ALL ABOUT THE HYPE | EWAN THE DREAM SHEEP

 

After the last installment of "All about the hype" - you can read my review on the covetted Perfect Prep Machine here - we move on to the next product in this series: Ewan the Dream Sheep. This little ball of fluff has been praised for helping aid babies sleep - as well as their parents - and who wouldn't want that! There are many different varieties of "bedtime womb noise" toys out their but Ewan seems to be the most commercially known. With his fluffy body and strap tail he makes a great addition to any babies bedroom - or pushchair! Retailing at £29.99 he doesn't really break the bank and isn't the most expensive of sleep aids and yes he's undoubtedly cute, but does he actually work miracles?

THEO | 8 WEEKS OLD

I cannot believe this little munchkin has been in the world for 8 weeks, that's almost 2 months! Crazy! This is our first update post as I didn't get the milestone cards until he was around a month old and then the colic kicked in and it was all a little bit chaotic.

CATCH UP | WHY I'M FEELING A LITTLE CHEATED...

My last post was over a month ago which is a little bit sad as I've tried to finish various posts and have missed out on a month of Theo's development and sharing it with the world. The reason I've been gone for so long is partially down to lack of sleep and a little colic monster but also because I've been stuck in a bit of a rut. I don't want to go anywhere or really do anything, I just want to sleep and stay in my little bubble - preferably on the sofa watching films. If I'm being completely honest with myself I think I've got a little bit of post natal depression and the reason I think this is isn't due to the lack of sleep or slightly and occasionally useless Daddy - it's because I still feel a little bit cheated.

ALL ABOUT THE HYPE | TOMMEE TIPPEE PERFECT PREP MACHINE

There are an array of products to chose from when it comes to kitting out your life ready for the arrival of your new addition. There are also a selection of coveted goodies which are considered essentials to making your baby raising experience a hell of a lot easier. As a first time Mum I can safely say I am a sucker for any products that make life better and more convenient but when it comes down to it, are these pricey pieces actually worth the hype? Over the next few weeks I'll be filling in the gaps as to what I think to the top selling baby products and if they are really as good as they say.

THEO'S FIRST WEEKS | QUICK CATCH UP

This weekend was Theo's 2 week birthday and also marked what would of been our 38th week of pregnancy. The last couple of weeks have been delightfully chaotic with last week being our first week at home fending for our selves after a full week in hospital. Due to this I've not really had a lot of time to even entertain the idea of writing a post so this will generally just be a bit of a catch up of the last few weeks with our new family unit of four. Plus I've jam packed it full of some of the many pictures I've taken! Who doesn't love a bit of baby spam!

THEO'S BIRTH STORY

As you may of seen, our little baby boy sprung into the world a week ago today on New Year's Eve and it's been a bit of hectic one since. He is finally here and a today we were finally allowed to come home - But how did this little bundle of goodness enter the world I hear you ask. Well as all good birth story's start, grab a cup of tea and you'll find out!
