Wahhhh… I feel just like that with my big tummy!

Whenever I stand in front of the mirror, I’m getting bigger and bigger it seems. My Little Nicholas is invading my whole tummy! Baby here, baby there, baby everywhere! (I sound like I’m complaining when I feel so happy and tickled everytime my little angel moves, hihihi!)

But I do hope I’ll get my body back after Little Nicholas is born. I was afraid I’m gonna stay LARGE this way. Ouch! That will really hurt everytime I see my image in the mirror! Hahaha! My doctor assured me anyway that I’ll lose weight easily when I start breastfeeding my little angel and as well as get so physically hyped taking care of him. Things will be back to normal as well. Sigh! That’s a relief!

I shall have to find a good exercise program after giving birth. I wish I’ll have enough time to exercise too. I actually love going to the gym, I like taking up dancing classes as well (also in the gym). Hmmmm… have to shed off these extra pounds. Fast!

Wish me luck! I needed that. Hahaha!

Mommy came across this article on child-proofing your home without neglecting style and home fashion as well. I was rather “angered” with this image wherein a baby is taking his bath with all the dirty plates in the kitchen sink. I just can’t accept that my Little Nicholas will be bathed that way too or will be forced to live in a house where he’s not really safe to roam around. Tsk! Look at that image? Wouldn’t it break your heart too? Sigh…

I’m not really sure if my room is already child-proofed as well. But many child safety experts recommend simple child-proofing steps that one can take to make one’s home safe for babies, and without throwing away style and all other things one loves to be at her home. As Mommies, we should be responsible of these things and we should realize that sometimes, danger can come in beautifully crafted packages.

Like those seemingly “innocent” and sweet smelling candles that provide ambiance and amazing fragrant — these are serious fire hazard sources as well. Simple ornamental trunks and storage chests may cause trouble for kids as well. They may crawl inside and get trapped, now that’s really scary! Another thing, safety latches and locks for drawers and cabinets must be considered as well. Kids might explore on those drawers and those drawers might accidentally fall on them. Ouch! Or they might get their hands on dangerous substances. Safety gates must also be installed on stairs (not a problem for me I guess, my Little Nicholas and I only have one room, hehehe). Smoke detectors must be installed as well. (Now this, I don’t think I can afford for now). And yes, those safety nettings to prevent kids from falling from windows, decks and landings. Outlet covers must also be considered. Kids might venture on to it and might get electrocuted. (Oh no!)

Hmmm… I’m sure there are many more child-proofing devices and strategies out there. I know I didn’t cover everything. Ahhh… I just hope my little room is safe enough for Little Nicholas. Our little haven is indeed little, and I hope it will do for both of us now (and including the Nanny when Mommy gets one, I wonder where she’ll be sleeping, gosh!)

Hmmmm.. what do you think?
