It’s a boy!
I’m absolutely delighted to announce the arrival of a beautiful baby boy! Hedda and Michiel welcomed their second child, a son, early this morning.
Introducing Phineas Joaquin.
Born at 07:26 in the Hagaziekenhuis, and weighing 4200g (9lb 4oz), he’s absolutely perfect!
What a wonderful start to a beautiful September day!
Big sister, Stella, was so excited to meet her new baby brother and couldn’t wait to give him a welcoming kiss when they arrived home. What a joy it was to be invited to share in those moments too and to see Stella’s reaction.
Here’s a couple more images from those first moments at home.
Many congratulations to Hedda and Michiel – you were both so amazing! I’m so happy for you and your growing family and I’m incredibly touched to have been able to share these very special moments with you. I can’t wait to start working on your birth story slideshow!
With much love,
~Natalie

Yay! So thrilled to get a glimpse of little Finn and now can’t wait for a squeeze next week. You did another amazing job, Natalie.
