I don't seem to realise until a certain moment when I carry him and notice that my wrists and arms are hurting after one minute! It's quite a workout carrying him without my Baby Bjorn.

However I'm a sucker for all things with cute patterns so I really love the Bath Towel by Dwell Studio (below). It comes in many patterns, the one I have is the Owls Sky design. The inside lining is a fluffy terry cloth material and the outside is a cotton material. It is very luxurious and hence the big price tag of $79.95 from <a href="http://www.thehipinfant.com.au/">The Hip Infant</a>. It is perfect for winter and keeps my baby warm and snug while I dry and change him. I highly recommend it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I can cook up a meal in a flash once the husband comes home. It's just so frustrating to cook a nice fresh meal and it sits there on the dining table getting cold and dry while you wait for the husband to get home. Mine has terrible time management and when he says five minutes it literally means one hour. So having a slow cooker eliminates all this time guessing and arguments when he does finally come home at a very late hour and me screaming at him for not calling me to let me know he will be late. <br />
<br />
So with my Breville slow cooker I can prepare dinner in the morning and leave it to cook for a few hours or put in the ingredients a few hours before dinner and let it cook while I do something else. <br />

I know mine will never be the same again. At first the weight just fell off during the first two weeks and it was probably due to a bit of baby blues and getting used to the whole idea of motherhood. Once I was getting the hang of this baby thing and was feeling like myself again- I was eating a LOT more and it was like I was pregnant again. So obviously I gained back all that I lost in the beginning.<br />
<br />
I tried to eat less which made me even more hungry after a day or two eating of like a bird. Then I binge and ate really bad food. I just didn't feel satisfied. It is a very frustrating cycle! I had to stop myself from snacking and eating junk food. I was still eating chocolate and Ribena everyday which I thought was a pregnancy crave- I am not pregnant and still craving this! <br />
<br />
Anyway I thought I might try to eat in small portions and eat when I am hungry. My weight still stayed the same- maybe I lost my metabolism after giving birth? I used to be able to lose weight quite quickly if I ate small portions. Not anymore. Boo hoo. <br />
<br />
Now I am going to attempt at eating healthy snacks instead of the usual chocolate and ribena. I discovered natto and kim chee are a great combination with fluffy steamed rice! Plus it fills me up!<br />
<br />
I found this <a href="http://honolulueats.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A0%E3%83%81%E7%B4%8D%E8%B1%86%E4%B8%BC-kimchi-natto-don/">Kimchi Natto Don</a> and it's a great idea to add eggs on top.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Natto is a fermented soy bean and it's not everyone's cup of tea. But I love this stuff! Most people need to grow up eating this type of food otherwise I guarantee not many people can actually like this. It's a bit smelly, sticky and stringy to eat. My husband always gives me a look of disgust everytime I eat natto. He says it looks like sticky boogers on rice. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I gather that if this is low in fat and healthy for you it must help to lose a bit of weight too:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I wear this when I am in a hurry to get out the door with baby strapped to my chest, handbag on my shoulder which leaves me with two hands free. Ok, I need at least one hand to push the pram- but sometimes I can nudge it along with my hips when I need to carry my groceries- which looks a bit funny to some people. Not very funny to me. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">These shoes have been with me when I went for my (last) holiday to Japan and lasted right through my pregnancy till now. It's a bit beaten and black but it's still the most comfortable thing to wear on my feet right now. I am not sure what I am going to do when winter comes. I might still be wearing them and freeze my toes off if I don't find a pair of equally comfy boots soon! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So I went to do a bit of speedy shoe shopping while baby was sleeping in the pram.

