Hello from baby love bubble land!! Oooh my goodness, you guys! The past two weeks have been the most wonderful, magical, sleepy, messy, happy, dreamy….! These really are the best moments of life, aren’t they? I haven’t opened up my computer for the past couple weeks, but I just wanted to quickly check in and say hello and share a little update of life with our baby boy.
Little Wilkie is such a dreamy baby, so peaceful and calm, and the amount of love in our house is completely off the charts!! It has been such a joy to watch the four big kids fall in love with their baby brother. There has been a constant queue of eager baby holders, all of them so tender and sweet with him, and as he gets passed around from one child to the next I can’t help but think how lucky he is to be so loved by so many, and how lucky I am that I get to watch these five little humans navigate the world together.
Five! I still can’t quite believe it. ♥
My mum left earlier this week, and while it was sad to say goodbye to her, we are just thankful we get to keep my sister for a couple weeks longer. Having them both here for Wilkie’s birth made it all that much more special. I will never forget the moment he was born, holding our healthy baby, looking up and seeing the four kids and Michael, plus my mom and sister, all standing there in a circle around me. My heart nearly burst into a thousand pieces right there and then.
I promise to share the details of his birth soon. I’m still letting it all sink in…
Thank you for all your sweet comments and support.
Courtney xx

Also, your son Quin changing Wilkie’s nappy?! How great!! Well done big brother.
Congratulations, Courtney! When I had my first baby I thought nothing could be more magical, but then I gave her a sibling and I was proven wrong. My favorite part of this parenting journey has been watching my kids fall in love with each other. Your pictures have made me weepy in my anticipation of doing it all again this summer! I’m so glad to hear you are soaking up this special time!
The most precious of times. Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures.
So so beautiful. We really can feel love all over this new baby.
Your baby and family positively beautiful. Congratulations. Enjoy this wonderful time together ❤️ X
Congratulations, Courtney! He’s a blessing! He definitely has Ivy’s eyes and Michael’s forehead 🙂 I can also spot Quin and You 😉 Whom of your family do you think Wilkie looks like most? Do you think that all your babies looked kind of alike or completely different ?
I can see the love flowing in these pictures. Such a special time for you all, soak it all up and enjoy!

After all, that’s the most normal thing of the world, of course it’s special for every family, but happening thousands of times every day, and probably most babies are loved by their family. I have many friends and acquaintances and have never experienced anything else.
Thank u so mauch for sharing 🙂 beautifull pictures, you can see the love!
