Yes, it's our fifth baby....



Aaah, Modern Country tunic, I love you. Can you see the fabric this gorgeous frock is made from? It's a grey Union Jack. I know, I know...L:O:V:E, right? It's not maternity wear but because it's all floaty, it just slips right over my baby tummy.


Tunic: Traffic People, Jeans: Crave Maternity, Boots: Clarks, Belt: Thrifted, Sunglasses: Boots 

This baby sugarplum is the fifth little addition to our family. 

Guy and I always hoped to be able to have five kiddiewinks. I can remember sitting on the lawn with him in my parents' garden when I was seventeen, talking about what we would name our five children. And now, here we are....

Makes me a wee bit tearful reminiscing.

I have sunk to new depths of romantic nostalgia and am listening to Unchained Melody as I write this. On repeat. Double dang those hormones.

  3. I myself am a child of five, and I can tell you, that's one blessed baby, Sarah. Great parents, and since the apples never fall far from the tree, I'm sure your little ones are awesome siblings. You've got lots of little helpers too. So happy for you. And such a stylish Mum ;)

  8. You look so beautiful, Sarah! That top looks so cute with those jeans. I'd say pregnancy agrees with you. If this is your last baby, does it make you feel sad to think about that? That's how I was the last time around...that's what I cried about.

  44. My first thought was OH MY GOD SHE CUT THE DRESS!! But I see it's another Traffic People number all slinky and rock n'roll like!!

  49. Ah Sarah! You are glowing and radiant. Pregnancy agrees with you. I would have liked to have had a whole soccer team myself, but it wasn't to be. However, God did give us three beautiful children and I get to teach as many other precious children as I like. I am blessed. I wish you much joy and every blessing x x

  53. Dear Sarah, This has to be one of my favourite Modern Country Style posts. You look really lovely; the dress is stunning; and Unchianed Melody is one of my all-time favourites - it was my mother's favourite song too! So - a wonderful nostalgia trip for me as well! And all that remeniscing (sp?)about choosing your five children's names in the garden with Guy; here you are, a really grown up Mummy yourself with number five "growing" beautifully! Congratulations! - Angela
