I’m so excited to introduce you to our newest bundle of joy!
Arlo is home after a fast and furious entrance into the world this past Wednesday. We’re so happy and in love. I honestly don’t know how we ever lived without this little snuggle bug. He’s just so stinkin’ sweet. I want to freeze time because I know how quickly it flies. At 6 days old, it already seems like it’s going by way too fast, which I know probably sounds crazy.
Adriana is pretty smitten with little brother too; she’s assumed the role of doting big sis, making sure she lets us know if his blankie or hat falls off (“Hat off, hat off!”) and showering him with kisses and some “Wake up, Arlo!” screams for good measure. And questionable poking, lots of questionable poking.
This labour was completely different from the first. It started very slowly and sporadically over the course of a few days, and then it suddenly became fast, dramatic, and intense very quickly (just like my midwife warned). There were tears and f-bombs dropping, and that was before I even got to the hospital. I’m working on writing Arlo’s birth story, and I’ll link to the post here when it’s up! Right now it’s just a ton of random point form (with a few funny moments told by Eric…lol). I also have a few recipe posts planned for the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for those, too.
Thanks again for all of your well wishes over the past week. It really means the world to us!
With love from the (sleepy) Liddons,

What a miracle he is!
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! My baby (who is 18) just announced she is no longer eating meat. Yikes! What now? I purchased your books. Can you give me some quick tips? By the way, I am 50ish and a lot of my friends are going through the same thing with their children. I respect my daughter’s choice and I agree with it in principal but I need to get some protein in her, other than milk, cheese etc. Please note I have never “blogged” before and I am not sure if I am blogging now. Is there a section on your website I should refer to? Thank you for your help, and your books are beautiful. Kathryn
Congratulations Angela. He looks adorable. I wish you and your whole family well :)
Congratulations to all of you. What an absolutely precious and beautiful little baby…..such a gift.
What a sweetie! Congratulations!! It really does go so much faster with two babes! Quick question- I go back to work Monday.(Waaaa!) Have any suggestions on what to (easily) make ahead for a weeks worth of meals? Thank you and enjoy those snuggles!
Hi Sarah, This is a bit delayed, but I hope your back-to-work transition has been going well so far! For lunch ideas, I’d suggest checking out this Friday FAQs post, question #4. I talk about some great, quick-and-easy recipe options that are perfect make-aheads for work. I hope this helps!! And thank you so much for your kind congrats. :)
Hi Angela! Congratulations!! I hope all is going well with your new wee one!! I just wanted to let you know I love your new cookbook!! I am making the spicy cabbage soup today and also the banana bread! I just became vegan! I tried it a few years ago after your first book, which my daughter took from me!! I have to go buy another one. I really love all the recipes, and admire all of your hard work!!
Wishing you all the best!
Kathleen
