I will keep this short and sweet. Hehe.

Had my 33 week checkup today and everything was fine. We heard baby boy's heartbeat and it sounded great. Although my belly measured 1cm too small for how many weeks I'm carrying still. Nothing major to be concerned about. The OB said that I might be carrying an average sized baby versus the gigantic one that ( Read more... )

8 weeks to go and it has finally hit me that I have to get my baby boy's nursery going. I obviously have the big ticket items handed down from Izzy but of course, I stil have to get some new stuff for baby boy so it's not all hand-me-downs. Well actually, that my MILs idea.

I distinctly remember 3 brands which we used to buy at Tickle's or Regina's in old school Greenhills Shoppesville Center - Nenuco, Para Mi Bebe and Denenes. These are all ( Read more... )

...when I'm not travelling, that is.

Here's some cool stuff that I've found that to me seem like great deals. Not in any particular order, by the way.

1. Anything from Target

I've found the cutest clothes there (online and in-store). Going further into this pregnancy, I obviously did NOT want to buy maternity clothes anymore. The last time I was huge ( Read more... )
