Your mother’s intuition and protectiveness of your baby is strong already. Good for you for making the decision to live in the house for now where you and baby will be most comfortable. You are wise to follow your instincts and pay attention to your needs for wellbeing. Wishing you well, Christine. ❤

You’re such an inspiration! I did the traditional path - I have a high paying career as an attorney, a place to live, cars, great education for my son, etc. From the outside it looks like I have everything. Inside I’m screaming. I’ve realized the life I’ve lived is incredibly harmful to my family and my emotional and physical well-being. I’m going to make changes like you have. I have no plan in place. Im just going to feel and learn as I go. I cannot ignore the call to tear everything down and start over anymore. It’s so scary! But I know we both will find our way. :) Much love!

….. the door opening is because of the fire pulling in air from every tiny place it can. It’s surprisingly strong. It will also make the materials in the house swell and shrink a it warms and cools making it creak and crackle throughout the day.

As the beauty of winter’s light surrounds you, I feel for you as I watch this. Your gift of fortitude and resolve is remarkable. As difficult as you find yourself in the Nordic cold especially in your first to second trimester, your strength will get you and baby through this and the coming winter weeks! The hot summer months would not be more comforting! You have a beautiful environment (the forests!) surrounding you and I see such a healthy future for you and your baby -- to be nurtured in such a place is so gratifying for a mother to be! May you be Blessed with continued health! 💜🤗💖👶❤

Genuine advise: use warm, wooly gloves when outside. Also to keep yourself warm you can use hot water bottle during the day and at night in the bed. You can either make one yourself or buy one in a store. That will keep you warm and will see you through the winter months. Take care of yourself and the baby. All the best to you.

You are living an authentic life, being true to yourself. That is something to be extremely proud of! I honestly think it’s the kind of life that we were all meant to live as human beings, connected to every possible aspect of life and the natural world. Your videos are stunningly gorgeous. Two words for 2024: awaken & vitalize!

Come on Kalle- go and help keep your lady warm. (:

It is so enduring to watch how painstakingly your baby’s papa is trying to make your family home ready for you and your new baby. He is a real treasure and will be an incredible papa very soon. I wish all three of you a very happy home all under one roof.

We don’t stop because we’re tired. We keep going because we’re almost there 😊

Hi Christine: I can empathize with your love-hate relationship with the bitter cold where you live, especially while pregnant and just trying to stay warm in minus-degree weather. The energy your body requires just to keep warm while simultaneously growing a child inside of you certainly isn't easy. Yet as cold and challenging as it can be sometimes to live in the arctic north, you still can wake up the next day and experience a feeling of awe and delight to live where you do. That's wonderful how you are "re-wilding" yourself, while embracing a simpler, more basic lifestyle. Give yourself a pat on your back for your courage to take such a big step to move to northern Sweden to live with Kalle, and how much you have grown too. As Henry D. Thoreau once said, "All good things are wild and free." Take good care, Jenny 🐧❄☃🐺🐾🌲

It was a beautiful moment by the forest entrance when Tuss came out to greet you and Nala, that was so nice!

I think you are amazingly strong. The things you’ve been through and carrying wood whilst pregnant and the cold you are coping with. Please take care of yourself, ask for help and relax when you can . Lots of love from the UK X

Christine, I feel we are on the same "wavelength," as far as what nourishes our souls and brings us joy. I'm old enough to be your mother, but I still feel young inside! Nature, the stillness of winter, the sound of birds, wind in the trees, replenish me. Heavenly. I love, love animals too! I live in Central Minnesota, in the U.S. I lived on the shores of Lake Superior for 30 years. My heritage is mostly Norwegian. You would have loved it up the north shore, trekking the forests, and watching huge waves break on the shore, especially in winter. You are very brave, following your own path. You are an inspiration to others, young and old alike. 2024 for me means: reconnect with friends and strengthen my body. You see, I just retired at 62 1/2! 😊❤

Authentic is my word for the year. As for being behind in life… I would say you are miles ahead and everyone else is behind! Why else would you inspire so many people? We get so excited when a new video comes out 😂You guys are awesome 😊

I live alone with my cat in a 300 year old house where my ancestors lived and this house for sure is alive. It used to scare me as a kid but I never felt more at home in any place and I see it as a beautiful thing to live in a house that has a soul rather than living in a dead concrete structure 😊 Much love and strength to you Christine💕

Can you guys also get a few thick wool rugs throughout the cabin? They would be a lot warmer than the cold wooden floors.

