The Best Thing I Ever Baked
introducing our newest family member
Friends, hi, hello! I hope this post finds you well! I’m stopping by for the briefest of moments to share the best news ever: we had our baby! On Sunday, October 5th, our gorgeous baby girl, Lois Emilia, came storming into this world and gave us all a near heart attack during her delivery. It was hairy and fast and chaotic — but we had the best team looking after us and we’ve never been more grateful for anything ever.
The 2-week old love of our lives is currently napping contentedly in her Moses basket, we’re in between feedings, and, slowly but surely, the three of us are starting to find our feet in this completely new-to-us world. Milestones from the her first two weeks earth-side include: meeting most of our closest family and loved ones, gaining back all of her birth weight and then some, and getting out for our first walk as a family of three. Milestones from our first two weeks as parents include: watching videos online of how best to avoid a poo-splosion, doing more laundry than we have in the last few months combined, and deliriously laughing our way through the sleep deprivation.
That’s all I have time for now, but I just couldn’t wait to share the exciting news! Talk soon!
All my love,
Vicki xo
LOIS / LO•iss / (name): of Greek origin, meaning “most desirable” or “superior”. We also just happen to completely adore the name — and the fact that it hasn’t made it onto the most popular names lists in the last couple years doesn’t hurt either!
EMILIA / EM•ee•LEE•a / (name): of Latin origin, meaning “to strive”, “emulate”, or “excel”. This one came from deep within my family tree — Lois’s great-great-great-grandmother was named Emilia.
