first baby things

A very nice surprise from a co-teacher this morning:

I was really touched because we're not really close. I was almost teary-eyed when she told me to open the box and I saw what was inside. Baby things! I told her that these are actually our first baby things because we haven't bought any for the baby. We didn't want to 'jinx' it. We know of several people who had a miscarriage in the first trimester so Ramil and I know that we are not really sure and that we need to be extra careful.

The small yet very cute box actually contains a lot! It contains 3 small towels, a sando with matching jogging pants, a bib, baby powder, baby soap, a feeding container with a small spoon, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pacifiers, a small baby rattle, and a small comb. Quite a lot to fit in a small box! The box even has this baby smell (maybe because of the powder and soap?) upon opening it.

It was so nice to touch and feel these things knowing that they're for our baby. It suddenly put me in the mood to go on a shopping spree for the baby. Hehe!
