Our little man has arrived!

Leo Sydney Puech came into the world on the 10th Jan, weighing 3.5kg.
We're all doing well now after a few complications and are home and just soaking up the delights of this new little life.
So amazing...

waiting, waiting...

6 days past the due date now and nothing to report still. So I'm occupying myself by doing a bit of crafting. Including an iphone cover for a friend who has a habit of dropping hers, some little baby bloomers, and a couple of fitted baby sheets from a stash of vintage bed sheets collected by my sister.

We're ready for you, little one...

2011!

Well, it's 2011. The due date has come and gone and nothing to report as yet. We're just hanging around, getting stuff done, preparing our home and our heads and waiting. And reflecting on the year just gone and the year ahead.

What a fabulous year 2010 was. We got married, we went on a trip with hubby's French family, we moved into our very own home, and then we got pregnant!

And now we just wait for this new year to bring us our little baby and for our whole world to change! I can't wait to meet this little person and see who he/she is. Any day now...

resting...

A lovely, relaxed Christmas has been had. Even though it's sad not to be able to see hubby's family very often, at least it means there's no rushing around between various family shindigs on Christmas day. We just stay put and soak up the goodness. 

And now that all the making has been done (we do home made presents every year), the planning and cooking finished, the catching up with all and sundry over... NOW we can just rest and relax and count down the days till ARRIVAL. I'm due in 5 days. It's such a strange feeling - so hard to anticipate the changes that are about to hit. impossible actually. So we just enjoy these quiet days, make the most of big nights of sleep, nest and rest and look forward to meeting our little one...

This morning I baked the most ridiculous cinnamon buns (it's possible that I may have eaten three) and spent a lovely couple of hours reading my latest edition of Dumbo Feather and pottering. I could get used to this lady of leisure business.

happy birthday to me...

Despite waking up with a mother of a head cold, I had a lovely birthday yesterday. Aided immeasurably by hubby's crepes in bed in the morning. He's a keeper, that one. 

a little more makin'...

I made a little roll up changing pad from Lotta Jansdotter's book, 'Simple Sewing for Baby' this afternoon. Didn't take long and if I might say so myself, it's pretty darn cute...
