Glastonbury fun with our newborn baby daughter, family and friends

 We took a couple of weeks off from work after Arabella was born and headed to Glastonbury festival with my husband Harry, daughter Constance Avalon, and our new born baby daughter Arabella Leah. (not forgetting our 20 odd friends and my dad!)  ‘mad’ most people called us, especially because I’d had a c-section 5 days before,  but for me it was a chance to relax with my family, for Connie it was time to dance, have fun and be free,  for my husband it was a chance to unwind and have a few beers with his friends and for baby Arabella, well  a chance to feel the energy of  the life we love .

We were featured on the orange Blog  and on channel 5 as Arabella was the youngest festival goer at glastonbury  (untill Saturday that is!!!)  Another crazy mum came back on site after having her baby (Ruben) who was 2 days old…  lets hope we see littel Ruben in the NCT tent in the Kidz field next year and meet his fab folks

 We went to  Arabellas Bridge, after all Arabella is named after the famous Arabella Churchill . We also took  Connies ‘anual’ photo at the Avalon field (her middle name is Avalon after the Glastonbury fields of Avalon – Yes we love glasto that much that we name our kids after the fields!!!  Next child is due to be called Arcadia or maybe Trash City !!!! :O)

 The whole 5 days Arabella never cried, she just took it all in, slept and fed… she just seemed to kick back and enjoyed the energy of the best festival in the world. 

I was well looked after by the Radical Midwives in the Healing fields, who would check my scar and check Arabella over. On our walks though the Greenfields I was always give a stern warning from Liz (The Greenfields co-ordinator) to take care and not walk too far :O)

The sun was hot hot hot hot, so we would have to get up early to ensure we found shade for the midday sun, this meant we had to miss a few bands, but it also meant we had no other option other than have time to relax (which was great for me after my operation) so we spent a few days in the Greenfields under the shade watching the world go by, chatting and hanging out with our friends, people watching,  eating wonderful fresh organic food and drinking healthy smoothies and consuming a fair amount of ice-cream!!!

  
When it got a bit cooler we’d venture out to see the bands and have a boogie

  
We had an amazing time – the whole 5 days past too quickly, cant wait untill next year.

 

 

Arrival of our new baby girl

Tuesday 22nd June 2010 by Louise Carron Harris, 3 comments

Last thursday we were sent to hospital to be monitored because we’d not felt any fetal movementfor 12 hours. on the way to hospital i went into full swing labour – within hour of being monitored at the hospital i was whipped in to have emergency c-section – it was scary for harry my husband,  i was not so aware of what was going on – we lost her heart beat and she’s had a big poo inside and was very much in distress. The hospital staff were fantastic, harry was amazing and Arabella Leah Catherine Harris was born at 5.15pm 8.3lb beautiful head of black hair, and most important very very healthy! 

 we’re off to glastonbury festival tonight, just to show her how crazy this world really is

this song is dedicated to my daughters

lou rhodes – one good thing

her’s Constance and Arabella – my beautiful daughters – how lucky i am
