VISITING BEX AND BABY

 

Well no one gets a prize for guessing what we will be doing today.

Clearly, we will be taking the boys up to the hospital to visit their Mum, Dad and new sibling.

Sorry I can't share details yet, but it WILL happen soon.

When it comes to guessing baby's weight, I won.  

After we have visited the kids/baby, we will come home and get on with our normal day.

Which for me means sewing.  I'm thrilled to bits with how the Blue Kiwiana Braid Runner is coming along.

For Stew right now, it means watching Dante and Archer, and the telly.  😂😊

BACK LATER...

9.30 am:  We are off to visit the family at the hospital at 11 am.  I'm so excited.  Maybe after that I will have some photos and details to share.

This little baby is JUST GORGEOUS.  

The boys are in awe I think.

Dante was perfectly fine with it, but Archer was overwhelmed.

I'm sure he will get over that once they are all home as a family of 5.

Right.

The moment so many have been waiting for...

We are all proud and happy to introduce ...

LILY

CHRISTINA MAY

HARVEY

Born at 4.29 pm on the 13th of January 2024.

Birth weight 6 pound 12 ounces.

Her hair is RED.  It runs in both families, so we are not surprised in the least.

A precious baby girl to round off Steve and Bex's little family.

ABOVE:  It does not need saying... she is going to be spoilt rotten.  😊

ABOVE:  I do believe THIS man will be wrapped around her tiny fingers like... now!

All going well... Bex and Lily will be able to go home tomorrow.  

Steve is picking the boys up this afternoon and spending the night at home.  The boys will enjoy being home again.

ABOVE: Sorry S & B, I just had to add one more photo to this post. 

4.43 pm:  OMG it's been another hot, sticky day.

I did some sewing this afternoon, and then I ironed a few shirts for Stew.  He's back at work tomorrow, poor bugger.

The boys have finally gone home with Steve, so it's back to just the two of us.

ABOVE: When Steve arrives at our home, he always gets down on the floor to pet Coco and Marley.  

Today was no exception.

Except... Coco was immediately all over him.  SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF... what is that smell?

She could smell Lily.  She is going to LOVE Lily!

Marley on the other hand?  Nah.  She just wanted Steve to throw her toy.

She's never been around a new baby before, so it is going to be so interesting to see her reaction to Lily in a few days.
