Of baby stuff: Doona carseat

bismillahirrahmanirrahim...



Alhamdulillah now I'm in my 2nd trimester.

Muntah-muntah dah takde, tapi still ada mual-mual. Plus, pelupa ya amat bab makan supplement. I mean, I don't remember at all yang aku dah makan ke belum Pramilet tu. Should I take it again? End up aku tak amik la... risau lak overdose (is there such a thing?)

Anyway, since I am now 84kg ish... Aku kena check up kat KKIA every 2 weeks. High risk cos obese, berat naik banyak in 2 weeks, ada UTI lah, mak bapak ade history diabeters n hypertension bla bla... So... Hm.

Rase macam lama tak preggy, bila preggy balik memang excited but at the same time penatnya nak tunggu abis pregnant. Lol

Let see...

Razin, March 2011
Raul, May 2014 (masa Razin dah 3 tahun 2 bulan)
Raiq, July 2015 (masa Raul umur 1 tahun 2 bulan)
Baby no. 4, April 2019 (masa Raiq umur 3 tahun 8 bulan)

So definitely baby no. 4 ni jarak paling jauh le kann hehehe... Raiq almost 4. Aku lak umur 33 tahun masa melahirkan nanti (birthday in Aug ok)

Though aku tak sure la akan beranak bulan April or March. April kalau 40 weeks. Tapi ni pregnancy ke-4 and aku dah 2x czer. Of cos if beranak kat hospital, kena czer gak le. So for czer usually doctor akan bagi tarikh awal dari due. If due aku 14th April, maybe aku beranak bulan 3 gak le kot.

Still have no idea what is the gender of the baby. But of course everyone in my family are hoping for a girl. Amin amin moga dimakbulkan.

As for me, I think this is going to be my last baby. 3x czer weh. Cuak sangat bila mengingatkan perut nak kena belah ni huuuu... Plus dah berumur. This pregnancy beza sangat dengan masa aku umur under 30.

So I'm going all out to try baby stuff yang aku tak pernah try with my other babies before.

For example, kali ni aku nak beli Doona carseat/stroller tu. Dulu-dulu tak jual cos suppliernya kat Singapore and aku malas nak order... Plus, harga dia kan mahal gilaaa. Bagi aku lah. For carseat dari infant yang harga almost 2k tu mahal bagiku.

Tapi sebab memikirkan anak dah nak masuk 4 org, larat ke aku nak biar ade carseat dalam kereta and additional stroller pulak dalam boot? Better aku guna carseat yang terus leh jadi stroller pastu. Kan jimat ruang?

Aku terpengaruh dengan Doona review dari Emily Harris. I even plan to buy the Essential Bag and use it as my handbag/diaper bag jer nanti. It comes with a changing mat okeh. So useful. Senang... leh sangkut kat stroller HAHA...

Haven't decided on the color yet. Most probably Grey or Beige cos warna hitam dah takde, discontinued. Grey senang, gender neutral and boleh let go senang sikit nanti hahaha.

I felt bad though that I've sold my 4moms Breeze playard. Huwaaaa nak beli baru mahal gilaaa... Hmmm takde baby cot lah nanti. Malas la nak beli. Plus, budak-budak dah besar, takde menempel atas katil dah. Bole la cosleep dengan aman, insya Allah.

Having this baby buatkan aku kembali jadi diri aku yang dulu-dulu. Yang gile baby gadgets... which is why aku jadi penjual barang baby haha. Elok je aturan Allah tu kan...

Early this year aku macam nak give up and gulung tikar je cos semangat dah kurang, sales pun tak macam dulu (economy is bad) bla bla... But now since preggy lagi ni aku semangat sikit nak study and order barang2 baby.

Sesiapa nak join kutu tu meh la join group Mama Panda Store kat FB. I'm a small bizz owner. Berniaga untuk kelangsungan hidup and bayar education for my kids je mostly. Your support is truly appreciated!

alhamdulillah...

Review Cat's Best Öko Plus Litter

bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Bought the 10L ones at RM46. 

Beli di Kedai My Pet Zone Sri Manjung

Aku rasa kedai ni je ade jual kat Manjung cos Top Pet Shop yang besar kat Sitiawan pun takde brand ni. Ade jual wood pallet lain...

