Introducing Baby CeCe

So the reason for my long absence on the blogging front...........

Our little Celeste Berry Coote (we're calling her CeCe for short) was born on 10th August 2013 at around 4 in the morning. She entered the world in quite a dramatic fashion and has been a very calm little thing ever since! The name 'Celeste' means divine or heavenly and isn't she just?! She's perfect in every way and I can't tell you how amazing she is.

Here she is meeting her big sister Delilah for the very first time.

And then we were four! I feel so very lucky to have two lovely daughters, and I feel so happy for both of my girls that they get to have a sister, I really hope they are as close as my sister and I are. 

I loved making my labour playlist for both girls and I have loads of songs which will forever be linked with them. Jamie Cullum's version of 'Pure Imagination' was a song that seemed to stand out to me whilst in labour with CeCe, here it is.

Thank you to everyone who sent messages and cards, it means so much xxx

Changes

So, I'm now on maternity leave and due to have our second baby tomorrow (hopefully!) so things will probably go a bit quiet on here for a while. Here's a little peek at Delilah and I testing out the birthing pool! Anyway, thought I take the opportunity to tell you about the 2 other blogs I do with other people, so they'll still be going if you wanted to have a gander.....

Flowers in the Window is a blog I run with my sister Alie to document all our floral finds - we've always loved all things flowery so this is just a place where we can share the these things which make us smile. Flowersinthewindow.co.uk

The 4am Club, I'm sure the title of this blog will become all too relevent to me in the next few weeks! This is a blog I do with my friend Kelly (who's an amazing writer) to celebrate and share tips/advice for all things baby/toddlers/mama related. Kelly also has an amazing eye for styling also to look out for her fashion/party/hosting posts. The4amclub.com

I also wanted to share this lovely picture a customer sent me of the tile stickers she bought from me, she's an art teacher and they're stuck her classroom which I was beyond happy about!

Also, apparently very soon google reader will be gone, so if you like following my blog please use another form of contact (I've signed up to bloglovin' but will be trying a few different things out until I find what's best). Please let me know your links also, as I'm pretty scared that soon I'll loose my reading list.

I hope to come back with a fresh new design and layout for this blog which I've been meaning to do for at least a year, perhaps throwing another baby into the mix may make it a little optimistic that that'll happen anytime soon, but hopefully it will, as I love this little part of cyberspace :)

Anyway, take care and hope to be back soon!xx
