A Little List of Lovely from aden + anais

When you have your fifth baby

Your fourth daughter

She does not really need much in the way of clothing

Everything is handed down

From sister to sister to sister

As it should be

But every new human being needs some things that are just for them

Especially when it comes to clothing and accessories

I think it helps establish an individual identity from the start

I have also found with our girls

That their colouring has all been slightly different

Esther suits pale colours, pastels

Matilda suited navy and red and bright colours

Bea suits autumnal shades

I love her in mustard, burnt orange and navy

I have no idea what this last baby will suit

But at the very beginning

As with all her siblings before her

She will have a few things from me

To start her off in style

A theme shared by all our children

Has been stars

Made all the more poignant by losing Tilda

To the stars

As this is our last baby

I want to make the very most of the newborn days

I want to savour them

Photograph them

Film them

I want them to be lovely

I think you might find these things lovely too

Especially if like me you are expecting a little girl

A daughter of your own

Here is my little list of Lovely from aden + anais

Lovely Short Sleeve Kimono Bodysuit
Our weather is incredibly unpredictable

Looking back at when Matilda Mae was born

It was quite warm through May and June 2012

Who knows what the weather will be this year

So I am going to be prepared

With summer and winter outfits

For hospital and coming home

One thing I do know is that labour wards and NICUs

Are always roasting

So it is best to have some short sleeves for mummy, daddy and baby

This Lovely short sleeve suit is perfect alone

Or as an under layer

It is very pretty for a newborn baby girl

Versatile

So pretty

Lovely Dream Blanket

When Bea was born

I was induced

So we were unsure how long our hospital stay might be

I wanted to have home comforts

And pretty things around me

It is quite likely that I will be induced again this time

And so I am once again planning to take things from home with me

I want to surround myself with Lovely things

Including this beautiful Dream Blanket

To lay over me and baby as we rest after the birth

To lay baby on to take her first photos

To take home with us to snuggle in bed and on the sofa

Drinking in those Lovely newborn days

Oh I am so excited now

For our Lovely last baby to be born

To be with us

To be in my arms

All being well

We have just 12 weeks to wait

27-heart

As this is our last baby

I want to make the very most of the newborn days

I want to savour them

Photograph them

Film them

I want them to be lovely

  1. How lovely. So pretty and yet understated. So simple and soft for newborns and a mum with a newborn in her arms.
