striped sheep?

Friday, May 16th, 2008

How’s the cuteness factor? My little man asked if his jumper was made by stripy sheep!

alas the jumper is in fact made of cotton!
Update on Imogen: she is recovering well after surgery on Tuesday (she’s such a little trooper!). She and her family are constantly in our thoughts, they are awaiting the results of some tests which be fairly important in regards to Immy’s future health and family. Please cuddle your little ones closer, and keep Imogen in your thoughts xxx

My friend’s beautiful 4 month old baby is in the WCH hospital at the moment with doctors investigating a tumour that has been found in her eye.  My thoughts, love and strength with Imogen and her family during this difficult time. Please keep her in your thoughts as she is in mine, stay strong darling girl xxxooo

Sicky

We’ve had a sick boy in the household the last few days (and don’t we know it!) He’s all chesty and his barky cough is awful, hopefully he’s on the mend soon…. I’m also hoping that the rest of us manage to avoid it, I’ve got a busy month coming up and I really don’t want to be sick!

I must admit that the benefit of him not being 100% well is that he was a bit more compliant in standing in front of the camera, and i managed to get a couple of him actually standing still (I know, shock horror!)

pretty in pink

I am in love!

A friend lovingly handmade me a pink pettiskirt, and it’s stunning! There is so much work involved in making a pettiskirt like this, there is actually sooo much fabric in it, with a lot of intricate sewing! I can’t wait to take more photographs, and I already have had a few requests from mums who want their little girls to be photographed wearing it :)
Thanks Tammy!

Well he’s here! Baby S was welcomed to the world on Anzac Day Eve *welcome to the world!!*

Mum did an amazing job in her 33 hour labour (you can read snippets of it on this article about long labours on her midwife’s blog), and I’ve heard that Dad & big brother are both pretty thrilled with him too. I really want to congratulate her for the commitment and determination she showed towards creating the empowering home birth that she wanted - M you are an inspiration!

Here he is on the inside (last month!), Mum was looking radiant!

Her belly button was so cute, it actually looked like a little fetus all curled up and poking out :p Thanks M for letting me take them, I can’t wait to meet your little man!
