- On our one year wedding anniversary we found out what you are...
It's really been the most magical few months and I am so excited to share this special news. Let the shopping begin!
Ps please give us all your advice!
Lots of love, Laura, Oliver, Otto + BABY BOY! x
Any name suggestions... ?
Archie xx
Tristan
Seth
I prefer classic names - William, Sebastian, Francis, etc. Samuel is perhaps my most favourite boy’s name. Whichever name you choose, it will be perfect for your little boy… and we’re all so excited to find out when the time comes! 💙 x
Keep it classic. No last-name first names :)
I’m due a little boy in October, we are calling him Reuben ❤️
Get the uppababy vista, can be adapted to two babies and looks lovely as single or double!lots of combinations depending on age gaps. Also has the largest storage basket and no bars where your feet step, meaning you don’t snag your feet! Had this for our boys who are 18 months apart. Congrats. Xx
Agree!
I also agree. I am on baby number 2 with this pram and it is brilliant. Really robust, easy to use and the basket is absolutely amazing.
Same here. Forward planned and got the uppababy vista. Loads of configurations and really nice but check whether it fits comfortably in your car cos it’s quite big and fairly heavy.
Yes this!!!
Uppababy vista. 6 years later and baby no.2 is just about to stop using it and it is still robust. We got the vista on the proviso we would get the 2nd seat if our first was still using it. As it turned out baby 2 arrived when first was 4 yrs old so we never got the 2nd seat. X
My 6 children are all grown up now, but I still foster and have a ton of grandchildren. The one thing I would buy if I were you, would be a co sleeper cot. Especially if you breast feed. It's such a great thing to pop baby into a cot right next to you in the middle of the night, without getting out of bed! Freezing cold night, shattered from lack of sleep, not to get out of bed after a feed is priceless! It's been a really lovely video to watch! Thank you for sharing this special time with us all. 😊
I think its nicer to have a pram where the baby is facing you and protected from the weather, warm and cosy.
Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations Laura!! Been following you for ages and so happy for you both! I’m a mama in London to a 2 yr old and waiting for our second ❤️ Best thing I can recommend is to sign up for NCT as first time parents, this will connect you with new time parents in your local area all sharing the best tips and tricks. Chances are some of them will have close relatives/friends with babies in your local area and be able to provide invaluable advice. The support in the early days is amazing. ❤️ Clothes for winter baby - The rule of thumb is baby needs to wear one more layer to you. So if you are wearing top and jumper, baby needs to wear vest, top and jumper. Love all the clothes you picked up already! Also add on M&S white multi pack of long sleeve vests and long sleeve suits (long arms and legs) for layering plus the days where you all stay in bed. ❤️ Keeping warm at home - blanket on top of baby in cot/bouncer , hot water bottles (warm pre heat of cot, not with baby in cot), and wearing baby to share body heat (plus so many other benefits). We have ergobaby 360 and has been amazing. Would highly recommend. ❤️ Pushchairs for 2 kids - my experience in a city (different to you of course) is unless you have a very close age gap chances are your first baby will want to be walking / on a buggy board attached to the solo pushchair. So don’t worry too much for purchasing double unless you are planning a v close age gap and/or see regular big non toddler friendly walks in your future. Potentially this is more true for you living closer to countryside with a dog. ❤️ Follow your instinct and enjoy! You are doing amazing x
So true re the pram. By the time your first is 2 they're well out of the baby pram! We had a little buggy board and it was fabulous and the next thing is the stroller for manoeuvrability!!
A little pocket of joy to start the weekend! You’re outnumbered now Laura 3-1 😄 So exciting 💙
My son lived in baby grows for the first 3 months . You will need muslins and snow suit , mittens and hats , jumpers and socks and blankets as essentials . I bought all my major items at NCT sales and then sold them on . Congratulations again xxx
This Video just made my day… I literally had a little tear in my eye.
Who cant have a good day when you see so much love between two (or should I better say three) people.
