Watching my sister and her tiny daughter. Happy happy happy!​

I saw this posted by ecojot and it felt like it was just for us! ​Happy weekend all!

For the next few days I am going to be a little quiet on the internet. For a very sweet reason.​

We have a new pink one in the family. A PINK one!​ After 4 boys it was the most wonderful surprise to hear the words "It's a girl". 

She has stolen our hearts. ​

It was a magical moment seeing her come into this world. My sister was incredible. The textbook labour and water birth she had so desperately hoped for. Sharing that moment with her and her husband ​and all the moments that are following, are memories that I will treasure forever.

What a girl. Welcome home Yasmin lu. (Lu is a Philippine ​tradition after my sister's mother in law Marylu.)

Your Auntie Lu loves you beyond words! ​

I am hoping this week will end with a baby!​

Baby B, even though I haven't even met you yet, I love you very much, so please can you hurry up!​

My Mum found all our baby record books in her loft and it has been so lovely reminiscing over them. (Although note to self - second babies books aren't as full and third timers even less - I must complete Ollie's!)​

I adore that my first holiday was to Southbourne, just like my boys. We've all sat snuggled in a blanket at the beach hut. We have already got a visit booked in to go with Baby B in August, so history will be repeating itself again - how wonderful!​

I loved having a little blazer for school even though it was wool and smelt awful when it got wet in the rain. You can see the names of my childhood friends, one of them has started a lovely business making wall stickers for children, Stickerscape. Make sure you check it out! ​

My Mum kept my brother and sister's scan pictures - they didn't have one with me! Oh dear I feel old, I love this photo of us bringing Patrick home and my brother's little booties. How cute is he on his first day at school?!

But the best find was her baby book, which my Granny ​started filling out in 1955!

​I hope my children find my book one day and feel just like I did. 

I can't wait to see one with Baby B's name on it! Now is it going to be a pink or blue book? ​
