Look at this absolute dream come true.. 

One week with our beautiful baby girl. We are so in love. I’ll do a proper update when I get the time!

Two weeks with our tiny ray of sunshine! (Actually, it’s almost three! The time has flown by!)

Aiobhe Katherine is an absolute dream; she’s one of the calmest babies I’ve ever met, and loves to be held. Of course, she doesn’t do much but sleep, feed and poop, but she has us all wrapped around her tiny little finger. Including her brother, who is hesitant to ever leave her side. (I wish I could’ve gotten a picture, but I never seem to have a camera near!)

We registered her birth this week! Even though we had another four weeks to get it done, it just seemed like the right time to do it. 

I’ll hopefully get in the swing of things with these updates soon! I’ve forgotten how exhausting having a newborn is! But until then, have this picture of my lovely husband and I, enjoying some alone time in the garden while the babies napped.

Summer Days!

It’s been lovely and warm recently, so we’ve been spending a lot of time out in the garden – obviously, Aiobhe hasn’t, and the little time she has been, she’s been in her pram with a blanket blocking out the sun. Eoghan’s been loving it, though, forever running around in the grass with his daddy, and being the best big brother anyone could wish for. He’s totally in love with his little sister, and gets very nervous when she cries – which she does a lot! – but I’ve explained to him that she just doesn’t know how to talk yet, so she cries to help us understand what’s wrong. 

Speaking of our tiny bean! She’s 3 weeks old now! And she’s so talkative when she’s awake, always cooing and grunting at her Mama. We’ve started to try and settle into a routine, we keep the lights dimmed in the evening to try and help her learn the difference between day and night, and we try to keep eye contact to a minimum during her night feeds. Luckily, she doesn’t seem to have developed colic, so I’m keeping my fingers – and toes! – crossed that that stays the same.

We’re still in that floaty, new baby stage as of right now, so I apologise for all the late posts. I’m hoping they’ll become more constant, but who knows! 

I’ll talk to you all soon!

This is, of course, a little late; but on August 12th, my lovely husband Lochlan and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary, and I thought why not share some wedding pictures to go along with a little sappy post. 

Loch, I can’t thank you enough for life you’ve given me. From our two amazing kids, to our beautiful house, you’ve truly made me the happiest woman alive. I love you so much, words will never be able to express just how much, but I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to prove it. 

And I know I owe you guys an update on our tiny bean, so I’ll tag a quick one onto this post! 

Aiobhe is SEVEN weeks now! I can’t believe it! She’s growing so fast, and she’s so beautiful. She loves kicking her chubby little legs when she’s laid on her back, and also love grabbing at Daddy’s glasses when he wears them – and Mama’s hair too! 

I’ll hopefully be able to regularly update you guys from now on, but who knows! 

Updates, Updates & More Updates!

Long time, no see! Life has been crazy recently, but so, so good. I have a lot to update you on, so let’s get started! 

Aiobhe Katherine is now 4 months old! Time sure is flying by. She loves to ‘speak’ back to us, which Eoghan finds endlessly entertaining, and you can often find him sat next to his baby sister, babbling away. She’s been working on rolling over, but hasn’t been able to manage it just yet. And she’s also teething! Our little drooly bug! x

Eoghan Malachi, as you can see, now has some spiffy looking specs! We noticed he was squinting a lot, and took his eyes to be examined; his sight isn’t bad, but the glasses definitely helped.

I turned 27 on the 5th of November, and I had the most perfect little ‘party’ with my tiny family – we watched movies, ate cake, and had a ton of fun. We also started decorating for Christmas, which might seem a little soon, but we really love the holiday – Eoghan especially. In fact, he loves it so much, that we helped him wrap up some boxes to put under the tree until ‘Santa’ delivers the real presents!

Whoo, this update is getting long, but I just have one more thing to tell you! 

My tiny is 6 months old! Where did the time go? 

Full update coming soon-ish.

It’s a boy! (ft a happy girl.)

Surprise! 

Cabhan Tomas O’Doyle was born yesterday at 11:32 am via emergency c-section. I have a lot to update you on – clearly – but for now, I’m healing, and snuggling this tiny thing. Or not so tiny! 9lbs 3oz! I’m almost glad he came out of the sunroof!
