When Erik was born, we received as a gift from a good friend of mine, a personalized Book of Wishes.

You have been given a list from the hospital with all the things that they you need to take with you. But, there are a few more that can make your stay in the hospital even better. Extra pillows – you will be given one, if you’re lucky two. Most probably this won’t be enough […]
