steps towards parenthood
Baby's approximately 75 days old. By now, she'd have fingernails and toenails! Imagine that!! All this on a fetus the size of a lipstick!! Another milestone is that Baby would have started kicking and
In the next couple of weeks, Baby's expected to double in size. By then, Mae's tummy gonna start showing and we're gonna have to get her a new wardrobe. In a rare moment of leisurely activity, we actually made it to Jusco over the weekend. We had gone to get a pair of flat-soled slippers since comfort will be the top priority for the coming months. So there we were walking around this spanking new Jusco in Kepong, when we came to Mothercare- a fairly uppity maternal-fashion boutique. We go in and Mae felt weird since she didn't quite look pregnant yet. And so we left empty handed! Besides, the footwear there wasn't much to shout about.
Anyway, we ended up in Hush Puppies instead. She picks out these really nice red slippers/sandals. I pointed out to Mae that they weren't exactly flats but there's no talking to that woman when she's in throes of vanity! I gotta admit that I thought they were nice too but I worried that the one-and-a-half inch heels might be bad for her back. She insists that they're very comfortable and perfectly safe.
I didn't buy the story. I bought the sandals. I thought (quietly, to myself) they were a little pricey but at this stage, who cares what I think. I'm not the one who has to carry a baby for nine months! :)
the scared husband in action... hehehe...
ReplyDeletebuy her scholls : good for support.
Yeah! We wanted to get Scholls but they didn't have an outlet in that Jusco! But I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a new pair soon since only today I asked her if they were comfy and she said, "OK laaah... but..." :)
ReplyDeleteHaving a new addition to the family feels strange yet exciting, doesn't it? The shopping trips to babywear departments and mothercare products tend to turn out quite interesting, though. Perhaps yours will be a Merdeka baby. ;)
ReplyDeletehehehe....
ReplyDeleteu might want to consider simple slippers that she can slip on easily with thick soles. even cheap ones at bata will do. her feet will start swelling quite badly that it might not fit in the shoes above.
nice blog! how exciting... blow by blow account of a pregnancy... from the father's perspective. I like! : )
ReplyDeleteYeah, Strizzt - we're hoping for a Merdeka Baby. Apparently, the government gives gifts to Merdeka babies! :)
ReplyDeleteWe recently saw a friend with horribly swollen feet!! Now we're reconsidering what shoes to buy! I'll take your advice, Wena and go for Bata! :D
Thanks Renee! This is all so alien to me now but it's enjoyable all the same!
Hush Puppies are very comfortable, so are Scholl, but really, Hush Puppies look nicer ;)
ReplyDeleteAt least let Mae look pretty while preggers :)
my stepmum's doc advised her against buying hush puppies and scholl to resolve some feet issues she had. he recommended another brand found in the market. will get back to you on the brand. after i check with her first for the name.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, meesh. You could be Mae's best friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Wena. Will appreciate it!
