One of the most exciting part of being pregnant is preparing things before your baby arrives. Its fun to buy baby stuff, choosing clothes from different designs and colors, cute outfits, everything your baby needs from head to toes.
It might be too early to buy some but I just want to put up stuff while I still have ample time as sooner or later when my baby arrives, I know my time would be limited then specially if I will undergo a Caesarian delivery again wherein recovery a bit longer. Stuff that I bought so far were:
1. Baby Book ~ my daughter Amber Jade had a baby book when she was born so I also decided to buy one for Baby M :)
I love the Contents, can't wait to fill them up... ;)
2. Playtex Ventaire Feeding Bottles - I am planning to breastfeed and would love to the best that I can. But just in case, I have bought this feeding bottles for future use. My daughter Amber also used Playtex Ventaire when she was a baby but hers were those wide ones. This time, I bought this slim size one for Baby M. Playtex Ventaire feeding bottles were really the best ones for me. They are uniquely designed to reduce colic, bottom vent helps reduce air ingestion. It helped my daughter Amber when she was a baby as she was colicky back then.
3. My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow - I have chosen the Sunburst design as it has a hint of color green. I just love green this time around. ;) Since I am planning to breastfeed the longer I can, I have bought this nursing pillow so it will more comfortable for me whenever I breastfeed my baby and also to support my back since I have a mild scoliosis. Back rest helps me maintain good posture during feeding and prevent me from sore back and neck, too. Arm and elbow rests eliminate shoulder stress. Firm, flat cushion keeps baby from rolling. Adjustable strap that can fit on Daddy, too. :)
4. Bumbo Baby Seat - I love this baby seat, love the color, too! Softly made, I'm sure my baby would love to sit on it! :) Designed for infants from three months to one year. It is uniquely designed according to the baby's posture. It can be used on any flat ground level surface and promotes new opportunities for interaction between mommy and baby.
5. Esprit Garden Party Hauck Bouncer - I bought this bouncer when I was around on my 6th month. As from the start, I've been feeling that I am carrying a baby boy, I've never think twice of buying this blue color. Aside from that, for me, this bouncer/rocker is very space saving and easy to carry around especially if we'll be bringing baby outside. I love the simplicity of the design. Has an extra head support for newborns which can be removed as baby grows.
6. Combi Magical Compact 4-Way Carrier - since I have mild scoliosis and sometimes have back and lower pains, I've chose this carrier for my baby because of its nice features. Offers optimum head and back support, provides maximum airflow and may also be used as a breastfeeding aid. I can use this carrier right after my baby is born and can be use til' toddler stage. I love the four carrying positions especially the cradle one. . ;)
Love the Marine Blue color which is the one I bought for baby! :)
7. Baby Clothes - I have started buying baby clothes as early as when I was 3 months pregnant but just only whenever I see stuff that I really like. I always focus on comfort,the fabric, same as the design as well. So far, these were the baby clothes I have collected. From cartoon characters to animal prints, light to dark colors and from sleeveless to long sleeves. Love the cute captions most of
all. :)
Can't wait to see my Baby wearing this! It's my most favorite! :)
So cute! :)

8. Graco Pack n' Play - with all those baby cribs we see from the market, I love this most! It's a fashionable infant playard that can easily be packed with a convenient travel bag, very handy. Added the size, just right. One thing I like about this is that it features a full-size bassinet with a comfy quilted bumper pad and mattress pad. It's always been convenient for me every time I change baby's diaper. And also, it has an organizer for your little ones' stuff. Glad that I found one online that is in like new condition at just a cheaper price. I love the color, too! Just perfect for my baby boy. :)
This system works in two modes: the simulation mode and the expression mode. The simulation mode simulates your baby's initial rapid sucking to start your milk flowing, while the expression mode simulates your baby's slower, deeper suckling to express your milk gently yet efficiently. These modes work together to make pumping a quick and painless process.
UPDATE:
10. Leach Co Cuddle-U Nursing Pillow - lately, I have added this to my baby stuff collection but not for breastfeeding but more on to support baby during sitting, tummy time and when he's in bed. When he is using a normal pillow, he always slipped as he's so active this time at his age. Unlike the My Brest Friend nursing pillow, this one more softer but just more bigger so still I will recommend the My Brest Friend for nursing as it is more convenient for me to use though this Leach On provides more fun ways to use. As a comfy seat for baby, there's no wiggling or squirming out, has easy-close fastener that keeps baby secure. It's a wonderful way to prop up babies not yet sitting on their own and a good way for tummy time, too! When not in use, the seat wrap tucks into the pillow pocket.

11. Medela Swing™ Breastpump - Yay finally was able to have an electric breast pump! So happy as I found a cheaper one that fits my budget and aside from that it's a Medela brand which for me tested to really be working well when expressing breast milk.:) Though the manual pump works prettily well for me, too, but just sometimes I find it tiring after pumping so many times though it provides ease of use and can bring with you wherever you go as is it's handy.
12. Ergo Organic Carrier - to complete my baby stuff collection, here's my navy blue Ergo. It's one of those convenient baby carriers that I really wanted to have since I was still pregnant. Though unlike Combi Magical Compact Carrier which can be use in 4 ways, the Ergo don't have that baby facing in front carry feature so I decided to still keep my Combi and use both alternately. I bought Ergo because I'd read a lot of reviews that it comfortably distribute baby’s weight between your shoulders and hips so you will be save from back pains. I have mild scoliosis so was hoping to find a carrier that will be of much support. Added, read that it's also good to use while breastfeeding outside the house as it has like that canopy cover which helps for more comfort.
Though as of this time, haven't yet use both Combi & Ergo myself to compare ease of use. My husband had used the Combi with baby Moses through cradle position with the infant insert when he was around one month until two months though seldom as we have been using his stroller most of the time.
Let us see on the coming days, now as baby Moses is getting bigger, he will be 4 months this coming 4th of March, might be a good time to start using both carriers with baby in sitting position.
