Birth Record Translation
I am looking for additional help translating the birth record for Brita Stina on October 2, 1848 (bottom entry on left page). There is more there than a traditional entry. I sincerely appreciate any help you can offer. Thank You!

This is what I can extract:
No. 44. [name:] Brita Stina, [born:] 2 Oct 1848, [baptized:] 4 Oct
Mother: Malin Anna Ersdotter in Östensjö(?) No. 10, 23 years
Father of the child: nailsmith Isaac Vestling, Ofors. Witnesses to the acknowledgement of paternity: P. Söderlund, A.S. Söderlund.
Sponsors: Jon. Stenberg Ofors(?) No.9 and wife Anna Vestling; Petter Dahlquist, smith, and maid Christin Matsdotter from Ofors manor
Remark: Anna Ersdotter was readmitted to the church (kyrktagen) on 26 November according to Vestlings confession(?)
Comment: For the rite of churching (kyrktagning) see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churching_of_women
I am not fully sure about the place names. It would help if you could name the parish from which this record comes.

Do you know what the references to the no. 9 and no. 10 mean?
I so appreciate the time you have taken to help me!

The numbers indicate probably the house number (address).
From the identification of the parish I now would interpret the place names as Östansjö and probably Dfors which is an abbreviation for Dalfors, see map below. Note that there is a manor (herrgård) at Dalfors: https://de.foursquare.com/v/dalfors-herrg%C3%A5rd/4d80ee37208a5481bceb7d67
