"I've experienced a lot of amazing things in my life, but seriously nothing can prepare you for the birth of your child! It is the most incredible thing that can happen to you! And I'm stunned at how strong women are, to be able to give birth! And yes, to answer the question I've been asked, I did cry out sheer happiness the first time I saw my daughter!"

In related news: Sonic Syndicate bassist Karin Axelsson is also pregnant with her first child. According to Karin, the baby is due the first week of October.

After an almost year-long hiatus, Sonic Syndicate co-headlined the Vekeri Fesztival in Hungary in late June, but guitarist Roger Sjunnesson left the group last month and considering the fact that John and Karin have some other priorities in life to tend to, there will probably be no further activities this year.
