wow, fourteen nineteen twenty-five thirty-five slings ordered – not bad!

i’m not making money out of this, really. i’m just a big fan of babywearing, spreading the love for slinging. :)

peanut shell

coz babies love to be close to you! just like this cute lil peanut…

Awi with Baby Fynna in peanut shell

so, what’s the day of a temporary sahm like?

let’s see.

baby stirs, baby bathes, baby feeds, mommy bathes, baby poops, baby sleeps, mommy eats, mommy tinkers at the computer, mommy deals with W&F matters, baby feeds, mommy scavenges for snacks, baby sleeps, mommy does laundry, baby seeks attention, mommy gets baby acquainted with house, baby bathes, baby feeds, baby sleeps, mommy bathes, mommy spends time with toddler, mommy scolds toddler (ha ha), toddler sleeps, baby feeds and feeds and feeds and finally sleeps, mommy watches tv, mommy sleeps.

or something to that effect, more or less.

in between, she gets her body kneaded back to whatever shape it was previously. or at least, tries to. :S

i think every woman has a pre-pregnant pair of pants or jeans or skirt that becomes like a yardstick or measurement of achievement when they are able to squeeeeze their newfound post-pregnancy hips and butt into.

i chose this favourite pair of mango pants as my yardstick, which i really missed. (i know, i’m cheating – these are CARGO pants, supposed to be worn loose, lol!)

erm, how esah, do i look two months pregnant now?? :p

sigh, now to psyche myself up to do tummy crunches. ugh.

(update: bulk orders for peanut shells IS CLOSED. i’m not taking anymore! please go to goo-ga.com to order individually! thankyewforyourattention!)

  34. syah tk says:

    hi kak hana,

    firstly wanna congratulate you two doting parents on the very beautiful and healthy baby girl. may Allah bless her with good health.

    next, topic is a bit off the track… forget about losing the postnatal weight first. hehe.. i know your husband is quite a foodie.. so you guys HAVE to try badoque at simpang bedok. it’s right next to mad jack. the food is simply heavenly, surpass that of some italian restaurants here. do try the appetisers! to die for. another plus point – their service and attention to customers are stellar! majulah singapura!

  35. jetaime says:

    wahhh..i thot the guys main-main..sungguh semangat!!! bagus bagus..hehe

    n awi! gosh..aku masih lom visit kau..o-oh! hehe

    haiz hana..u lucky lucky girl..dah lah masa pregnant..dari belakang..pey slim mcm tak pregnant..n now..u baru gip birth..dah balik shape dulu… perhaps its wonders of kak maya eh!

  36. hana says:

    hi syah, YES we do intend to drop by badoque one of these days – izad dah aiming liao! :D
    coz we saw the pics and are definitely intrigued. thanks!

    yuyu, she does shaping too, call her lah… ;)

  37. heriati says:

    oops! sorry hana…i know i promised to post my comment earlier… :p

    anywhos, to all the lovely ladies who have placed an order with hana…

    just a note, you may want to do a proper shoulder-to-hip measurement. the sizes may be a tad bigger for us asians. so if you’re normally an M, you may want to consider buying the sling in S size. the size also depends on the design of the individual slings.

    pls click here: http://themummyjournal.wordpress.com/2008/05/11/from-one-satisfied-peanut-shell-customer-to-another/

    i bought an S size sling from Hana a few months ago..and it fits me well altho i am definitely not an S size. ;p

    ok hana babe, hope this will help your lovely blog-ders in making an informed decision. :)

  38. heriati says:

    **disclaimer**

    as with any other purchases bought online, there is an element of risk especially in terms of sizing. any testimonials/recommendations are based on individual experiences with the product.

    what works for one person, may not work with another person.

    hence, pls do the proper measurements in order to select the right size for yourself.

    thank you. :)

  39. lynn maharet says:

    thanks for the tip!

    i also thought i can fit into S tau tapi sadly cannot la heheheh

    just one question though..can u cradle carry nusair in it? i think my baby too big for S size to cradle carry …hehe

  40. is says:

    dunno if yana had called you..think she is looking for a sling, but dont thk she can get online to see e pics or e website :S

  41. heriati says:

    haha lynn…nusair is past the cradle carry stage…when i bought the sling, he was already about 6 – 8 weeks old. nusair didn’t really like to be in the cradle carry position, plus he’s a big baby! :p

  42. lynn maharet says:

    hehe.. i figure as much..because i think S is too small for cradle carry for my baby size(dia pun boleh tahan debab!) ..tapi nak carry other style his neck not strong yet..so M it is for me hehe

    anyways i’ve passed ur akar fatimah to hana.. sorry ur akar dah botak sikit ehheh..and thanks again :)

  43. hana says:

    wow, great review heriati, you make ME wanna buy ten pieces, lol!

    and heriati, i thot nusair is debab, but lynn’s 2mo baby is even MORE debab lor! dorang dua boleh lawan sumo wrestling hehee. btw, she did manage to find a way to carry her babe in the S size after all. :)

    is, yana decided not to coz i told her the size S might be loose for her since she’s tinier than me. think she’s gonna go try the hotsling instead.

    btw, i’ve already stopped taking orders, so to others still interested, you can go direct to the goo-ga.com website. thanks!

  44. Rita says:
