It seems appropriate to start with her name since we get more questions about it than we expected. Freya (pronounced FRAY-ah) is a common english spelling of a Freyja from Old Norse Mythology. Freyja means "lady" and she is the goddess of of love, beauty, war and death in mythology. Mostly we just like the name but also wanted to continue the theme of nordic names that we started when we chose Astrid. You can read more about the history of Freya in Norse mythology at the following sites:

Freya made a delayed arrival on February 3, 2014 at 1:59pm at 41 weeks. She needed some encouragement to come into the world but once she got it, she came in a quick 45 minute labor. Freya was 8lbs 4oz at birth and 20 inches. She is a delightful baby; she smiled amost immediately and is very calm and pensive. She's been holding her head up since she was just a few weeks old and is very physically strong - this is an important quality with a twy-year-old to contend with. Astrid took to her little sister immediately and has been very "helpful" in taking care of her.
