My Nana’s funeral was on Friday and as emotionally charged as it would have been anyway, my lovely sister Stephanie – at 15 days overdue – went into labour before the funeral. She sat through the funeral having contractions, came back to the social function celebrating Nana’s life and eventually took herself off to hospital. Nana’s funeral was at 11am. Baby Blake was born at 10.07pm.

With his Mummy

With his Daddy

and with his favourite Auntie Vonnie

Blake’s arrival has been an intensely emotional experience and I didn’t even give birth to him! To have picked that day to be born, it feels almost divine. Almost as if someone had a hand in it?

Welcome to the world, baby Blake. You have no idea how much we needed to meet you.

I know I promised that my 100th post would be filled with a whole host of finished projects and a giveaway but something came up before I had a chance to post it. So, I’m thrilled to present for my 100th post our extra special “finished project” which was “completed” on Sunday night.

Bob and I together with Findlay, Nairn and Erica are thrilled to announce that our daughter Greer was delivered safely at 7.35pm on Sunday 17th May weighing a healthy 7lb 11oz. We’re all absolutely spectacularly well and delighted with the new little addition to our family.