Take care Christine! My 2 words for 2024 are: "letting go" and "balance"

I just watched your and Kalle's new video answering questions about the baby and other things. Thank you for sharing your unique life with us. I love to learn about people in other places and how they live. Greetings from Montana, USA.

My words for 2024 are “revive” and “vitalize” with the idea to put some energy into interests that have languished for various reasons. Enjoy this wonderful period in your life!

I’m also living in an old house in the woods and my house is haunted and we’ve had visual and auditory happenings, lots of cleaning up and changing things around stirs it up and it was a multi generational home since it was established over 100 years ago and we are new owners. So far it’s not scary and I really love the property and I think they understand that

Hello Christine, I am feeling touched by you saying you feel proud of yourself despite also feeling doubt and behind sometimes. I just wanted to say that I also think you can feel proud of yourself. You have created such a beautiful life for yourself. Of course there is struggle but you are living a life so true to yourself and that is really admirable I think. So yes, you can and should be proud of yourself

Beautiful video as always Christine ♥️ My two words of 2024 are “Blissipline” (as in being disciplined to experience bliss 🥰) and “Connection” Also yes please to the all things holistic pregnancy video!! ♥️

Beautiful video. Maybe a past mother figure is there to keep watch on you and make sure you are safe. The house must be loving after all those generations. Blessings❤

The part of rewilding, connecting to the wild, is priceless. I miss that in my life. Also, so many great things to be grateful for whilst in the city.

I've had experiences at home too, also relatively small things like doors opening and unexplainable noises. A few friends have caught weird things in photos at my house too. It's freaked me out at times I wasn't expecting when im home alone, but like you I don't feel scared of it, it isn't an evil vibe. It's just something that's there when you're living in a house that's over 100 years old.

I follow a few of you guys on youtube in the Nordic areas, but I have to say that you, Christine, and Jonna have such a peaceful aesthetic to your videos and it is so calming. Thank you and best wishes as you guys get ready for the baby!

I'm so very happy you are going to your parent's house for awhile. I know you will be working & stuff but be sure to REST yourself. I was thinking about when this baby is born, he'll be zble to go back and watch you guys videos & get a wonderful glimpse into the time before he was born. Truly magical. 💖🌟

This week I can relate to the cold you are describing as here in eastern Washington the temperatures are hovering around zero! When the wind blows it cuts through the air! My heart did rejoiced as you showed the oven you bake bread in as my Swedish Grandfather had a bakery in western Washington which the country side looks much like where you are living! He baked wonderful pastries and bread in those ovens! Thank you so much for sharing!

Most of society has lost connection with its roots, wich is nature. But nature keeps calling. I feel the pull and longing for a simple basic life. 😘

Your videos are so healing 💫🙏🏼💫

You're so strong lady! But don't be afraid to ask Kalle to stay with you as you get closer to the birth. The comfort of the company is important too! My husband was away for a week for work third trimester and it was tough. The last couple months I wouldn't have wanted him to be away.

❤ Good thoughts and so nice to see you smiling confidently while pouring out your heart!

Much love xxx

lovely winter wonderland 😍

sending you warmth and sun-shine from Australia ! ty for sharing 👌🙏

You are so Beautiful Christine and so brave in all that you have accomplished! Be kind to yourself. I understand how you want to do more and more. I believe everything works out the way it should and in the time that it should. January is also my birth month. I'm always so happy when I can connect with someone who also shares that. I wish you all the Love and Happiness for you and your new family. Much love ❤️🌷❄️

Keep going Girl! You are creating a human being! 💪❤

That really was a wonderful, magical video. Thank you so much.❤

Taking time for Better health and self care. Working full time and caring for my 95 year old Far some times feel overwhelming I love and cherish the time with him 💕

Such a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

So nice that youre showing us your winter wonderland

Such a sweet and genuine video. Thank you for your honesty in answering questions too. Stay strong out there in the extreme cold, and keep warm. Love your channel❤❤❤

This was a beautiful video. The winter looks so magical, the trees are my favourite. 🌲🧡 I am very excited about the video about the house. Can't wait for all the weird atuff happening there. 😁 Sending love to you, dogs, Kalle and your little baby boy. 🧡

The cold has been really hard in Luleå too. Sending love 💛

Trust and (inner) Power!

