Look who got a mom card!

Baby Company Mom Card

Yay! I’m official a mom cardholder! This is a loyalty card from Baby Company and I’m so excited with a lot of perks. Imagine earning points while shopping plus the discounts every time I shop for my baby.

Bags are ready!

I am on my 37^th week and on official maternity leave! My hospital bag is ready for the hospital trip and we’re just waiting for Baby Kurt’s GO signal. Tita Linus even lend her car for easy transportation on the “Big day.” Every night, hubby and I’ve been talking to baby Kurt and telling her how excited we are to see her and that she can come out anytime if she wants to! Wanna know what’s on my bag?

For Me:

• Medicines and NSD Supplies prescribed by the hospital. At the Veterans Medical Memorial Center, they requires patient to buy their own medicines and other NSD supplies because their supplies are exclusive for Veterans and soldiers.
• Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, tissue, alcohol.
• Hand and Bath Towel
• Bathrobe
• Maternity Pads
• Underwear
• Extra Clothes 
•  My favorite Massage Oil in case I need a massage to relieve pain.
• Birth Certificate Template. Thanks to my friend, Kris Joy, for sharing the idea of preparing a mock birth certificate. This will be so helpful for sure. No need for nurses/attendant to interview me while I’m in pain and less committing errors on the spelling of my baby’s name and other information needed (fingers crossed)
• My Philhealth Record provided by my employer
• Admission Order Slip from my OB

For Kurt:

• 2 pcs Onesies
• 2 pcs Hooded blanket
• 2 pcs Binders
• 2 pairs of Mittens
• 2 pcs Beanie (bonnet)
• 2 pairs of Booties
• Baby oil
• Baby Soap
• Diapers (newborn)

Whew! Everything’s ready. Give your GO Signal Baby Kurt, mum's ready :)

Oh it's a girl!

Beanie finally showed up on her 3^rd ultrasound. Lola Luz, Lola Carmen and Daddy were all present and excited during the ultrasound. We had it at Prime Health at SM Marilao. (shhh I think they have the cheapest package when it comes to 3D Ultrasound.) Look at these cutie pictures below:

Beanie simply smiling

Yawning..hmmm got tired or got bored? LOL

Awwww thumb sucking...such a good girl!

Lovely, isn’t it! Now, Beanie’s official name will be Kirsten Kezzia and we’ll just simply call her Kurt. I personally picked the name Kirsten which means “follower of Christ,” it’s actually a Dutch, English, French, German and Scandinavian form of “Christine.” Then, we added Kezzia (hubby and I actually argued about which spelling to adapt - Keziah or Kezzia, ok hubby won!) I named her after the second of the three daughter of Job (from the Bible Book of Job) after his suffering. Her nickname is a bit tricky, her nick was supposed to be KIRK (KIR from KIRsten and K from Kezzia) however, my cousins’ son was named Kirk, so to avoid confusions we decided to call her Kurt instead of KIRK.  Surprisingly, when I checked the meaning of Kurt, it’s a variant of “Conrad” which is my father’s name who died when I was almost three months pregnant.
