Our baby is a boy!!!
We are so excited to share that this handsome wee man, Finlay Colin MacDonald (Finn), joined our family on Monday 25th October 2021 at 10.23am weighing in at 8lb 4oz. We could not be more excited to have him here!! And still sort of in shock that after 2 beautiful girls we have a little boy!

His birth went really well and despite being in Level 3 lockdown, Josh & I were able to spend 48 hours at River Ridge birthing centre after having him at the hospital, just like we did with the girls. The only difference this time was that we were not allowed any visitors but it actually ended being a really relaxing 2 days getting to know the newest member of our family and having him all to ourselves before heading home to introduce him to his very excited big sisters!!
I will write up his birth story to share soon and plan to try and keep up with the monthly updates like I did with the girls but you know, third child, so we will see how that goes!!
Until then, enjoy a few brand new baby pictures of our precious wee baby!
