Sharon,
CONGRATS! Only just popped in forum.
Eh, I find I'm more sensitive to spice with #2... last time can eat curry like nobody's biz
.
Kel,
I can't imagine feeling each SNIP-SNIP w/o painkiller. *faints*
Skyblue,
hehe so u're thinking of trying for number THREE?
Think so hard of name... dun waste. LOL!
Yuru,
A is very ok with tablefood incl. FRIED RICE (yesterday's dinner menu).
Ok, now helper here, we're *trying* to cook separate "toddler-ish" food for her instead of easy-way-out of sharing our food.
KC,
CONGRATS TOO!
My famous-for-VBAC-gynae thinks my chances aren't very high, so aiyah, maybe I'd end up c-sect too. Will see how nearer EDD.
MY pregnancy,
aiyoh. Was in lift with a neighbour- she asked when I'm due, I replied June (it's actually mid-June), she said LONG WAY MORE... how come my tummy so big compared to HER DIL due NEXT MTH? Her DIL also 2nd bb leh. Yikes.
Evelyn & Kel & Skyblue,
I only carry Athena when absolutely no one else at home to help. Or when I'm *angry* with HB...
. Then he will feel more apologetic, muahaha! I've read some info lor- it just isn't gd for pregnant body to carry 10kg load lah (and HB agrees, haha).
#1 sleep-habits,
even tho A doesn't sleep with us, we're kinda expecting some changes when #2 arrives. Maybe she'd feel threatened and glue to us, or demand to sleep with us, or what. See how lor.
Maid issues,
safer to get from agency if u have no recommended maid. But being tied to 1 maid for 6mths due to agency rules, even if u're not happy, does not sound gd. Some maids may not be able to cope with jobscope/ expectations even if they tried their hardest, let alone those who don't try.
I got my helper thru recommendation. Then her employer sent her back to Indo. We did our own paperwork to get her back to SG... it's NOT cheaper than some really-cheap agencies. In fact more expensive than some really-cheap agencies. Reason is cos the agencies pass the bulk of the cost PLUS profit ONTO THE MAID- the maid under agency will work w/o wages for a very long time. Compared to my independent arrangement where she only pays for her own airtix from Indo ($90 only!). It's a big risk, if she decides to go home, I have no "backup" maid to choose from. But more "compassionate" to the maid lor- instead of working w/o wages under agency, she can actually enjoy more fruits of her labour.
