Oh you genious!

It's not even spring yet (so far from it!) and I'm already salivating over next autumn's runway shows. I mean how gorgeous is this!?

Baby bliss

So our newest family member did come on the full moon on February 9th. I'd been getting mild contractions since the evening before and they continued in the morning. At noon I called my husband to come home from school (oh yes, did I mention he started film school?) and he accompanied me to the appointment I already had with my midwife. She confirmed that the baby's head was finally engaged and that I was about 3-4 cm dialated. She told us to call the hospital when the contractions lasted 40-60 seconds and coming every 4-5 minutes. We went home and I sat on my fitness ball, rolling and bouncing, and concentrated on my ujjayi breathing. At about 4:30 in the afternoon we went to the hospital and to make a short story even shorter, our boy was born 2 hours later. He's an absolute beauty, a calm, content little creature. We're enjoying getting to know each other and settling into each other's routines.

When he sleeps, I'm busy catching up on design blogs, fashion and, with my unsatiable appetite, delicious recipies that I can't wait to share with you (I'm ready to get domestic!). First up, check out the total gorgeousness in the next post!

Finally here

Here he is, my little boy, sleeping next to his mummy on his first day in this world.

Come on full moon!

Well, I'm still waiting, now 8 days overdue. The moon is full tonight and apparently the maternity wards get filled up when that happens, apparently some units even have more staff available during the full moon periods. I'm counting on nature to pull it's weight here, oh and the fact that I'm going for a cervical sweep later today. Crossing my fingers (and not my legs)!
