Wishlist at 36 weeks pregnant

The episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show last Friday celebrated Mother’s day. Everyone in the audience received heaps of stuff. Baby stuff was also given away. Strollers, baby car seat, 6-months-nappy-supply, baby cot, changing table, baby carrier, clothes, toys, vouchers for all sorts of baby shops and basically everything you need for a baby. Anything you could think of, Ellen got it covered! I want them too!!!! Mr. Hubby was also saying how it would be great to get that 6-months-supply of nappies. Huhuhu... Last few months, The Circle threw an on-air Baby shower for Gorgi Coghlan (one of their host), who was pregnant then. It was probably sometime in November if I'm not mistaken. The show invited pregnant ladies to be their audience and they all received everything that the Gorgi got. Practically everything you need for a baby. I don’t think they need to buy anything else for their bubs. Ellen’s and The Circle’s audiences were so lucky!!! *Sigh* I wish I was that lucky!

Well, I’m not saying I’m not lucky at all; my sister bought me Amway’s confinement set which are herbs and stuff for after I give birth. Thank you K.long! I also got to choose maternity clothes from my sisters. Hehehe... For the lil un, we did received clothes since Xmas last year such as bodysuits or onesies, wraps and a baby bag from my sisters, sister-in-law and brother-in-law in Malaysia as well as from Imelda and Tom, and Vicki all the way from Sydney. We also received baby rockers, changing table with storage rack, baby’s portable bath tub and a bassinet from our landlady and her daughters. Eventhough they are not brand new, they are still in good condition and we couldn’t be more grateful. They also gave us heaps of baby clothes, wraps, cot linens, blankets and baby toys. They have been so nice and helpful so far and are just as excited as us. It’s also a relief to know that we can count on them if we needed to. We’ve been blessed. :-)

So, what do we still need? I’m still not sure whether to get a manual or electric breast milk pump??? Should I get it now? There are so many choices! Help Me!!!! Huhuhu... We’ll probably need more nappies and wipes. We haven’t bought any baby bath gel, creams, lotions, etc. What should we have ready, eh? I feel like we are so relaxed and not entirely prepared! Huhuhu...

I supposed the most important thing is; the baby car seat! Huhuhu... Now that we have a car (Oh yeah, will have an entry on that soon, I hope. Heh...), we definitely need a car seat. It’s the law people! Huhuhu... We have been looking at car seats as well as strollers/prams online and at the shops. They can be pretty expensive, eh?! Especially those baby capsules. Huhuhu... We’ve decided that we’ll just buy a convertible one. It can be used for newborns till the bub’s about 18kg. When will we buy it? Well, Mr. Hubby was a bit reluctant to buy one now. We are at the moment depending on just my monthly allowance. We’d figured we’ll wait till he gets a job. In the mean time, we might just rent a capsule for when the baby comes, just to start off. I have to say this though; Target and Big W’s having a sale on babies’ and kids’ stuff! Hehe! And I can and will keep dreaming for the things I want for our lil un! (And for me too!) ;-) Haha!

Dreaming with a budget in mind;

From Target...

Mother's Choice Emperor convertible car seat. So Cheap! It's only $149!

Steelcraft Cruiser stroller. If I wanna splurge a little? It's $249. Cheap? Hhmm...

Maybe a bit later on..? Baby Club Holiday Portacot at $49.

From Big W...

Zuzu Astro convertible car seat at $198. Looks so comfy!

3-wheelers somehow attracts me and this one is only $148!!!

Hubby kinda like this coz the handle's convertible. It's only $148!

Dreaming without a care in the world;

In addition, the travel system needs a Graco or Maxi-Cosi infant car seat which is sold separately. Can read more here Phil and Teds smart bundle.

Heaps more to dream about but that's enough for today! Hehehe...

Cheers!

PS: Mr. Hubby’s student dependent visa has been approved! Yeay! He can start working now. Anyone got a job for him?
