Introducing…Emilia Jane

Introducing…Emilia Jane

March 7, 2019

This post originally appeared at Rebel Angel.

On 1st March 2019 at 4.55am, this beautiful little lady, Emilia Jane, Emmy for short, made her grand entrance into the world at 7lb 3oz – and no one actually measured her, so we can’t tell you that!

It’s been a week since the big day, so I’m a little bit late to share! It’s been a crazy time though. I’ll, of course, share the full birth story and lots, lots more about everything at some point, but here’s a quick overview.

My waters broke on my due date (28th February) at 5.30am – right on time! It took a few hours but very mild contractions set in during the day time. We were admitted to the hospital around 10pm, then Emmy arrived at 4.55am the next morning via ventouse delivery, leaving me with a few stitches.

I’m excited to share how hypnobirthing worked for me as I had a fairly mixed experience – the vast majority of my labour being fantastic, but with a bit of a twist at the end – all to come in good time!

We spent 4 days, 3 nights, in hospital due to Emmy having a bit of jaundice which caused her to be very sleepy and have some problems getting going feeding and me being a bit anaemic, but we’re home now and totally in love! Again, all to come in good time, but I’d originally wanted to get out of hospital as soon as possible – within the day preferably – so we could get settled at home, but I’ve now changed my mind about that opinion and think our stay in hospital was very well worth it.

We’ve taken about a million photos of this gorgeous little girl already and had many besotted visitors. This is probably my first bit of downtime since this time last week! I’ve just said to Ben this is the longest I’ve gone without typing on a keyboard in…ever – it felt weird to pick up the laptop again!

Anyway, stay tuned for more. Oh, and I’ve still got my 39 weeks pregnancy diary to share too – considering my labour started bang on 40 weeks, I didn’t get the chance! For now, I’m just enjoying spending time with the most beautiful baby I’ve seen – and I swear I’m not biased!

I accidentally fell into the world of Scandi kids I accidentally fell into the world of Scandi kids clothing a little while ago, and last week, I decided to grab some bits in my first DUNS drop - eek! @dunssweden has wonderful, uplifting and unique designs that are not only GOTS Certified but are also unisex and even have clothes that are now known as “Mama Duns” – matching pieces for mums (and sometimes dads!). Emmy and I managed to snag matching Purple Meadow Baggy Pants and we're in love! Head over to the blog (link in bio) to read more about my journey into Scandi clothing and how I grabbed this pair of baggy pants (yes, they might be a size 134/140!). #organic #fashrev #dunssweden #schwedischen #scandinavian #shopdunssweden #morethanafling @shopdunssweden #organickidswear #kidsfashion #sustainablefashion #sustainable #gots #byttilleko #inspiration #ecokids #goorganic #unisexfashion #swedish #summer2020 #colorful #happykids #organickidsfashion #emiliajane #emmyjane #themodernmotherhood
[Ad] Hey Instagram, it's been a while! We all know [Ad] Hey Instagram, it's been a while! We all know things have been going on in the world, but in addition to that, I went back to work and also have a baby turning toddler - that really pushes the limits of how much social media I can manage!

But today I'm back with a post all about baby led weaning. Over on the blog (link in bio) I've shared 50+ tried and tested baby led weaning meal ideas that Emmy loves (this girl LOVES her food!). We were super lucky to be gifted some @littlefreddieuk pouches to try recently, and this Grass Fed Beef Lasagne with a pinch of parmesan pouch has been a big winner over here. Available at Sainsburys, organic ingredients and a commitment to real food and sustainability, what else could you want from baby food? We were really impressed at how this little pouch packs a punch nutritionally and with flavour too - we may have snuck a couple of tastes too!

Check out how we incorporated this pouch into a meal for Emmy over at the blog along with a lot more meal ideas for 1 year olds, as well as a link to the Little Freddie coupon page where you can claim your own coupons.

Remember last year when I visited our local pumpki Remember last year when I visited our local pumpkin patch with a teeny bump? This year we went back with a much bigger "pumpkin" in tow! Emmy's first time pumpkin picking was a huge success and I can't wait to make this a tradition year after year. She looks like she's going to be a Halloweeny kind of girl!

Words can't even describe the experience of the pa Words can't even describe the experience of the past 2 days! Yesterday Emmy went to her first ever play, and I'm so so proud that it was the wonderful work of @charley_smiles90 with There Are No Beginnings at @leedsplayhouse. 
Since it was a mother and baby performance yesterday, I actually went back again today with Ben this time (while Emmy chilled with Charley and Frankie) to experience it all over again and I can't even tell you how incredible it was, both times!
I'll have a full review on the blog soon but in short, this was the most powerful and passionate performance full of strong women. And even though I've seen it twice in two days, I wouldn't hesitate to see it again.
