Newborn budgeting & safety

Up to week 31 now, start reading & learning more about newborn, as I can imagine I won't have much time to read when the baby is born.

There's a useful budget calculator from babycenter.

And a lot of safety issue:
- Sleep the baby on its back on a firm mattress, never on a soft pillow to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
- Prepare the nursery to be fire-safe, install fire alarm
- Floor is clear of wires...etc that could trip you over, use a night light
- Secure unstable furniture, hanging picutres or decorations
- Make sure change table have a saftey strap
- use layer outfit or a one piece outfit for sleeping rather than a blanket which the baby could trap in

Finally bought Pregnancy without pounds, as I'm up to 31 weeks and have already gain 13kg of my original weight, and it'll keep going during the third trimester. I'd really like to get back into shape or even better to impress after birth. And my back pain is killing me, I can't turn at night. It also show some techniques to decrease labour pain, skincare, prevent stretch marks, sagging breast..etc.