Thanks for sharing those special moments with us and bringing me at least joy and wholehearted moments
Lots of love to your little family and may everything keep being this positive
Babies live in pjs for the first 3 months and get the stroller that you clip the car seat into so it’s easy to transfer the sleeping baby back into the car
Awww how exciting, a lovely baby boy!!! Congratulations! Great vlog! Loved it. Xx 💙
Congratulations, I had chill bumps waiting on you too find out. I loved the way you revealed, first time I have seen it done this way. You guys are such a joy to watch in everything you do together. 🎉🙏🇺🇸💛
Congratulations on having a little boy! It's a lot to navigate but you'll find your way step by step. You are glowing! Your are going to make such lovely parents to your little boy. xxx
Such a lovely baby update. So happy for you both. You’ve chosen some beautiful baby clothes already. He’s going to look so cute! 🥰
You are just glowing, Laura! Enjoy this beautiful time of your lives!
Congratulations to you both, Laura you are looking absolutely blooming🤰🏻🍾🥂🎊 ❤
Such gorgeous baby goodies. We're awaiting the birth of our second grandchild, and you're giving us such broody vibes xo
😭😭😭 so happy for you both! I’m 30 weeks on Sunday with our little boy and it’s the most magical thing, feel like the luckiest person in the world 🥰
Congratulations both of you!! So happy to be a family....
You need to buy something that can have attachments
CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCH HAPPY, HAPPY NEWS! 💙 Boys are just dreamy. My sister has two children - a boy and girl. My nephew is the most loving, affectionate, funny, sweet-natured little soul in the world. You’re going to adore your son and he will be blessed to have you both as his parents, x
Congratulations again! Yay-January baby!🎉❤
It’s so lovely to see you both so happy and excited about baby boy, so sweet. You are looking fabulous, pregnancy clearly suits you 🥰🥰🥰
To see the pure joy in both of you is so amazing. I’m truly blessed to be sharing your journey with you. Sending love and blessings to you both.❤️❤️❤️
Loved watching these baby videos Laura - reminded so much of when I was pregnant with my darling boy (now 9!). Such a lovely and exciting time ❤️❤️
You will figure it ALL out!! Don't stress! I did the same thing but within 2 or 3 weeks, you know what works for you guys & baby. ❤❤
Bless you both, I'm so chuffed for you. Enjoy it all my lovelies xxxx
So lovely watching your excitement, bringing back memories of that same excitement and uncertainty as you become a new parent. My youngest is 21 today so it is a great day to remember this 😊
Just adorable......and very very exciting....and just to add to the joy....my first Grandson was born last Thursday...07/09 😊❤️...39 weeks ...***24 minutes in labor 😮.....*** 6lbs 8oz. Jasper....xx. I wish you as much excitement as possible because he's adorable...and baby brother for my Granddaughter who is 2years 3 months. 😊 xx
I had the baby jogger city select pram and it has the attachments to be a double buggy and the configuration of the seats was very versitile as both a double and a single. I loved it. The basket was also a good size. Also... Congratulations 🎉
Laura, you are glowing. What wonderful parents you will be. A very lucky little boy. Xxx
I have two boys two years apart and can highly recommend the uppa baby vista- it’s really sturdy but easy to manoeuvre, has a massive shopping basket and so many options for two little ones:)
Thanks for the update, we have had a similar journey and expecting also in early 2024. Its so important to spend some time enjoying it as a couple, baby shopping equally fun and overwhelming lol. Vinted has become my best friend for finding all the great brands of baby items to spoil our little one with, highly recommend x
Congratulations Laura and Ollie. You bith will make the most amazing parents. It is clear to see you already love that little boy so much.
Unsolicited advice coming...
A simplified rule of thumb when it comes to dressing baby: they usualy would wear an extra layer than yourself. They arent very good at regulating their temperatures yet, so when you take a layer off your self, take one off your baby. When you put a layer on, put one on your baby etc etc.
You are absolutely glowing 💞💞💞
When I was pregnant with my daughter, I dreamed I delivered puppies. I told my mother, that didn’t hurt at all!! Congratulations!!
