i just love baby-friendly places! they make diaper-changing easier, and provide you with a comfortable place to feed your baby, especially for breastfeeding moms who prefer a sense of privacy. for me, this makes my life easier as i don't have to bring EBM around in my diaper bag and worry about how to warm it up for Dayana should she request for it. although some older built places didn't provide facilities such as these so there was a time where i had to change Dayana's dirty diaper in the car. luckily we had those scented plastic bags to keep the smell at bay (later i threw away the diaper but i kept the plastic bag for future use. sayang lah! those plastics are darn expensive! =P).
last Saturday two weeks ago, Megat and Hasmah came over and we had breakfast at Old Town White Coffee. we brought Dayana along. i just love bringing her out for outings these days =). later we went to MV, along with mil. Dayana is getting more agreeable with her stroller these days. she would doze off in her stroller after awhile. i bring Mister Spidey along for the ride. she does tend to get fussy sometimes when she's awake, but i don't have to carry her as often as before. anyway, Significant Other bought a bunch of stuff in MV. i only bought the sweater i mentioned about previously =D. when it was time for feeding (judging by Dayana's level of crankiness) i used the baby room in Jusco. there was another family in the room while i was in there. at the time i felt so glad i bought a nursing cover from Fabulous Mom (promote, promote =P. mil had wondered what kind of cloth was that when she first saw it. haha). i thought the funny smell i was smelling at the time was from the other baby. actually after nursing i found out it was coming from Dayana. she pooped *faint*. later mil treated us to Chilli's. i tried the lamb shoulder Fahmi was raving about (he's so into chilli's it's kinda scaryyy). it was kinda yummy. i would've enjoyed it more if i didn't have to juggle holding Dayana and eat at the same time though. i also nursed Dayana in the restaurant under the nursing cover =P. luckily it was kinda dark too, so i guess people didn't really notice. i didn't mind. all the better if people didn't notice!
so that was my first experience using a baby room and nursing in public. the next day we went to MV again because we wanted to exchange an item. this time i used isetan's baby room. they had a separate area curtained off for nursing, something like a dressing room, so you had a better sense of privacy as opposed to Jusco's baby room where they provided only couches. during school holidays i notice the baby room is always occupied with some family or another (along with babies and toddlers in tow). hehe. i never noticed that many strollers being pushed around in shopping malls. it's only when you have your own stroller to bring your little one around that you notice the existence of others!
the only thing i dislike about using strollers is that you have to wait for those slow moving elevators to get to different floors. and when the elevators finally arrive, they're full. so you waste time just waiting for elevators to arrive. unless of course you would take the risk of using the escalators (escapators), which i'm not really sure if you could do that or not. i think i should learn how to use my Littlepods sling properly. i bought this ages ago but never had the opportunity to use it. i wanted it in red, but they only had my size in blue =(. two days ago (Saturday) i tried putting Dayana in the sling because i wanted to get her things ready to send her to Bangi and she refused to be play by herself in her crib. relying on Significant Other to look after her was hopeless because he was too engrossed with his PS3 game, Warhawk. at first Dayana was a bit reluctant to be put in the sling because her Mommy wasn't skilled at getting her in yet, but after a while she seemed okay with being in there. at least, she didn't seem to complain. to me she looks a bit squished in there. mil was afraid she would be squished too. haha. i really need someone to tell me if her positioning is right or not. anyway, practice makes perfect, right? =P
oh yes, i cut my hair yesterday! eGad! i almost cried when i saw the thick locks of my hair on the floor. but oh well. i needed a change in hairstyle anyway. now without weight, my hair has become abit untamed and frizzy. i was thinking if i should straighten my hair again. i don't seem to favor the poker-straight look so much anymore. maybe i'll just highlight it or something. red perhaps. what do you think?
happy birthday Nizar! my longest and dearest best friend ever. i can't believe we've known each other that long, huh? i hope you haven't thrown away that piece of chalk. hahahhahahahaha
