Congrats!!
I always think that couples who have two or more kids are very 'brave' as the living standard is soooo high and the education system is soooo stressful. Everything is so expensive nowadays...sign..So, as for me - One kid is just really enough. Anyway, i did not even plan for one. But, since have...have lor - after 12yrs of marriage.
But, come to think of it..my princess is sooooo cute lor..always look forward to the weekends to spend time with her.

Jasmine,
congrats! How far along are you?? Do take care leh..
Wendy,
you sure you dun want no 2? hehehe recently i met up with my friends. Their daughter is 3.5yo and is my goddaughter. Last time they decided they only wanted one kid..or rather the wife decided that they only wanted one kid cos she said taking care of my goddaughter already can die. (heehehe but i dun think so..i think it's more cos she's very laxed with her daughter..so the gal very naughty!)..but now they say they are thinking whether to have #2 cos now the daughter very interested in other kids and babies...she kept asking her mum to get godma to bring baby josh to play with her! hahaha

i am planning for a 'new' (mid-life) career. So, starting all over again. Currently taking Dip in Counselling - left two more modules to complete. At the same time, was doing BA in Social Science. Dropped after one module - too tiring lah (and also stressful becos of the assignment). So, i am now thinking whether to take up psychology or not....well, i still have time to think. Most importantly, i have to finish my Dip first.
what are your plans? if i remember correctly, you are a SAHM, right?

wendy,
Counselling! interesting...
I did a basic course in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy sometime last year, but haven't got the time and energy to continue. Actually my hubby and I have long term plans of perhaps becoming marriage counsellors...but it's very very long term lah..dunno whether we'll ever do it anyway..
me still SAHM. Thinking of putting my boy to childcare soon and start to work part time. intending to go back to my old workplace. Since planning for #2, alot of old plans got to change, right? I'm waiting for my hubby to finish his MBA first then see how. had initially planned to do masters in comms/international relations/public policy...but I think i may not be able to go back to my old industry in full swing...so may change...
if money is no issue at all, i may possibly pursue music education? if not, become jazz lounge singer...hahahahaha

haha...you so funny leh. Anyway, still have some time to think...my plans will change, especially now with a kid. She will definately come first.
I am also trying to 'potty trained' my girl. Or rather, getting my helper to do it. Want her to be out of diapers. Diapers not cheap leh...may i know where to begin? Should i not let her wear diapers during the day?

can try toilet train ur gal by shhhhh.... her to pee each time they wake up esp after a nap.
MIL started doing that to my boy, now we will bring him to toilet pre n after nap, b4 bath. it really helps to save a lot on diaper, now more willing to buy better quality diaper ha ha ha.

Wendy,
can start with some pre-training. If you are not shy abt it, can bring her to toilet when you go and tell her abt the process? We do that with my boy now..cos he's still not yet ready, but we try to lay the ground first.
I don't agree with the older generation's way of doing it cos it's not teaching the kids to be aware of their body signals (i.e. to go toilet). It only makes you/caregiver do more work by having to watch out for their signals. the old way probably only helps to teach the kids to at least do 'some biz' at certain times like before and aft bed...

Never in my life I see diarrhoea until I also don't know what to do helpless...

Hi Jasmine,
Agree that it is always heartache when your child falls sick. I always tell my girl to pass the germs to me, so that she will not suffer....
I am now searching for child care ctr in Woodlands becos my helper has suddenly decided to renew for only one more year (her contract ends nxt yr June). But, i am not keen lor, becos i understand from my colleague that i will still be paying the full package to the agency (to assist me in the documentation) regardless it is for one or two years. All these helpers, thought the madams are so rich meh...so fed up. Anyway, when she starts to list her condition, i REALLY dont like it. No matter how good she is, she is still NOT a family member. So, i have decided not to renew her contract at all. Let it end nxt June. I will send my girl to child care ctr. I was telling my husband - we will manage by hook or by crook!!! Dont want to rely on MAIDS ANYMORE!! Fed up with them.

I am thinking of enrolling her at Sheffield child care ctr, which is one block away from mine. Not really an ideal place. But, with the proximity - i guess i do not really have a choice. I did check out at Kinderland at Causeway Pt. The facilities not bad, but i will have to park illegally when i bring/fetch my daughter to the ctr.
Hi Jasmine,
take of yourself and your girl.
Hi nellu,
Seems like have to delay my plans again..

Hi sgn,
I have gotten all the info and have all the copies of their menu and activities.
I must say nowadays the quality of the teachers in the childcare ctr are just so-so (apologise if i hv offended anyone). Anyway, their salary is really nothing to shout about. So, i guess they are not able to get 'professional'.

Wendy,
i'm also shopping around for childcare center to put Josh by Dec this year...I don't like to depend on maids as well. They all like to do all these kind of stupid things.
abt potty training, thought you might want to read up on it. I was recommended a book "Diaper Free before 3". I'm reading it now, thought it's not bad...you might wanna take a look at it.

Hi nellu,
hv not registered my girl at Sheffield yet. I am trying to get some feedback from Woodlands mummies.
All these maids...really a pain. One is more than enough for me. Even though she has worked for my aunty for 8 years, but still not a family member. She takes good care of my girl...but sometimes forgot that i am the madam lor..Experienced = Complacent.
My husband and i will have to manage on our own.
Abt potty training, my girl now poo-poo in the potty. She is getting used to it (i hope). Next, is to try to let her pee in the potty too. Abt the book, where can i get it?

Jasmine,
Think she's quite good..hehee..can tell when she wants too poo..maybe cos since young she dun like to poo on dirty diaper..most of the time change clean diaper then she poo..(waste $$)..so maybe now she prefer to poo without the diaper..still can't get her to tell us the 'wee wee' time..
Hey mummies,
Anyone brought ur kids overseas? I'm thinking of bringing my gal overseas (for short holiday)..any advise / tips..? How did u all handle the plane trip? Is it too young an age to travel?

When your tum tum get bigger she will know that she have a little brother or sister coming... For me when I expect my 2nd child, I got 1 DVD showing how baby grow inside mummy tummy, its a progress of baby growing day by day and months by month. My gal so funny watch so many times and kept telling me baby got blood on body as the disc also show the delivery process. And hor nearer to your due date buy a toy or something she likes, tell her is from di di or mei mei, and she will be happy.
