Mothercare wishlist #1

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

Virtual online shopping is one of my favourite past-times, whether it's looking at houses I'd love to live in, or filling a virtual shopping basket with goodies and not buying them.  Well, now I have a great excuse to do some actual shopping - but before actually spending our money, I'm having a really good look around at the kind of things I want to buy for little Squidge.

Even though we'll be finding out if they're a boy or a girl, I still want to keep the room pretty neutral, it certainly won't be blue or pink, more likely yellows, beiges with splashes of colour.  Lots of people have said to me not to worry what the room look like or what we have, as the baby won't care, but I will care, and I'll be spending a lot of time in there breastfeeding, changing the baby etc, so I want it to be a nice place to spend time in.

It's a really small room, a box room really, so we need to be really smart with our use of the space, I'm not looking at furniture just yet, it's just the small things, the bigger stuff can wait until later :)

I'm really bad at dealing with poo - and this is something I'm going to HAVE to get used to and live with.  But I'm also all for making my life easier, which is why I've included a nappy disposal bin on my wishlist - you plop the nappy in, and the bin wraps it up in a bag creating a sausage-like train of wrapped nappies - then you just empty these away, and it keeps the horrid smells out.

I love the idea of a musical mobile for over the cot, and this one is super cute, I love the little happy animals that look like they're flying, this will be a definite purchase for me :D

The baby grows and clothing were just a few pieces I found that were under the 'unisex' banner and that I thought were gorgeous - I mean, slippers for a baby, how cute!  Love the lamp baby grows too, I'm obsessed with lambs (this is my favourite time of year because of that!), and what baby would be complete without a hungry caterpillar baby grow :)

Finally I picked a couple of lights that I thought were gorgeous.  I'm NOT a fan of 'big lights' - i.e. ceiling lights, they're always too bright, or not quite bright enough, I much prefer soft lighting from lamps, so Squidge's room will be equipped with a nice lamp, and a soft night light (like the elephant ceramic light).

I hope you've liked this wishlist, I'll be publishing plenty more over the coming weeks/months on all aspects of setting up the baby's room, like nursery inspiration posts, baby clothing, baby furniture, decor/flooring etc :)

Thanks for reading, catch you tomorrow :)
