Introducing...


Ché Phoenix!

Our beautiful son was born weighing 9lb 13oz on Friday morning at 10.37 :) 
Words cannot begin to explain our joy and overwhelming love for him. 
He is just perfect in every way and I can't keep my eyes off him. 
He's taken to the 'outside world' amazingly, he feeds and sleeps and just looks 
around taking everything in, he is such a content yet alert baby. 
He has such a cool personality already and his facial expressions crack me up! 
The first 3 days of being a mummy has been even more incredible than I ever imagined,
happiness overload in this house :)

    Astra and Al, what an incredible blessing your new son is! Soak up every facial expression, sound and smell! You are now the phenomenal parents of what just might be the coolest kid ever! Enjoy, rest, take lots of pictures, be good to each other :-)

    Wow -- good job, both of you! He is a precious little perfect specimen of a baby. And I'm not a baby person. That is one healthy and happy looking little boy. Congratulations.

    What a gorgeous little fella.
    I have been checking your blog to see if he had made an appearance yet.
    He is absolutely scrummy.
    I'm going to be a Gran for the first time in 3 weeks and I can't wait.
    Congratulations to you all.

      No sign of the little one yet.
      Should have been here yesterday.
      Saw his/her Mummy to be today and she looks ready to pop.
      Wonder if we might get a new addition for Mother's Day.
      Sending you lots of love on Mothering Sunday. xx
