19 Weeks: Already Loved

I'm almost halfway and we are still busy looking at things that we want you to have, to welcome you.

Daddy and I already both agreed on your special, unique and meaningful name but that will be a secret to the rest of the world until your birth. 

Your lola &  lolo (grandma and grandpa) and tita Kathleen, tito Niko (aunt and uncle) and baby Elias already bought you their first gifts.

I already finalized your baby wishlist and guess what?  Your tita Lotte, tito Uwe and niece Mira were the first to get you something out of the list!  A carseat foot cover to keep your tiny feet warm this winter. 

Meanwhile, your kuya started going back to school and I'm left home alone during the week.  To keep me from being bored, I decided to make you a bib. I am sure you'll need more than five with all the drooling and vomiting that you will do.  I only want to be well prepared and to keep you from getting yourself dirty.

Your kuya has been kissing my round tummy. Hoping you'd feel his love for you. He promised he'd take good care of you always.  While daddy finds his rest and is very at ease when he gets to rest on my lap, pressing his check on my tummy to feel you move.

Do you feel your kuya's love?

Daddy and I already picked your birthcard and giveaways.

Here are a few things of what we are getting you:

Bloom fresco chair suitable from newborn up to 36kg.  We are not getting you that just because it fits better with our furniture or because it is beautiful but you will be sitting on it for seven years, we wanted to give you something that is durable and safe.

A Britax Römer Dualfix carseat for daddy's car.  A carseat that you will be using for seven years as well, again it will be worth the investment.

Your lola and lolo as what I mentioned before will get you the Stokke Crusi complete set that consists of a carry cot and a regular stroller for when your a bit older plus a Izi Sleep carseat for when I have to go somewhere with you by car.

Mamaroo rocking chair to calm you down during your grumpy moments and mommy is doing something like preparing dinner.

Now, what I love about the Bloom chair, Britax Römer, Stokke stroller and the Mamaroo are:

They all have that different (maximum of five) recline position function.  

They give babies utmost safety and comfort.

They've been ranked as one of the best baby gears available in the market.

Not to mention our little one will sleep on an Aerosleep matress which is designed to prevent SIDS, will be watched with a camera baby phone to keep a constant eye on our little one when sleeping and am alarm that goes off when it stops breathing.

Yes, one might think that we are a bit paranoid and scared that something wrong will happen to our baby. Investing a lot of money for something that will not know the value of what it is getting but when spontaneously getting pregnant is not possible for us, we want to do everything we can to make its environment a safe place to live in.