I have a sincere feeling of protectiveness towards you, as an image of me... in our society where definitely the lifestyle in urban areas has been ruined by the lack of nature, end of local mom and pops shops, natural beauty... I understand well your desire to be free from the headache of urban areas and move to the nature of the north of Sweden. There is just one thing that I believe could solidify this lifestyle and challenge of loneliness, your man Kalle needs to step up and understand mental/emotional/physical security that comes with a MARRIAGE for life. I hope he reads this and can find the awareness and mature strength inside of him to be a rock for you, your child and himself now and forever. You have surrendered and are literally giving him the difficult and ever-consuming gift of Life, with you guys' son. Your commitment to this new soul is everlasting, so should be his gratitude and devotion to your wellbeing. I see it in you guys, I believe in you two ♥ Ofc our society tries to anull the need for security and commitment that people have, with 1000 reasons, all coming down to one thing, individual whim. As a fellow woman in her late 20s, I can tell you Kalle that your woman would rather live on an eternal castle of family love, than a temporary caravan of boyfriend affection. The same is true about your babies needs and wants. No child wants to have their parents broken up.

Thank you for sharing have a wonderful week the word is determination

My word for 2024 is Balance 💚 I'm working on my digestive system in particular...but through that, my intent is to find balance in body, mind, and spirit!

This is so good to watch. It's refreshing to have an honest look at the cold. I'm trying to learn as much as possible about it before I enter and for me to see your videos it helps so much thank you

I stumbled upon your account a few weeks ago and just love your energy, your creativity and your courage to follow your heart! Thank you for sharing ❤

Get yourself a genuine Queen size sheepskin blanket. Also a few 100% merino wool blankets. 100% merino wool sweaters, socks and hats. A few electric heaters would also help. That can be used while you are awake. Do they add solar panels to homes in Sweden?

Self doubt is so natural and partly how we keep moving and expanding ourselves. So long as we realise our worth and feel the joy of living. You are going to be a wonderful mumma, what an inspiration you are Christine. ❤ Pregnancy is a difficult time due to all the self reflection that goes on and preparing for motherhood. Our hormones go crazy and yes you are right as everything goes through to them. He can feel your love. Nature definitely holds lol we need. Sending a hug 🤗

Hi, I totally understand where you are unfortunately those thoughts will always will be there. Stay on your path, live your own life. God made you in a unique way. Hopefully you can find a community that will support you unconditionally! Flourish where you are without guilt. Keep creating content. Everything will work itself out. Blessings to you and yours!❤😊

Wishing you and baby continued health. Your doing so well. 😊🇨🇦❤️

Dear Christine, as always i'm very inspired by your words and your video in general. My words for 2024 are playfulness, creativity and truly living. I have severe illnesses and therefore being more playful, connecting to nature, being creative and trying to live more and do what i truly love and long for - i think that will bring me joy and happiness and also healing. Thank you for this beautiful video, it really touched me! I'm very grateful for the path you've chosen and that you are able to share all of this with us. Lots of love from austria! 💛

2024 words for me are... replenish & express! Thank you for another lovely video, Christine. I always look forward to watching your videos :)

2024:Listen to myself, get to know myself and be thankful for what I have. About winter: it is like the hard times we have in our lifes-after a while the sun comes again and it feels even better (after the long dark winter days)❤

Transformation is my word. I do hope for many transformations in deed internally and externally.

What a beautiful episode !Christine you’re so brave to share your deepest thoughts and feelings with Us !I will be praying 🙏 for you to have a wonderful experience delivering your new baby boy into this world 🙏♥️🕊️Your such a Beautiful Soul your going to be a loving 🥰 mother ♥️And I pray 🤲 all three of you will be living together as a Family unit ♥️

I love this perspective that you mentioned Christine...asking hmm I wonder what she or he means by saying that instead of judging or fallingbinto the trap of assumptions. It reveals an open mindset always ready to learn. So proud of all you have accomplished here. You asked about our word and it is joy. To learn to speak it, spread it through words and actions, to enflame it through music. I am committed to playing the guitar better. Thanks for asking us. Sharing it here makes it more real. Happy 2024 everyone!!!!🌿☕️❄️💃

You follow your intuition. That doesn't always mean the path will always be a smooth one, but it will be the right one for you and that's more important. I hope things are a bit warmer for you soon and things start getting a bit easier for you.

