Wishlist Bumbo baby sitter

The Bumbo Baby Sitter is a revolutionary new concept with world wide patent rights, uniquely designed according to the baby’s posture to seat babies independently in an upright sitting position, from as young as 3 months up to an age of approximately 14 months depending on the individual development of the child, thereby providing a snug and cozy environment for your baby.

Bumbo Baby Chair Interesting Facts:

Endorsed by Pediatric and Orthopedic Facilities

The Bumbo Baby Seat's key feature is that the seat is at a lower level than the leg openings.

This provides correct support for the lumber area of the vertebral column.

The Bumbo has a favorable orthopedic effect that is important to assist in the correct spinal development of an infant.

The Bumbo's raised leg spaces result in an increased flexibility of the baby's hip and knee joints, which has the benefit of decreasing stress on the baby's spine.

The Bumbo's front support won't push against baby's groin but prevents baby from sliding forward

Hoping to have either Aqua, Blue or Mint color with tray.

The first sign ....

First signs of labour

Every labour and birth is unique, and there is a very wide range of experiences to be had. You can't predict exactly how or when your labour will start.

Look for these signs:

The show

This is the release of the mucus plug (the operculum), which seals the opening of the cervix. It might be a blob of pinkish jelly; or it could be a series of smaller pieces; the colour could be more red than pink. The plug 'escapes' because the cervix is just starting to stretch and soften - but it doesn't mean anything has to happen now. It could mean labour will start anything between a couple of hours and a few days.

Rupture of the membranes or 'breaking of the waters'

The membranes are the bag of waters, or amniotic sac, which hold the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. When the membranes rupture, the amniotic fluid (known as liquor – pronounced 'ly-kwor') comes out. It can happen as a sudden gush of liquid, but it's more usually a slow trickle. Call your midwife or the hospital if you know your waters have broken, and ask for advice. They may suggest you come in – there is a possible risk of infection if the waters break and the baby takes too long to be born. There's also a risk if your baby's head isn't engaged in the pelvis, as the waters could bring the cord down as well. This could mean your baby might compress it – and that could mean a risk to your baby's oxygen supply. Most women whose waters break go on to have perfectly normal labours, and fairly soon afterwards, too.

Contractions

Count them and time them. If the contractions come closer together over a period of an hour or two, and last longer than 40 seconds, and get stronger, they're likely to be labour contractions.

When?

Spoken to Joanne ... she delivered her little gal in 35 week
Spoken to Griselda ... she delivered both her little ones in 34 & 35 week ...

So when is mine coming?

So worried ... as my prince beddings and stuffs not washed ... and its rainy season
So worried ... as there is still things lacked and have not gotten it

So when is all these be done?

So started washing the mittens and some stuffs ... hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow. =)

SlingEZee by Parenting Concepts

Got this Sling EZee while I was in USA at a yard sale for USD$10...

Knowing Your SlingEZee
To be successful using your SlingEZee, it helps to know the parts of the sling as they are referenced here. The stitched strap with the SlingEZee label on it is referred to as the tail. The portion of the SlingEZee that cradles your baby is the hammock. The rails are the top and bottom padded portions that line the hammock and provide comfort across your back and shoulder. The stitched pillow above the rings is the shoulder pad, designed for long-term comfort of wearing, especially as your baby grows into a toddler. The shoulder pad is not a pillow for your baby’s head. Lastly, the rings are called just that – the rings.

How to Buckle Your SlingEZee
To put your SlingEZee together if it is apart, pass the tail through the two rings, and then back over the first one and under the second. Tighten it so the SlingEZee label is immediately below the rings.

Baby Plus

Got this Baby Plus from Takashimaya at the baby fair... at $288 sgd.

What is it?
The BabyPlus curriculum is a series of 16 naturally derived sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat. The rhythm of the sounds increases incrementally as the pregnancy progresses. The BabyPlus sonic pattern introduces your child to a sequential learning process, built upon the natural rhythms of their own environment.

This "auditory exercise" strengthens learning ability during the developmental period when the advantages will be most significant and enduring for a child. BabyPlus is the first educational tool designed for prenatal use that has been proven effective. BabyPlus children have an intellectual, developmental, creative, and emotional advantage from the time they are born.

The BabyPlus lessons are designed to be played for one hour, twice a day. For optimal benefits, start using BabyPlus anytime between 18-32 weeks of pregnancy.
The BabyPlus Prenatal Education System is at the forefront of the 21st century learning revolution.
Since 1989, parents in more than 60 countries worldwide have given their children the BabyPlus advantage.
Your baby can very clearly hear these patterns. She/he learns to discriminate between the sound coming from the mother and those from BabyPlus. In other words, learning has begun.

No Boundaries(Kris Allen)written by Kara DioGuardi



Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever
If you feel you’ve lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

So here I am — still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

I thought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets
Don’t know where’s the future’s heading
Nothings gonna bring me down
I jumped every bridge
I run every line
I risked being safe but i always arise
I always arise

So here i am still holding on

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Yeah
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

Lionel Richie featuring Akon - Just Go Lyrics

This is one of my favourite...


(Lionel Richie)
It’d be so nice (nice nice)
If you didn’t have to feel so lonely
It’d be so nice (nice nice)
If I could sneak you for a moment

I know you like to get away, go away, far away
To a place where there’s just us two
Got a busy day, everyday but not today
Cause I’m here to take that stress from you

So you can just chill and clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well let just first make this with you
cause you are so worth it

(Akon)
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go

(Lionel Richie)
How would you like to sail away in the Bahamas?
(Just you and me, girl)
So far out in the sea where nobody can find you
(Just the end of the world)
Cause there is no rush for you to come back and face the rain
Cause there is plenty sunshine where I pickin’ you
And I’m here to reduce the pain

I know you like to get away, go away, far away
To a place where there’s just us two
Got a busy day, everyday but not today
Cause I’m Here to take that stress from you

So you can just chill and clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well let just first make this with you cause you are so worth it

(Akon)
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go

(Lionel Richie)
Just imagine when you tired and
Layin’ by my side and
Sippin’ on some wine while I stand in massage and
Releasein’ all your tension I couldn’t handle a time and
My job is to keep my baby smilin’

So you can just chill
And clear your head
And let me do everything for you cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well let just first make this with you cause you are so worth it

(Akon)
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
I just want us to go go go
Drop everything and just go go go