I guess it was a good thing.</div>Funkiimonkeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04880767147333946606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702060596375458884.post-6049207083694108952011-05-06T01:03:00.000-07:002011-05-06T01:03:10.811-07:00Getting Ready for First Baby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Having your first baby is exciting and you can easily go overboard and buy everything baby related because you think you might need it or just in case. However when your newborn arrives all they do is sleep, cry and feed and sleep again. It's a very simple (ok, not that simple) routine in the beginning so you don't need that many things as I learnt the hard way. I bought way too many things! It was like I was having triplets instead of just one little baby.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok so here is what I couldn't live without and what things you do need to buy before baby arrives. It is my opinion only and of course all mums have differing views on what is neccessary and what isn't. It's up to you to decide what suits you best:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first thing I bought is clothes. Actually the very first thing I bought when I knew I was pregnant was the <span style="color: red;">Baby Bjorn Carrier</span>. I didn't find this useful in the beginning because I hardly went out. But one month later- it's my life saver! You definitely need one of these. You can buy it before they pop out or later on. However, having a baby when you go out makes things a bit more challenging so I suggest you buy it before. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright, onto the baby clothes. I bought so many and in the end I just used Bonds singlets most the time- a white one and a blue one. I wash everyday so I just rotate them. (I had about 15 singlets in total which are still lying in the drawers with stickers on them.) </div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiikl_U0hKboZ_EoZs47DlfMC-Je8f3nqzFLndT1xHSNnH5PpyTTAoS9ci6673Tg9_AFOKWkv67ND9Tf6ydPXrTDFB2bz-0ZDx6eDH95KWWz45AJXn8SyK1j4TdsdGbHDj4pzpES_lfDyg/s1600/baby-image8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiikl_U0hKboZ_EoZs47DlfMC-Je8f3nqzFLndT1xHSNnH5PpyTTAoS9ci6673Tg9_AFOKWkv67ND9Tf6ydPXrTDFB2bz-0ZDx6eDH95KWWz45AJXn8SyK1j4TdsdGbHDj4pzpES_lfDyg/s320/baby-image8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">And I also bought some Bonds Coveralls and Onesies. Again you just need a couple of each and just rotate. Unless you plan to do your washing once a week then I suggest you buy a few more. Keep to the same colours so you dont have to sort colours in the wash. I stuck with white or blue.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"> Helpful Hint: Avoid clothes with too many buttons! It will drive you crazy during the wee hours of the morning when you change nappies in the dim lighting.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the Pumpkin Patch Sleeping Gown (below). It is easy to put on the baby (no need to go over their head) and the open end makes it easy for nappy changes. Also the open end can be buttoned up into pants.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Now onto sleeping items for baby. I used the <span style="color: red;">Merino Kids Cocooi Wrap <span style="color: black;">(below pic)</span> </span>to swaddle him to sleep. Newborns settle better when they are nice and secure. You can choose other types of swaddling wraps- there are many options out there! If you aren't good with wrapping then I suggest you go for the zip style wraps eg. <span style="color: red;">ErgoCocoon</span> or <span style="color: red;">Woombie</span>.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">Avent Dummies</span>- Some parents might suggest otherwise. Personally, I think dummies are my sanity saver. It soothes them when they suck and it also helps to stretch out his sleeping times so I can get an extra hour of sleep. Sometimes they just want to suck and are not actually hungry. I like Phillips Avent as they come with a cover. I'm just a bit of a clean freak. Although I heard that a bit of germs is good for their immune system. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9svAJO1MuXTGEQFVvpFUDReCuTMrxeZ5cse_wLLzy60p1mARNwIi8uT8SkCHQsT7WHkQucOsCjFvi9lolqSH-xd0jTpGdtR9ZZA9FSc1Ih17sRHhU2seXq8BW1pF9w5bYWw1G2VM43fI/s1600/897872006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9svAJO1MuXTGEQFVvpFUDReCuTMrxeZ5cse_wLLzy60p1mARNwIi8uT8SkCHQsT7WHkQucOsCjFvi9lolqSH-xd0jTpGdtR9ZZA9FSc1Ih17sRHhU2seXq8BW1pF9w5bYWw1G2VM43fI/s320/897872006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Terry washcloths are so useful! I bought heaps and glad I did. You can use them for feeding to wipe milk spills etc. and I use them for bathing. I also use it to clean the tongue and mouth. It's so multipurpose and cheap! I bought mine from Target. I never use any muslin cloths. Never. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhkhdANN8aizxlGfsOsT_nBC6dsLcLt-A9frT2rXKDFYRHsmSe83uhcov05dnNpNZAkM1YFoZI2ziP0Jqst0plU_goFv1oAxXTzVETUAqdz4Au_Nu6Oea2mbONcjKvj5D1HYXC8GT7dQ/s1600/BabyLuxe%252520Wash%252520Cloths%252520e2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhkhdANN8aizxlGfsOsT_nBC6dsLcLt-A9frT2rXKDFYRHsmSe83uhcov05dnNpNZAkM1YFoZI2ziP0Jqst0plU_goFv1oAxXTzVETUAqdz4Au_Nu6Oea2mbONcjKvj5D1HYXC8GT7dQ/s1600/BabyLuxe%252520Wash%252520Cloths%252520e2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is a list of things that are also useful:</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Cot- unless you want a bassinet but they will outgrow them pretty quick!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Change Table with bath tub- I live in a small space so this was great! You can also change nappies on your bed of on a chest of drawers to save your back. No need to buy a special change table for this! In the beginning I just used a laundry bucket to give him a bath. Then I transitioned to big tub at around 2 months.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Pram- unless you plan to use your carrier all the way but a pram is more convenient for shopping trips and walking in the park etc. Especially when they weigh a tonne later on!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Steriliser and Bottles- Some people don't sterilise or they use the good old big pot of boiling water to sterilise. However I find that with an electric steriliser it can save a lot of time! Bottles are a must- breast feeding or formula. You can give Daddy a go sometimes and you can take a break! I prefer the Philips Avent range.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Bath Products- I love the Mustela range and use the Bath oil and the cleansing gel. Smells like baby heaven to me:)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Baby Scissors- to cut those little tiny nails! It's scary at first but you become a pro in no time!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Bamboo Blankets- Soft and warm!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Nappies- I use disposables by Huggies. I would love to try MCNs (Modern Day Nappies) and will get back to you on that!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">What I wasted my money on.......</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Sleeping positioners- Lucas never moved much when he slept. He was swaddled so I don't think positioners were useful for me.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Sleeping and Breathing Monitors- I live in an apartment so I could hear him cry anywhere. As for the breathing, Lucas makes a lot of noise so I was never worried about his breathing. But I still get up and check once in a while just to make sure! It's part of my paranoid personality!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Muslin Cloths- they are only useful for prams as a sunshade or a bedding sheet. I don't use them to swaddle (not stretchy enough) or to wipe up mess. (terry cloths are good enough).</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Sleeping bags- Newborns need to be swaddled so you don't need these until they're much bigger. But all babies are different so it's up to you to decide:)</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Bibs- I have not used any yet. Maybe good for when they start solids.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Toys- Lucas had no interest in toys until recently (3 months) so you can buy them later.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Bouncers/Swings- they outgrow them very quickly so I suggest you get second hand!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Nappy Bags- Most of them are so bulky and big they just lose practicality. I use a soft bucket bag to carry all his stuff. But if I am out and about with the pram I just use the pram storage compartments. No need to carry a big bag!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Nursing Pillows- I just use normal V-shape pillows which works just as good!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Nursing Chair- I sit on the lounge chair with my pillows. If I want I can turn on the TV but usually he wants my full attention!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Bottle Warmer- Didn't use it at all. Maybe if you are breastfeeding it will be more useful. Especially if you express and then keep it the fridge. Could be useful when they start eating food.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope this was helpful! Remember everyone's parenting style is different so it's best to start off simple and go from there.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Good Luck and enjoy the first few months!

