Check List

First thing I did when I ordered my baby was write a check list of everything I thought I needed. It was really hard as I wasn't sure what I needed. I looked on some baby sites but some of it doesn't apply as shes a reborn baby, not a liveable baby. I spilt it in to Need & Extras, as some thing were more important for me than others.

Need
  • Vests
  • Baby grows
  • Outfits
  • Mittens
  • Hats
  • Booties
  • Magnetic Dummies
  • Dummy Clips
  • Bottle
  • Nappies
  • Water Wipes
  • Blanket

Extras
  • Pram
  • Car Seat
  • Baby Changing Bag
  • Moses Basket
  • Baby Bouncer
  • Nursing Pillow
  • Milk
  • Teddies/Toys
  • Baby Headbands

I decided not to get my baby a Moses basket as I am struggling for space in my room, Plus the main time I know when I will want a cuddle or some company is at bedtime so I would rather her in my bed with me. So I got a nursing pillow for her to sleep in.

Me, Myself & I

My name is Jodie and I am reborn pregnant with a little girl. She is due any day and I am super excited about her coming. I have got a reborn girl already but I just can't seem to bond with her anymore so when I saw this little one I fell in love straight away and just had to have her. So for the last 4 weeks I have been preparing for her arrival. 



I am doing things a little differently to last time as when I had my other baby I didn't have a lot of money and I was in a really bad place where I never went out so I just stayed at home with her, so all she needed was clothes. This time I have a little bit of extra cash so she is getting spoilt. I am also going out more and I want to take her out with me although it is going to be hard as I have quiet bad anxiety. Things have been more controlled lately so I'm hoping it won't be too hard.

So a little bit about me, I am nearly 25 years old and the one thing I have always wanted in my life is a nice home with a little family. I've wanted children since I was a very little girl but things in my life have changed quiet a lot in the last 3 years and now I'm not so sure this is going to happen for me. I suffer with depression to the point I have tried to take my own life and I couldn't live on my own. My mum is my rock and helps me through everyday. So may people told me to get a dog, it would help get me out someone loving and dependent on you to get up for. But we have never been allowed pets in our house and I feel I would neglect the poor thing. So I decided to get myself a reborn baby as my therapy. 

I decided to start my blog back up to share my journey and thoughts. With not only my depression and anxiety but with my new baby girl when she gets here.
