Our baby girl was born last Friday afternoon. She is healthy, and sweet, and has completely captured our hearts. I wish a photo could possibly capture how perfect and kissable she is.
She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. We had a natural midwife-assisted delivery in hospital and got to come home later that day.
The dishes aren't done, the laundry can wait, and I'm a week behind on emails. But these days are so fleeting and precious, so we are taking the time to savour them.

Our sixth child-also a girl just turned 5 weeks. Precious and sometimes chaotic times ahead. Blessings on you all as you welcome and adjust to what I call "the new normal".
ReplyDeleteYay! Congratulations! There is nothing like the sweetness of a new born babe! I am so happy for you. We will all very patiently wait while you savour thise sweet time. Dont feel like you have to rush back.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Glad you had a good midwifery led birth exprience and everything went ok no big bleeding to scare the midwifes with that multigravid uterus!
ReplyDeleteA christmas baby is lovely
Any more or undecided?!
Congratulations! She's adorable! <3
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh you've shared another post I am soooo excited! MAHOOOOSIVE Congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous daughter! And thank you sooooo much for letting us know she arrived safely - I was checking every day! :)
ReplyDeleteI am also so pleased you got a natural midwife birth! My only (current) daughter was born at 32+4 weeks at home, completely unassisted (longggg story) so whilst I want the next child to be born in hospital, it has bought home to me that actually we don't need all the new fangled technology stuff, she is now a normal, happy 17 month old!
Whilst I do look forward to your next post, I completely agree that you must must must enjoy these moments so forget about emails, blog posts, etc and enjoy it! I now look at newborns (and particularly premature babies) and wonder where the time has gone with Freya (my daughter). XX (From myself and my daughter)
She's absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all.

Lovely! Welcome to the world little Ruby! Love her name. Agree with you on the fleeting moments. I just had my 4th little blessing 3 weeks ago myself, hence the comment at 2:35 in the morning. Blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! She's absolutely beautiful! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteOur babies were born the same day! My third. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Ruby is a delightful addition to your family. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baby! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She's just beautiful and so is the rest of your lovely family! Your children look smitten with her!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your little girl. I love her precious cheeks. My baby girl was due around the same time as yours. She came three weeks early, however, and went to Jesus four hours after she was born due to some fatal birth defects.
ReplyDeleteSaying a prayer for you right now as you adjust to your new family member. <3
Congratulations! I'm so glad things went smoothly and enjoy your precious babies. I loved watching my bigger kids welcome the new baby home almost as much as I cherished having the new one in my arms. Take your time coming back to ordinary life.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your family! She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Enjoy :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! thank you for letting us see her. like you said ...all else can wait. children are first and such beautiful blessings.
