I think we are finally ready for the big day, as far as buying things for the little guy. He sure is spoiled! (A big thanks to Beverly and Jerry for shipping us all our last purchases!) We have everything bought and set up. All I need to do is pack my hospital bag. You experienced moms out there, what would you say is a MUST for me to pack???
Here are the latest "must have's" for a new baby. . . or so I thought. :)
Of course you need bedding. . .
I really liked this color scheme, even though it isn't the "sports" theme I always thought our baby boy would have to have; I love it!
You need a stroller. . .
The much anticipated Bugaboo stroller. I was so excited to get this stroller, and it arrived yesterday. I spent quite some time setting it up, becuase I couldn't wait for Jeremy to get home from work. I think he would have had it assembled in half the time it took me and my belly. . . but I sure felt accomplished once I finally finished it! Daisy on the other hand felt a little neglected.
Look at those tires! They could climb a mountain! (Helen our neighbor said it is so big like a tank. And I guess it could rough the terrain just like a tank.) And it comes with a fashionable pram so that the baby can lay down flat. Apparently that is supposed to be better for the baby's back. (How do you keep up with all the changes in what's best for the baby???)
And of course you NEED a snake skin nappy bag! For those of you who were like me 5 months ago and had no clue what a nappy was, it is what this part of the world calls a diaper. This is not a diaper bag it is a nappy bag. Kind of a funny word huh? (It sounds really good coming from an Aussie or British accent.)
Does a newborn NEED a pair of Nike Airmax??? If Jeremy is the father, that would be a definite YES! Those of you who don't know, Jeremy is a shoe fanatic! Especially when it comes to Nike, he has almost every color of Nike Shox ever created. So I'm sure this is just the first pair of many to come. . . that's what we love about Jer, he is so stylish!

Oh, my goodness! I can't believe you are that close to having your little one! I love your bedding set--so cute. And the shoes are adorable.
As for your hospital bag, definitely pack a robe and a a comfy *maternity* outfit to wear home. With my first one, I was sure I would be able to just squeeze right back into my regular clothes. It was really depressing when I had to wear home what I wore to the hospital.
I cannot believe JEREMY let you buy a BUGABOO!! Wow, J, you are the best hubby! Everything looks great, you are totally ready!! My only musts for the hospital are comfy pj's, a nursing bra, underwear, socks, chapstick, and conditioner. Can't wait to see the schnookems!
Good luck the hard part is coming up hold on jeremy .
aw, you look all set! Sorry, i have no advice for you to bring to the hospital in your bag...maybe a pair of stylish PJ's, so when people come visit you, you're all like...."yes, it truly WAS me who just had the baby!" hehe, hope it all goes well. Thank about you all the time. cant wait to see photo's.xx
darling, please send me your email address. I want to send you pho'to's of my new nephew.(My sister's new little one).they got proffessional pics taken with him, and they are SO cute! you'l love them im sure. send me a quick email so i can get yours. gem.courtney@hotmail.com
Looking good Sarah! I can't believe only 6 weeks to go! I can't wait to meet the little guy!
Jer would go crazy... if only I'd known - my brother works at Footlocker in Brisbane - he could've hooked you guys up (he is also a shoe fanatic and buys baby shoes for all our nieces and nephews almost every birthday!)
Catch up with you guys soon!
xox
Such a cute bedding set!!! I love the stroller too, so cute, and the shoes. Its just all cute. Its crazy to think how soon it is!!! And no, i have no clue what the heck to do about Chaco, he is a maniac, my poor child!!!
I love your bedding Sarah! SO cute. I can't believe it's getting so close. How exciting. As for what to pack, I would have to say flip-flops for the shower, your own pillow, breast pads and nursing bra, jammies, snacks and an outfit for little crew. I've seen people come to the floor i work on after giving birth with like 4 suitcases full of stuff, so i guess you can never be too prepared! good luck. i bet you can't wait.
oh the setup looks so great! i'm so happy that you have only 6 more weeks! you'll do great!! we sure do miss you guys!
Sooo cute! I love the crib and the bedding set. Looks like you are ready. Now we just need to get little crew here. I bet you just can't wait. We can't wait thats for sure. Oh and those shoes are perfect! Him and his daddy can be little twinners!
Love !Love !Love! the bedding! Crew is going to sleep like a king! One thing i have noticed is that no one has mentioned the life saving cream!! Or am I the only one that remembers the pain :)my must haves:
N Cream
comfy feeding bra
comfy yet cute PJ's...remember that button up makes it so much easier:)
If you can, have a manicure and pedicure done...just makes you feel better when your hands and feet feel pretty:)
Thanks for the message you left I loved it:)
Please send me your details, would love to catch up.
Love Nat
I can't believe it's already almost time, that is so exciting! The bedding is totally adorable by the way!
What a freakin stud this kid is going to be!!!! I'm so excited for you guys!! I wish so bad we were close so I could see all the excitement!!!! I hope you guys are well, we miss you guys SO MUCH!!! Take care of yourself and get TUNZ of rest because it won't happen after this baby comes, sleeping in will never be heard of again!!!:)) Luv you guys!!!!
your little bedding set is adorable! makes me want a baby just to buy stuff for her/him! :) hope everything goes well, tell jer i said hi!
Hello Stranger! Yes we are alive!! I have gotten so behind in my blogging! But I am back, and am so excited to see you are getting so close! I've been thinking about you and wondering how things are!! Looks like your doing great!! Your baby stuff sure is cute! I can't wait to see the little guy!! You look great too!!! Lots of Love!
Hey Sarah!! How adoable! I can't believe you are only 4 weeks away, that is going to go by super fast!! I am glad you guys are loving Singapore and glad we found eachother'sblogs!! :)
P.S. I LOVE the name Crew---I wanted Colby to be named Crew!! :)
I love your nappy sack. I'm a big fan of the baby stuff that still looks fit for a respectable adult. If you are planning on nursing I would definitely recommend you get some "lily padz". Don't waste ur time with any other nursing pads as they just move around & are uncomfortable on the nips. I'd also recommend taking some music & a way to play it. I don't think most hospitals have music players. Also, a basket of snacks is great to have while recovering, especially for your husband & any guests that may have children with them. Well, good luck. I found giving birth a rather enjoyable experience compared to what you see in the movies. Can't wait to see pics!
