Maybe its because I’m expecting Baby #3 any day now but boy oh boy can new baby gear get me excited! This time it’s from one of my favorite go-to brands Britax.

PREGNANCY DIARY: Large and in Charge #FYF

By Suzanne Chan on March 8, 2013 / cuteness, deals, fashion, pregnancy, review / 1 Comment

One thing I learned this pregnancy was that being pregnant, didn’t mean I had to surrender myself to the frump as I had done in previous pregnancies. Maternity fashion has definitely come a long way and doesn’t have to break the bank either. I still cringe remembering the $195 True Religion pregnancy jeans I just had to have and only wore twice. One of my favorite brands I discovered this pregnancy is Seraphine Maternity, from the UK and now available here state side. While my brains been a little fuzzy with putting together outfits that don’t make the fashion police

PREGNANCY DIARY: SMH – The Flu x 2!

By Suzanne Chan on March 2, 2013 / health, parenting, pregnancy / 1 Comment

31 weeks and counting, 5 weeks of bed rest (that’s it!?!) – I’ve definitely got cabin fever. I have not left the house since the little man got released from the hospital for little more a few doctors visits. Some would say that’s a good thing, I’m being a compliant patient and for my husband, I have been most productive this week lying in bed. I’ve checked many things off my TO DO list. At the same time, just as fast as I’ve checked things off, I’ve also added to the list just as fast. Isn’t that just so annoying?

PREGNANCY DIARY: Fevers, Flu and Febrile Seizures

By Suzanne Chan on February 26, 2013 / epiphanies, health, moments, parenting, pregnancy / Leave a comment

30 weeks and counting, 4 weeks of bed rest under the belt - I’ts hard to believe it’s been a week since our most frightening experience as a parent.

Yesterday was his first fever-free day and the first-time I could finally breathe again in a week filled constantly and aggressively fighting his high temperatures which hovered around 102°F rectally regardless of any intervention, with M in our bed every

It always amazes me how much things have changed from one child to another. Now in preparation for Baby #3, I took a slow waddle of every nook and cranny at our neighborhood baby stores and here are just a few of my latest finds. Infantino Stretch – When I saw this all I could think of was where was this my whole life? You’ve heard me preach from the pulpit about
