: diapers or stuff like that) just a thought I had!! Love listening to you guys!! It is very calming!! Your voices& probably where you live!! I can feel the energy ❤

You two are so great together. Very happy for you. Sounds like your plan is a good one. He's going to be a beautiful child, I'm sure! 🥰

What an exciting journey ❤ love to hear your stories and watch you both progress in your life together.

Oh totally live in the house with your girl. Go to the cabin during the day and work on it anyway labor starts usually at night time so you need to just be there all the time OK

Hello Christine&Kalle!! I’m so impressed with how you’ve both dealing with your pregnancy & renovations with the cabin!! Take your time with everything- rest as much as you can !! Sending you both lots of love and prayers!!😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏

Following your story is like watching a prince and princess. You are both so sweet and adorable. I wish you all the best of health and happiness with your new baby boy! Thank you for sharing your story with us! You are a delight ! What a refreshing change! The cabin looks beautiful too! Great job!

I think it's really wise to be in the house. All the practicalities are massive with a baby. But also, in that last trimester the nesting instinct is huge! I was so unsettled about my home and getting things right. It felt so important. I hope you will feel comfortable.

Thank you for sharing it about jealousy. This is how it should be! 🙂👏 And thank you for confirming that healthy relationships still exist 😇 I wish you both all the best 💜💙

❤ a heart emotion for good energy! :) Thanks for the video! I wish you the best!

Lots of love to both of you. Keep doing what you do and thank you for sharing that energy with us . Take care💙

This was great,really enjoyed it. Go inside and get warm now. Wishing you all the best 😊

Christine, I have had 4 home births and my first was an unexpected free birth and it was my favorite! Because I knew I was going to have a homebirth, I was prepared with supplies. I was not prepared to be 100% alone, but that's how it happened and as a woman, I knew instinctively what to do. It is part of who we are. You are going to be amazing!

I just birthed my first baby at home in Switzerland- a country with a 1% home birth rate. I spent 9 months researching freebirth and wanted to have one so badly but my partner/mother/best friend all said I should have a medically trained midwife for the first birth present. I had a 42 hour labour and only invited the midwife 3 hours before delivering baby - after 2 hours she said, “you have one hour to get your baby out or else we have to transfer to the hospital”. The heart tones were fine and there was no real reason to transfer - other then the fact that I was very tired. She said this in the transition phase where I had the textbook, “I give up” phrase coming out of my mouth - thankfully my partner and best friend provided a safe cocoon around me and told me they 100% believed I could do it - and I did - within the next 30 mins my baby arrived naturally, in the safety and comfort of my home. Next time I will not be having a medical midwife present at my home birth. Freebirth all the way - you’ve got this women.

This happened to us too when we had twins three years ago, and its not sorted to a way we wish just yet. We lived three hours apart when our company hadn't moved location up north yet(Skåne-Småland) And when we finally moved it up our forever home took way way longer to removate than ever expected. So we live in my parents basement two streets away, bless them. It didnt exactly look how I pictured it but this is how it is and there is so many memories my children have made with their grand parents that we will forever treasure. We had an amazing experience at the hospital with a natural birth, I could sit or stand or do whatever I wanted and feel free. There was six women doctors at the birth (twins) but at that point I had no idea of my surroundings and saw no one, thought of nothing but me and my work that was cur out, I was just in the zone. Hospitals can be great too.

Great catch up on your news 🤩

Whew! When I read the title I briefly felt very sad thinking you broke up. Glad you are being smart about what is best for your baby, even though it’s hard to be apart. Love your videos!

You have a unique life style and also a unique relationship, there is no right or wrong way to do things. As long as you both love each other and love the new child on the way.

You are both so sweet... I wish you the most wonderful experience with welcoming your family's new member, and all the love and happiness in the world, ever after!

Hi Christine and Kalle, I love your videos and the way you manage your life out there in the north. I just asked myself why did you two sit out in the cold, freezing and risking your health, for that video? I hope you are fine, cozy and warm right now. I wish you lots of good luck and good vibes and: congratulations for the baby boy to come 🎉 Take care of you, both.❤

Just come across your channel, absolutely fantastic and the best of luck for your first child your both going to do an amazing job

So beautiful how you complement each other. Last week for the very first time I made my own Rugbrod from my own sourdough starter. I was blown away by such delicious bread. It is going to be my default bread from now on.

I saw your shopping post, but couldn't comment there. Thanks for the info. Have you thought of using a cheap kids' flat-bottom sled for getting the bags home? -- much less work!!! You can also use them transfer items between the house and the cabin. Temporary running water = 20-liter jug + tubing & spigot.

As a mama of two, Your life is about to change for the rest of your life, for the better, but find a way to be together during this sweet eve. She is going to need more than 3 weeks of support after the baby is here, there is such an identity shift after baby is here it’s hard to find ourself again.

Happy New Year to both of you and lots of love for 2024 💖

I was disappointed to learn I had to have a hospital birth (because high risk), that killed my plans for a more natural setting. But my sister - a nurse midwife - just laughed and said, “when the time comes you really will not care that there is no lovely wallpaper or pictures on the wall 😁.” And she was right. It’s the people with you that matter, not the location. And there is comfort in knowing IF an emergency happens, it’s no big deal because you’re in the hospital. I ended up having a wonderful hospital natural birth, even with a doctor I’d never met (my midwife was on vacation!). ❤️💁‍♀️

Totally! We had a hospital birth and couldn’t not have wanted anything else. You feel safe with all the medical staff you need and if there are complications the chances are much higher of no one getting harmed. You are WAY overthinking it, and it’s just trendy right with free birth / home births, especially within hippieish people but if you truly care about the child you do it in an environment where it’s easiest to get help. You have NO idea on how the birth will go. It is gambling with the mothers and the child’s life!

