Hi Skyler,

Mommy and Daddy have been shopping frantically for you, little Skyler. We decided that we had been going around checking out the products long enough to know what we want and we have finally paid for and received some of the stuff that you'll need.

We've gotten you a playpen to sleep in, a stroller, a steriliser, some milk bottles and some other stuff. We got the playpen and stroller from this place called "Baby Kingdom". Actually, the playpen is from Mommy's Mommy - your Maternal Grandma - and the stroller is from Mommy's Brother - your Uncle Victor! You must remember to thank them ok? =)

The playpen is the bigger version that they have. It's got cute little pictures of bears all around the top. They were having an offer on it so we got some extra stuff to go with it. We hope you'll enjoy sleeping in it for a while.

The stroller is one that I think I've mentioned before. It's from the "Lucky Baby" range made by a Korean company called "Capella". We chose the blue coloured one as we like it more than the other colours. It's got the works, little baby. We can move the handle-bar forward and backward so that you can either look at us as we push you around or you can look forward (away) from us. It's also got a full cover so that not so much sun will get you in the eyes when we're outside. It's also got this cute trick where all four wheels can turn at the same time! Most strollers can only turn the two front wheels at the same time. The idea is that we'll be more manoeuvrable in tight spaces.

These items were delivered to us and Mommy suggested that we set them all up so that we could be sure that they were all ready for you! After setting them up, we took them apart again as they were just so big and took up so much space. We've put them aside, Skyler, just waiting for you to use them.

We also got a steam steriliser that's meant to be used in the microwave oven. We were wondering whether to get an electric one instead but we decided that the one we bought would be more useful after you stop using the bottles. We can then steam other stuff in the microwave when we don't have to steam your bottles anymore. And are we prepared with bottles - we have 8 big bottles and two small ones! All of them just waiting for you to use!

We were also on the verge of buying a car seat for you but everybody says that we need to test the seat in the car before buying one as not all car seats fit in all types of cars. So, we decided to wait until we could test it before buying. We finally decided on this seat by "Britax". The model is "First Class Si". This seat was exclusively brought in by this maternity shop called "Mothercare". We got the ladies at the Causeway Point outlet to bring the seat to our car for us to see if it would fit. We were convinced that there would not be any problems because the "Britax" website said that it would fit in our car model. You can't imagine our surprise and partial disappointment when it couldn't fit nicely. The seat belt was too short!

The Sales Girl, Angela, told us that there was another model that was available that was considered the best that they'd seen. She told us to go down to the Kendang Kerbau Hospital outlet to take a look. We agreed as we were going there for our lessons on how to take care of you.

When we dropped by the "Mothercare" outlet, we were very impressed with the car seat. It was made by Concord. The model is "Ultimate Racer". It was very plush. The seat cover was very comfortable and the colour was quite pleasing. Mommy and I liked it a lot. Anyway, we asked the ladies there to test it in our car. However, after trying it out, we realised that it could not properly in the car either. The seat belt was once again too short. It was so unfortunate because they were having a good offer on the seat and it was the most comfortable seat that we'd seen thus far. Oh well...

We'll be looking for an infant car seat for you instead, Skyler, as it should fit you nicely and it should also be able to go into the car without any difficulty. We'll see how it goes. :)

You're really kicking Mommy a lot and it's very painful for Mommy. Try not to kick so hard, okay? Let Mommy rest a bit more. Mommy's also got cramps and pains all over her body because of your growing size. So, please help Mommy to move around and not give her more pain than necessary, okay?

It's already Week 27, Skyler. Only about 13 more weeks to go and you'll be out here with us. We're very excited. Please be healthy and strong.

We love you!

Mommy and Daddy
