Top row: My last bump pic taken whilst pregnant with baby Blue on my due date, read my final pregnancy update here; Finally setting up the Snuzpod whilst awaiting baby Blue's arrival; The Boys & Girls sherbert star leggings we were sent as a gift for baby Blue, featured in my first A Series of Awesome Things post.
Middle row: A fab little lightbox I found in New Look, we keep it on top of Archie's toy kitchen; The first time Mr J and I met our beautiful new arrival, Jesse Blue! Here's my home to hypno to hospital birth story; Another one of our first shots of baby Blue, taken the day after his birth in the hospital.
Bottom row: Our Cosatto Giggle 2 travel system in fox tale print; My gorgeous niece Caitlin meeting Blue for the first time; A post-partum selfie showing that it takes time for our bodies to resume normality, someone decided to pat my tummy and make a comment 5 days after I'd given birth!
So, I've somehow skipped July's insta-post but I have the best excuse ever, I was kind of busy popping out a baby but I'm getting back on track now and here's a beautiful August in Instagram shots. This month was kind of dominated by baby Blue as it was his first month outside of my tummy and it's been a complete whirlwind of first meetings and sleep deprivation; but of course, it's been amazing and these are a series of photos I won't be forgetting in a hurry.
Top row: My boys together, I can't even express how excited I am to see them grow up together and how proud I am of them both; Baby Blue absolutely loving his Poco Baby Hammock; First time using my Medela swing breast pump—just a practice, we haven't given B a bottle yet.
Middle row: The end of my pregnancy series (of which I still need to blog about!), at 41 weeks my little boy had already arrived; My Dad holding baby Blue; a shot of our new boy turning two weeks old!
Bottom row: Holding hands with Blue when he was just a week old; The first (adorable) dinosaur outfit I purchased for little man (and it's still baggy on him at a month old!), featured in my 5 Little Things post; Me holding my beautiful Blue.

Dave @ Dad's Turn says..
Nice pics. Really like the one with your two sons next to each other. So cute! Some great clothes as well which is tough as a lot of things out there tend to be fairly stereotypical.
#MarvMondays
I can't believe someone patted your stomach 5 days after - I'd have been furious! I was irritated enough when people did it when I was pregnant. That dinosaur outfit is super cute! #marvmondays
Such gorgeous photos, Baby Blue is gorgeous and despite having a 14 week old at home it makes me broody for a squishy newborn. Hope you're enjoying adjusting to being a family of four. xx
Oh gosh, what beautiful photos! I'm rubbish at taking photos, but these are just stunning. You can read such a story from each one! I really must get better at taking photos. I LOVE the one at 41 weeks with baby in your arms - that's just too gorgeous! #MarvMondays
some lovely snaps here to look back over! #marvmondays

Ahhh I love seen a round up in photos, sooo cute :) Love the top left of them both together, adorable. Thanks for hosting! #marvmondays
These are lovely. I especially love the 40 weeks and then 41 weeks photos. I always think those progression photos of pregnancy will be so great to look back at but I wasn't organised enough to do anything like that either pregnancy!
