The first week of being a family of four… 🤍
What a whirlwind it’s been.
Meet Xavier. 💙
He’s been with us for just a few days, and somehow it already feels like he’s always been here.
The biggest surprise has been Aurelia. I knew she’d love him, but I never imagined quite how much. Every time he wakes up, she asks (or more accurately… demands 😂) to hold him. She wants to help with every nappy change, every feed, every cuddle, and proudly tells everyone, “That’s my baby.”
It’s honestly melted my heart.
In between all of that, life hasn’t exactly slowed down.
I’ve already found myself back at the Post Office posting Muddy Boots orders (thank you so much for continuing to support my little business while we’re in this newborn bubble ❤️), grabbed a stolen half-hour with a croissant and an iced coffee thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law, and somehow we’re also about to start renovating our house… with the builders arriving tomorrow!
So if you’ve ever wondered what chaos looks like… it’s a Moses basket with a mattress that doesn’t quite fit, pink floral bedding from Aurelia because that’s what we had, a baby boy happily wearing his big sister’s hand-me-downs, clothing rails taking over what was supposed to be our gym, and a toddler who falls asleep halfway through dinner because loving a baby brother is exhausting work.
It’s messy.
It’s busy.
It’s definitely not glamorous.
But I wouldn’t change a second of it.
Here’s to this new chapter… and surviving renovations with a newborn. Wish us luck. 🤍
