As I mentioned in this post, we’re moving soon (possibly sooner than we thought too!) and now we know we’ve got a bouncing baby girl, it’s making the planning of her nursery a bit easier!! I’ve not bothered making our current spare room into a nursery as we knew we were moving within a few… Read More
