i just realized that in about 6 or so weeks, i'll be leaving for cebu. you would think that gives me enough time to finish everything i need to do, but i feel panicky. i haven't even started buying baby essentials. as i said before, raoul is an unexpected and (unplanned) gift. we had already decided that we weren't going to have any more kids after vito so we gave away all of vito's baby things. we're back to zero.
i'm posting a list of things we need so i can refer to this as the months go by. maybe i'll purchase some of them in cebu. or maybe i'll start buying them slowly while i'm still here. i still haven't decided on whether we should set up a nursery. maybe a portion of our spare room (my office is here, and so are vito's toys) can be set up for the baby. i'll have to clear out some of the bookshelves to make way for raoul's things. where i'm going to transfer the contents, i have no idea! =)
things to buy:
SLEEPINGComplete Cot set - (pillows, blankets, sheets)
Baby-Safe Cot Mattress (needed in sg)
Cot blankets
complete bassinet set (needed in cebu)
BATHING & CHANGING
Baby bathtub (for cebu)
baby towels and washers (needed in cebu)
baby grooming set: hairbrush & comb, digital thermometer, nasal aspirator
FEEDING
breastfeeding pillow
breastfeeding bib (for me, so I can breastfeed in public without flashing anyone)a few baby bottles, preferably avent newborn onesavent breast pump
GENERAL
toys
baby mobile
nappy stacker/diaper caddybaskets
going out clothesonesies
booties and socks
GOING OUT
Pram/strollerBaby carrier/slingNappy/Diaper bag
whew! i have to work doubly hard to afford all these things! that's why i've been accepting more orders than i can handle. don't wonder why i've been quiet lately, i've just been really busy and exhausted. manuel is saving up for the hospital expenses, so i said i'll take care of the baby's stuff.

Avent bottles are amazing. I love them... expensive but worth it. my friend is the one who distributes avent bottles in Cebu. Much cheaper compared to buying it in the mall. I'll let you know the price difference.
my goodness, if only you had a crystal ball and knew that after vito, you were having raoul, you probbaly would have saved most of these no?LOL
