Lorenzo Joao Manaloto first peek!

August 9, 2008

It’s highly convenient that Lolo Tek wanted to take a peek at his grandson’s progress. Not only did we get an ultrasound but we got a 4D ultrasound! I was surprised when he suddenly suggested it. How amazing is it when you get to see the hands and feet of the person kicking you from the inside? However we don’t have that clear a shot of his face, we don’t know whom he will resemble yet. But we do know that he’s healthy! :)

How does a shopaholic prepare for a baby?

July 22, 2008

My name is Marissa and yes I’ve been known to engage in retail therapy quite extensively. When I had problems at work I would leave and go malling to let my anger and irritation blow over. Right now my current workplace is not near a mall unlike when I used to work for ePLDT so I would engage in online shopping. Yup, shopping from the comfort of your PC.

As my tummy grew larger and my pants got way too tight for comfort, I would end up buying maternity pants and dresses. However, those lousy maternity pants feel too tight and right now I live in leggings. I’d feel so frustrated with my clothing choices that I inevitably buy more and more dresses. Yes, I am now a real girl.

Lately with Joao being active I casually started thinking about stuff for him. I went to Amazon and searched for the best selling baby stuff and boom I was hooked. There are so many things like baby swaddling blankets to baby carriers to BPA free bottles. Nalula ako. I’m so tempted to click that check-out button but I held back since I haven’t visited the baby section of Rustan’s yet. I actually told Lloyd that we should get a baby registry around August but I can’t hold out any longer. I must go check out baby items! :P

In conclusion, I’ve actually been lent a stroller and baby bjorn carrier. So I’m wondering if a baby sling or a baby carrier like the baby bjorn is best. I’m a little skeptical of the sling but it looks more natural that the baby bjorn. I’ve been doing research over the Internet and both come highly recommended. Hmmm…
