LOOK: Iya Villania's shopping spree for baby in Hong Kong

First-time-mom-to-be Iya Villania has been busy prepping for her baby's arrival; most recently with a shopping spree in Hong Kong! See what the expecting funny couple has been up to.

It may very well  be the last time they will be traveling alone before they become a family of three; nevertheless, funny couple Iya Villania and Drew Arellano dedicated much of their Hong Kong trip to prepping for their baby’s arrival.

The couple went on a shopping spree for their baby boy on May 31, dubbing their latest trip “babymoon”.

In one of the photos shared by Villania on her Instagram account, the couple can be seen carrying bags and bags of baby items.

“Successful babymoon/baby shopping with the father of my child,” said Villania.

“Going to miss traveling with this guy tho and having him all to myself! The next time we travel we’ll either be having a fun yet challenging time with the little bugoy OR we’ll be worrying sick about the little man being left at home without his crazy parentals,” she added.

“Although I know he’d be happy stuck at home with his crazy Lola. I just highly doubt we’ll even have the heart to travel without him,” Villania predicted.

Successful babymoon/baby shopping with the father of my child ???? was so lucky to have @iamkatmaderazo there to show me the best places to buy baby stuff!!! ???? Thank you, Kat! ???? Going to miss traveling with this guy tho and having him all to myself! The next time we travel we’ll either be having a fun yet challenging time with the little bugoy OR we’ll be worrying sick about the little man being left at home without his crazy parentals! ???????????? Although I know he’d be happy stuck at home with his crazy Lola ???????? I just highly doubt we’ll even have the heart to travel without him ???? #Life #NewChapters #BabyA #WhenShizGetsReal #MakeTheMostOfEveryMoment #BabyBiyahero

Villania has been busy preparing for the arrival for her first child, and has been stocking up on baby needs.

So… I started with just these goodies since #BabyA’s gender reveal ???? and after this HK trip, now I’ve got so much more to add to my collection in prep for the little man ???? thank you @inesmodainfantil @inthecrib for the cute onesies that’ll last #BabyA’s whole first year into this world! ???? @yosameti and @paolovalenciano for the socks for his little feet and aunt @jendcruz05 and Lola Joy for the musical mobile and toy to keep him entertained ❤️???? Will show you guys the stuff I was able to achieve in HK soon too! ???? Waaaaaah! So much fun buying for the little man! ????????????

Now you can ALWAYS have a clean bumbum wherever you go! ???????? more on my snapchat: iyavillania ???? Naks! ???? and no, there’s no live demo of me actually using it ah ???????? #CleanPwet #CozNotAllToiletsHaveBidets #NotAllToiletsHaveWater #CozTissueHurts ???? @sanicare_bidet

The expectant mother is also focusing on keeping herself fit for a healthy pregnancy. Villania, who is big on healthy living, plans to continue exercising until her baby is born.

The hubby had to flip my handlebar up so I can sit more upright and not squash #BabyA ???? No excuses for me not to exercise ???? being pregnant doesn’t mean you’re disabled! Heck! There are even disabled athletes! ???????? in fact, unless you’re having a high-risk pregnancy, all the more reason you should exercise ???? it is recommended! ???????? There are so many benefits for both you and for baby ???????? if you want to get pregnant, get fit and exercise! ???? a healthy you = healthy baby ???? I get some of my calcium from my Milo NutriUp ???? a glass pre or post workout and I’m good to go ???? #NutriUpYourGame #FitPregnancy #ActiveBuntis #ListenToYourBody

Recently, the TV host also posted another photo of her all-natural prenatal vitamins.

Don’t forget to take your vitamins momma’s!!! ???? It’s hard to get all the nutrition we need thru just food when a little bugoy is inside absorbing all your nutrients so be sure to take in all that you and your baby need! ???? also, if you aren’t pregnant but plan to within the year, you can already start prenatal care vitamins in preparation ???? Thanks for the boost @healthyoptionsph! #HealthyPregnancy #FitForPregnancy
