BCG vaccination

This morning Emilia had her first vaccination (BCG - against tubercolosis) and she was a trouper. We left the house very early to allow all the necessary time to walk to the baby clinic. We got there fifteen minutes before our appointment and I am glad we did because the clinic was still rather empty at that time and we didn't have to wait at all; after we were done, the waiting room got super busy with mums and little babies all waiting for the vaccination. 

Emilia was smiling all the time until the needle went in! Of course I expected her to cry but thankfully it wasn't too bad and after a nice feed she went back to smiling. And we even made friends! Bernie, our lovely health visitor, introduced us to a nice German mum and her little boy who live very close to us. We chatted for a bit and will meet up for a coffee soon. 

When we got home I put Emilia on the swing and took a short video (I know how much you all love the videos!) to show you how calm she was, despite the vaccination.

In the afternoon we went out again for a short stroll. It was a nice Autumn day and I loved walking around the area with my little girl. I love the colours these days and the crisp air.

And as a reward for behaving so well all day Emilia found a package waiting for her at home. The big package was from our wonderful friends Jen and Trent and it was full of cool items: an owl pillow, month markers, snack cups, a blanket, a shawl bib, a pink sleep sack, green ballet slippers, a floral top, leggings and romper, brown leather shoes, I love daddy onesie and *Where the wild things are* book. Have a look.

Emilia is a very lucky little girl. She keeps receiving gifts! Every time a package enters our flat we get super excited and are very grateful. Last week she got a lovely package from our good friends Annalisa and Jacques. The package was from moi moi. Moi Moi has a very sweet selection of gift sets, I am sure I myself will use the site in the future.

The gift set was very nicely wrapped with a wonderful cream and pink ribbon and inside we found a Petit-Bateau crossover white and pink bodysuit, a towelling plum sleepsuit, and Trousselier iconic Angel Bunny soft toy in pink. All 3 items were presented in a Trousselier little suitcase, already for life's adventure! Emilia will take her first trip to Italy in December, we will make sure to use this cute little suitcase! Annalisa and Jacques, if you are reading this: thanks so much!

A couple of days ago we received another package from our good friends Anya and Christian. I love receiving packages (who doesn't??!) and I love receiving packages from Anya. Her gifts are always so nicely packaged, it's an absolute pleasure to open them up! 

Remember when she sent me the pink package? This time the colour theme was purple. Inside the little packet there were lots of treats for mama Vale, different kinds of teas and chocolate all in purple and lilac packaging, and two lovely linens for Emilia. The linens are from a modern and beautiful Danish brand, Sebra. I discovered this brand only a couple of months ago; I absolutely love their cribs, too bad I had already ordered the Stokke before I found out about this brand!

Mums out there, if you don't know Sebra, check it out! There are so many cool things for your little ones.

A Pink Package From Denmark

Today Baby O and I got a lovely package from Denmark full of pink sweet things. The gifts come from my very good friend and former flat mate, Anya. I got so excited when I saw the box and so did Baby O who started kicking harder than usual. I think she can sense when I am happy and then she behaves accordingly :) 

All the goodies were packed in a nice pink, white and green bag and inside it was an explosion of pinkness! Bright pink doilies, pink heart balloons, pink and yellow confetti strips, polka dots napkins and pink and purple cards. Everything you need to throw a nice, little party! In the package Anya also included some sweets for mummy-to-be. I am particularly looking forward to the liquorice and coconut candy! She knows what mummy likes. 

Thanks very much my friend, this was such a lovely surprise!
