Free Nursing Covers

Planning Family is a fun and informative resource for parents and parents-to-be. There are helpful articles and videos, exciting tools, entertaining polls, and organizational checklists to help you from pregnancy through early parenthood. There are also money-saving features like printable grocery coupons and free baby stuff. I find it very useful especially when you’re expecting. They have lots of free stuff which I loved the most about being a member. It’s free and you don’t have to worry about extra charges because there are not any, but only free stuff for you to enjoy and your baby.

As a matter of fact, I already got free stuff from them a baby sling and a nursing cover. If you check on the nursing cover on the store today, it will cost you about $36 to $42 dollars as well as the baby sling. My husband and I were thinking of using a baby sling for the first few days of our newborn baby because it is much easier and safer to use for small babies who don’t know how to hold their head yet. Also, I plan to breastfed; therefore, having a nursing cover will make my nursing more private and comfortable especially in a public.

So, when Planning Family sent me an email about getting a nursing cover for free and only pay for its shipment, I didn’t hesitate to order one. For $32, I only paid $9.95 for shipping and handling plus no tax at all. If you want one, you can use the FAMILY2011 coupon code, once you have selected your size, you will automatically be directed to the "Udder Covers shopping bag" where you can enter the promo code "FAMILY2011". This promo code will take off 100% of the udder nursing cover purchase and all you are required to pay is the shipping fees.

Anyway, there are a lot of orders so expect it to be delayed. All of the nursing covers were backordered until April 25, 2011. So get yours now too before they get all gone! I can’t wait to get mine either. I ordered the Porter and maybe the Carter too..but I will wait until I get the porter to see if I like it.

There’s a Wriday on Your Friday

On Friday 5:

1. Dr. Seuss’s first published book was And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street!. What’s the most interesting thing you’ve witnessed on your street?
=On my street? Well, nothing so far. But, sometimes I could hear a police siren down there and maybe there's some accidents occurred which happened for about five times as of last year. So far I don't know if there's something going on, but hoping not.

2. In The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, a boy removes his hat to pay respect to the passing king, but each hat is somehow replaced by a bigger, fancier hat. If you’re a hat person, what’s your current favorite? If not, under what circumstances did you last wear a hat?
=I don't really wear hat but sometimes I do if my husband and I were taking stroll under the sun. I used to wear a boy hat/cap. During beach time, I love straw hats and during winter I love beret.

3. In If I Ran the Zoo…, a boy fantasizes about how fantastic the zoo would be under his administration. What’s your local zoo like, and how do you like it?
=Well, Detroit Zoo was fine I guess but not as good as what I saw on other zoo I've been to like the Toledo Zoo. I've been at Detroit Zoo for twice for these past few years since there's really nothing to see over there.

4. In Green Eggs and Ham, the main character refuses to taste a certain dish until, just to get Sam to leave him alone, he gives in and discovers that he likes it. When did something like this happen to you?
=Yes, I did! It was when I came here in US, it seemed like American food was just so not used to me, so I haven't eaten them like the mashed potato, sweet potato, what else, salad? OMG, don't like salad! But, as the years went by, I get used to it. I like it.

5. The Foot Book contains a lesson about judging others based on their feet. Feet seem to be something people have widely polar opinions about! How do you feel about feet, and can you think of someone in your life who has especially nice feet?
=LOL! Well, good thing my son had this book or else I'm going to wonder why this book is all about feet. Well, feet needs to be pampered and be comfortable since without them you can't walk! So, I guess, feet should be treated nicely and be pampered. Nope, I don't know anybody has a nice feet, not that I know of.

Summer Tops

Last two weeks ago, I went shopping but this time it is not for me, therefore, I’m not posting these thoughts on my blog A Shopaholic Diary, yet I was shopping for my son. Eventually having a toddler needs a lot of changes. If you buy a lot of clothes for a toddler who always growing and developing, then it would mean you wasted some money for clothes they will outgrow with.

Therefore, I intend to buy clothes in the store where they run big as well when it comes to sizes. Some of the stores are The Children’s Place, GapBaby/GapKids, and Crazy 8. I do love to shop at The Children’s Place due to the fact that some of their clothing runs big form shorts, tops, and even outerwear.

Some of the tops I got for him!

Last month, I bought new stuff for my 4 year old. Since they were all on sale and having promos, I bought worth of $55 tops for him for spring and summer which each tops cost me only about $6 due to the 15% off coupon. It’s all worth it since for this price you can guarantee that your son had something to wear this summer without emptying your pocket.

Now, we’re almost ready for summer! I still need something for him too like more shorts and sleeveless tank tops for our upcoming vacation soon! I can’t wait!

