A girls' weekend in Ireland: shopping in Belfast

We three girls left Flynn with Jonathon again, timing our trip to accommodate feed and sleep cycles, and headed out to Belfast for a spot of shopping.

This time we were prepared for Margaux's potential grumpiness at being in the pram: we dressed her in Flynn's snowsuit (her little legs were freezing at the lights festival... they had been in a foot muff in the pram so we didn't think padded leggings were needed) and brought the front pack.

This time our planning paid off: it wasn't long before Bron was pushing a pram filled with bags and I was carting Margaux around in the front pack! You may be wondering why we don't start with the front pack and not worry about the pram... my back is still a bit delicate, so pushing a pram is far better for me than carrying almost 9kg on my person.



We went to two clothes shops (one that had a section dedicated to baby clothes and another that was entirely for babies) and I managed to steel myself from buying an entire wardrobe for Margaux. I tell you, it was hard!!