Lola's pee. huahua

Jadi ball, senang nak remove.

Boleh terus humban masuk toilet and flushed it down.

Dah pakai almost a week now and I really like it! Tak berbau, mudah dikompos and paling penting, boleh flush masuk toilet. Kurang sampah. Though ada orang review diorang still buang cos takut toilet sumbat, but believe me, I don't think so. Sebab material dia dari serbuk kayu yang mengembang bila kena air. Memang senang hancur. Lagipun ni teknologi Jerman kot. Import dari Jerman. So aku yakin diorang dah buat research and study yang terbaik.

The downside?

1) BERSEPAH. Hahaha... sama jelah macam pakai kristal kot. Or maybe much worse? Sebab ni kepingan kayu... lagi sakit mata tengok dari butiran kristal. Haha... Sehari kena sapu 3x kat sangkar tempat dia melepas ni... 

2) COSTLY. Well, for me... a bit costly lah. Selalu pasir leh dapat dalam RM20 gitu seguni kecik...lasts for a month I think? Tapi ni 10L dah RM46 and aku tak pasti tahan sebulan ke tak. From the amount of waste yang kucing sepahkan, macam tak sampai sebulan abis 10L. Tu sekor kucing ye... Lola is 6 months old. Kalau kucing banyak, banyak taik? haaa jenuh hahahaha... 

Ape pun, we'll see berapa lama 'mampu' nak pakai benda alah ni. I hope for long. Cos aku suka kemudahan flush masuk jamban tu. Tak pening nak buang taik masuk plastik, pastu masuk tong sampah... Berbau gile tong sampah walaupun taiknye majlis bandaran dah angkut. Tau-tau jela taik kucing kan... busuk gile...

If flush masuk jamban memang settle la. Takde pencemaran bau langsung. Sangat kagum jugak dengan Öko Plus ni cos walaupn ada cebis-cebis kepingan kayu bertaik yang jatuh dari scoop (haritu Lola sakit, cirit-birit), still... the litterbox tak berbau langsung. ODORLESS. Ok, not exactly odorless.. ade bau kayu la... tapi of cos la better bau kayu dari bau tahi kucing kannnn... hahahaha

Will I recommend this to a friend?

DEFINITELY!

Love you, Lola!

Dah berisi aku tengok dia ni.

Ape taknya, diet RC Hair & Skin...

Pas habis yang trial pack tu nak bagi FIT32. 

Hopefully rasi la... tak sabar nak bagi gemok haha

alhamdulillah...

Of Pockit strollers and the coming Raya

bismillahirrahmanirrahim...



Yeay, lusa insya Allah kita Raya.

Aku baru balik dari mengepos barang ke Airpak Express and Poslaju. Malas nak call diorang suruh pick up kat kedai since kitorang pun nak tutup kedai awal today.

Lega sangat-sangat cos stock Pockit Plus strollers aku dah sampai semalam. Semalam jugak aku pos kat customer yang dah order sesiap di Shopee. Harini dah sampai barangnye kat customer. Alhamdulillah...

Pockit Plus strollers je ada.

Pockit Regular yang RM899 tu takde masuk dalam shipment kali ni.

Beza Pockit Plus ni ada recline sikit...

Warna Capri Blue. Cantik kan?

Kat dalam kotak disertakan resit and FREE RuMe Macro bag yang boleh jadi shopping bag or #PockitBag cos muat je stroller Pockit dalam bag tu... bag tu leh lipat-lipat jadi kecik macam dalam gambar. Senang nak sumbat dalam handbag or purse. Hehe...

Link if nak beli:

Dragonfire Red - https://shopee.com.my/product/5863182/295235778/

Capri Blue - https://shopee.com.my/product/5863182/152842606/

I have one of those RuMe bag myself walaupun aku takde Pockit stroller...

Sebab bag ni best!

Beg ni besar and tempat nak sandang kat bahu tu pun lebar, tak sakit bahu... selesa pakai.

Yang membezakan RuMe bag ni dengan other foldable nylon bag yang lain adalah material dia. 

