newborn

it's hard to believe that Teddy is 2 months old now, he's grown quite a lot in the past two months. so funny looking at these photos of 

our first weeks at home and remembering just how small he was! he's now just over 4 kilos, woohoo. he'll have big bhubby cheeks and 

rolls for days before i know it. motherhood is good. it keeps me busy, hence no posts recently. we have good days and bad days. but 

whatever happens, or how hard a day seems, looking at Theodore's little face makes my heart melt. the poor kid is smothered 

constantly in kisses. ha!

i'm going to try and not let this blog be taken over by baby, but i don't think i'll be here much in the next little while and forgive me 

for the baby photos.

hope you're all well. i'm missing visiting all your blogs too.. i don't seem to spend much time on the computer these days, my hands 

seem like they are constantly full with other things or someone :)

looking forward...

 

in my last post i talked about being excited for summer in europe, however, i must say i'm rather looking forward to autumn showing 

up here in sydney. it's been rather hot recently - 30 degrees here today, a stark contrast to the snowy pictures i've seen from across 

europe. i'm looking forward to autumn sunshine and cool, crisp air, wearing silk shirts and cardigan layers. i'm also looking forward to 

dressing Theodore in some cute outfits. he's been given so many beautiful things, the boy has a bigger wardrobe than me! 

summer in europe - booked!

last week we booked tickets back to europe! we'll be travelling for a month from the end of july till the end of august. i'm already 

super excited! we're calling our trip: le tour de Teddy :) it's a chance for all our friends and family in london and france to meet our 

little guy and for us to show him off. we'll also spend some time holidaying in italy. it will be interesting travelling with a 5 month old.. 

but i guess at least he won't be too mobile  yet. if anyone has any tips on travelling with babes, let me know!

photos above from my archive: south of france a number of years ago in the winter time.

have a great weekend everyone.

introducing Theodore

so our little boy Theodore decided to arrive over 2 weeks early! Teddy arrived on Thursday 21st February at 1:53am. a little, beautiful 

boy weighing only 2.6kg and 47cm long. i had quite a complicated and slightly traumatic birth experience, but hey - we made it and 

look at the beautiful healthy package that arrived at the end. 

Teddy will be 4 weeks on Thursday! boy, that last  month has flown by. we're getting used to life as three and finding a routine. it's 

taken me a bit of time to recover, but i feel more like myself everyday. 

i probably won't be here too often in the next little while, this little guy seems to fill my days without even trying :) 

we're going to enjoy each others company and it's so fascinating seeing how much Theodore changes and develops day-to-day, week-

to week. in the next week or two he should start smiling. i can't wait for that.

i'm a bit more active on instagram, so join me there.. i apologise in advance for all the baby photos. i just can't help myself.

as of today i'm on maternity leave! baby boy's due date is the 8th march, so not long now.
unfortunately i'm sick with a awful head cold. so i'm feeling pretty yucky. 
i'm unsure how frequently i'll be posting here in the next little while...
i haven't been taking a lot of photos recently and things have been busy for his impending arrival.
but please come back every now and again to check in. i'll miss you all if you don't.
i'm still on instagram, so you can keep up to date through there, if you're interested.

redleaf

i think i've mentioned redleaf beach here before. we're lucky that it's just up the road, a 20min walk or a very short drive. we go there 
a lot to cool down. it's been a very hot summer in sydney this year. the other week we had the hottest day ever recorded - 45.8 
degrees in the CBD. it was stinking hot, like stepping into an oven. yuck. 

so far i'm surviving the heat quite well, even though i'm very pregnant. my biggest complaint is sore swollen fluidy feet and legs. not a 
pretty sight! i joined the trend and bought a pair of saltwater sandals. they have been perfect for my big feet.. some days they're the 
only shoes i fit into!

i'll stop complaining now, as it's all worth it. we can't wait to meet the little guy!
