Simply the best items for yuppie parents and their baby

As a member of the internet savvy generation of young professional Moms- and Dads-to-be who are excitedly preparing for their baby, I too have surfed for the best items suitable for our active lifestyle.

Gradually, we have mind-set ourselves that soon, Mom will be busy nurturing Baby, attending to all her needs, while Dad (that's me) will be 'competing' for his share of raising up our little girl.

With a lot of help from friends and Baby's soon-to-be ninongs and ninangs, my wife and I gathered the stuff that we think would work best for us three. Our relatives are, of course, also with us to give all their support and words of wisdom.

Our bags are packed. Baby's clothes, mittens, and booties are all ready to wear. The cotton diapers, blankets, bed sheets and towels have been laundried, folded and packed. The BPA-free feeding bottles, electric sterilizer, breast pump, Baby's bassinet and bathing gear, all of which are of the highest quality, are neatly arranged on one side of the room. We made sure that these items have passed our rigid quality inspections.

Only one item remains unaccounted for: the baby's crib or play pen. But that can wait. I just might be able to get back the heavy-duty crib my parents gave me 30 years ago. LoL.

Since my wife and I are both outdoor-loving, strolling yuppies constantly engaged in either leisure and work, and yes of course, want to bond early with Baby, we also searched for a baby carrier perfect for our needs.

Dads, have you ever felt the urge to carry your cuddly little angel as close and comfy as Moms do from the time baby was still inside the womb? Like, wish that you have a kangaroo-pouch for you to safely bring along baby to family reunions and leisure walks? Moms, have you thought of getting the trendiest outdoor apparel for you and your baby?

Allow me share with you what we found at "my Baby & my Sling" www.mybabyandmysling.multiply.com. The baby slings offered in that site allow you to select and wear fashionable designs while safely carrying your little one. These carriers are made of the best fabric and come in print designs suited for the outdoor-loving parent.

Our little one will certainly enjoy the comfort and durability of the Mojito sling we bought for her. We are definitely excited to let our Baby see the world as she rides inside the green Mojito.
