FYI: I prepared this blog post before our baby girl arrived so there would still be fresh content on the blog while I am taking a break from blogging. That’s why you’ll still see me pregnant or referencing my pregnancy in some upcoming blog posts!

Good morning y´all,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I decided to shoot the nursery before baby girl get´s here simply because I am sure I will have plenty of pictures with her later on and it is just easier to take photos without a newborn (at least that is what I think). 

The theme of the nursery is jungle book or lots of animals. It came together easily as the room was already nicely painted when we moved in so we decided to leave it that way and figure out what to do with the room as we needed it (side note – we both absolutely loathe painting so this was a nice surprise). 

First thing I ever got for this room were the banana leaf curtains from H&M and then I went from there with all white furniture, a golden carpet matching the tipi and the floor and lots of stuffed animals you can also find in the prints on the wall. 

One of the highlights definitely is the customized name plate above her bed. I have found it at an Etsy shop and it came very quick made of great quality. Going to link the shop here

Since I started working on the room before we even knew what gender our baby had this makes the perfect gender neutral nursery. 

Do you prefer more or less color for home decor in general ? Would you go with a green wall?

Happy Thursday you guys, 

I am breaking my blog leave today to introduce our baby girl to you. I am so happy that she is finally here. 

Her name is Emilia and she came into this world on the 27th of March at 08:19 in the morning. She has dark blonde soft hair and weighed 3.260 gramms at a lenght of 50 cm. We were a little surprised at how small she was cause our doctor told us that she is going to be a big baby. 

I was in labor for about 12 hours but more on that later. She came exactly one week early and I am really really glad about that with all the Corona craziness happening and the super strict ever changing hospital policies. 

We are absolutely smitten by her and love her more every day. She is the cutest baby we have ever seen and we can´t keep our eyes of her.

Make sure to check back tomorrow for a huge beauty blog post and if you want to see more of our cute baby check my Instagram stories.

All the baby products we have gotten so far (amazon guide)….

….

Hello y´all,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

today´s post might not be for eveyone but for all my mama´s to-be out there this could be quite useful. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I started to do my research on baby products in online shops, on other mama bloggers sites and everywhere in between. All of our friends are still childless so I couldn´t ask any of them but I think I did quite well. How useful and probably more important how often the items will be used when the baby is here is still out in the open.

Car Seat Maxi Cosi Rock Group 0 // I had a look at many different car seat brands but ended up liking the Maxi Cosi the most. They seems to be really safe and also affordable which makes them attractive for many people I think. Ours is the Rock in Group 0 which is the newborn phase and up. We have the sparkling grey and I personally love that it glitters in the sun. Of course you can also get a plain color.

Car seat knitted sunroof // I wanted another color for the Maxi Cosi but couldn´t find one I really liked so I got this cute little knit cover for it which is so pretty and adds a whimsical touch.

Car seat cover // I think they are super practical if you are carrying the baby in the car seat with you to doctors appointments so the light will she shut out and it is also a great way to keep germs off.

Baby Björn Rocker // Heard and seen that this is the holy grail rocking chair for happy babies. Every mom I am following on Instagram has pointed out that this is the best rocker they could possibly find. It is a little more expensive than other but you can turn it inside out and use it as a chair when your baby has grown into the toddler stage.

Baby Björn Rocker toy // Got this recommended as I put my rocker in the cart. I ended up buying it too because I think it will make a fun little additon to the rocker for the baby to play but to be honest it is a little bit pricier than I would want it to be.

Mammacita burp clothes // Not much to add to these. I will need them anyway so why not get some with adorable lamas.

Sleepyhead // Since the Dock-A-Tot isn´t available in Germany I have found a similar one from the UK. The brand is called sleepyhead and I would say it is the same product. At least it looks the same and the prints are also very similar. I plan on using this for the sofa and also as an insert for the crib beside our bed.

SkipHop changing pad // Got this changing pad to carry in my tote or the stroller with me. I have another one in my diaper bag, also from SkipHop. I think their pieces are super cute and affordable and so far I think the quality is really great. 

Nightlight // Great to light up the baby´s room and also perfect for breastfeeding in the middle of the night. It has a touch sensor and 3 different levels of light. I also plan on packing this in my hospital bag. 

WMF bottle warmer // There are bottle warmer of any brand out there but they also only fit the brands bottles so I had been on the hunt for one that warms any bottle I would want to heat up and also thaws and warms breastmilk from the freezer bags.

Diaper pail // This one is supposed to seal up each and every diaper individually so it won´t smell. We´ll find out. You can get different skins for your diaper pail with a ton of patterns. 

Drip tray for baby bottles and pacis // I thought this was super cute to put the bottles and pacis on after sterilizing them to dry.

Portable white noise mashine // Got this because of many recommendations. It is easy to use and makes a bunch of different noises.

Baby knit blanket // Wanted to match a cute baby blanket with our stroller and this one fits the bill in color and style and softness.

Velcro Swaddles // Hopefully these will support our baby to sleep good during nap times and nights. 

breastfeading pillow // It was really hard for me to find a breastfeeding pillow that wasn´t super cheesy or ugly for me. Why do all of the prints and colors have to be so over the top ugly in Germany. I really don´t get it.

car mirror // I never thought of this but it makes total sense to have one of these, also for safety reasons. It takes less time looking in the mirror what the baby is doing than turning your head while driving.

flexible toy ball // I know that the baby will be to small to grab anything in the beginning but I ended up getting it cause I figured at some point we need grabing toys as well.

There are millions of articles out there to shop for and in the end you have to decide for yourself what you really need and want but I think a little guide on what other people recommend and get might make it a little easier.

All of the prodcuts are from amazon and most come with prime shipping so if you decide on anything last minute I am sure you will get it in time.

20 Weeks Pregnancy Update – halfway through…

Hello guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I have started my 23rd week yesterday which means I am officially halfway through my pregnancy and I thought I share a little halway through update with you. I can´t believe it we have more than halftime now and gonna meet this little baby sooner than later. 

The nursery is in full planning and I have gotten in a lot of baby products the last weeks. We also went baby clothes shopping since we do know that this little peanut is going to be a girl.

Another great milestone has been that I have felt the first kicks at the end of my 20th week. Now I am looking forward to it every evening. The baby mostly moves recognizable in the evenings after massaging my belly with oil. This makes it a bit more real than it already is. 

My belly has grown pretty big so this probably will be one big baby. I had my last ultrasound appointment on Monday and it was also Florian´s first time seeing the baby live and moving around. It went great and and she moved a lot but covered her cute face with her hands most of the time.

I also had my big 20 week organ ultrasound on Tuesday and everything looks really good. You could also see all the bone and count the little finger.

My gestational diabetes has become a lot better too. I haven´t had to further adjust the amount of insulin I have to take. I am still restricted with a bunch of things to eat but at least I know what I do it for.

The only maternity pieces I have gotten so far are a pair of jeans and a pair of black tights. For all my other things I have just sized up one or two sizes.

Also my navel is still inside but Florian is checking everyday cause he thinks it´s going to pop very soon. I do not think it is. We´ll see.
