Rough nights & rewards

Hi, Lykke is now 3 weeks and 5 days old and doing very well. She is gradually putting on weight and she is starting to emerge from her own little world and into ours. Helena has now been "Home Alone" for a week now and realising that this really is a full-time job!. We have now experienced the "Help....I have to eat constantly" and "I don´t know what it is either but I am going to scream for 3 hours non-stop"....fun ;-)

Bit of a rough night last night but it is all worth it when we get to wake up to this face in the morning!.

Hello Lykke...

Hi everyone, after a long process (8 months, 3 weeks) we have finally chosen a name for our little girl. It was actually our first name and has been on our shortlist all the way.
So meet our Daughter: Lykke Alexandra Cartmell!.
Lykke is a very Scandinavian name and it is feminine but strong. It is a little unusual as a first name and means "happiness" in Norwegian. The pronunciation is a bit tricky in English (the Y sound is pronounced differently in the Scandinavian languages) but here is the phonetic version: Lee-ka (the 'ee' is pronounced softly).

Her middle name comes from Lee's family and is inspired by Lee's Great Great Grandfather, Alexander Sandell (sounds very Swedish). Alexander was a sailor on the old Square Rigged sailing ships and sailed all over the world as a merchant seaman. 

Thanks for all your input but when we finally got to know her there was only one choice :-)

PS: We only know of one other Lykke (a Swedish singer), check out her video below.
