98 days to go!!!

yep, less than a hundred days to go and as i zoom out into a big mommy (literally!), my feeling of excitement to see my baby boy very, very soon is getting quite big as well. if before, i have been so obsessed with wedding planning, now i am getting obsessed with christening and even first birthday planning!! haha, talk about being futuristic!!! =)

aside from the party ideas, i am also on the look-out for after-birth plan ideas. this is what i have so far:

on the day my baby's born, buy the newspaper of the day both in UAE and philippines
baby's first photo with mom and dad
a scrapbook to document all the dates of his firsts... date he first crawl, date of his first tooth, date he first walk, date he first talk, first smile, first laugh....etc.
have a monthly footprint, a monthly celebration of his birth

as for his christening, i am now planning the event which starts of with a color motiff of blue and white, the clothes that the guests should wear. oh i do hope, they comply though. or else, no compliance, no entry...haha. of course, it should be a family and friends affair, solemn and memorable. i'll have the guests fill-up a wish card and a photo of the guests with my little boy. truly a day where everyone will say, "Thank heaven for little boys"! :)

oh well, still a long way to go... on the other hand, i am now beginning to buy my baby's things. i have quite a number of onesies and shirts already. hubby said that onesies aren't advisable for newly born. so, i might ask my sister to bring shirts with side ties instead.

i now have a baby bag, some feeding bottles, crib toy, brushes... so far, the only thing i am missing for now is the crib/playpen itself as my officemate pledge to give me a stroller and bathtub. =)
