Flowers. French Fashion. Vale Liz.

One of the lovely things about having a baby is that you literally get showered with flowers. These hyacinths are pretty special aren't they? They came out of a beautiful bouquet from my Fellow Coalminers (Thank you!). Phoebe Stephens actioned them. She never gets it wrong. It seems fitting that they're resting on my Liz Love Affair with Jewellery book. Poor Liz. Edited to Add all stamens and pollen were removed from the lillies by me because I know they are dangerous for babies, plus I hate the stains, but thank you for the people who emailed me to warn me- the photos were taken a while back now. x

Must get cracking with my thank you notes.

On the advice of my friend T, I assembled a Fancy Pants Special Outfit for the baby to Come Home in. I like a bit of French Fashion Action and he's a Joiner so he does too. The gorgeous sailor suit arrangement direct from Paris was a gift from M and I love it! The socks and wrap are French too. They're from my sisters.

and Amber's been tripping the Light Fantastic in Paris at the Collections sourcing clobber for Jean Brown AND the baby- she picked up this adorable French getup for him in my 2nd favourite colour ORANGE. Hooray.

Don't tell anyone but I like to dress him up in cute outfits during the day. He's pretty compliant. So far.

This was the view from my hospital room on my last night. Can I just say I loved my hospital stay 11/10? The room was lovely, I had my own bathroom, the food was good (we got such superior choices!), there was a bed for Mr FF to stay over, the nurses, doctors and staff were so nice, anyone who was with me for meals got one too.... If they'd told me I could've stayed another week I would've been thrilled. I was actually sad to leave. I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would be in a hurry to get home.

But just in case the food wasn't any good, my friends bought me lots of treats. Like this lemon tart. 11/10.

And I have been gorging myself on Maggie Beer pate. Gee I missed this.

Yesterday was a big day for us- the baby met his Grandma and the Hungarian to the Stars. Love at First Sight All Round.

There are so many Liz documentaries on at the moment. She really lived life to the full.

I'd forgotten she experimented with blonde.

That Face. Unbelievable.

and Rachel Zoe's copied me and had herself a baby boy too! Hers is called Skyler. Mine is not.

Haven't got tired of staring at him yet.

I was worried that the hospital had no night nursery and made everyone "room in" with their baby, but I shouldn't have been. I liked him right next to me in his mobile perspex cot thing so I could see him at any given moment.

Such a good night for tv what with Australian Story, 4 corners and Q and A.