Congratulations again! My advice is to shop second hand for clothes bundles. Babies go through the smaller sizes super fast and you’ll be gifted probably a lot of newborn and 0-3months clothes that your boy will never be able to wear. In the first few weeks my winter baby was mostly in bodysuit+sleep suit and cellular blanket on top. He only started sleeping in a sleeping bag around 2 months old because he really disliked them beforehand and wanted to sleep on either me or his dad.
Second trimester is the best ! 🎉❤ congratulations again
I'm crying here😭. Congrats guys.🎉
Ah, you look wonderful. Thank you for sharing your joy, milestones with us.
Haven’t reached the baby gender reveal yet. But wanted to wish you the biggest congratulations. Also just had the thought how amazing is it that one day when your little one is older they could watch this and see the joy and excitement of his/ her arrival in the world. No too people deserve this more. I wish you all the happiness and joy that this magical time in your lives can be.
Welcome to the boy club and being your babies first true love 💙🤩
Congratulations on your pregnancy Laura! Baby boy for you to look forward to arriving. Love and blessings from Jilly & Madge in West Devon, England. xxx
Congratulations 💙 so happy for you both x
I’m very happy for you both, congratulations.
Congratulations on your son! Your dream came true! Happy times ahead🩵
Congratulations on your little sweetheart! 💙💙💙
I knew you we’re having a boy! So exciting. Enjoy the shopping and buy as much cute stuff as you want. People will get you many practical things, so buy what you like.
You are so sweet, you both are and I am so happy for you. You really will make wonderful parents.
I’m so happy for you!!! Watching the joy and glee in you and the Mr.’s faces even before you saw the blue…😭🥰 you’re charming and I wish nothing but the best for your sweet little family. ❤
Everything about this video was cute, your both so happy and excited. Now bibs, I had a massive amount of them, they saved me changing both my children’s clothes multiple times a day, a total godsend 😊
Congratulations! Re the buggy, buy one that can convert. We did - and it turned out to be a great idea as ours are 15 months apart. We used our travel system until our #2 was 3.5! Toddlers can get tired when out and about. We went for the icandy peach. It had great manouverability, the kids were 'stacked'. we ended up with #1 on a buggy board at the back while #2 was in the seat. When we were done with it, we passed it on to our friends for their twins, and they got another 4 years out of it before passing it on again.
Hello there! It is a little bit daunting when one goes baby shopping for the first time. I had my boys a long time ago back in the 80’s and products and merchandise have really moved on since then! I think it’s important to remember babies grow very quickly in their first year and I concentrated on basics such as vests, babygrows and simple garments which were easy to put on baby and comfortable. It’s nice to have a few special outfits but it’s really not worth paying a small fortune on babies clothes. Equipment such as furniture and prams are best considered carefully before investing in and asking yourselves questions such as how easy are they to transport in the car,are they multi-functional and easy to push around? One item I can truly recommend is a baby carrier. I used mine so much in the first 3 months and my boys loved them as they feel comforted by being so close to you plus you are able to wear them indoors and outdoors and be hands free! Anyway, it’s such an exciting time for you both and I’m delighted you’re feeling better and glowing! 💙🧸🎉
So very happy for you both, just smiled the whole way through the video ❤x
Isn’t it crazy to think your little boy will be watching these videos in 10+ years time! How lovely for him to have these vlogs to watch in the future and witness you both full of joy and excitement at his arrival! I wish I could watch my parents doing the same for me xx
I’m sooo excited for you both , I have been following you for about 2 years . I love your energy and excitement for life x I too has a miscarriage after two beautiful children but it still rocked my world 😢 I like you went on to have a beautiful daughter, I feel soo blessed she is now 26 soo that means I’m nearly 60 . I still have a wobbly time around the day that I lost the baby but I embrace it with a special day because my beautiful daughter was meant to be . I look forward to seeing your progress and the birth of your beautiful boy xxxx
You both appear sooo happy and excited for the little boy. Boys are the best people for Moms, cause they replantish love back to Moms in the future days always. Plus Dad can show them the way. Once again Congratulations on finding out the sex.
Congratulations!!! So happy for you! My nephew who is also my Godson is the sweetest thing in this life and when his friends come over for pizza and PlayStation, I feel like the coolest aunt.
