Expectant Mom on our 2nd Baby


It's a boy! After a 9-month journey of carrying our second baby, I'm still exhilarated to see the new member of our family. Before we go to the hospital, we packed the following: 

  • Baby's things
    • 1 piece of Baby's suit
    • 1 piece of bonnet
    • 4 pieces of diapers
    • 10 pieces of baby bottles
    • Formula milk (to follow)

  • Mommy's things
    • 1 going-out dress
    • 4 pieces of panties
    • 1 pack of maternity pads

  • Daddy's things
    • Phil health papers
    • Extra clothes
    • Pen
    • Dishwashing paste
    • Snacks

Although, my husband not telling me what 's the name of our baby, still I waited until I deliver the baby. I was awake the whole time of the delivery until I was sent to the recovery room. I heard my baby's first cry before they brought him to the nursery. Then, after 4 hours in the recovery room, I was sent to my hospital room.

My husband greeted me with excitement and he's with our eldest son. And yes, he filled-out the form for our baby's birth certificate and he showed me the name, and we're both happy. The nursery was still open, and they visited our baby and took a photo to show me because I'm still not fully recovered. Relatives visited me, and my sister also. We stayed at the hospital for about 3 days. Baby's pediatrician visited us and she said our baby is in full term and all looks good, his weight of about 3.6 kilos is okay, and given us the formula milk.

As soon as we settled the hospital bills, we were ready to go home. And going home with our baby on hand would be a new journey. The baby gives joy to us and we were very happy.
