I personally find it so much fun preparing for a new arrival and I love getting to that stage in pregnancy when the shopping-fun can begin. Last week I decided I'd hit that stage and I excitedly rushed to the shops to do some of my favorite sort of shopping - baby shopping!
One of my favorite places to shop for new baby essentials has to be M&S. They've got some amazing things in their M&S Baby range at the moment and it's hard not to want to get everything. Here are some of the baby things I picked up for baby #2 last week:I've always been a huge fan of the more neutral baby items for boys. I've always liked dressing Ethan in greys, navy blues and whites. And so ever since finding out baby #2 is going to be a boy too, I've been keeping my eyes out looking for some new things to get for him. He'll be mostly living in Ethans old clothes, but I still can't help buying a few new things, simply because I find buying and preparing for a newborn so utterly exciting!
I adore both of these onesie's above- they feature my favorite sorts of prints and the quality of both is as you would expect from somewhere like M&S - brilliant. I've got them in up to 3 months I believe, but that's because I want them to last and after Ethan was such a big baby at birth, it's put me off of buying anything in newborn/new baby size.
How sweet is this blanket? Again I love the colours and the quality of it. I will most likely use this as a pram blanket. It's just adorable isn't it?
This little jacket is again, adorable and I love that it's reversible too - sort of like having two jackets in one! I love the colours and again how utterly soft it is. I'd actually forgotten how small and sweet new baby clothes are.
I can't help but feel a little emotional when looking at these and picturing my baby wearing them. The cardigan will be perfect for the month that he's due to be born - June, as it will work as a lighter alternative to his jacket. The shirt bodysuit is one that I couldn't resist either - I really do love smart clothes on babies and toddlers!
I wanted to get this as I wanted something just the right size for baby to grab as he starts to grow after his first few weeks of life and I thought that this was not only super sweet but also the perfect size for tiny baby hands and fingers to grab at.