Tahan and tak mudah tetas la jahitan dia...

Though I guess if lama-lama angkat benda berat memang akan dig shoulder la kan... tu normal...

Mine is in brown. I love it. 

RuMe bag ni made in korea tapi actually brand dari US.

The macro bag retails at RM45 a piece. Tapi Mama Panda bagi free if beli Pockit strollers secara cash/lumpsum! (if 2,3 bayar or kutu ada free travel bag jugak cuma bukan brand ni la hehe)

Ok enough about work.

Harini dah Jumaat and jalan memang sesak dengan kereta, orang balik beraya. Aku balik Beruas esok. Plannya nak balik petang ni, tapi aku busy kerja tak habis-habis... nak kemas homestay untuk orang masuk esok lagi bla bla bla... maka, esok pagi jela kita balik.

Tahun ni raya kat Beruas dulu then baru balik Pahang.

Aku pun tak sure balik Pahang hari raya ke berapa. Yang pasti, balik Lumut semula pada 30hb Jun. 3hb July dah kerja semula.

Blog post diakhiri dengan gambar dari luar jendela 'work station' aku pagi tadi.

Nampak berkabus bukit belakang rumah ni.

oh home sweet home =)

Well, that's all for now.

Laters baby. Ciao.

alhamdulillah...

Review stroller Phil & Teds Verve V3

bismillahirrahmanirrahim...


Pukul 1.20 pagi ni wei... tapi since takde keroje and takleh tido, aku nak review tentang stroller ni. Rajinnyeeee nak review stroller yang aku tak jual pun! HAHA... hampeh. Takpela sharing is caring.

Ni baru kali kedua stroller ni dibawak keluar and guna untuk strolling around hehehe

Sejarah pembelian stroller:-

a) Bought in March 2015 from US. Posted using USPS and arrived in Lumut 2 weeks later. First time beli barang cecah ribuan ringgit dari US. Aku confident barang sampai cos sebelum beli ni ade kawan FB dah beli dulu warna biru. Sampai barangnye. Lega haha. So baru lah aku order.

b) Peram tak pakai sampai baby lahir. Baby no.3 lahir 29 Julai 2015. Still tak pakai lagi until baby dh 2 bulan/abis pantang. Tu pun pergi Tesco je. =P

c) Stroller ni tak datang dengan adapters for Maxi Cosi carseats. Aku beli kemudian at RM190 kot? Lupe dah berapa... 

Phil & Teds Verve V3 in Cherry.

Comes with bumper bar and suncover for 2nd seat

(I think? cos it's a netting stuff I don't use, I just leave it at home)

Tapi kat gambar atas sekali tu aku tak pakai bumper bar since tempat cucuk tu 

diganti dengan adapter for Maxi Cosi carseat. Both items kalau tak pakai leh biar je kat stroller bila dah lipat. Tak ganggu pun...

Actually, before purchasing this stroller, I was considering another double/tandem stroller which is the Baby Jogger City Select double stroller.

TAPI sebab Baby Jogger tu seats dia tak boleh fold sekali and have to be taken out, then it is not an option lah. Cos I hate removing/disassembling strollers for a quick out and about. Moreover, I was usually alone and I can't have a stroller that needs some time to store in the boot.

So why did I buy the Phil & Teds Verve V3 stroller?

1. First and foremost, mesti boleh fold both seats altogether. Need to save space and time. Checked!

2. Big space for the 2nd seat. Yelah, yang duduk bawah tu kesian le kalau sempit kan. But no, it is spacious. My chubby abg sado (18 months) could fit just fine with plenty of leg room.

3. Can be used with Maxi Cosi carseats. Of course, since I'll be having an infant carseat too kan... Might as well put it on the stroller if I can. Checked.

Quite compact. Okla for us.

Muat dalam Honda CRV and Nissan Serena.

And this is the pic by my friend - packed inside her car...

Kalau tak silap kereta Honda Odyssey

Cantik kan warna biru ni? =D

Pic credit to Kak Tini.

