FINAL WEEKS OF NESTING

A week of soaking up these last moments before baby arrives.
Wonder if this will be the last one!
Hope you are all well, lots of love, Laura

[@milenafey6466]

The best advice I ever got regarding clothes when breastfeeding was: get a breastfeeding bra, wear a tanktop on top and then any regular top or sweater. That way you can use all of your clothes for breastfeeding. Just pull the tanktop down a bit and lift your other top up a bit. Voila. Wishing you a good delivery, Laura!

[@LucyVMakes]

I second this, feeding baby #2 now and I barely ever wear the feeding tops I bought and the above method just works so well and stops you needing to open up or take layers off in the cold too.

[@lizcolton9832]

I agree , I fed three babies and never bought any specific feeding tops. Anything soft and stretchy works well and the double layer with nursing bra is comfortable and modest.

[@teresacalvoserrano8002]

I did the same with my four kids.. never bought breastfeeding clothes… I always wore a very stretchy vest under my regular clothes and that was it.. I did use breastfeeding bras though 😊

[@jaimeyeliza]

Totally agree, I did the same with my babies! Makes it easy to feed out and about too! X

[@barbhuber7502]

Yes, I agree on the breastfeeding bra. I just bought 5-6 inexpensive T-shirts for around the house you go through a ton of these,t hey are always in the wash. I had warm weather babies in Texas so the those worked for me. I am so excited for both of you!

[@carolpom6920]

I’m so impressed with what you have accomplished at 40/41 weeks. The mobile is adorable and Ollie well done on the threshold. Your woodworking skills are outstanding. I think it’s your attention to detail that inspires me the most. It’s all the little touches that elevate your space. Sending positive energy on your delivery! Much love ❤️

Baby boy will turn up when he is ready! Boys are lazier than girls. You look blooming, so chilled out and laid back don't stress about anything, babies pick up on that xx

I have watched this couple for a long time. They deserve every bit of the money that they have acquired. I will never meet them but I wish them well because they have worked blxxdy hard on their home and it is amazing what they have done and achieved through their own efforts. They seem lovely. You efarr6295 on the other hand dont seem lovely, just jealous and mean spirited with your unnecessary comment. It's also hypocritical when you are posting comments about 'strangers you will never know', good or bad.

[@joansmith8613]

I just checked to see if you had posted anything. What nice surprise to see your face today. So glad you are still posting. You look so healthy and happy. Good luck to you and Ollie. Everything is looking great! I loved the new clothes for the baby. Please keep us posted. 💚

[@trudiegordon6327]

Love the baby clothes and rompers are great. You probably have had him by now and can't wait to see you and baby.

[@mirandarileydesigns]

You have likely already thought of this, but each time I was pregnant, I bought a few pairs of new pretty pjs to wear post partum. I lived in these for the first couple of weeks, and it definitely sends the message that mum is resting! As for nursing, you will find that any chunky sweater will be very frustrating to nurse in. Breastfeeding positioning is an art and requires you to be free to properly position baby at the breast, without fussing with a sweater falling on babys face. Eventually you will be a pro and will be able to discreetly nurse in pretty much anything, but at first it makes sense to wear easily accessible and non-bulky clothing. Love, a mum of six ❤

[@emiliemercier8578]

For breastfeeding in the winter, I loved wearing a bf cami under a sweater. So you can just pull up the sweater and the cami is covering you belly so it's great when other people are around. I loved that I could wear my regular clothes when I figured out this hack!

[@lilacs_in_bloom]

Sending lots of LOVE!!! ❤❤❤ So excited about you and so so genuinely thrilled!

[@liramalea7041]

What a nice surprise, so lovely to get another video☺️❤ All the best for this exciting time, you are a beautiful family☺️

[@silverhairedqueen]

Brilliant idea to protect the carpet and mattress. You never know. Might want to protect the passenger seat of the car as well, if it's cloth. Good luck with your delivery. Wishing you joy!

[@Debbie-kt6ck]

Hi Laura, Ollie and Otto, thank you for your update, my son and daughter in law had a baby photo shoot, it was all their shoulder height, little Oliver between them, they both wore white it was printed in black and white, Oliver just had a nappy on but you couldn’t see it - and it was summer 😁House looks gorgeous. Shawls and pashminas are really handy to have when breastfeeding if you go out, all the best

Hi Laura, you are looking so well. My son was born just shy of two weeks after the 'due' date. I was told that I'd have to be induced but on the day I was meant to go into hospital everything happened naturally. He's just enjoying having some more time with his mummy before the Big Day! Good luck with everything - you are going to make wonderful parents.

