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

We're still regularly geocaching! We go out with a walking route in mind and a cluster of caches to look for along the way. It's nice to escape the busy beach area and find quiet places in nature. In early April we invited friends to join us and we walked round...

Thank you for your kind words, Ceci! :)
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. I am thrilled that Hedda was able to have this experience with you by her bed side as I did. As you know, it was something I will never forget. Looking forward to seeing the images you captured of Stella and Finn meeting for the first time. Holly xxx
