Shopping weekend

Last Friday, I was told by my manager that I might fly out to the US this July for a couple of weeks of training. He asked if I was ok with it and I told him it's fine as long as I get a go signal from my OB. The main thing that excites me about the US trip is the idea of buying baby stuff in babiesrus! My stroller dilemma would be solved! However, since it's not yet for certain and I would still find out within this week, hubby and I still went to the mall for a bit of shopping and baby stuff price comparison. We went to SM Megamall and were supposed to go to Rustan's as well but didn't have enough time so that's rescheduled for next weekend. Here are some of the things that we saw:

Graco Pack and Play - 11,000-13,000. Dan wants to get the one with the napper but I'm not yet totally sold on that idea since it will just use some space once the baby doesnt need it anymore. I wanna get one of these though but not the one with the bassinet at the top.

Graco Quattro Tour Zurich stroller - 13,000. This doesnt come with a carrier/carseat but I'm fine with it. The only drawback is that it seems a bit too bulky. However, this is good for newborns until 2-3 years old. I'm all for getting just 1 stroller that our baby can use for a long time since they can be quite costly. Graco also has a 3-in-1 stroller for around 16,000. The stroller itself though can only be used by the baby from 3 months and up. In the meantime, you can attach the carrier/car seat on top of the stroller and the put the baby there. The carrier/car seat also functions as a rocker. Definitely something to consider too :)


Dr. Brown's wideneck feeding bottle set - 2,300 something. I can't believe SM Baby and Co. sells these for this price. I ordered the same set from amazon through a multiply contact (see earlier post) and it only cost me around 1600 including shipping.

Avent 9 oz. bottle twin pack - The polypropelene pack is 900 something while the honey tinted bottle twin pack is 1300 something (as far as I remember. I dont have my list with me now). I'm getting this as back up bottles for my baby :)

White tie-side shirts. They're quite cheap but I'll only be getting around 10-12 pieces since I was advised to not buy so much of these. I was looking around to see if they have Carter's or Gerber but unfortunately, they didnt. Hopefully Rustan's have some so I can compare if the prices are aligned with those that are being sold online.

This is me at 23 weeks!