That's all that matters. I know there are other products that claim they "work" and it's all trial and error for some but I can certainly say that this stuff will definitely give you to-die-for peepers in a few weeks! I've used it in preparation for my wedding and stopped it straight after when I decided to get pregnant. Now I am back on again.

I can't wait till he can start talking- it does makes things more easier for me! At least I will know what he wants instead of trying to work out all his different cries- he has many many cries and puts on his usual grumpy face.

They are a bit more heavier than other brands but more sturdier and it's such a smooth operator. I love it! It's suitable for me since I hardly drive the car so being a bit on the heavy side is just a small disadvantage to me. Got mine from <a href="http://www.babyroad.com.au/">Baby Road</a> for AUD1599.00 and if you're a VIP you can get 10% off. They didn't have it in Black so they showed me the deep purple option which wasn't my first choice but it does grow on you and now I'm glad I got it instead of boring black:) After I purchase some pram liners from <a href="http://www.harmonyj.com.au/">Harmony J</a> it will look even more unique! I love the animal safari design pictured below. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was a life saver until I got my new pram. He honestly doesn't like to sleep in the old pram! These past couple of weeks have been a strain on my back hence my splurge on a good pram. So far so great!! He slept more than an hour in it today and I could finally eat my lunch with my sister without having to carry him in the carrier. He was still sleeping when I finished my lunch and I could even go do a bit of shopping. Shopping for clothes is hard when you have to carry him around. How are you supposed to try on clothes?! </div>Funkiimonkeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04880767147333946606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702060596375458884.post-772832903643275452011-04-11T00:02:00.000-07:002011-04-11T00:02:55.591-07:00Smiley Lucas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSceQQSz3lQJNcd45E0sfQ-7ZXnJTwuEcDnYnvgbbP8w0VVXwHavYaQgqPf8uKfpgBYcxXxfzneIzD6qjf3o_Gz5_IhZOyWQMi3IS-rTsPsDX2jmSFMtAyzx7Sskzw0Cn-OAzhqg6HHa8/s1600/Lucas+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSceQQSz3lQJNcd45E0sfQ-7ZXnJTwuEcDnYnvgbbP8w0VVXwHavYaQgqPf8uKfpgBYcxXxfzneIzD6qjf3o_Gz5_IhZOyWQMi3IS-rTsPsDX2jmSFMtAyzx7Sskzw0Cn-OAzhqg6HHa8/s320/Lucas+011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My sister manages to grab a blurry shot of Lucas smiling!

