Welcome Isabelle Anne

January 5, 2016 by lydiaritchie 6 Comments

welcome-isabelle-anneHello and Happy New Year Friends!

Just a quick post to update you on some very exciting news for the Always Made With Love household… We are thrilled to share with you the arrival of Isabelle Anne (Lil Gooseberry) into our family and hearts. She arrived Sunday 27th December at 2.37am, weighing 3740grams and was 50.4cm long.

After a brief stay in hospital, Mum and Bub are both home and we are settling into life as family of four. We are all in love with our little girl including Sebastian who has affectionately nick-named her ‘Belle’. My heart is so full; and it is incredible to see how much love my little man has for his baby sister and how well he is coping with adjusting to being a ‘big brother’.

Over the next few weeks, while I’ll be busy enjoying all those new born baby snuggles, I have some fabulous friends and guest blogger lined up for you 🙂 When things settle down and I find my groove as a Mum of two, I’ll give an update on how we are all doing and share a bit more about this little lady.

    Congratulations! What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl (my youngest’s middle name is Anne too!). Enjoy these first few weeks together, they are so precious!

      Thanks Kylie.
      Anne is after both her grandmothers who have the same middle name spelt the same way 🙂 So pretty though. xx
