Newborn Photo shoot @ home

Since I got pregnant I haven’t been taking pictures, not even with Alyssa so when baby no 2 was out I felt excited to get hold of the camera once again and maybe try out a professional looking shots. I am not into photography and I guess my pictures were okay not really that good haha. I am desperate to have Sophia’s newborn pictures at 2 weeks and with the help of Alyssa an my husband Mark, we did it. We bought a laundry basket to put her in, added a bunch of blankets, I used Alyssa’s headpiece too and a baby bonnet and voila, instant photo shoot at home. We have more ideas in mind, of course one with mommy and daddy and big sister too so you’ll be seeing more as we go along.

Now back to my online Christmas shopping for some of Alyssa’s classmates and teachers. I’m having quite a hard time thinking what to get for the boys so I’ll probably buy duncan yoyo since every boys would love a yoyo, I think we can never go wrong with a yoyo.

So, without further ado,  Baby May Sophia Isabella

Our 2nd baby girl!

sisters.....

I was going through ereader and tablet sites looking for the best ereader for my hubby and daughter Alyssa, which they will share of course. I haven’t thought of anything to give to him yet so I was browsing online realizing that I haven’t post anything about our precious 2nd baby girl. So here you go….the best early Christmas present for our family, our precious baby girl MAY SOPHIA ISABELLA born November 29, 2011 @ 6:35 pm, Croydon University Hospital weighing 2.715 kg and 47 cm.

Mommy’s Lullabies

You don’t know much of anything,
But I guess that can’t be helped,
You’re new to this big, expansive world,
And you don’t even know yourself!

There is so much to learn,
And so much time,
But just listen softly,
While I tell you this rhyme.

It’s quite all right,
To just close your eyes,
And listen to the sound,
Of mommy’s lullabies.

More Reasons to Breastfeed!

Alyssa asked me if we can get her and the baby a matching outfit for the holiday season and of course I’d love that idea too. Then I chance upon some graphic tees that will look really cute on my 2 daughters. And while I’m on it, I was also reading through a bunch of sites about breastfeeding. Baby number 2 will be here next month and so I was preparing myself to breastfeed. Alyssa was a breastfed baby too and I’ll do it all over again, no questions asked. We’ve heard the benefits of breastfeeding quite often and listed down a few that I really liked. Here’s to all the other moms out there who chose to breastfeed their babies!

• They say breastfed babies smell fantastic
• Breastfed babies get fewer cavities.
• Breast milk is free
• No bottles to clean
• More sleep for Mom, Dad and Baby
• Breastfeeding provides the perfect nutrition for our babies
• They say breastfeeding decreases a mother’s risk for breast cancer
• Breastfeeding is associated with higher IQ
• Breast milk is easier to digest than that of a formula
• Breast milk will never ever be recalled
• Less equipment to buy, store and clean
• Breast milk is the perfect food for a sick baby
• Breastfed babies requires fewer doctor visits
• Breast milk tastes better than formula
• Breast milk is always at the right temperature
• Breastfeeding protects our babies from diseases
• Breastfeeding helps mothers lose weight
• This is what our breasts were designed for!
