Baby Talk

It’s my 31st week of pregnancy. Acoording to pregnancy books,Andre is now a bit over 3 pounds. No wonder i’m sporting this penguin walk nowadays. (hahaha!)I can still sleep though not as soundly as before. Now i have to get up quite a lot of times to pee. Our prenatal check up last Monday was good. OB was pleased that I didn’t gain any weight the past 2 weeks. She was quite worried for my last check up revealed that i gain a whopping 10 lbs in just a span of 1 month. I think I overindulge thinking that for the past 5 months total weight gain was just 12 lbs. Good thing that eventhough there was a rapid weight gain, blood sugar and blood pressure was normal. So for the past 2 weeks i cut down on carbs. I think it worked well for I didn’t gain a pound.

I’ve included photos of Andre’s stuff here because i wanted to share the joys of buying things for the baby. I might say that this is one of the things we enjoyed most during the pregnancy.

We started to canvass November last year. Armed with our list arranged by priorities, we checked out shops selling baby things. No, we didn’t buy anything then. Just went around and searched for good buys. December was the “swelduhan” in our paluwagan. We used that as our funds to buy Andre’s things. Good thing that we joined paluwagan, there were funds ready at our disposal when we needed it.

Our first buys were the tie side shirts and onesies from Bel-air. We found this through my e-group. I loved this store! They sell quality baby clothes at an affordable price. During our first visit we were able to buy burp clothes, bibs, onesies, frogsuits,bonnets,and mittens. We were really surprised that Carter’s onesies cost only 70-100 bucks. Way cheaper than other baby stores we’ve visited. Last month we went back to buy receiving blankets and towels. Oh i would love to drop by there again…but maybe not. I might have those panic buying attacks again. hahaha!

We were also able to buy Baby 1st postable 3-in-1 bassinet, diaper changer and playpen. It comes with night light, mobile with rotating toys, mattress with vibration, and music. We waited for it to go on sale that’s why we bought it at 27% off.

The Avent bottles and breastpump are quite pricey here so we asked SIL to buy those in the US. That way we can get it for half the price. SIL informed Morn1ng last week that she was able to buy already. Yipeeeee! Many thanks ate Vivz!

There are still some things we haven’t bought. We’re not hurrying for we still have 2 months to go. Besides, someone might organize a surprise shower party. *wink* *wink* (Pasensha na assuming mom2b po ako) :p
