More Jacob Stuff

We've bought a few more things for Jacob these past couple of weeks. We're slowly but surely ticking off things in my (imaginary! :D) list.

Wisemans Ferry

We spent our babymoon/belated anniversary getaway at Wisemans Ferry. We were there from 16 Oct til 18 Oct. We didn't do anything at all. I slept more than half the time. The 'highlight' of our holiday was dinner at Riverbend Restaurant. The town was so tiny. We were as relaxed as relax can be. Our mobile phones didn't even have any reception the whole time we were there. Good thing the hotel has free wifi and Foxtel.

Here are some photos:

the local supermarket was just a tiny, tiny shop

Fisher-Price i-Glide

The Fisher-Price i-Glide that we bought at the baby show was delivered this morning. It's good that the courier delivered it to our door (we live on the 3rd floor) because it's quite heavy. I've yet to open the box. I'm waiting for my husband to come home so we can open it together. :)

 

MCNs Lot 5 - Sunbaby Diapers

Jacob's 5th lot of MCNs was delivered this morning. This time I ordered from Sunbaby Diapers. It's a company based in Shanghai, China. I ordered 12 nappies + 12 inserts. They're relatively cheap ($60) and came with free shipping. :) I'm happy with the different prints I ordered. So far, Jacob's nappies are all different. No identical nappies at all. I like it that way. Hehe.

Notice the light blue nappy in the picture above? It's small because I snapped it to the smallest size possible. I just wanted to see if it would be small enough for a newborn. Well, I have no idea. Haha! I guess I'll have to wait for Jacob and see. 

Speaking of waiting for Jacob, I now have ONLY 99 days til my EDD! How awesome is that?! So exciting. :)


Jacob's nappy count as at 13 October: 30 >> might purchase some more, just because! :D

The Baby and Toddler Show Sydney

Last Sunday my husband and I went to The Baby & Toddler Show at Darling Harbour. We decided to leave our car at the train station near our house and just take the train to and from the city. It was raining that day and I made the wrong clothing choice in deciding to wear a dress. :( Good thing I thought to wear footless tights underneath. I was freezing during our walk from Central Station to Darling Harbour and from Darling Harbour to Town Hall Station! Thank God I didn't get sick.

Tickets normally cost $20 each but we got 2 complimentary tickets. I got one from my Mother To Be bounty bag and the other I think from Babies 'R' Us. Bottom line, we didn't pay for entry and that is a pretty good deal to me! Hehe. The doors open at 9AM but we were told that those with complimentary tickets get to go in at a later time of 9:30. But when we got there at around 9:15 we were able to go in anyway. Upon entry, my husband and I were given empty tote bags and vouchers for free Bio-Oil. The tote bags proved useful with all the free samples we got throughout the day! More on that later.

The first purchase we made was the Fisher-Price i-Glide Cradle 'n Swing. It normally retails for $329.95 but Fisher-Price had it on special just for the show. We bought it for just $69.99 including delivery. Pretty awesome deal right?! The show's facebook page announced this deal a couple of days prior to the opening day. I showed it to my husband and he immediately said NO. He said it's too big for our tiny house. I didn't push the idea. I knew I would get the right time to do my convincing. *evil grin* What do you know, the first stall we went to was Fisher-Price's. The cradle wasn't too big at all! An assistant showed us a demonstration of it's features and from there it wasn't too hard to convince my husband to buy Jacob one. Success!!! :D

The only other purchase we made was a Snotty One. It's a battery operated nasal aspirator and we got it for $40. My husband was the one who really, really wanted to buy it but he also says he'll be so happy if we don't get the need to use it, EVER. :)

Now onto the free samples. Most of the samples we got were different brands of disposable nappies. I will be using cloth nappies for Jacob but since all the nappies that I bought are one-size, they might still be too big for a newborn. For this reason, I'm happy to start with disposables. :)

My husband and I really enjoyed the show. It also served as a bonding time for us. After the show we went to have our belated anniversary early dinner at PANCAKES on the Rocks. Yummy food! It was a great day indeed. :)
