Our latest arrival - Finn is here!

Okay, so I know I haven't blogged in about 7 weeks, but life has been a bit hectic here. Our darling baby Finn arrived 2 days late on Easter Monday. I had a wonderful homebirth with all the kids here along with my Mum and Dad and the beautiful midwives Jo and Katie, as well as my darling student, Maria. It was everything I wanted and more and even though 2nd stage took a bit longer than I would have liked as my waters wouldn't break, Finn arrived in just under 4 hours, surrounded by my gorgeous family and is just utterly divine.

Needless to say, I haven't been doing much for the past six weeks but just keeping things going, but am trying to get some craft projects underway.

For now though, there is alot of baby gazing and alot of covering my eyes from the mess that is my house!

We love you baby Finn, happy 6 weeks!

The ever growing belly of #5!

Can't believe how big I am getting now. In the 3rd trimester (this photo is me at 28wks & 3 days) and apart from the yucky heat we had over the weekend and a few aches I am feeling not too bad. Baby is very, very active over the last few days which is nice, love feeling him move around. Feeling very big though and cannot imagine how huge I am going to be by the end of this pregnancy! Started having a bit of a panic about birthing this baby and although I am so excited about having a homebirth, there are moments that I question myself on wether I can actually do it! I 'know' that I can as I have done it before, just that whole reality that this baby has to come out at some point is starting to freak me out a bit! Hoping that being able to birth at home will make it much more relaxed and hope it happens overnight so that the kids stay asleep and I don't have to worry about them! Will wait and see I guess, baby will come when he is good and ready.