More info on this stroller:-

a) This stroller is intended for children from newborn to 5 years. (which is great for me cos Razin will be 5 next year and Raiq, the youngest is 4 months now. All my 3 boys can fit in this stroller hehe)

b) Maximum weight in the newborn position is 9 kg. Actually stroller ni leh rearward facing tapi tak pernah try cos macam leceh nak cabut seat bagai... so abaikan. I use infant carseat je senang. Selagi muat leh duduk dalam tu.

c) Maximum weight in the upright main seat is 20kg

d) Maximum weight in the double kit on rear is 15kg. Oklah... now berat Raul 14-15 kg ok je =P

e) Adjustable sun hood. Canopy or hood untuk lindung dari cahaya matahari tu boleh diadjust mengikut sinaran matahari yang kena pada budak. Bahagian belakang canopy tu tak melekat pada frame stroller, so boleh ubah-ubah.

f) Adjustable handle. Yang ni best so takdelah if mak/ayah yang tinggi kena menunduk or lenguh tangan ke ape...

Phil & Teds Verve adjustable handle. Vibe pun sama rasanya.

On the Phil & Teds stroller, my 4 months old baby was in a Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus.

(the newborn insert already removed)

The adapters that were purchased separately.

Hehe... My boys loved it!

Jangan risau or kesian kat baby yang duduk bawah tu ya... cos ruang luas and bukannye tak nampak ape. Still leh tengok ke luar, no big deal. My boy loves it! Raul boleh duduk depan and boleh duduk belakang... dia tak kisah asalkan stroller tu bergerak. haha...

Raul. 18 months.

Weight: 14-15kg

Kemain happy lagi Raiq kalau bawak berjalan.

Balik Beruas jela baru berjalan keliling kampung dlm stroller...

Kalau kat Lumut, jalan dalam malls jelah huhu....

Overall, really satisfied with this stroller.

Sayang weh... setiap kali lepas jalan aku lap tayar bagi bersih so leh letak masuk rumah.

Gile tak sayang, stroller paling merabakkan poket kot ni...

Semoga berkhidmat dalam masa yang lama. 

Adios.

alhamdulillah...

Review Spectra M1 breast pump

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...


Lama dok peram review ni... ni baru free nak update.

Spectra M1 ni actually single pump.
Dalam kotak ada 1 je breastshield set.

Retail Price: RM576

Mama Panda's Price: RM449 for single pump & RM489 for double pump

Simple and kecil je pam ni.

Cuma takde LCD screen jelah. 

Sebab dah terbiase ada screen untuk tengok time, bagi aku agak kekok gak la awalnye.

Tapi not a big deal anyway, timer kat handphone pun ada.

Abaikan semak samun di meja tuuuu hahaha

Ok, before this semua pam yg aku guna (Medela Fs & Spectra 9+ je pun), kalau charging and nak tau dah penuh ke tak, kena tengok pada pam...

But since M1 ni takde lcd screen pun, so indicator adalah pada charger.

Kalau merah, bateri belum penuh 

Kalau hijau, bateri dah penuh.

okla...

Rupa bila dah on.

Kalau nak single pumping, tutup lubang tubing satu.

Biar satu je terpasang (single)

Tak banyak parts untuk dicuci!

Botol, breastshield dan membrane sahaja.

Review aku tentang M1 ni:-

a) Suction ok, agak kuat jugak la... tapi tak sakit.

b) Bateri cepat kong... pakai 2x and bateri drop dari 3 ke 2 bar.

c) Massage mode bagus... tapi tak cukup soft macam Spectra 9+ i think 

d) Aku prefer 9+ lagi rasanya... yela 9+ model lebih baru...lebih improved.

d) Overall oklah. I bagi 8/10

If berminat nak beli tested unit ni, leh whatsapp 0125280858.

Harga menarik menanti anda

(single pump)

Pakai utk review je hehe

Sekian

Alhamdulillah...

Too tired to sleep

Bismillah...

It's 2.57 am and i'm trying out a new pump!

It's Spectra M1 by the way... Will blog about it next week.

Cheaper option than the Spectra 9 Plus. So kita try dulu yer... Daaa

P/s: Actually i'm so darn tired... Been working non stop. But i've been awake since 11.30 reading... Saje la try pam pulak cos Raiq elok je tido
