Shorter List

Finally got our baby needs trimmed down. My friends are setting up for the baby shower and they’ve asked us for our wish list. 

Here it is.  That’s mostly what we think we would still need.

Bath Tub & Bathing Accessories
Nursery Bag (same ke den!)
Feeding Bottle Keeper/Holder
Digital Thermometer
Pigeon Feeding Bottles (hehehe!)
Crib Comforter (28*41)
Baby Toys :)
Pillow & Bolster
Grooming Accessories
Boppy Nursing Pillow
Baby Monitor

We appreciate all your wonderful gifts for our baby! ;)

House Interior

Here's the proposed interior for our house. The design has
clean lines, the space is maximized, I love the lightings
and the couch but we think it's not for us. Maybe for young
adults or bachelors.

We've asked the designer to create a new proposal for us.
One that is less difficult to maintain, child-friendly
and homey. One that would suit a starting busy family.

Any design ideas?

Cramps

From nausea to spotting now cramps :(       Pregnancy Blues...

Been waking up in the middle of the night because I can’t move my legs.Even if I try to relax and stretch it the pain won't go away. I usually end up waking Brian up so he can massage my legs
and feet. The pain would die down and I can go back to dreamland.

Guess this is because I've been getting heavy… added weight from too much food intake and baby's growing. The cold weather doesn't help too.

Some articles & blogs I've read recommend to eat bananas which are good for muscle contraction, drink plenty of water and get some exercise. I'll do just that and hopefully I won't be having any leg cramps during my pregnancy.

BOOM BOOM POW

Just recently got the new album of the Black Eyed Peas. The Deluxe version has 2 CDs on it which is really cool. It includes their latest hit Boom Boom Pow and 1 Filipino song – Mare.

Although we're not music experts we can say that the songs here are nothing like those in their previous albums. I think it's more engineered which reflects
the group's aim to welcome the new era in music and mark THE END of the old generation in music - LPs, cassettes, etc.

BEP's a great group. We enjoyed their concert here and hope that they get to do another one soon.

Newborn Essentials

I’m on my 28th week… another 10 weeks more and we’ll finally meet our little one. In preparation, we’ve been busy getting stuff. It’s a bit OA that at this early stage we’re already able to get most of the things ready but hey can’t blame us it’s our first born!

For those who are also expecting parents, here’s a list of the basic necessities your baby will need.
