Outfits of 2014

Sorry there aren't more outfits to share with you from 2014.. it's hard to look stylish with baby drool and spit-up all over you haha. I definitely take my hat off to girls like Mica from awayfromtheblue who uploads regular outfit posts looking uber stylish WHILE looking after her little bub. Girl - you are an inspiration!

Looking back on these pics, makes me miss my big belly haha - I never thought I would say that! Maybe I'm getting clucky again! :O

My style this year has been all about comfort, both during pregnancy and after, with leggings/jeggings, flat shoes, loose tops and cardigans. I wonder how next year's outfits will compare!

What's in My Baby's Hospital Bag!

If you saw yesterday's post, you would have seen what I packed in my hospital bag for labour & delivery... and as promised, here's a look at what I've packed for bub.

I'm using this nappy bag that I bought from pink lining which I absolutely LOVE, it has everything I need in a nappy bag (and plenty of room for bub's things) plus I think it's the cutest thing ever. 

The Basics

What's in My Hospital Bag!

So I thought I would show you guys what I've packed in my hospital bag.. keep in mind that I'll be in hospital for 4 or 5 days (depending on whether I'll have a c-section or not). Also I've packed two bags, one for me and one for bub (I'll do a separate post on what's in bub's bag soon).
