The big purchase for J2.

Decided that its time to stop procrastinating and start the preparations for the arrival of baby J2!
The thing about having the second child of the same gender, means we kind of save a fair bit, as many of the things that we bought for the first kid, can be reused. Toys,  playpen, accessories that are still in good conditions are generally reusable.
So we only have to crack our brains on a few things that needed to check and make sure that it is still in good condition.
The first thing is none other than the breast pump! I must say that I am one who is very supportive and pro breast feeding baby, not just because of the benefits but also of the convenience when we are out.
Remember 3 years ago, I had wanted so much to purchase the Freestyle model, but in the end, decided to settle for a lower end one, because I was not sure at all if I will persevere  and succeed. I think i have a small success then, because at least I manage to feed the baby wholly on breast milk for 6 months. So the Mini electric Plus did serve me well for that 6 months.
breast pump This time round, under the good influence of my good friend, who told me I should have a good investment, since this might be my last pregnancy, in case I do not go for #3. And even if go for #3, this is even better, because it will mean higher economies of scale! And so, I decided that I should heed the good advice and decided to place the order online for a US imported set, which gives me a $300 savings compared to the local retail promotion price! Picture
And this is my first big purchase for Baby J2! Now, I tell myself I must be even more determined to feed J2 for 1 year at least!!! :P
In the next few weeks, apart from preparing all my handover work list, I must also prepare the rest of the stuff, just in case J2 decides to pop out earlier like the brother, who arrive at the end of week 36, which means 4 weeks away!!!!