[@jessicakreuz6488]

I was just thinking of you 😅 I cannot believe how well prepared you are. As a midwife I will bet your waters won’t break 😂 they only do that on new carpets that aren’t secured. Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe he will be come tomorrow… keeping my fingers crossed and wishing you a lovely birth ❤

[@BumblebeeBluejay]

I’m 31 weeks pregnant and you’re making me so excited for the arrival of my little boy too! Nhs have dated me forward as well and baby has been tracking around the 90th as well, but I won’t consider myself overdue till at least 2 weeks after my date, need to see this nursery!!!

[@bobbysmith855]

I wish you all the very best for your new baby. I know this may be a bit controversial, and I only mean to be kind and not annoying, but both my sisters have been midwives for 30 years, the one thing they both said was how they dreaded delivering babies post 41 weeks. They were often more difficult deliveries, and the babies were slower to respond and breath after birth. Please ignore me if your mind is made up, I didnt want to be nasty, I just wish for a beautiful healthy baby and great delivery for you. God bless.

[@BumblebeeBluejay]

Thank you for your comment and well wishes,it’s my third birth so I guess I’m old hand at this! Im also very well researched on the process of physiological birth, usually problems like that occur then there has been interventions such as inductions, sweeps, medical pain relief etc in the past 90 years we very much treat the woman’s body like a ticking time bomb waiting to fail at the end even though it’s spent 9-10 incredible months supporting the growth of a human, hospitals and medical teams so keen to get baby out when the arbitrary timer is ‘up’ which is sadly why c-sections are creeping up to 50% of all births 😢

[@bobbysmith855]

@@BumblebeeBluejay Yes, it's a hard balance, I've had 6 children, and if I didnt have a c sections with my 2nd one, we would both have died. For that I am so eternally grateful for the care. And although I agree that c sections are probably done far more than necessary, the heart behind is for a healthy baby at the end. The rate of still births over the last 100 years has plummeted due to good anti natal care, and sometimes early intervention. But I hope you didn't mind my comment. I truly didnt mean to upset you, and wish for you a beautiful healthy baby.

[@annaviola3392]

Thank you for this update. You’re looking so beautiful, so excited for you. My advice is don’t buy too much now. I had the prettiest tops and things I thought I’d wear postpartum and I literally wore leggings and sweats for months. You’ll have plenty of time to get clothing that works for you both when he’s here 😁 all the best! ❤

[@mybeloved1313]

Praying for a safe delivery for you and baby xx

[@Daniboo8991]

A tip on breastfeeding attire❤ I've nursed several and never bought actual clothing for breastfeeding. I highly recommend good nursing bras, nursing tanks and loose tops or tops with buttons to simply lift up (with a tank under to cover the tummy) or open easily. Things that you can continue to wear as regular clothing items. Good luck to you ❤

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Hi ! Surprised to see you posting again….didn’t think I’d see you for a bit ! Yes, my doctors in France also recommended walking everyday ….your little bundle of joy is most likely very cosy where he is lounging right now ! Best wishes for a speedy and easy birth sweet lady ❤

Well done with all you have done and accomplished especially in these few weeks. My daughter was almost 2 weeks overdue, but because she was a big baby ( 8 pounds and few ounces) they were afraid it wasn’t enough water for her so they induced me right away and 32 hours later she arrived healthy and perfect! I’ll pray for a beautiful and painless (as little as possible) delivery for you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰

So excited for you❤ Any shirt that lifts up over your breast is considered a nursing shirt. Baby doesn’t care. T-shirts were my favorite, you just pull it up when you’re ready to nurse❤️ the hardest part was not leaking through every shirt that I wore. Nursing pads help, my favorite was the brand that had a plastic backing so the milk doesn’t leak through. You’re going to do great. Nipples will be sore for the first month but push through and hang in there, it’s so worth it❤ sending prayers your way❤

So excited for you! For clothes I mainly do "one up one down" in winter, so bf bra or tank top with the clasps and any top, but this time i did get t shirts from h&m that have a lift up panel as with cardigans I have a little more privacy when out and about. Jojo have similar ones but i find mine very thick and boxy. If you find yourself babywearing a lot, I have likes having a sweater with zipped pannels so I dont have to be lifting clothes up when shes in the sling (but i didnt even think of feeding while wearing my first, but its unavoidable this time 😂). The flowey, elasticated at the bust dresses you love are great for feeding. Enjoy the snuggles, the tiny noises and the little smiles as he sleeps when he arrives ❤

The advice I was given, i terms of inducing the labour, was to walk - BUT to not over do it. You will want your energi and strength for birth. I was also told to do things that would make me feel happy, comfortable, distracted, loved to realease oxytocin and decrease stress. Cant wait to see you guys become parents
