After a week of toddler sleep challenges

Coughs, colds and croup

A disappointing antenatal appointment

I have decided to distract myself with some shopping

I am starting to piece together a newborn wardrobe

For our very last baby girl

Our Sprinkle of Stardust

This last tough week has made me more accepting of the fact

That this really will be our last baby

And more determined to enjoy the end of this pregnancy

And our last ever newborn baby daze

Here are some of the items of clothing I have bought

Or been sent for our little baby girl

And some things that I still have my eye on

Though really

How much clothing does a newborn baby need?

For new babies I love sleepsuits

And the best ones I have ever found are from The Essential One

My hospital bag includes white short sleeve bodysuits

And white sleepsuits from The Essential One

Once baby is home I have gone with a vintage floral theme

I bought these floral frill sleepsuits in newborn size

And the lovely Bex from The Mummy Adventure

Has also sent me the next size up

And I am so happy because they are so very very pretty

Who can resist a ruffle bum romper?

The lovely team at The Essential One

Have also sent this vintage floral set for Sprinkle

Which I cannot wait for her to wear

As Sprinkle is a Spring baby

I have chosen some bunny clothing

Alongside the florals

I bought this flowerbed gift set as a special treat

From Boden

I have never owned any Baby Boden before

I also bought the matching towel to wrap baby in when she is first born

For those all important first photos

Coordinating muslins

And some complementary bunny vests and a pointelle pack

From Next I have bought some stunning ochre dungarees

A set of floral rompers

A lilac dress with bunny tights

Dragonfly vests

And a lovely romper and hat set

I am obviously hoping for a hot summer!

This little girl in just a couple of weeks

Has gone from having nothing of her very own

To having this very special set of clothes for her earliest days

And as if all this were not enough

She has also been sent a very Lovely

Matilda Mae inspired outfit

From the team at aden+anais

All the stars!

Lovely

I have also started sorting through Bea’s old clothes

So many lovely things I had forgotten about

It may be that the sizes and seasons do not quite match

So I am glad that Sprinkle now has a little capsule starter wardrobe of her own

And I still have my eye on some other baby bits

For 0 – 6 months

When finances allow

What do you think of Sprinkle’s style so far?

As a friend reminded me today

Shopping, even window shopping

Is good for the soul!
