Before I check an online auction, here’s my post for the day.
With the new baby, new items are now added on my regular grocery list. One of these is the diaper. Okay, I have bought some cloth diapers prior to the baby’s birth but I still buy the disposable ones for reason of convenience. And if it’s disposable, the only brand I trust is EQ (dry), which I have used with my first born.That said, it’s just a bit disappointing to see that the EQ Dry for newborn doesn’t perfectly fit my baby. Now that is really a little issue and I could forget about that…but because of that, I got curious with the fit of newborn diapers from other brands.
And so I bought newborn diapers from Huggies and Pampers. And this I found out: Huggies is a much better fit compared with the other two brands. This is because the Huggies NB diaper are designed for babies weighing 4kg and below. Among the three, Pampers has the biggest NB diaper, although like EQ, their NB diapers should fit 5-kg and below babies (according to label).
I forgot to mention it but the Pigeon Baby Bottle Cleanser refill I bought –and mentioned before–comes with one free big Pigeon bottle. How cool is that!
Now, look at this image below.
This Pigeon bottle also comes with a tiny bottle of the Pigeon Cleanser. See that little bottle inside the baby bottle? That is it. 
BTW, I like the “revamp” look of these new Pigeon bottles. So sleek.
I’m curious about this: student laptop insurance. Does it only apply to students? Everyone (who has a laptop) surely needs it so how about people, like me, who are no longer studying? But before I get to find out about that, let’s first talk about love. (Hehe. Sound mushy!)
Love, love, love. It’s the word that I always associate with Pigeon products. I just love them. And I use them because I love my babies so much I try to give them the best. I trust Pigeon is the best for them.
That said, I believe the Pigeon Baby Bottle Cleanser is the best cleaning product there is.
First because it’s made with natural foodgrade materials (edible) so I don’t need to worry about harmful chemicals. Second, it’s gentle on my hands. Third, it washes off quite easily so I get to save on water. Fourth, it doesn’t leave a “soapy smell” as it only has the faintest smell that is absolutely pleasant. Last but definitely not the least, the Pigeon Baby Bottle Cleanser can be used not only with baby bottles but can also be used to cleanse toys and other baby accessories and fruits and vegetables.
Fancy buying colorful and cute underpants for your little boys? Lookie, lookie what I found at SM Department store.
Suuupeeeeeeeer cute briefs that I couldn’t resist buying for my toddler.They come in many cool designs that your tot and you will surely love. Available sizes: small, medium and large. But I wish they have bigger sizes for dads, too. Paging Sorella.
So we started collecting the Toy Story 3 toys available at Shell Gasoline stations.
If the station where we usually buy our fuel have available toys, our collection would have been complete by now. We already got 3. Two more to go and we hope we can get them before promo ends, which is on July 15, 2010.
After 7 months, I finally decided to shop for some things our coming little one would need when she’s delivered soon. So here are some of the goods I came home with, after an excursion at the mall.
Basic white clothing pieces for newborn
I reckon a washable cotton diaper is practical, so I include 2 packs of these.
Then I couldn’t resist this uber cute onesie in pink.
BTW, this was the first time I incurred a huge bill in one shopping spree. I almost couldn’t believe the amount I had to shell out for all of the things in my basket. Mind you, a half dozen of Kohler kitchen faucet maybe a lot cheaper! But I believe it was all worth it.
After the Ferrari toys, with almost real Ferrari parts, that gasoline station Shell is known to offer to their valued customers at a lower price (and which my son has a collection already), now they are offering cute Toy Story 3 toys at affordable prices.
There are actually 5 variants of the Toy Story 3 collection available at Shell stations nationwide from June 11 until June 30, 2010. These are Woody (on a train) , Buzz Lightyear (on a Spacecar), Jessie & Bullseye, Aliens, and Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear (on a dump truck).
BTW, I am not really a big fan of buying promo toys (such as offered in food chains), but it’s a different story when it comes to the toys offered by Shell. They are just hard to resist. And currently, we have collected 2. Hah, 3 more to go!
I have already posted a review of sort about Indigomanila’s Spellbath Salt, but I wanted to share something that I –or my son to be exact– have recently experienced with it.
As I’ve mentioned before, my son is asthmatic and allergic. Every now and then, he has bouts of skin allergies, mostly occuring on the neck and upper chest area. Few days ago, he has started to scratch that particular area again. And because I don’t want to resort to an allergy medicine just yet, and since I’ve read once that a mother used it on his son’s skin allergies, I tried to manage my son’s itch with the Spellbath Salt.
And I saw for myself that it’s true indeed. After a couple of days of letting my son get into the “salty” bath, his skin has somehow improved. After three days, the tiny bumps are all gone –thanks to Spellbath.
Having an allergic and asthmatic child is not easy, and I’m saying it as a mother who has one asthmatic kid and who has experienced scenarios that have tested my courage and strength. But that said, how much more difficult it must be for the child.
And because of all that, it is important that we take all measures to keep the kid from having an attack, at all times and at all cost. Whatever that means. For instance, we keep books cleaned and free from dust all the time. We watch his diet. We have regular A/C cleaning. We change beddings every week to keep it mite-free– actually, we’re supposed to do it every three days or best, everyday as advised by the doctor. But we settled for every week because our laundry woman comes every weekend only.
And we buy non-allergic stuffs for the kid, which brought me to seek allergy bedding, if it’s available because we need these things. And I found some, from mite-free pillow cases to allergy-resistant mattress toppers. Really want these beddings. No, we NEED these! So gotta find a way to get some delivered here.
Oh it’s already May 1. Time to start the countdown leading to the national election. I’m sure people who have invested much –blood, sweat, tear, money– in the election campaign are already antsy to get this over and done with .
Me, I’m also doing an internal countdown to my delivery date ( incidentally today is Labor Day in the country and so goes one of the reason of this countdown). Three more months of taking four different kinds of prenatal vitamins. Three more months of walking like an obese penguin, eating like a pig and heaving like never before! My tummy is bigger and heavier, and so there’s three more months of wearing a support belt.
When the time comes, I hope I have an easy and safe labor –and that our baby is happy, healthy, strong and smart. Praying earnestly.
