Naughty shopping trip

So I have been trying to not spend money but had to hit the shops today to get Nemo his birthday present. 

Of course it was Prince George's birthday this week and it made me laugh because the 22nd July was Nemo's due date, he in fact came 2 weeks later but I remember in the intense heat of July last year how annoying I found it that Kate had her baby on my due date! I would not de co end late pregnancy in the middle of summer (especially when you go two weeks overdue!) to anyone. I think I have planned it much better this time having a winter baby! Someone else told me that a January baby is nice because by the time you're settled and starting to reemerge into the world after having your second baby the weathers turning warmer again. 

Anyway having had big debates about Nemo's birthday present, because quite frankly he has more toys then any one child needs we chose to get Nemo a toy garage. It seems a slightly more grown up toy for him to grow into. 

After lots of deliberations I got this one:

This was on the basis that it had a ramp and a lift! 

However I fell into the trap of being in baby shops and got a couple of sneaky extra things as well:

This is a little all in one for baby pebble made out of pyjama material. It was on sale in mama and papas from their Christmas range but will be good for a January baby. As I said to my husband being a second time mother I should know it's not the most practical clothing for a newborn (Nemo lived in sleep suits and vests for the first 3 months at least!) but it was nice to get one little cute thing for pebble! (Plus it does popper all the way down so it's not entirely inpractical!)

I also brought this outfit for Nemo:

It's a Lily and Sid shorts and t-shirt combo and I love their cute clothes but they are sooo expensive! At half price the outfit was still on the pricey side but much more reasonable and Nemo did need more shorts.... (This is my justifacation to myself!) plus isn't it cute?

I also got some half price shoes as well as Nemo is doing more walking now (he took he first step on his own on the weekend although only Grandma got to see it!) 

Aren't I naughty!?!

We are visiting Nemo's aunt and uncle in Cambridge this weekend and I think I will get Nemo all dressed up in his outfit for the visit! We are also doing a flying visit to my parents on the way as Cambridge was a bit too far in one go for Nemo! 

Nemo was spoilt over the weekend by Grandma who came to see our new house, my Mum went all soft and bought him this ride on:

Her blog on the weekend is this: http://nicemurderknitter.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/night-before-pill.html

We had another scan last week as they were unable to get the measurements they needed first time round here is pebble last week:

In the second photo Pebble's having a stretch and you can see the legs! 

Well I better start packing for the weekend, the only potential hiccup is that Poppy is not very well (you don't want me to go into details!) I hope it doesn't stop us going!
