Of Strollers and Pushchairs

We visited the babyfair at Takashimaya two weeks ago, but I have not bought anything yet for Baby Coco. :(  You see, I'm a first time mommy-to-be and I would not know which products are essential to buy for the baby.

I was contemplating on buying the Avent sterilizer and feeding bottles package worth S$199.00. Price before was S$ 327.60. Come to think of it, it's a very good deal! But in the end, I realized it was too early (@25 weeks then) for me to buy all these things. I just hope there are more baby fairs to come! If not, hubby would have to buy all these things by himself.

Meanwhile, we will just canvass strollers and bassinets. Here are some of the items we like.

    We're 26 weeks!

    Yesterday, was my hubby's birthday. It was so much sweeter to celebrate special occasions, with our baby Coco inside my tummy. Ohhh I have decided to call her (yes, it's a girl!) Baby Coco as a nickname. Isn't it pretty?

    Today marks my 26th week, 14 weeks to go! How fast time flies!

    I can definitely feel her moving almost every 3-4 hours. Her constant movements, makes me gassy, but at least I know that she is ok.

    As I was going through the baby center checklist, I realized there are so many things I want to do before I give birth.

    1. Pre-natal massage
    2. Staycation
    3. Pelvic Floor Exercises
    4. Learn how to cook Pregnancy food for breastfeeding
    5. Maternity shoot c/o hubby
    6. Gleneagles Maternity Tour
    7. Shopping for Baby Coco
    8. Teeth Cleaning
    9. Practice breathing techniques
    10. Baby Shower!

    So many things to do, so little time! I wish I have more energy!
