So I wrote what I put in my hospital bag when I had G. While I have forgotten everything (again) I thought this time, I would focus on the essentials. The things you could grab in five minutes if you had to. The non-negotiables. So here is my top five. 1. Baby wipes. I would … [Read more…]
If I’d been the Duchess of Cambridge, hours after giving birth…..
