bumps & mums babywearing

bumps & mums weekend poster

last Saturday i dragged my friends Aien and Noriza to the Bumps & Mums weekend held at Bangsar Village II. i wanted to attend the babywearing talk at 2.30pm. Sarah would be meeting us there as well. Noriza was already started on her long holiday and wanted to shop for baby stuff, and since we haven't met up all four of us together like this in ages, so we decided to drop by for the talk, if even for a while.

saw Iza there with her baby and hubby, although i don't think she knows who i am. duh. familiar faces included Liza of Snuggbaby (i just love how she wears her baby, sungguh bergaya =P), Jess of Peekaroobaby (the main speaker for the talk), Farid of Mei's Mei Tai, and a couple of others, just to name a few. we arrived just as the babywearing talk was starting. me and Aien registered at the front door and each got a goodie bag. haha. Noriza, as what a normal expecting mommy would do, made a beeline for the restrooms, lol. i wasn't really focused on the talk however. i had emailed Joanne a few days earlier asking if she had any more Littlepods sling in XS size left (i still tak puas hati my Littlepods sling can't fit me) and she said that she would bring them to the meet so i wanted to try it out. i also wanted to check out her new SSC.

Joanne's SSC L-R: Stripes, Carnival, Zen, Earth, Groovy

Dayana wasn't that keen on the SSC, i think it's a new experience for her since she's always been in a sling facing outwards before this, hehe. i find the SSC really nice, comfy and secure (i won't need to worry about her leaning too far out and accidentally falling out of the carrier, haha). it's all buckles so you wouldn't need to worry about the long straps of a traditional mei tai =). i also tried the Littlepods sling in XS size, which confirmed that my S is loose for me, bahhhh. i was thinking if i wanted to go ahead and purchase one anyway but the only available colors of XS were navy blue, light blue and dark brown. sigh. i wanted red or fuschia. does anyone know if they're still available in that size anywhere else? =P

after the talk was over me, Aien and Noriza headed off to Pyramid for lunch at Thai Thai, Noriza's treat =) (yey thanks Noriza!). then we went for a power baby shopping spree at Jusco. i say 'power' as in Aien simply throwing in the baby essentials in the shopping basket for Noriza, with Noriza carefully selecting the outfits for her baby. haha. i reached home wayyy later than the time promised. sigh. i didn't manage to buy anything that day because i was pressed for time. but i did see a yellow outfit which caught my eye. i think i'll go back for it later. Dayana is rapidly growing out of her current sizes and she'll need a new wardrobe makeover soon.

anyway, i hope Noriza wasn't bored at the babywearing talk earlier. Sarah and i noticed that she looked a bit bored sitting at the back of the room (oops), looking sorta like abandoned in some way (but not intentionally okay. huhu). one month to go and counting. i know she's excited. she's been waiting forever for the moment to come. i hope all goes well with her =).

a few hours of hanging out together just isn't enough. i wish we had more time to spend together. even better, i wish the whole gang was around to hang together. whennnnn, my friends? whennnn? =P

the most stupidest thing of all was that i totally forgot to bring my camera! huarghhhhhhhhhhhh... no use crying over spilt milk now. anyway, i forced Sarah to take a photo of the four of us with her camera phone =P. there's seven of us in the photo, if you can count =). too bad Husna wasn't in the photo. shy shy pulak... see the cheeky baby trying to ngorat my little one? LOL.

p/s. congrats Eiwa on your engagement! sorry we couldn't be there, love. details please! =)
