I spent the majority of the day feeling distraught that I could no longer use the words ‘he is X months old’. One is a hallmark, and it’s incredible how much I still remember about the pregnancy and carrying Sebastian. I loved every single moment.

So on that note…I’m going to tell you how I came up with the name ‘Sebastian’. I’m aware that for those that already know me, you think I’m slightly nuts anyway; and this only concludes your thoughts. I warn you.

Upon finding out I was pregnant with our second little boy (soon to be Sebastian) we decided to make the move from a flat to a house so that we could have more room. Elijah, my eldest who is now 4 years old was super excited about this.

I was just as excited about the idea of designing the house as I was about being pregnant in all honesty.

I wanted to design all the curtains in the house and to make these a key feature in our rooms. Upon designing Eli’s bedroom I decided to applique his name into them. Why not have a pair of curtains named after you? People have stars named after them all the time?!

So I had ‘Eli’ appliqued into the curtains and used these colours as the palette for his room.

So…knowing that I was having another boy, I couldn’t have one with a pair of personalised curtains and not the other! This sent me into a state of panic as I didn’t have curtains ready for my unborn child!

-5 months away from giving birth…the foetus still has feelings right?!

So…I found a name with three syllables to match Eli’s curtains; ‘Seb’. So, my little Seb, that’s how Mumma choose your name; over deliberation of a pair of curtains.

Don’t they look great though?! Super happy with them!
