Baby Sling :)

Finally! After months of reading about baby slings and browsing Next 9's Facebook account, I've decided to purchase their baby sling. I was suppose to buy one at SM North last month but the only color and stock they have is purple. I decided to let it pass first, wait for new stocks and buy online. I've been checking their Facebook page almost everyday waiting for their announcement of new stocks. Wish granted! New stocks delivered to SM Megamall's department store yipeee! Since my brother works in Ortigas and he's very near Megamall, I asked him to visit the department store for me in case he's going to the mall and last night he did! :D

From Next9's website

I was hesitant to buy the baby sling at first because it looks complicated and scared I might hurt my Miguel. But articles online said it's harmless, in fact it's strengthens mommy and baby bonding and a lot of good things. Quoting from Next9's website:

"Wearing your baby is smart parenting. Worn babies cry less, have increased mental, emotional and physical development, and develop healthy spines. It also makes life easier for the parent."

I have yet to try the sling and I'm really excited! I hope it fits me hihi! It's a good thing I still have time to practice before Miguel comes out. :) 

The exact color and design of my sling. My brother chose this for me. I will make a review once I've tried the sling :)

Grand Baby Fair 2012 - Part 2!

I knew there would be plenty of people. I read it on a blog and on GT, of course, my number one reliable source :) At first I didn't know where to go. I was confused! Haha! The first booth I saw was Avent. My goal really is to buy a breast pump and just go window shopping, well, I only had P3,000 cash in hand. A week before the sale, we already bought most of the things he will be needing that's why I didn't brought cash. My cousin and I started walking and walking (and walking) before buying anything and my gulay there are lots (and I mean lots!) of baby things! I had to get hold of my self!

After one good look at the whole area, I decided to get pang-alis clothes for Miguel and few little things on his list. 

We also saw Medela and after thinking more than a hundred times, I decided to get a Medela Harmony manual breast pump instead of Avent.
1. Budget friendly
2. Hospital grade like Avent
3. Bigger discount
4. Highly recommended in GT :)
I'm so happppppy! :D

My Medela Harmony manual pump is sale at P3,300. Price before was around P4,500. :)

After hours inside the fair, my cousin decided to call it a day. I went with her to the FX terminal and while waiting for my parents I went back inside! Hahaha! :D 

I sat down for more than 30 minutes to relax my legs a bit and enjoyed watching other mommies and daddies go gaga. It was really hard to walk around with a push cart or even with a basket. Wow, I've been to wedding fairs/bridal fairs but this baby fair is s-u-p-e-r! Too much people!

When my parents got to the fair, they, too, checked what's on sale. My father got excited again we ended up buying a crib and a stroller for Miguel - which I think is a steal! My mom and dad said "sayang yung discount!" The crib is more than 50% on sale! 

The cashier line is approximately 250 meters loooong... 

I spent more than what I have and ended up using my credit card. My hubby wasn't with me but I made sure he knows what I'm buying. When we got home, I showed him everything including the crib and the stroller - I'm glad he was happy, too! I'm happy I was able to get hold of my self. There are just too many things for my little one and I just kept thinking "does he need this?'' and I'm glad I was able to control my self. Naks! I feel matured! Hehe! I'm a compulsive buyer most of the time, by the way. ;) I felt fulfilled when I bought the pump, and on a high when we bought the crib and stroller. :D The swag-bag is very nice, too!

Swag-bag free for every P2,000 single receipt purchase.

Inside the bag :)

I wish the baby fair event happens twice a year.

Grand Baby Fair 2012

The Grand Baby Fair is S-U-P-E-R! I forgot how I learned about this baby fair, probably at GirlTalk but I remember I saw a poster and a blog a week before the grand baby fair. I'm glad I didn't let it pass! I really wanna go on the first day of the fair, which is January 27. My dad's supposed to attend a birthday party in Pasig and I thought he could just drop me at Megamall, go shopping until he comes back to fetch me. But sadly, he was too tamad to attend the party so I missed the first day. I told my husband that it was probably a sign for me not to go, but I was hard-headed! The next day, a Saturday, my brother was up early. He doesn't have work during weekends and he usually sleeps the whole morning. I asked him where is he going and said he will be at the Ateneo annual fair because Rebisco will be giving away cookies and sandwiches and my brother has to supervise. After, he and his girlfriend will be meeting their office mate in Megamall to buy a gift because they will be attending a 1st birthday party in the afternoon. My heart beat was faster. My eyes widened and I couldn't believe what I just heard! Megamall to meet his office mate. I smiled at my husband and he laughed because he immediately knew what was I thinking! Haha! I asked my brother if I could come and just pick me up at Megamall after the party and said yes! :) My husband is so nice and gave me his ATM card :D

Getting there isn't easy. In fact it was very hard. After our 2 hours of stay in Ateneo ( I ate the whole time! Haha!) we were caught in traffic. It took us more than an hour from Katipunan to Mega mall and had to fall in line for 30 minutes or more just to get a parking slot. I was very impatient the whole time! All I wanna do is get to the fair and shop! I sent my cousin Geca a text message and asked her if she's free and if she wants to come with me. She skipped her afternoon class for me and I felt guilty. Bad me. My brother, Jade (my brother's girlfriend), me and Geca had late lunch first at Eat and Go and then off we go to the fair! :D