Lovely to see all the darling baby clothes!
And congratulations ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 look at you and your motherly instincts already ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m in the US, all my kids ( for my grandkids) bought a stroller/car seat combo. Here they run from about 150$ up to 800$ ish. The most expensive isn’t necessarily the best either. It’s all they really needed at first…probably for the first 6 months then they were able to determine what they needed from there for a better stroller. We bought a BOB revolution which is a small jogging stroller for the grandkids when they were here. We really loved it because it goes over grass like at a park, is great for walking and is easy to maneuver in stores. My one advice about clothes is look for one piece things that snap up the front, they hate to have things pulled over their head. We are in Texas so we didn’t need snowsuits and you won’t either until they are walking….get a warmer one piece thing with separate legs so that you can get him in a car seat. Fleece items were great for us. You’ll figure out what works for you. Congratulations! Boys are fun, I had 3 daughters but have 3 grandsons.
So many lovely clothes for babies to choose. They grow out of them so quickly in the first year though. Love the bits you’ve bought! X
Hello Laura
Glad to see you both excited about bambino
The baby clothes are so cute
Love to you both
Andrew 💜💐xx
So happy for you both Laura & Ollie, lovely video seeing you both so excited for your new life adventure. Choosing big items is so overwhelming, especially now when theres so much choice ! When i had my winter baby, we bought a traditional Silver cross pram, it was so lovely for long local walks, baby all snug inside, but also so nice in the summer as baby could stretch out and have a comfortable sleep in the day time, and you can buy them in great condition second hand, we bought a buggy too for the car & train, its all a learning curve, especially with your first baby, i'm sure you will both be brilliant parents xxx
Congratulations!!! In relation to dressing baby boy, I found it easier to put mine in poppered baby grows. I know lots of people say zips but I actually found these harder to get his legs into as most zipped ones were diagonal if that makes sense.
Welcome to the baby boy club (mines 4 months currently). So excited for you both.
Thanks for sharing your happiness! So fun.
Congratulations to you both 👶🍼💙
Congrats 🎉 welcome to Babyland ❤
Congratulations 🎉🎉 you will and hubby all the best Exciting time ...sleep as much as you can ❤
Soo excited 4 u. Have lots of children they'll have the best parents ❤😊😊
Congratulations Laura and Ollie! When I was pregnant with my first we went to Lamaze classes and met other pregnant couples, some of whom I already knew. After my son was born, I joined a playgroup of lots of other moms with their babies. It was great to have time once a week to chat about what we were all going through and it gave my son a chance to play with others his age. We took turns meeting at each others homes. I highly recommend you do something similar. Also, I read a lot about pregnancy and babies, which helped tremendously.❤. Your mother can answer a lot of your questions, I’m sure. Consider buying a used Pram. You need a good car seat right from the start.😊
Congratulations on your wonderful news .💙
In Canada you can get prams with detachable parts so you buy one that you can add for two kids. When kids get tired of walking they could be in a pram until around 4
Wonderful, so exciting ❤❤❤
Congratulations on baby boy.✨✨ Boys are so loving, gentle and affectionate.
So excited for you.
Highly recommend getting baby grows with zips for newborns. Single pram also ✨✨Mamas and papas are good for guidance on what you might need for basics. Xxx
Dreams are so powerful!!
Congratulations on your baby boy!
Congratulations! Straight to suggestions as a mom of two. Babybjörn bouncer is a lifesaver. If you want to carry a child then Ergobaby or Tula ones are good for hips. And for prams Bugaboo Donkey Duo is really clever and worth the investment. Ergobaby swaddler was also really good. Or alternative option ( if baby likes hands up) is Love to dream Swaddle Up.
Edit: PoP clothes are very good and sturdy, we have some second hand ones and we can pass them on to a 4th child
I just had my baby boy a month ago and watched your videos throughout my whole pregnancy and now through postpartum when I have a bit of a break. After renovating a house together, parenting is going to be a breeze for y'all lol! You'll be the best parents. SO happy for you and praying for smooth sailing and a boring and uneventful pregnancy and delivery for you!! (Also I totally guessed boy for you as well, there must be something int the air haha) - edited to add something about the stroller. a lot of brands have the ability to go from a single to a double, I believe uppababy, cybex, egg, mockingbird, bugaboo all do them!