Quality Time with Family

Last month, hubby came home from Texas and it is almost a month now since he came home. Until then, my son was getting used to him again. He eventually adapt of being with his dada again all the time. Unlike a few days ago, he was kind an aloof and seemed not used to the idea that his dada w as finally here, though, he kind a missed him too. Now, wherever his dada went he would cry and wanted to come with him. He was indeed a dada’s boy for all this time!

Anyway, I’m not talking about how my son was being a daddy’s boy, but if how my husband loved his son so much by spoiling him with new toys. I was not like that; I do buy him new toys, but not as much as regularly whereas every time we went to a department store, my husband would grab something for our son. It seemed like it was not right, but it doesn’t happen that often though.
Well, last two weeks ago, we went to a department store and buy some groceries we need for the week. My husband went to the toy department again to buy something for his son. I understand since he’s been away with his son for two months and probably he wants to make up the missing time he spend with him, so I don’t even bother. I never argue at all.

This time, he bought a board game. It’s a PLAY-DOH Toy Time Race Game was you can mold your player and uses it in the game. It was fun because I tried it too and played with it a couple times with my boys. The game is all about moving your toys safely along the conveyor belt and into the toy box. But you have to watch out for the other toymakers because they'll try to squish your toys or send them off track and recycle them! The race is on to see whose toys will make it to the toy box first! It’s fun and my son loves to recycle everything too!

Also, if you have more colors, it means more fun! We’ve tried mixing colors too and we are all had so much! One way for us to celebrate quality family time.

My husband and I were thinking of selling our old laptop and so as our desktop and buy a new one. At first, I was hesitant due to the fact that we already have those computers and why sale them in order to buy new ones? It doesn’t make any sense at all for me, yet if you think about it, it might be a good idea, though. Since nowadays there are a lot of laptops and desktop computers that are well made and have a better operating system. I thought then we can able to use our computers for the next couple years without worried of being outdated.

Anyway, my husband was looking for a better deal on computers online. He checked all the brand names of laptops that were good when it comes to the included software and hardware, but for me, nothing beats the Dell products.

7 months of Pregnancy

At my seven months (28 weeks) of my pregnancy which is the first week of my third trimester and about 12 weeks from my due date. By this week, my baby weighs 2 1/4 pounds (about the size of a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels according to the fetal development I checked online. Many women report feeling additional symptoms and discomfort during the third trimester, although not all women will experience the same symptoms. Symptoms may also vary from subsequent pregnancies which I could relate. Some women experienced symptoms that I never did.

Like the Braxton-Hicks Contractions. Many women experience Braxton-Hicks Contractions at 28 weeks. They may become more frequent as the due date nears. These contractions are felt in the lower abdomen or groin area and come and go with no increase in intensity or regularity,but I never did yet and wish I will never did until next month. Also, the shortness of Breath, this is what I felt right now as my uterus expands below my diaphragm, the muscle pushes upward on my lungs. I felt more out of breath when completing daily activities too. It may be helpful to sleep propped up on pillows and take some time to rest between tasks which I usually do right now or asked my husband's help. I also feel relief closer to my delivery, as the baby will begin to settle lower into the pelvis in preparation for birth.

Aside from that a lot of women experienced heartburn which is a common symptom of seven months of pregnancy. Lucky me, I wasn't experiencing heartburn. If you are, it might be the growing uterus places an upward pressure on your stomach. They said that this causes the acid in your stomach (hydrochloric acid) to rise into your esophagus, resulting in burning and discomfort. So, over-the-counter antacids, such as Tums or Mylanta, are considered safe for use during pregnancy. If your heartburn does not respond to treatments, it may cause damage to the lining of the esophagus. Contact your provider, who may be able to recommend a different medication.

Anyway, another thing that I was worried about since I got hemorrhoids on my first pregnancy. Although some women experience hemorrhoids in the third trimester. These occur from the additional weight of the baby on veins in the rectal area. Avoiding constipation and straining during bowel movements may help to prevent hemorrhoids. Tucks pads and Anusol cream are safe for use during pregnancy which I used right now to avoid severe hemorrhoids during birth.

Also, I experienced back pain right now which many women report back pain during the third trimester. This is most likely because of the increased weight of pregnancy on my back and joints, and my pregnancy hormones causing the hips and joints to relax. I wish my husband would give me a prenatal massage which is helpful to alleviate back pain. Also, supporting my back with pillows while sitting and laying down provides additional comfort as well.

Now, I can't wait to go on a vacation and maybe I could relax even more. I hope so.