I think I'll borrow your word REWILD. It resonates a lot, so I will let that sink in.❤ Also it was so nice to hear your thoughts and experiences, thank you for sharing.🙏 I had the same experience with boundaries getting clear and strong during pregnancy. I wish all the best for you and the little one, and Kalle. You seem such a lovely family! Much love!

You are so spiritual Christine. The country side is breath taking

Dear Christine, I personally think you have a ghost living in your house. You might need to buy a sage stick and do a cleansing. It is probably a lovely spirit, that is not harmful or destructive, but needs to be showing the light so that they can be free. Kindest, Francesca ❤

"rewrite "my ending " embrace " aging Both of these will be a great challenge for me as i hold on to my youth with everything i have. I am now 72...i was just 32 yesterday. It's a short ride .😔

Hello Christine! Thank you for all your inspiration ... My word for 2024 is SELF-BELIEF because I so often feel I am making decisions based on what other people think or expect me to be doing. I am aware these expectations raise huge doubts in my mind about the true path that I wish to follow, which is somewhat different, and this in turn inhibits my ability to trust my instincts and make my own story.

You can be so proud of yourself and your big (healing) journey you already have made in your life dear Christine! I love to learn from you (and I am already 58 and a grandma since two month ago. I wish I had been as wise as you before I became a mother. (I think, we could not grow and learn so fast as you can today with all the possibilities the www offers). I wish you a very happy rest oft your pregnancy and a harmonical arrival for your little boy. My words for this year are confidence, stability and letting go ...

You are such a beautiful person, Christine! Lots of love ❤️

❤❤❤❤❤thanks for a very lovely video sweet Christine ❤❤ ❤❤

Hametz lev is my word. In Hebrew it means- heart courage. Walking through some hard things these past couple years and on a healing journey too, it’s a reminder to have faith and keep my heart open and willing to continue to choose a hopeful, healing, life giving path. I think at any given time it could mean a number of things, I’m sure I’ll figure out new meanings as the year goes on. And it’s not just encouragement through hard times, but courage to keep pursuing dreams and the many beautiful things in my life. Prayed for you this morning Christine! May there be beautiful encouragements and surprises waiting in the cold and alone times. There is beauty there to be had. Wishing you heart courage, comfort, warmth! and health. I love listening to you. Happy Birthday and Happy New year!

Traveling from Napa Valley, California to Key West, Florida tonight. Can’t wait to watch while it will help me as I try to stay calm on my journey! Love to you Christine! ❤

Relaxation and power are my Words for 2024

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. For me I’ve experienced a big change is stepping away from a heavy professional career. In 2024 I want to reconnect with myself if that makes any sense, to find a core happiness and contentment. I have live in the woods for 28 years but not given myself to totally appreciate it. So the 2 words are reconnect and be still

Hello 👋 Christine,thanks for the beautiful nature scenes,I enjoy you walking through the Forrest, just so breathtaking. I learned not to compare myself to other woman's life, we are all on our own life journey and path. My words for 2024 are "BIG CHANGES AND ADVENTURE AWAITING". After living for over 25 years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I'm moving to a warmer climate in Texas, near my youngest daughter. I'm excited but also grieving, having to say goodbye to many wonderful and good friends. I'm 64, so no young Spring chicken 😊, but I'm looking forward to new adventures. Christine wishing you and your baby the very best, most of all health. Sending many hugs your way. ❤❤❤❤

I loved this video ...all your videos actually. You asked about one word for 2024...for me it is the word "happy"! I want to be happy ! I had such a hard last year (for me). Sooooo lets be happy! Much love and happiness to all of you! TK :)

My word is consistent for 2024. Building from Grace from 2023. Really trying to move through this journey growing and hopefully being able to be of service to anyone in need. 💜💜💜

Thank you for a relaxing video... Stay strong!

Thank you, dear Christine, for your video. It is beautyfull to see you beeing in your pregnancy and living kind of a life you love. I am not in the same state of life, my three kids are grown up and start their own journeys. My two words, if i have to chose two, are peace and solitude in the meaning of learning to be alone and feel comfortable with it. All the best wishes for you, for your family and for the pregnancy and birth of your baby. Oh, i forgot to say, we share the same prename. And i told anybody the name of my babys before they were born too.

You are such a beautiful Soul 😍 and loved all around the world 🌎. And will be a wonderful Mother .

