My due date was the 26th March but baby still quite happy to stay in 😆 I‘ve declined two inductions as I really wanted them to come in their own time but definitely booked in for one on Monday now.

I would really appreciate any positive thoughts that all goes well and smooth, especially as my partner can‘t be with me for the whole process, or even better that labour starts before I have to go in 🙏♥️

Stay safe 😘😘

Amiable Sending good wishes for a smooth and joyous birthing experience! 4y

Cathythoughts Sending love Katie... your looking beautiful & I can‘t wait to see the small one ❤️❤️❤️ 4y

This is gorgeous, and I absolutely love the concept of a "babymoon". As an idealistic parent pregnant with my first, this beautifully illustrated book would easily have been five stars. However, as a mom of five, with my baby days behind me, I wished for a little more realism. There was no inconsolably crying newborn who is hungry because mom's milk hasn't come in. Review continued in comments.

Krisjericho There is not a crying mother whose nipples are cracked and bleeding as she learns to nurse, or a mother who is bottle feeding aching in pain because her boobs are going to explode. There is no father who has to go back to work two days after baby is born because there no leave for that kind of stuff in our backwards country. This is beautiful. This is how I thought it would be. It isn't how it actually is most of the time, though. 5y

This is a lovely book about the beginnings of having a child. So sweet it made my eyes prickle. I also liked the not typical biracial couple that was depicted.

I‘m currently pregnant with my 2nd kiddo & this incredibly sweet book is such a treat. The author captures those quiet moments at home with a newborn as you establish your new family.
Each page has rhyming lines like,
“Familiar lullabies to croon.
This gentle time, our baby moon.”

The illustrations are lovely. From baby‘s tiny yawn to a curious puppy, they are filled with love. I‘ll be getting copies of this one for friends that are expecting!

LeahBergen Congratulations to you! ❤️ 5y

Ddzmini Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 5y
