It’s been a long time since my last pregnancy update. Life is busy with an energetic toddler, which leaves little time to do much else. This pregnancy has flown by and I still can’t quite believe that I’ll be giving birth soon. I’ve slowly been adding to the nursery, I love sitting in there and looking at all the beautiful items we’ve collected for our baby girl. We just need to decided on paint colours and then it will be ready for her.
We have most baby items that we need from when Henry was little, but I’m still on the lookout for a co-sleeper, rather than use a moses basket again. I had my heart set on a Snuzpod, but they’re not sold in the US, and it would cost too much to ship one over here and pay customs, so my second choice will probably be the Halo Bassinest Swivel Sleeper. I want our little one really close so I can see, hear and touch her during the night, hopefully easing those anxieties that come with a tiny newborn.
We recently returned from our holiday at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It was so tranquil and beautiful there, the perfect babymoon. It was lovely to be able to have a holiday whilst pregnant. I would never risk flying while pregnant due to my history or preterm premature rupture of membranes, so to be able to take just a 3 and a half hour drive to somewhere so serene was ideal. We took the opportunity to have a family maternity shoot on the beach whilst we were there, which I’ll be posting more of soon!

Im so happy that things are going well for you and that the Doctors are keeping keen eyes on you that seem to have put you at ease. Fingers crossed that the remaining term is smooth and the birth is quick for you, so you can hold her as soon as safely possible! xx

Beautiful photos Amy! So glad to hear your pregnancy is going well. A little jealous that you've not got any stretch marks as I'm covered in them haha! They don't really bother me too much though – it's worth having them for this amazing experience. I feel like my pregnancy has flown by too. I only have 5 weeks left until my due date. So exciting and nerve wracking at the same time! All the best xo

Aw such beautiful photos, Amy. I wish you all the best with the rest of your pregnancy; I'm so glad that things are going well. How you've managed to do it all without stretch marks, I'll forever wonder!

Beautiful photos! Did you all rent a house for the babymoon? I know so many on the Outer Banks offer complimentary photo shoots so I'm sure that may have been perfect for you all.
FYI – leggings here in the states vary in quality but you'd probably love the maternity-friendly ones by Spanx sold at Target and check out the website BareNecessities dot com for more maternity choices for leggings, nursing chemises and bras.
