Alhamdulillah, we're now at Week 32..i think ;) because every time we head to the doctor's office, the scan showed difference in terms of age between head circumference and body. Normal i suppose :)
So this weekend (it still is a weekend.. I'm typing this on a blissful Sunday morning while husband is in deep sleep) we have got a packed schedule! Let's recap yesterday's activities, shall we?
Noon: Went to Littlewhiz warehouse (and the only sales boutique i think) in Setia Alam to get the infant car seat. Husband had done some research, while i took a liking at Maxi Cosi Cabriofix. We both agreed infant car seat is the best after reflecting on our lifestyle, and we definitely don't mind getting the convertible one when this baby outgrows the seat.
The warehouse / HQ / boutique was stuffed with parents & parents-to-be. It was nothing like FabMom or OBW probably because this is the only outlet they have, hence it was all industrial..if you can call it that. We went specifically for the infant car seat, and because it is a sale, you can expect great discounts for all (available) models. When we got there, we saw Maxi Cosi, Halford and ... this one
Cybex Aton 2
sunshade!
caught husband's interest. Little did i know, he'd done research on this one :) It is sturdy (albeit tad heavy) and comfy.. it's well padded so we wouldn't have to get additional paddings for it. It actually costs the same as Cabriofix, and feels better than Maxi Cosi Pebble. We decided on it, and then went around the (cramped) aisles to look for additional pillowcases and extra receiving blankets. We wanted to get another bed set as well, but it was too stuffy for me to think properly :) Other shoppers bought Moses basket, breast pumps, bath tubs.. while the whole store is on sale, i definitely am grateful we had settled the bulky items much, much earlier.
I wanted to get few more items, but decided to get that at OBW instead. Much much comfortable and spacious!
We then had lunch nearby and then...
Afternoon- night: Reached AEON Bukit Tinggi to redeem our free movie passes that we got from my department team building some 2-3 months ago. It would expire this weekend, and coincidentally so does our AEON cards. We saw 2 Guns, and i had this feeling this movie would be the last before i give birth. Who knows when the our next time would be, cos i'm definitely not taking my young baby to cinema anytime next year!
Hmm i would rate the movie as so-so. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't something i'd pay again to see.. unlike Daniel Craig's James Bond or Christian Bale's Batman sequels. Bias, i know .. :)
We did some shopping, well, husband did.. with his birthday just in 2 days, I badgered him to pick a present. He chose a pair of sandals, which comes from the same series as mine :)
It was sometime after that, around 8.15 pm, that i started feeling some cramps in the lower abs. It came intermittently, and every time it did I could not walk even. We chose to have dinner there as well, and pain subsided when we sat. I felt the pain again as we walked all the way to the car. Thank goodness we decided to postpone grocery shopping, because i really felt hot and bothered by the pain!
I remembered thinking, I'm only in 32! But then, some moms had given birth in 32! But I haven't packed yet! Heck, i haven't done baby laundry yet!
We reached home, and the pain left. I read up, and it feels like Braxton Hicks! I've been having these thoughts, that i'd deliver much sooner than i thought (37weeks maybe) .. so i have 5 weeks to go!
This morning, fresh and wide awake, I have just soaked in first batch of newborn clothes (all whites) and hopefully, be just as motivated to continue throughout this whole week..
Things i've yet to buy:
- Cot & beddings for Shah Alam house
- Minyak telon
- Nappy cream (to use daily, not reactively)
- Socks (for me)
- Pyjamas (also, for me)
- More maternity clothes & bras & stretch mark cream
- Bath tub for Shah Alam house!