Daddy decides the gender of bub. My guess is temperature has a lot to do with the decision making process. So what the junk is kept in and season etc may contribute.
The rumbly feelings from baby moving are something you never forget for the rest of your life. My son is 23 and I can still imagine what that feels like haha. I know you're soaking in every moment. 🥰🥰
Me too! When I was pregnant with my daughter (my first) I panicked and went to the hospital and they told me it was the baby moving! I felt a right idiot lol. I was so pleased though. I loved feeling my baby move. My second (a boy) was a real wriggler xxx
Congratulations!!💙💙 I guessed right on insta! Most prams now you can add extra bassinets/seats for more children 🙌🏻 A lot of places aren’t accessible for prams so I wouldn’t go for the widest pram
40:28 So, so adorable, love it!! 💖
So happy for you, this video warmed my heart :) About the prams, the Gazelle model from Cybex, that can be a single buggy that later becomes a double one and isn't massive, can be a good option :) xx
So happy for you…such a wonderful time to come….I got the I candy lime and I love it. Narrow and so smooth to push…does the work for you. Had a buggy board in built also
Loved this video 🩵 congratulations!
The only advice i will give is go to a supermarket of your choice and buy a ton of basic sleepsuits in newborn (which will still be too big 😂) they have poonamis and projectile vomit episodes several times a day 🫣 love you guys and love that you googled hiw to dress a baby in winter you will be amazing parents! Lots of love xx
so nice to see you both enjoying yourself, I know you will be practical but it is good to indulge.
I know you will have lots of people who will give you advice. I had 5 kids and the thing you will need the most of is sleepers, lots of them and of course diapers. There will be times when you have to change his clothes 3 times just in the morning. Spit up and diaper blowouts are in your future which will require multiple changes throughout the day. Lots of booties and get several of the same kind and color. I say this because you will lose booties in the laundry. Don't ask me how it happens but it does. I would do plenty of sleepers, booties, swaddling, receiving blankets, something to put him in during cold weather. Now if you are always going to warm your car before you go somewhere with him and do the same when you leave wherever you are going, then don't go for anything too heavy unless you are going to be outdoors with him a lot. They can get overly warm. If they are wearing something warm and you have like a substantial baby blanket to put on top of him when you leave the car you will be fine. Have some cute outfits you both like for when you will be around friends and family for holidays and that sort of thing. I used to get a lot of things on Etsy because you can have it personalized with the child's name or initials if you want. Lots of cute options out there. But don't over buy the cute stuff or really anything. You will be amazed how fast they grow. I can't tell you how many outfits never got worn and still had tags on them. There are so many cute things out there it is easy to over buy. Don't cheap out on the pram (we call it strollers). I don't know if you have them over there but in the US they have strollers that you can just place the car seat into the stroller system. This is great because it is inevitable the baby will fall asleep in the car on the way to wherever you are going. The last thing you want to do is wake him up to put him in a stroller. I would recommend those wraps you can buy that cuddles the baby next to you. Allows you to have free hands to do other things and they really enjoy being next to you. I am so happy for you. Watched your channel for ages. You should do like an Amazon wish list because I can't be the only one who would love to send you something you want or need for the little one. Take care and again, so, so happy for you.
Congratulations! 👶 💙
I had a convertible, top and bottom stroller, with my first, and ended up hating it because it was so heavy to get in and out of the car. We ended up using our travel stroller exclusively once my son was large enough. Joolz Aer for reference the one hand open and close is the best. So I recommend getting a nice, sturdy travel stroller and then getting a double stroller once you know the age gap between the two children. We got a side by side because my toddler wasn’t going to like being separated from his sister. We still use the single stroller a lot and either our toddler walks or baby is in the carrier. So it is nice to always have both strollers.
