With each of my babies I have developed a fondness for a particular animal and have sought out themed clothes and nursery items; with Noah it was whales and all things nautical, with Jude it was foxes, and with Essie it is rabbits. As soon as I knew she was a girl I became drawn to things with bunnies on, and actually it was the sweet illustrated rabbits on the Wild Cotton collection from The Little Green Sheep that caught my eye and started the bunny obsession!

Before Essie was born we received an amazing delivery of goodies from Cheeky Rascals to review. You might have seen the photo of all the boxes on my Instastories when they arrived! They sent us lots of fabulous products to help us adjust to life with a new baby and over the past few weeks they have been so helpful. I'll be giving you a closer look at each item individually and will also have a little video coming up soon about how some of the products have helped make the night-time feeds and nappy changes a little easier.

I absolutely love reading birth stories as every experience is so unique, and after sharing my own two very different birth experiences [emergency c-section and natural VBAC] I decided to ask other mums and dads to share their beautiful birth stories with me, too. If you’d like to share your birth story, send me an email or get in touch via Twitter or Facebook.

Today Ami from Through Ami's Eyes is sharing her birth experience. Ami had quite a tough experience, but lots of love and support from her family helped her through it.

This term Noah has been learning all about nature and mini beasts at nursery school. The children have being doing all sorts of fun things: they hatched butterflies, had an ugly bug ball and have been reading books with creepy crawlies. It was great timing when we were sent a little box of games relating to one of our favourite nature-inspired stories to review: The Very Hungry Caterpillar 4-in-1 Games Cube from Paul Lamond Games.

Neither of my boys were particularly great sleepers as babies. Noah was terrible in the beginning, made worse by his reflux. Jude was better, but it was still tough going. Friends would tell me how their babies loved white noise; not my babies though! So when pregnant a third time, I simply accepted that sleep is something I wouldn't have for a while.

Just before Essie was born, the kind people at Whisbear offered to send us one of their soft humming bears. I hesitated at first, knowing that white noise did nothing for the boys. Every baby is different though. Maybe this baby would like white noise? And if not, it would just be a lovely cuddly toy for her!

For the last five and a bit years, I've been pregnant, breastfeeding, or both! I've never treated myself to decent nursing bras though, always just settling for ones that vaguely fit, even if they weren't the most comfy or stylish. As long as I could easily feed my baby I was happy. Well, all that has changed, after Bravado sent me one of their ultra comfortable Body Silk Seamless Yoga Nursing Bras.
