Introducing Our Little Guy

Posted on February 20, 2019

Excuse the break from blogging, but this time I really do have a proper excuse!

Our son arrived on the 10th of February, not that long after his due date at all. He came after a very long labour, landing in our arms at 10:59pm to our immense relief and joy. I’ll be sharing his name soon, but for now I just wanted to let anyone interested in knowing that he’s here, and he’s healthy and we are entirely besotted with our new arrival.

Parenthood so far has been like nothing I could ever have imagined or prepared myself for. It is magical and momentous and perfect, hand in hand with being painful and hard and some days feeling so big you can barely wrap your head around it. We are just over a week in and already it has taken us to pieces and built us up so much better. It really is a milestone moment in life.

She used to be a tropical person, but now lives in Melbourne, Victoria with her wonderful fiancé, and a super chunky baby who arrived in February 2019. She drinks too much coffee and spends most of her time wishing it was some other kind of weather.
