I frequently get asked when I’m having another baby now that Taylor is 2yrs old. Many insist almost that I should because “you don’t want to be surrounded by boys, you should have a girl to even out the balance”. My usual reply is that there is only room for one cow-bag in my house and that is me 🙂 . This usually works for a while.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-baby and I do have my broody moments but I am being very careful to boil my water at the moment because there must be something in there given how many people I know locally who are pregnant! Amongst this vast number I’m thrilled to say is one of my sisters who is expecting her first boy or girl in early October. Cue full-on auntie mode!
This will be the first of my sisters to have a baby, although I have lots of fabulous nephews from my brothers and I am actually quite excited. I have a new-found enthusiasm for maternity clothes sites and baby gift shops and I have plans for spoiling this new arrival when he or she arrives.
Browsing once more I’m amazed at the range of gift ideas, both practical and just pretty that I seem to have glossed over when pregnant with my two. If this baby shares the love of shoes of his or her (Hurry up next scan so we can hopefully find out the gender) mother then these soft leather baby shoes will be a must! I’m not sure but I think buying for others could actually be more fun that buying for your own in a way because you don’t have a big to-get list and may enjoy getting things like these Merry Berries.
I received some gorgeous practical gifts when pregnant with my two and was ever so thankful for them at the time so should probably do the same myself for my sister however I’m having so much fun. A question for my readers who are parents….. What was the best gift you received and why? You might help me with other ideas for spoiling the new arrival!
