Dress Up Day is the theme for this week’s Mommy Moments.  It can be any character costumes or formal dresses that they have worn.

Here are some of the pictures of my kids in chronological order.

 

Sophia’s First Birthday (March 2007)

Our Little Mermaid

@Somethin’ Fishy (Ewood, Libis)

Our Little Wonderwoman

@ BK, Cainta.

It wasn’t a blue christmas for us but we were dressed in blue

for Christmas 2007.

 

Calixto’s First Birthday (April 2008)

Our Little Cowboy (@Fun Ranch)

 

My Kiddos’ Sunday Attire are always formal.

 

Finally,

me and my kids are dressed in white with angel wings.

Taken 2008, this was my creative shot for our Yearbook before I graduated college. I included my two kids since they were with me all throughout my college life.  From conception to birth.

We survived it because we are ANGELS. =)

After buying baby stuff, I haven’t really prepared yet for my due.

Days have passed and I am still packing all those stuff only in my mind.  They are still in the closet, in another bag or container.  What have I done?  What do I need to do? At this stage, I am getting anxious that the baby will just come one day while all the stuff are still cluttered all over.

Okay, this is the third time but why I haven’t learned it yet.  Blame it on this pregnancy blues!

There is one thing I am really afraid of.  PRETERM LABOR/BIRTH. This happens when the baby is born before the 37th week.  I had it with my first two.  The culprit: S-T-R-E-S-S. Both were delivered on the 36th week.

I am once again counting the days before that dreadful 36th week.  It really insanes me especially now that I can feel the baby is actively moving inside me.  I definitely do not want it the third time.  I know I have taken care so much of myself from the very beginning and yet it still haunts me.

Maybe blogging might pump me up and help put away those blues.  So, here are some things I’ve done (with **) and I haven’t yet.

**-Request leave from my online job at home.

**-Buy baby stuff

-Pack….

• my hospital bag (includes: toiletries, undergarments, socks, slippers, sandals, going-home clothes, documents, clothing for Chris, towels and towelettes, extra blanket…anything else?)
• baby bag (includes: receiving blanket, going-home clothes and diapers)
• our food bag/utilities (includes: paper plates, spoon/fork, plastic cups, dish washing soap, magazines..what else?)

-Laundry some old baby comforter, blankets and lampin (cloth diapers) that can still be used.

-Prepare my househelper and yaya in the house and with the kids while I am in the hospital.

**-My doctors and the hospital.  They are fixed.  They were there since my first pregnancy.

-Lastly, may I ask you to pray for me and my baby’s safe and normal delivery.  That would be the best blues’ eliminator for me. =)

Time becomes too quick when you are on your last trimester especially when you have other things left to do.   One of the most important things to do is to prepare what you and your baby needs for her/his Big Day!

Feelings of heaviness, frequent urination, leg cramps and many others may often hurdle a mom for a last minute shopping.

So, when there are only 3 months or less that’s left, without any hesitation, it’s really just time to start buying baby stuff, as well as sorting and arranging baby’s room.

Just be sure to be with someone when you go out.  It may be your husband, your mother, mother-in-law, a close friend, or just anybody who can be of help to you.

Here are a few of what we

bought for our baby.

A MUST-HAVES for

every newborn.

- a receiving blanket

-a set of booties, mittens and cap/hat

-long-sleeved body suit or overall dress

-baby tie-side shirts

-baby face towels

-cottons, diapers for Newborns

-baby milk bath

-feeding bottles

-milk container

-set of pillow and bolster with case

-rubber cot sheet

Although our third baby will have some hand-me-down clothes (and others) from her Ate, we will still make Bianca as special as our first two.  Luckily for Bianca, we would need to buy her a new crib and a stroller since my first two kiddos had them really exhausted.

Second hand is still good but being the third user for something that has really been overused is not our option.