Congratulations! Thank you in sharing such a joyous moment. I’m not one to give advice but I recommend as tempting as new born clothes are to invest in more 6-1 year sizing, they seem to grow overnight😂 As our first was a January baby I loved how convenient a winter zip up sack type suit was for changing accessibility. Lots of changing to be done so zippers and snaps especially for bottom pieces will be handy. As for strollers our oldest didn’t want to get into a stroller by the time our second one joined us. I would recommend a stroller that has a rear standing platform and for family trips we had a lightweight foldable umbrella stroller for when the eldest needs a sit down. All the best❤
So excited for you 😊
Congratulations💙! The baby dreams are WILD that they can be so spot on! I also dreamt about my daughter before she was announced! Oh and advice on the pram/strollers: We are also planning on a second child. Definitely go with a pram/stroller that can be converted into a double, that you like and fits your lifestyle!
We ended up going with the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono (with the side basket) and we love it as our everyday! But I will say that it isn’t our favorite for air travel. We stick to an umbrella stroller/ foldable pram for flights and travel abroad.
The 3 in one prams are great. The car seat sits on the frame the baby pram, then the buggy for bigger baby all go on the same frame. I had one were all the covers, and even the cover on the hood came off, so u can wash them and used it for 3 children, then sold it because it was still in great condition . Just take your time in picking a pram the sales people will go through everything and show u how to do everything and, off course, walk around the store pushing it. I also, at the time, got a small 3 wheel buggy because they are great for going walking on the beach , going to open farms and woods, basically rough ground. The weels are just fantastic fantastic for that.
Great to see you both so excited 😊.
O there's two and half years between all my 3 Chrildren so the 3 wheeler came in handy but then again we didn't often have to use the two together because they just walked 😊.
My midwife on my first child gave me great advice, don't listen to others stories because every pregnancy and birth is different just read everything, recommend the book, Great Ormond Street , which covers pregnancy, birth, and everything that comes after. Best book, put it this way after reading it when I was in the laber room I knew what everything was for its full of great information.
Congratulation! It‘s so nice to hear it‘s a baby boy! 😍 greetings from cologne Andy
It's so exciting to see how excited you are. Don't over think it. Get the most comfortable for you and if you have a second baby soon you can always sell and buy what you need for that stage. You can also find second hand. Baby things are expensive and you only use them for a very short time.
Congratulations, you will be one flower (female) amongst boys..Olie, Otto, and Oscar.... Or Laura & Liam/Luca/Luke/Leonard
Hi clicked as quickly as I could!!! Ooh John Lewis in London. That's where I did my baby shopping, pram, cot, everything. Looong time ago, I remember pram cost £99 which was considered really expensive back then!!
Congratulations Laura nad Ollie! So happpy for you guys ❤
I was just as lost with my first little one as you guys are now.
I would recommened watching baby videos from Fleure DeForce, Emily Norris and Kate Murnane, they helped me a lot
My recommendations:
-Pram: we chose Silver Cross Wave Double over Uppababy Vista bc it had option with bassinet on top and toddler seat on bottom. I didn't want my newborn to be so close to the ground and far away from me.
-Car seat: Cybex Cloud Z2 (10/10)
-Clothes: M&S pure cotton bodysuits (10/10), Purebaby and Mori (I tried to avoid any fast fashion brands that use nasty chemicals in their clothing)
-Gro egg room thermometer
Such a sweet video!
Congratulations Laura! I can't explain how happy I am for you both! Those pregnancy chats you're wanting (and with good reason) with midwives are something that most women feel the lack of. Speaking as a Doula myself, I would absolutely recommend seeking out a local Doula to help support you through your first birth. I'm based in London/Essex but I am part of a large Doula network so if you do need help looking for someone I'd be happy to help. Sending my love and wishing you an empowering birth 💜
Hello, do you have a website as I am also based in Essex and would love a Doula when then time comes ☺️ x
Such a lovely video and so nice to see you both so excited about your impending little boy. I have to say you are looking stunning! Your skin and hair and eyes are just glowing. They say a girl baby steals her mums beauty so I knew you were having a boy before you told us, although showing the clothing in the beginning was a bit of a hint too😊.
Congratulations laura🎉🎉
