It's still amazing thinking about the amount of time spent on preparing for the arrival of this child. 'Babies R Us', the registry, worrying about the color of the onesie, the Hospital tour, the choice of the pediatrician. It's a lot of work ... but then again, it's also a great experience. As time goes by I'm getting more excited about her coming. Speaking of the baby registry. For those who are interested ... just hop on to www.babiesrus.com ... go to the registry and look up Anh's registry (Hong is her last name) :-).
We've been consumed with DVD's such as "Learn and Laugh About Childbirth" and "The Happiest Baby On The Block". What average person would know what the hell a 'mucus plug' is? Or how to trigger a child's calming reflex. My clients have been telling me that there's no way you can prepare for what is coming. Maybe we shouldn't. But then again, no baby has ever gotten injured of a little preparation by its parents to be.
Things planned for this weekend ... probably another trip to a local baby store, me raiding Circuit City (an early X-mas sale because of the Chapter 11 they just filed), setting appointments for Anh's preganancy studio pictures. All in all, a lot of things to do. But enjoying ... at least, daddy is excited about his coming Vegas trip during Thanksgiving.

Dear Anh and Minh,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Having a baby is a wonderful experience and it is great that you are preparing yourselves ahead of time. Thank you for mentioning "The Happiest Baby on The Block" DVD.
Watching "The Happiest Baby" before and after the baby is born is the key in being prepared to calm your baby and boost sleep. And sharing it with inlaws and nannies helps them be great baby calmers, too.
All babies cry, but most new parents have little experience soothing them. Dr. Karp's techniques have helped thousands of parents to calm and soothe their newborns and immediately add 1-3 hours to their baby’s sleep!
Dr. Karp strongly recommends use of our Happiest Baby "Super Soother" sleep Sounds CD. It has specially engineered tracks of white noise that can help calm a fussy baby fast and instantly boost sleep. Most parents love this CD because they can control the volume, use it in the car and it is super easy to take along on trips to grandma's! This CD will be like an auditory “teddy bear” to your baby. And, it can be used well into toddler years!
We wish you all the best!
