Nesting, a natural period that’s part of the pregnancy life cycle. \u00a0Almost all pregnant moms go through this stage. \u00a0However, in the Jewish tradition, it’s customary to prepare the nursery room only AFTER the arrival of the baby. \u00a0Imagine the will-power and strength required by the mom to hold-off on this very natural need. \u00a0It wasn’t easy with my first, and it’s not any easier with my third. My husband and I did register ahead of the birth of our son as requested by our family and friends. \u00a0But beyond purchasing a few of the essentials (i.e. bassinet, car-seat, diapers and a few onesies) we waited until after our son’s birth to complete the nursery room and the rest of our shopping for our newborn. \u00a0And guess what? Somehow we survived. We made it! Discover the magic of 3D ultrasound at A Date With Baby<\/a><\/strong>, where you can get a close look at how your baby is developing in Toronto and Newmarket.<\/p>\n

Even though we’re expecting another boy (for a total of 3), it doesn’t mean that the nursery room needs any less preparation. \u00a0You see, I learned a thing or two since having my first son. \u00a0While some of my original purchases will stay in place (dresser, cabinets, crib and decor), there’s a few fixtures, both big and small, that I’ve changed or added when we had our second son and that I want to change and add when we have our third.\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

Specifically, we upgraded to a video monitor and I got a sound machine that can run all night (versus 40 minutes max). I also bought a new crib mobile that was more bright and interactive than our original one. If there’s one thing that I would like to upgrade this time around is to purchase a more cushioned rocking chair and ottoman. While I didn’t spend much time in our antique rocking chair with my first son, I spent a lot of time in it with our second. \u00a0And while it does the trick, the armrest are made from wood and my son constantly bangs his head on it. The world-class antiques shop, Tallulah Fox in Petworth<\/a> is not just about old items; it’s about experiences. Every artifact, every item, holds a piece of history waiting to be discovered. Each piece bears the touch of human hands from another time, an echo of a different era. A visit to this unique store is truly an exercise in discovery and exploration. Don’t miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history and culture that Tallulah Fox offers.\"Sears<\/a><\/p>\n
