WIN A BABY MONITOR WITH SUMMER INFANT

Valentines is just around the corner so I thought I'd share a little baby love by running a competition <3 <3 <3 
I've teamed up with Summer Infant who are giving away a WIDE VIEW 2.0 DIGITAL VIDEO MONITOR worth £134.99 to one lucky Nicole in a Nutshell reader.

Can we talk about my leopard print baby wrap?

I am now the proud owner of a leopard print baby wrap. I repeat, a LEOPARD PRINT baby wrap.

This gorgeous baby wearing item was created by Artipoppe, a Netherlands based company that create luxury baby wraps and ring slings in the most stunning designs.  All products are made from premium, natural, breathable fabrics carefully sourced around the globe from Mongolia to Scotland. 

I'm so happy to have discovered a brand that enables me to keep my own personal sense of style whilst wearing baby in a close, practical and comfortably ergonomic way.

Do women fall pregnant just so they can own one of these? The answer is probably yes.

Sleepyhead zzzzzz

So, let me get straight to the point.  If I didn't own a Sleepyhead, I would not have the ability to write a sentence.

This blog post (and probably all future posts) are only possible because Sleepyhead actually gets baby to sleep. Which I guess is the purpose of the product.

As soon as I announced my pregnancy to friends, the "congratulations" were swiftly (and quite seriously) followed by "and definitely get a Sleepyhead".

S-T-R-E-T-C-H-M-A-R-K-S?

I'm currently 1 day over my due date and have so far steered clear of developing any stretch marks.

It's probably because I have literally drowned my body in oils and lotions every single day since discovering I was pregnant.

I'd been using Lucy Bee's Coconut Oil pre-pregnancy and increased the amount when my skin started getting a little itchy (due to boobs/bump slowly growing, etc).
It does take a while to absorb and Dan said I felt like a slippery fish whenever I got into bed.  I put so much on that it turned the bed sheets an odd colour so you do need to allow it to sink in (but I'm too impatient for that).
