July 19, 2011 (yesterday) @ 7:00 - 9:00 pm was the Materni-Tea and Tour in the hospital where I am going to deliver my baby on September 15 (my due date but it can be before that date). The Materni-Tea and Tour was a success, I was there together with my DH and the rest of the pregnant women with their husbands. Though DH was a bit uncomfortable because he did not eat first (there's foods in the hospital meeting place but just snacks, fruit cake and drinks: juice and water, coffee) and did not know when it will end (he even said he wanted to go home already, ha!), still I can see on his face afterwards (when we got home) that he was fine and smiled at me telling that I was the first few who attended that already had big tummy. Waaa! Yep, there were 18 couples including us (DH&I) who attended, it's crowded I know. Such activity started with a few explanation about the booklet and some info given, then had some snacks. After that, we had a tour going to the labor and delivery room as well as caesarian rooms. Then went up to the 5th floor showing us the rooms (all rooms are private) for the postpartum recovery. It is basically a tour in the hospital where the delivery journey will be made for the soon-to-be mommies (we will be called mommy very soon. Whew! *smile*), where the buttons located to push when nurse is needed and some electricity-how-to's stuffs. At first (and until now *grin*) I cannot comprehend much why it was called Materni-Tea but then I just realized, okay, I just now understand why is that has been called a Materni-Tea which in fact, there is no tea being displayed in the meeting. Drinking tea by the way is not good for a pregnant. As to my sense, it is called Materni-tea because expectant mothers who will going to deliver in that hospital are able to meet and great. It is the deeper meaning of tea, as just like tea party, the difference is that there is no tea served. So, it has been said as that for the deep meaning of tea, not physically. :-) What you think? ;-)
A recent trip to the clinic a few blocks down the road was such a welcome experience, much thanks to the parade of nurses and aids clad in those
mens lab coats. It is about time they make such fashion sense and create fashion statements out of the normally-boring-down-pat and usually ignore-them-when-i-see-them medical scrubs and lab coats. If you ask me, these daily-work staple clothing makes these people less intimidating, if not friendlier. Suddenly a mom-to-be/mommy's journey (and alike) to ob-gyn or any doctor's clinic is no longer something you would always dread or something that will bore you to your wit’s ends. It could be at times, though, well who really goes to the doctor to be entertained, right? It is 100% business when you do, unless you have a doctor for a best friend!
Now, at least, you will have those interesting outfits such as scrubs for men which we can find at:
http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/ to look at and keep you occupied while waiting for you lab result or waiting in line for your turn. As for myself, it don't look good for me wearing scrubs, well, maybe just the style of it. Looks like a, what they said "gay-look " . Oops! But not anymore. And if in case your own clinic has yet to discover these fashionable, patient-friendly medical outfits, would you be such a doll and leave them a note telling something you just discovered. :-)
Underwears, thin shirts and other inside shirts maternity accessories. I am thankful I have plenty of those. My own little (little when saved and added eventually grows) income does its wonder plus DH gave me bucks and let me get a good deal to have it. I am a savvy person so I make sure to have great deal even it takes time for me to get it happen. I hunt good deals. If I found pricey but worth, I go for it but most of the time I go for sale and alike as long as I found great ones, then go! I always believe of good though I also believe of "you get what you pay for". :-)
In our journey in life especially us, mommies-to-be/stay-at-home moms, homemakers, a fire can be such a terrible tragedy. Imagine having to watch your property burn down before your eyes. The feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming. Another seemingly daunting task is cleaning up after the fire. You may not how to go about the whole thing.