Just stumbled on this video on Youtube yesterday and can't believe that this girl has the guts to rant about asians and their annoying habits in the library while she is trying to study. I think it's a very huge generalisation she made and it doesn't apply to all asians. The way she brought the Tsunami disaster into this is so wrong! Although she made an apology- the damage has been done and too late to turn it back. I thought in this day and age people are over this "Ching Chong" and "Ling Long" racist behaviour. It's quite upsetting for me as an asian and I do worry about my child going to school one day.Funkiimonkeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04880767147333946606noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2702060596375458884.post-25711473326842933862011-03-20T23:32:00.000-07:002011-03-20T23:32:30.960-07:00Shopping @ Urbanbaby.com<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtEMWryyE1UDql64WosDXOP7R832vsqGUBe2GqpGc2EhUijnzE3mD-l5L7Z2elySgNKM0lXt4ZMJUVbYiDQmC36XwpWiyeZbJXoNdkSRTWoFKV44mUYtCCRsQhuW-S4b6-SxwaQUl2Pk/s1600/21-03-2011+12-21-52+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="412" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtEMWryyE1UDql64WosDXOP7R832vsqGUBe2GqpGc2EhUijnzE3mD-l5L7Z2elySgNKM0lXt4ZMJUVbYiDQmC36XwpWiyeZbJXoNdkSRTWoFKV44mUYtCCRsQhuW-S4b6-SxwaQUl2Pk/s640/21-03-2011+12-21-52+PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(left to right)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">Top Row- Prince Lionheart Deluxe Drying Station, Mor-stor Paper Rope Storage Baskets</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">Bottom row- Love Me Baby wrap, Sleepy Wings & Aden and Anais Muslin Cloths</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Just recently bought some baby "essentials" from <a href="http://www.urbanbaby.com.au/">Urbanbaby</a> which is one of my favourite sites for baby stuff!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Deluxe Drying Rack by Prince Lionheart</span></strong><br />
I like to have things a bit organised in the kitchen (not that it is very organised at the moment!) so this drying rack was great to separate the dish rack from the bottles. It has easy instructions (picture instructions are more user friendly for me) and was setup and ready for use in no time! Very handy :)<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mor-stor Baskets</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;">This is great for putting all your nappies, lotions, cotton wools, towels and washers etc. It looks fab on the shelf or you can put it near your changing station and have everything you need close by. And when baby is all grown up you can use it in your drawers for your underwear or scarves etc. </span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Love Me Baby Wrap</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;">I wanted to try this as it was a lightweight material which is good for hot days. Lucas was sweating so much in the <a href="http://mylittledumbo.blogspot.com/2011/03/mummys-best-buys.html">Merinokids Cocooi wrap</a> that I mentioned in a previous post. I will save it for cooler days! Lovemebaby wrap is a cinch to use- just zip up and baby is nicely snug. However, Lucas could still rub his face with his arms which will wake him up constantly. So I gave up on it. Maybe it works great with babies who like to have access to their hands as some do to comfort themselves. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Sleepy Wings</strong></span> </span><br />
This is so adorable when Lucas was using it. It's like a little shrug that keeps their arms up or down which ever they prefer and has a pocket for a dummy. Although it looks super cute I find it has the same problem as the Lovemebaby wrap- they can still touch their face. I tried to use it upside down but Lucas could still manage to get his hands up! So I guess I will stick with good old swaddling for now.<br />

The good thing is that it's very large so I can use it for swaddling, as a pram cover and I have heard that people use it as a makeshift baby sling! I also recommend their other products too! I bought the burp cloths and wash cloths. I have yet to try the sleeping bags. Have to wait till Lucas is a bit bigger.

He grew so fast! He didn't even need the size 0000 and now 000 is too snug on him. I also bought heaps of baby suits with buttons up there and down there and everywhere- it's frustrating during nappy changes and when changing his clothes. He hates it! The most useful item was the simple bonds singlets and onesies. I avoid two piece outfits as it's too much trouble to pull his pants on and off when I have to change his nappy. I think he would be happy to be naked all the time........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
