final round of baby shopping

Just came home from my final round of baby-shopping. Today's just "the very basic items" like special bottle detergent, bottle brush, cotton balls, cotton buds, wipes, waterproof/changing mat (i chose a cheap $5 foldable plastic mat i can double-up for use outdoors), baby powder (i chose a more ex no-mess roll-on type) and nail scissors. Wondered if i also need to buy a waterproof mat for putting above the mattress (underneath the bedsheet). Will a towel be better coz less hot for the baby??? Hmm...but decided to ask my friend first.

I think in the past, our parents just used normal detergents for our baby milk bottles/clothes. Now, parents are so paranoid about getting the "right one" specially formulated for BABIES!!! ;p

No wonder baby-shopping always makes money slip away by the hundreds... Hope this is really the final final round.

O...still need to stock up on disposable diapers! My sis' friend say just buy PETPET which is cheaper for day, and use the better/more expensive ones for night. Good good, save $$$. ;)


A friend just told me to pack my hospital bag NOW!

Need to bring breastpump (coz i heard some hospitals charge $60/day for using theirs)??? Need to wash my pajamas first??? O no, havent wash the mittens, and i still have some missing items!!! Ahhh...

Baby Joel, this is your paranoid Mom speaking.
You dont pop out too soon okay?
Wait for me to be ready...and your Daddy to come back.
