39 + 4 attempting to walk baby out

Having been up since 3am with period like pain (only girls will understand just what that is like) we are in town attempting to walk miles to bring labour on. 

The result....minifootsteps has Christmas present but we still aren't in labour

39weeks + 2days

Sigh little one is still inside my big belly. We had a little scare that he wasn't moving last night which resulted in 20minutes of monitoring. Luckerky he is fine just running out of space so not moving as violently. 

My brackston hicks contractions are getting stronger by the day + some other signs which would be to much information to share.

5 days until he is due

39 weeks is it the day

8am I've been awake nearly an hour thanks to a bad dream. Feeling really teary and as tho I need to sort loads of things out eventho there is noticing to do. Been texting daddy on his way to work missing him loads. No physical signs of labour but can feel it coming. Midwife appointment at 2pm and going to have a long walk before that.

P.s I'm going to update this blog in real time as I head into labour so expect loads of short poorly written posts

Baby booty haul

Sorry for neglecting this blog over the last few weeks, everything has been extremely hectic with only a few weeks until the little one is due to be born. Today is the first day of my maternity leave so I thought I would show you guys some of the super cute little booties we have been buying for our new arrival.

As you can see we have bought/been bought a small selection.

Firetrap Rhino Infant Crib shoes £9.99 from SportsDirect

Converse Babies Red 'Union Jack' Hi-Top Trainers £30 Amazon

Converse Infant Bootie Socks, we got our at JD Sports however they can also be found for £9.99 at Amazon  

My favourite have got to be the proper little shoes, both are a size C1 so the smallest availbale meaning they should fit him around xmas time. The socks are from Newborn and will be going in my hospital bag to bring him home. The Converse collection is very much daddyminifootsteps doing being his favourite shoes he insisted baby have some to match. Luckily my leaving present from work (I will be returning to a different base after my maternity leave) was the baby union jack Converse boots.

Now for the mams on a bit more of a budget (like we are now I'm on maternity leave) I picked these up in a local baby shop for £2.99. Similar ones are on ebay for £2.50

Blogging on the go

Me and daddy footsteps are currently shopping for wait for it.........Minifootsteps first Santa outfit!! Getting so excited with just over 4 weeks till he is due.

Whats in my hospital bag

Whats in my hospital bag 

Hey guys sorry for the long break between posts. Things around here have been a little hectic. Im currently 34 weeks pregnant with minifootsteps and starting to really feel pregnant.  

The other day me and daddy footsteps packed my hospital bag the other week which for us was a major step in making it feel real. I have split this list into three parts, we are taking everything with us as daddyfootsteps does not drive so want to be prepared. If you are travelling in your own car it might be wise to leave the majority of babies things in the car until they have arrived
