My mom and dad are the best parents in the world and when they moved into their new place just outside of
Dallas I knew I wanted to do something special for them. I went to
Direc4u.com and started researching satellite packages since my mom was really into food shows and my dad has always been all about football. They said it was a great gift since they could use it in the new place and it wasn’t something they would have bought for themselves! I was really happy for them to start this new chapter in their lives and I’m really pleased they chose to include me. I can remember not that long ago when I would have had to call them ten times a day to get one of them on the line because they were so busy at work! I’m glad they’re retired and finally get to rest for once in their lives and I really hope they take some time to spend together and really savor this moment in their lives, you know?
One baby stuff that I prepare is, baby clothing to which I am sure she will need after I deliver her in this world, the real world. I am on my steps of becoming a mom. Soon enough she will be here in my side, not on my womb anymore. In the midst of September is my due date. Now that is something to get excited. However, there is also something to get nervous. But that is the journey of being a mom. I just have to balance it, not too excited and not too nervous and alike. Or else I'll get pressured and will affect the baby-in-my-tummy.
Yes, I already bought baby stuffs, not just baby clothing but also baby blankets. It has been said and proven by many that cotton stuffs are much better than other kind of fabrics. Though not all what I bought are cottons but most of them are, or it contains mostly cotton. It would be best for her as newborn baby is very delicate as well as messy. So in time of washing, it would not be hard for the washing machine to take-out the dirt. :-) What could be better than that?
I feel the need of knowledge on how to keep my baby warm because she will be born on cold season. As I know even during summer time, newborn should have to be wrapped around because her body could not yet adjust to her surroundings. That means, double or triple the need when it is Fall especially Winter Season. Sure, we have the heater to heat us up but when it is time for pediatrician visit and such, that is very much essential. And I am not in favor of using heater to keep us warm 24 hours. So baby clothes and such have to fit the weather condition.Thankfully I have it already prepared.
Once you became a mother you would think of things that you do not usually thought about back when you were single. You will be worried sick about every tiny detail and would always want to be in control of every given situation. You will be all too worried about your well-being so you can be healthy all the time to look after and care for your child and you will start thinking of getting health insurance policies to be sure. And that's a word from a mommy friend of mine, and I do agree. I can see and feel it even though am not a fully mom yet. But only about a month more and I will be one like her, a mommy.
One of the best options, a mommy or a parent to consider is
Ameriplan, it is the next best thing you can get next to an insurance policy or an alternative to insurance. We like to think that a company should offer a wide variety of medical and
dental plan to cater to any one's individual needs and specification. What’s even better is you do not have to fill out complicated application forms to apply and avail of the services. As it has been said, Ameriplan offer unlimited health products, a wide variety of discounted items, and a 30-day money back guarantee, too. Being healthy and in the great health-assure journey has never been this easy!
Does journeying into being a first time mommy also mean being mean? That is a big question to you mommy-to-be what is that meant. That could also either tag with a million dollar question or nothing on you, maybe.
Alright, the husband told the wife (mommy-to-be) that being her as a pregnant woman made her mean. What??? Well, maybe. Charge to experience, I can now say what I want and do not mind what he thinks. Ha! Especially on my first trimester, I just really say it and can care less. One time he was furious and I just said, you look like a pregnant woman. It might be my excuse, or it really is. This is one perk that I have being a mommy-to-be. He just let it go and think that it is because I am pregnant. He cares much of his daughter-to-be and do not want to hurt me saying unpleasant words (he used to be like that and care more that am pregnant), am sensitive wife, you know. Now, he is the one who is sensitive, and me the vice-versa. Ha! It is my turn. Oops! But sometimes, my mood swings and even just little nonsense stuff, it gets on my nerve. Ooh well. Blame it to pregnancy again. Grin. But, always remember that too much is bad, pregnant or not. Just a simple reminder.
