Nico and Joolz

Jacket - Miss Guided £59.99

Pram - Joolz (Lobster Fabric)

Well Nico is a month old and it has flown in - what a difference from the long days of third trimester, the weeks never seem to end but now that he is here the days are going so quick.

I will be writing a 'Birth Story' post as I have received emails from my readers asking about my birth experience so I will make some time during baby's night time sleep to write a post.

Today I decided to do a quick blog post on my way back from a long walk with Nicholas and his granny as it is the first time I have felt reasonably okay about my postpartum body and added a little bit of style into my 'mummy' wardrobe.  I am in my pre-pregnancy leggings and jumper with the addition of this new coat from Miss Guided and I am back in heels, although they are not high, they are still heels and it feels great.

Now that we are all settled at home I will be aiming to blog weekly featuring product reviews, mum and baby outfit posts and everyday ponderings.

Today is 4 week postpartum

Hospital Bag #38weeks

 

Well here I am sitting at 38 weeks all prepared and taking it easy just willing for some indication of labour.  I have become very impatient and trying long walks, reflexology, spicy food, squats, baths and (uh-hum) sex but I know it will happen in good time and only when baby is ready.  It is safe to say though that I feel huge and bump looks huge so doing an outfit post is out of the question since i've been living in my dressing gown the last couple of days and then changing into my standard black maternity LBD if I have to go anywhere.  It is nice to look back at my posts and see the change - and to think I thought the bump would not change that much from my baby shower but I was wrong, baby got bigger, a lot bigger.  So I thought as a last little blog post before the baby arrives I thought I would share what I have packed in my baby's hospital bag as it something that does vary from person to person, with the same concerns of  'Have I packed too much?' - 'Have I packed too little?' - 'Have I packed the right sizes?'
