Carefree- feeling ko nga para akong nasa Pinas pag nasa Pilipino store ako :D Kung gusto mo pwede ko pa package sayo lahat ng gusto mong kainin kawawa ka naman kasi :) Yong adobo ko na pork nilagyan ko rin ng chicken liver...saraaaapppp :)

Pink- siguro naubos ko na turon mga 20 pcs na dalawang upuan lang yan. Kahit lantatutay na yong turon kasi di ko maabutan na bagong luto bili pa rin ako tapos iniinit ko na lang sa toaster. Sarap naman nong pandesal.

Riza-buti naman natanggal na umbilical cord ni Evie. Dalaga na sya :) Oo nga pala newborn clothes pa rin pa yong mga damit na suot nya sa pic? Para kasing pang dalaginding na yong style :) Yong samin kasi na binili puro pang NB.

Riza-buti naman natanggal na umbilical cord ni Evie. Dalaga na sya :) Oo nga pala newborn clothes pa rin pa yong mga damit na suot nya sa pic? Para kasing pang dalaginding na yong style :) Yong samin kasi na binili puro pang NB.

Hindi newborn clothes yong mga dress, medyo maluwag nga. Husband ko mahilig damitan si Evie ng dress :)

te riza, ganun ba kasakit magpabreastfeed? gusto ko rin magpabreastfeed pero hindi ko alam kung may lalabas na gatas eh :D sana meron hehe.[/b][/color]

Parang 5 times na ako umiyak dahil lang sa breastfeeding frustration. Medyo mahirap at masakit, pero hindi yon ang frustration ko kundi yong di mag la-latch si Evie. Iba feeling pag di mo napakain ng gatas mo ang baby...ewan ko ba :crying: Sana maging madali sa inyo ang breastfeeding if you plan to do so.

Ibig mo ba sabihin Pink ay nagta-tighten? Kung yan ang ibig mo sabihin, it's Braxton Hicks contractions.

May tanong po ako. Malapit na ang flu shot month, magpapavaccine ba kayo? Safe naman daw yun sa pregnant women pero curious lang ako kung magpapavaccine kayo :D

Nafefeel nyo ba na minsan eh may certain part ng tiyan nyo na naninigas? tas after 5 mins. eh nawawala na yung paningas sa tiyan? if yes, alam nyo ba kung ano explanation nun? hindi ko kasi alam eh :D pashare naman :P

I think I will ask about the vaccine at my next prenatal visit. Also about the swine flu vaccine which, they say, is also safe. That will be available (daw) by October.

Yes, I do get yung paninigas from time to time. Those are Braxton-Hicks contractions...your uterus "practicing" for actual labor. I believe (if I recall my lessons right) that these are mediated by the growing baby stretching out your uterus. These are the contractions associated with "false labor". You'll feel these more as your pregnancy progresses.

I am just about a week behind you. Bundat na ako at 5 months and 3 weeks, Maizy kicks all over the place at the most inconvenient times and with such intensity...feeling ko di natutulog.

I bought our bassinet at Once Upon a Child for $25. The basket is portable (can be carried separate from the stand), has no vibrations, no mobile (I got a non-musical mobile with interchangeable pieces on it to suit baby's age --- red, black and white ones for newborns, then mixed with other colors for 3 months, etc --- for $10), with storage basket underneath. It had just come in when we were there and we reserved it right away.

Car seat: better to invest on a brand new one than a second hand one. I got mine today at Baby Depot for $59.99 less 10%. Is a discovery 5 infant carrier/car seat. Car seats expire 6 years after the manufacture date; probably due to some instability in the materials used to manufacture it over time. Also, you have no idea as to whether a second-hand one has been in an accident or not (of course the owner will tell you it has not). If you want, invest in a travel system/stroller-carrier combo. Evenflo is the cheapest brand, according to my research (walmart, babies r us, baby depot, target). I bought our evenflo stroller (Osh-Kosh umm, "model" or whatever you call it) online from a grandma who babysat her grandaughter for a few times for $25. Is a nice collapsoble stroller with big heavy-duty wheels.

You may want to start "collecting" clothing, too para di mabigat sa bulsa. You and I both are having winter babes so be sure to get warm clothing. My husband's co-worker was very happy to rid herself of her little daughter's clothing which included several fleece and terry-cloth sleepers, and a baby bunting that i can affix to the car seat. Oh...I got myself a car seat carrier cover to protect baby from the cold during transfer from the front door to the car. We are basically done with baby shopping, so to speak. Only things remaining are diapers (would rather wait till a couple weeks before delivery and just a small pack of newborn ones...baby might be too big to fit in them), and toiletries....i think :unsure:

Pink, nung buntis ako last year, binigyan ako ng option ng doctor ko since nagwowork ako baka daw magkasakit ako. Nagwowork ako sa Walgreens at me discount din kami pero nagdecide ako na hindi nalang magpa flu shot. Ginawa ko lang stay clean, saka this year, hindi rin kami kukuha (sama na baby namin) kasi lagi lang naman kami sa loob ng bahay. :-) Feeling ko, hindi naman siguro magkakasakit basta maalaga lang sa katawan at environment.

Meron kasi akong 3 ka trabaho nagpa flu shot nagkasakit pagkatapos hehehe. Siguro natakot lang ako.

thanks for mentioning once upon a child again. yan yung store na pilit kong iniisip na minention mo, pero di ko maisip-isip kaya nag-ask na lang ako ulit hehe. I agree with buying new car seat and stroller, well, kasi kami ay may plan pa kaming magkasecond baby, so feeling ko masusulit naman kung bibili kami ng mga ibang bagong baby stuff. Pero syempre hindi pa namin agad susundun si baby hehe.

about sa name naman eh eto nagdedebate pa rin kaming mag-asawa :bonk:

oo, yan nga daw ang isa sa mga side effect sa ibang tao ng having flu shot. hindi ko nga maintindihan kung bakit ka magkakaflu after having flu shot, kaya nga nagpashot para hindi ka magkaflu eh :bonk: lol! pero anyways, feeling ko magpapashot na rin ako tutal most of the time eh nasa house naman ako, so kung magkakasakit eh ok lang hehe. sabi nga sa akin ng mga friends ko at nabasa ko rin sa magazine na maganda daw protection din sa baby pero karamihan ng mga pregnant moms eh takot magpaflu shot.