I'm SO very happy to hear your observations and history of 'The House'! Thank you for this post Christine. I began following Kalle in the early part of his blogging journey, however, over the past two years my own path shifted and I haven't kept up as I did owing to those things. Kalle offered wonderfully honest and detailed stories in combination with increasingly expert videos, which brought me into his (and now your) world in earlier days. In the interim, one thing I didn't have information about was the "house". He (and after his initial move - you as well) had been involved in the cabin and structures created there for the future. Your lives have grown and expanded so much since those beginning times. Love and encouragement to you both and all that is ahead. - Thanks for your insight and honesty from one new subscriber to your channel. You should and must be proud of yourself every day you breathe on this earth, Christine. Best wishes for 2024 and beyond -- Abby in Florida, USA

You are a very strong and wise women keep going what you are doing !! 2024 it s a very good year for big changes and discovering new paths for our lives! I'm waiting for my 3d girl to come in this world (so happy ) and i'm actually starting my dream" job" of candle business!

Lovely video Christine ❤ My word for 2024 is learnings. I want to put myself in the apprentice skin again and again. Rediscovering the world with new eyes, without that thinking of already knowing something but more like I don't know nothing at all. It's also because I continue my studies in herbalism. I let myself open to want life wants to teach me.

Dear Christine, Thank you for the video and for allowing us to be part of your journey. Take good care of yourself and the baby! I send you lots of light and good energies! When it's very cold, woolen hand warmers for the wrists, socks and a cap help me. We lose or retain heat through our heads and feet. Before you talked about the strange noises and sensations in the house, I could already feel it on the screen. It was so totaly strange to me. I am feeling things like that so much. There is something else. There are still some of the families' ancestors in the house. Maybe some parts of their souls. Cleansing the house with incense can help. Very interesting for me. I`d like to come in that house. There's a reason why you and your family live in this house now. But you are safe and protected! Greetings from Germany to all of you! Annette ❤ I heard your last question. Every year I get different since, like animals, feathers etc. This year I see and get hearts everywhere. That's my word for 2024 and of course LOVE! ❤❤❤

Please do a video about the strange things. And you’re lovely… I relate to you on so many ways. The love for nature, quiet, winter wonderland and all animals. ❤

The women circle is great, went to just ine live stream. Loved it. Chritine is the same, the women are so open hearted.

Thank you so much for sharing your words of 2024. One of my words is communicate and the second word is appreciate. Making sure to communicate more and deeper With my family. Also to pause and appreciate nature around me.

You are an amazing woman and will be an amazing mom❤❤❤

Being norse myself, I am really enjoying that vids....

I cant even tell you how nice it was to watch this because I can relate.

Blessings lovelies. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Allow and uplift are my words.

Hi. I Like to watch your videos. They beautiful and real. You do not hide it is difficult live Like that

I was a stay at home mom when so many of my acquaintances were working. We had to make material sacrifices but now with my four children all grown, I know it was the right choice. God has provided for us and He will for you. Your baby is more important than material things.

You should be tremendously proud, I think you & Kalle are building an amazing life.

Thank you for sharing . I love to see you ❤️ you are so beautiful and you will be a loving mother to your baby boy .

I love your words for the new year ❤My 2 words for 2024 will be Expand & Evolve 🥰

You're living the slow life, and so you're going to have different goals than when you lived the fast life in the city. Remember not to judge yourself by fast life standards; that is not the life you're living. I think you've done incredible things and I can see how happy it has made you. There will always be change and the adjustment to change, and it seems to me that you have the right approach. At 30 you are in your most powerful time as a woman! All these choices and decisions you are making are paving your way to happiness and a deep feeling of satisfaction when you are in your 50s. I'm a little bit in awe of you, frankly, because you *have* done all the hard work to heal and understand yourself, and to grow into such a wholly woman. You are whole.

You said you were moving back to the cabin once the baby is there, but things are not getting easier with a newborn, baby, toddler, little child. The cold, the outhouse, no running warm water... all fun as an adventurous, healthy, young grown up. But for a new mom, breastfeeding, recovering, sleep deprived, exhausted... so tough.

Have you ever thought of running a space heater in addition to the fires? Even electric blankets - they are life-changing!

You know that in old houses there is often a natural draught that can cause things to happen that might seem strange. Also they usually are a bit crooked, leaning slightly due to settings in the ground. That can make doors open for example if they are not fitted straightly. Wooden houses also have a lot of sounds going on in the wood, especially at temperature changes as the wood expands or shrinks.

My two words are HOPE & CREATIVITY…….I am a Wayfinder❤