What a wonderful discussion! You are going to be wonderful parents❤

You guys are amazing, so realistic, so focussed and so wonderful - what role models. I do love Christine’s vision of a homestead with animals and the kids running around - just good old fashioned values in a world gone a bit made. Thank you for always grounding us.

Hey !!! Love you guys I am so happy for your new journey as parents !!! I have 2 of my own raising them here in America and even with all the commodities it’s still super hard I am extremely proud of you guys !!

Love you guys so much

Thanks !!’ So interesting and informative!!! For some reason I used to see you often, now I just came across you again!!!! Congrats on pregnancy!!!

Co sleeping with my babies for the first few months is how we do it. Then after that, start off in the crib IN OUR ROOM and whenever they need to be with me, i scoop them up and put back in bed with me. Greatest decision ever for us. ❤❤❤❤ 3 birth in hospital and 1 at home...wishing i would have done all of them at home. I love your birth plan, always listen to your body.

It is so nice getting to know you both a little better. ❤🎉

'Safe infant sleep' by James McKenna is a great book. Cosleeping works really well for us, and I loved having the book to learn how we could do it safely as I was quite nervous about the tiny baby in the beginning. Best of luck!

But my experience of Swedish hospitals is that they don´t force you. If you are in the hospital and want to do it naturally you can. But if something bad happens they can help with modern medicine, and save lives. Its not likte the will force you to make a caesarean section. If all goes well and you kan handle the pain it is going to be only You, Kalle and an midwife and maybe a helpnurse present. You can bring music and what you like to the room. (exept the dogs...)

Haha yes, so true! I’m finding out first hand that fire is so necessary! It has gotten down to -14°C in my house as the chimneys aren’t working and the electrics are no use at all-24°C!

I love the way the two of you talk with each other. I raised my son with the family bed and 3 dogs and a cat. I never felt crowded.

Congratulations on the baby! And I completely get not wanting to share his name until you see him. When you see him and hold him in your arms you will know. ❤

Makes sense to me! 😊 Due to certain circumstances my husband and I lived in different locations for many years….not to our preference but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. We were married 33 years…so living in different locations is not necessarily a bad thing……life evolves and situations, preferences and expectations change…..Good luck to you.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story I love watching you . From Malta 🇲🇹

Such a great that i found your profile 😍Sending lots from Germany ! 🥰

Hello Kaleb and Christine, It's good that you're planning to do all these renovations. Because I think your life will be much better quality for it. And it really is okay to keep the baby's name to yourselves, enjoy that moment when you look at your child. It's so overwhelming and wonderful I know because I've been a mother twice now. Even though my two kids are grown, and have children of their own. But I can remember with each one of my children the moment they were born. My husband and I both looked at each child. And said their names at different points because they are both 3 years apart. A girl first then and a boy. Both of the names fit each one of our children but we savored that moment and it's okay that you savor the moment for the two of you. Before you tell it to the rest of the world if you choose to.

I can understand the feeling that you not want to live in the city or close suburban area, we have moved out to the countryside just an hour or so from Stockholm and I just love it out here. We have a big house and a very big garden and it's some sort of freedom just to look out through the window and you see nothing more than farmland. There are some backsides as well that you have to take in to consideration as you have your own water & sewer system, and nobody will remove the snow on your parking lot etc. But the feeling when you have done a long day at the office and you come home to the solitude and nature is worth it every day. I have the possibility to work from home 3 days a week so it helps a lot and I save about 2 hours a day in travel. But I still live so close to Stockholm that I can easily go there if I want or need. Perfect blend for me.. Just a bit more planning when you need to do the shopping. Is it just a small run you go to Rimbo (15-17 min) as it's the nearest place with stores but if you need to get some special things we have to travel a bit longer but 35 min to Uppsala and the same to Norrtälje. Just depends of your needs. / Love and take care up there in the (middle) of Sweden... /Micke

Just sending you guys encouragement ❤. I had my first baby this past April and was really apprehensive about having my baby in the hospital, but I did and it was still an incredible experience. If you end up doing that it can still be great. ❤ Things that helped me were dimming the lights in the room, bringing some battery operated candles to set the mood and playing relaxing nature sounds/spa music. Sometimes you can even bring a diffuser with essential oils like lavender for a familiar calming smell! Just check with your hospital and I wish you guys an amazing birth experience ❤

Oh love I kept watching and flinching everytime Kalle looked in Christine's direction. 😂😂😂 Christine my love it's a leap year and tradition says the lady can propose if I got that right. Sending you Warm wishes and love from London. 💚💚💚🌳🌳🌳🌳

My wife and I lived in a one-room, slightly renovated building. No running water, no toilet, no bathroom. We moved there when my wife was pregnant with our second son. We lived there for two years. We slept in a large bowl, I carried water from the city, and I cleaned the compost toilet every two days :). It worked ;) It wasn't easy, but now we have water, a kitchen, decent heating, and sewage. Nothing more is needed
