6am Kelsey woke me up telling me she had been losing her water, I 
immediately jumped out of bed and said alright let’s go, she stayed calm
 and replied with a laugh and said, no we are not going yet. I then 
asked to call our midwives to which she replied again no let’s just wait
 for awhile.
.
7:15am we call our friend to come photograph the labour, the midwife 
and doula. Once the midwife arrived she checked out the progress and we 
were surprised to learn Kelsey was already 5cm dilated. The midwife 
asked if she was ready to go to the birthing centre or wanted to try out
 that bath at home and Kelsey, still remaining calm, decided to try the 
bath at home. While I was filling up the bath things started escalating 
quickly, the contractions were much stronger lasting over a minute and 
were anywhere from 2-3 min apart. The midwife then said she thought we 
should head to the clinic and finally Kelsey agreed it was time.
.
8:40am. We arrived at the Bjo?rkin, the birthing centre, after a 
quick 10 min drive. Right away Kelsey knew exactly what she wanted and 
asked how long until the birthing pool would be filled. The next fifteen
 minutes Kelsey paced around between contractions waiting for the tub to
 be filled.
.
9:00am She was in the tub and immediately started to push. Things 
escalated super quickly. Throughout it all she did amazing. She was in 
complete control of her mind and body. She had strong opinions on 
exactly what she wanted and where she wanted to be. I am completely in 
awe of how strong she is, and so proud of her for everything she did to 
prepare herself throughout her pregnancy. It cannot be put into words 
how proud I am and how I feel about this experience.
.
11:19am After an extremely hard 2 hours and 19 mins of pushing our 
healthy, strong, beautiful boy arrived weighing 3530 grams, 52 cm long.
.
To finish the most beautiful, awe inspiring labour was the most 
wonderful phone call to my daughter to introduce her to her new little 
brother 
.
5:30pm We arrive back at home both mom and baby doing super well and spent our first night as three together.
.
We have decided on a name and cannot wait to share it with you all soon.
Björnsson is also dad to daughter Theresa LÃf, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Thelma Björk Steimann.
