Like everyone else, I was voyeuristically awaiting the birth announcement of Meghan and Harry’s royal baby last week — and how sweet!
Meanwhile, I feel as though everyone is giving birth right now and I’m sitting here, swelling larger and larger. Despite the fact that I was convinced my son would arrive early, I’ve now decided I must resign myself to the fact that I’ll be waiting until the end of the month for baby boy to arrive on the date of his scheduled c-section.
At any rate, Archie’s arrival left me inspired to source gifts, clothing, and other baby gear finds fit for a royal baby:
LA STUPENDERIA ONE-PIECE (ON SALE!) OR THIS FOR A GIRL (ALSO ON MAJOR SALE!)
