Things For My Boy

Blanket - Mamas & Papas

£29.95

As we didn't know the sex of our baby until he was born, we had a wardrobe full of cream, grey, yellow and white.  

I couldn't help but drag Noah and G to the shops on day 3 to stock up on some boy specific clothes! I've since been enjoying buying things I saw when I was pregnant but didn't get. 

Here are some of my loves from the past 8 weeks...

Bear Onesie - H&M 

£14.99

Nautical print tee, 2 pack - Tesco

£6

Striped Cardigan - Tesco

£7

Collared Baby Set - Boden

£24-£26 depending on size

Wedding Season

Baby Tuxedo Set - H&M

My Cousin is getting married in May and we are travelling to Newcastle to celebrate with them.  This year, not only do I need a lovely outfit for my post pregnancy/breastfeeding body, but I get to pick out something lovely for Noah.

As he is growing so quickly at the moment I didn't want to spend loads on an outfit, as he really will only get one wear out of it.

I am so pleased with this fantastic little set from H&M at £7.99! What a bargain and so totally cute!

Becoming a Mummy

On Friday 23rd May, only 4 days after posting about wanting to start a family, I found out I was pregnant - maybe I knew!

A mixture of fear, shock, and dread ran through me initially, as this certainly wasn't the plan for the next year or 2.

But I am so thoroughly delighted to say that on 30th January at 10:37 G and I welcomed our beautiful little boy Noah into our family.  I have now become one of those people who has become consumed by all things baby!

After a pretty good pregnancy, a trapped sciatic nerve for the last 2 weeks (meaning I was totally house bound), a pretty easy, drug free labour, and 8 weeks getting to grips with being a mummy, I want to start blogging again.

I absolutely adore being a mummy. I feel I  have learnt so much already and am looking forward to sharing it with you.

And so they wore blue

{23rd July 2013}

Today I am so proud to be British.  It is so nice that in this day and age the country still comes together to celebrate when a National event occurs.  It is also so lovely that so many traditions are still upheld as they have been for hundreds of years.

We were lucky enough to have the tele on as the news broke of the birth of the new Prince and today as the Duke and Dutchess left the Lindo Wing to introduce their new son to the world.   They both looked so happy and I was super loving the blue coordinating outfits for a boy.  I wonder if William would have been brave enough to wear pink had it been a baby girl.

Congratulations to the happy couple and I am so excited to find out his name and watch him grow up.
