Day 41

Day 41 - Philippians 4:19
"And my God will supply every need of yours
according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

It's another proven moment for me that as I pray to God about some of the little things in my head (that actually when added up altogether make up the worries that make it hard to sleep at night), He extends a helping hand to remind me that He provides.

As I approach my third trimester, it's hard not to get excited about how I should dress up my baby. Most especially that I am expecting a girl. Along with a long list of necessities such as the crib, the carrier and the stroller, sterilizer, bottle feeders, breast pumps, etc., it would be a lot to carry home if we will shop for this in the city. I was thinking before that the good ones has to come from the city or online at least. But one day, as Hogan and I went for a late lunch in the mall connected to our building, the angels sang when we saw this lovely store of baby products. It just opened and we thought there's no perfect timing but now for this to open. We were in awe and we checked it out right away. Complete with what I mentioned earlier, the crib, the stroller, the carrier, we can get it all there. No need to carry purchased ones all the way from the city. Plus, he can actually try to run it himself. There's lesser percentage of choosing a wrong one via ordering online. We were so elated with how God made it so accessible for us. We couldn't help but get worried as the time of birth is so near since both my husband and I share a first time hands on experience marking a huge step in marriage. We didn't realise that 9 months is just that fast. It is also good to know that they sell organic products that is safe for baby's health. I am so sure this store will serve us good. Thanking the heavens for this.

To the other parents out there who have had their share of good stuff that is worth investing on, please do let us know by commenting down below. It would be very much appreciated since we don't know what brand is the best or which models are most useful. We have not purchased any yet except for a wrap around top, topical medicine for colic, burp cloth and a changing pad. This is a list that I have seen online and I don't know if it's accurate or what.

The hospital has some stuff included in the package we went for such as:

(for the mom):
- 2 packs of maternity pads
- 10 incontinent sheets
- 1 cleansing bottle
- 4 ventilated pants
- toiletries
- 1 pair of slippers
- abdominal binder

(for the baby):
- baby album
- Membership of Union Baby Club
- Booklet on neonatal care
- elegant gift for newborn baby ( I don't even know how useful that "elegant" gift is going to be! )

So, yeah, please do let us know what else besides these should we get.
