Preparing for Baby’s Arrival
I dragged my maid to The Store with me and bought a 5-tier drawers for new baby days ago. Then, I started digging out Justin’s old clothes and nappies from the boxes, busy arranging and folding them, before placing them nicely in the drawers.
I found out that I don’t have to buy new clothes for this new baby. She has a plentiful of old clothes from her brother and cousins, even if most of them already dirty, wore off somewhere, and miscoloured. I wonder if I’m not treating her well enough by not buying her new clothes as I only bought a set for coming back from the hospital, and another set for full moon. Maybe it’s really too less, have to shop for a few more during Mega Sales.
BTW, I’ve bought a car seat for her, it’s a red Halford. It’s about half of the normal price when I bought it during previous year end sales. Justin thought I bought it for me and wanted to sit in it, so I kept the car seat in the storeroom first. Well, Justin has to stick to his until he’s 25 kg first, then only we’ll buy a new one for him.
Mmm…other than those, I didn’t buy anything already. It’s so different expecting the 2nd baby, like not as anticipated as the 1st one. I’m eager to have her, but really didn’t know why there’s not much preparation this time.
Last time, I read a lot about pregnancy, breastfeeding, and baby care before Justin’s arrival. Very kan cheong. Hubby also anxious to see Justin’s scan during each check up. This time, I went for check up by myself sometimes, and even if hubby came along, he didn’t ask the goc to print to 2D scanned pic too. I didn’t read that much already, or probably Justin has occupied most of my time and I’m not as free as before for reading.
Hubby also used to read or sing to my tummy last time, but haven’t started for the second baby. Funny huh? Both of us wanted to have the baby at first, but like really not anxious at all. Or maybe we’ve become “amateur” parents we are more relax?

Well, I also feel the same leh! Quite unfair to our 2nd baby hor? I kept complaining that DH doesn’t love this 2nd baby, and doesn’t care much about me too.
I guess, both of us are occupied too much with 1st child. Already don’t have the time for ourselves, how to fork out time for the yet-to-born bb leh? Sigh, I hope this #2 will not know it and hope that she doesn’t compare/complaint in the future. :p

The 2nd one is girl right? Wait till she come out, you just can’t resist yourself to buy new cloth for her. Girl’s clothing are so much prettier than boy’s.

Egghead, I hope what I’m feeling is normal too, and when baby comes out, things will be different.
Suzette, we’re in the same boat!!! Yes, I don’t want 2nd baby to know about this too, sound very unfair to her.
Jefferene, I agreed that it’s much fun dressing up girls. Maybe will buy more when she grows up.

Hey you bought a new car seat for new baby? The one Justin sitting can’t use for Infant? But up to 25Kg, meaning can last till 6yrs old like that liao.
It’s ok la, no need to buy so many clothes for baby. They outgrown so fast, just a few pieces enough loh. Day to day wear, i think for them to wear old clothes more comfortable, because the fabric will be softer and nicer.
also ppl say baby wear old clothes easir to ‘dai’. Zara baby last time also I just let her wear ppl’s hand me down. Like you, only bought a full moon and discharge from hospital set.
