Joyeux Noël and/or happy holidays vibes

Wishing all those who celebrate Merry Christmas and to those who celebrate in other ways wishing you time with your loved ones.

My eldest born xmas morning turns 7 today. Our 8th xmas with her.

I laboured from 11pm on the 24th. She was born the morning of the 25th at home with our incredible midwife. We told our parents we had a bad sleep and if they would be ok if we delayed brunch by a few hours.

This gave my husband time to dismantle the birth pool and the mifwives to do all the post baby and mom checks. Our parents walked into our living with me holding my baby girl on the couch in absolute shock (since we had had xmas eve dinner together).

We filmed the entrances (they staggered in) and their discovery will be forever be our most memorable xmas. We had brunch (our sweet parents made it all, I was so hungry) then we parted ways so that me,my hubby and our new Babe could nap.

So grateful for everything beyond our control that went right to make that absolutely unplannable moment happen 💜
