The Little One, who we've nicknamed Berry (because she started out the size of a blueberry when we started tracking her growth), loves Joe Dassin's Aux Champs Elysées song so much! I think this is her number one favorite song next to the McDonald's Filet-o-Fish jingle.
Every time we play these 2 songs, she just starts moving in my tummy, as if dancing to the upbeat tunes! But it's really Aux Champs Elysées that gets her groove going. I tried having her listen to other French songs like Serge Gainsbourg's but I don't get the same reaction from her. When I go back to playing Joe Dassin's Aux Champs Elysées, there she goes again, happily dancing to the rhythm!
We realized she loved it when Dear Hubby and I were watching The Darjeeling Limited and when this song was played, Berry just started going hyper. We had to rewind the song credits at least five times just to find out who sang this song! Haha! Luckily, Dear Hubby found the karaoke version in YouTube and now Berry and I sing to this song every chance we get!
Here are a couple more of Berry's favorite songs:
- Itsie Bitsie Spider
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
- Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit
- some Mozart compositions, not all! But I'm not into classical so I don't know which ones, I just make her listen to the playlist in Pandora, haha!
We try singing different songs to her, and making her listen to various types of music and we found out that she really has her favorites. She reacts the same way to her favorites all the time, even after several hours or even days have passed, so it can't be coincidental. We play her favorites in between other songs, and she recognizes it! When she doesn't like a song, we don't even get a tiny kick from her, hahaha! What a funny baby!

Let's Hear It For (The) Boy
I love preppy dressing. But I wouldn't take it too literally. I like it with a bit of edge, and coolness to it. That's why Boy by Band of Outsiders is a favorite! Elegant, but hip and very "now", thanks to slimmer fits, and meticulous attention to detail, every piece is just covetable! Read my story on Boy's Spring/Summer 09 Collection here for The Radar.
Mamma Mia!
Three months to go and the Little One will pop out soon!!! See how my tummy is now?
Wait, this is better...
Yeah, I know my belt buckle is skewed, but I did that on purpose. See, I didn't want the buckle to squeeze my tummy when I sit! Smart huh? Heehee!
It's been really cold these days that my usual suspects - tights, leggings, harem/drop crotch pants are not cutting it. Still too flimsy, so I have to wear denims. But I didn't want to spend on maternity denims because after I give birth, it won't be of much use, and it'll just go to waste. So I decided on these boyfriend denims instead which I think are the best maternity denims ever! It sits low below the belly and is super roomy and comfortable! Plus! I can wear it years after I give birth!
Scarf: Isabel Marant
Shirt: A.P.C.
Cardigan: Uniqlo
Jeans: Current/Elliott*
Belt: Abaco Paris
Tights: Topshop Maternity
Flats: French Sole
I've realized, buying maternity clothes can really be kept to a minimum. So far, it's really just my maternity tights, leggings and a tunic shirt that are my true maternity buys. Other than that, any of my dresses and loose tops are still ok, plus all the pants I got (a total of just 4 pieces! All of which I can use after I give birth!). Then again, I don't work so I don't have to spend for career maternity clothes. But my friend Me-an, who was working while pregnant, said she made do with 5 pairs of maternity trousers and that was it! She says, being pregnant made her realize she can actually live with just a few clothes on rotation. Now I know her words ring true. I've really been just wearing the same clothes over and over and over...
Maybe it has something to do with maturity and becoming a mom? Back in college, I used to take note of all my outfits just to make sure I never repeat the same outfit twice in a month. Then again, during these times especially, it doesn't make sense to be shopping so much. Better to save our money and shop our closets instead! For sure, there are treasures there that are just waiting to be unearthed!
*Here's a tip if you're planning to buy Current/Elliott denims. They are indeed one size too big as most online shopping sites have warned. So you should size down. I'm pregnant so I decided to get it in my usual size which is a 25. Ideally, I should have gotten a 24 as the 25s are very loose on me. But I have three more months to go and I have to have room to grow!
