That day was Sat evening. I asked him sleep with me coz wanted to chat with him. Chatted half way both of us fell asleep! Suddenly I heard BOMB!!! thought Im in the dreamwho knows.!
My elder son felt so shocked and cried so loudly coz the pain! OMG, Im didnt expect Im the one who cause him suffer the pain! Im kept saying sorry to him and blamed myself! Im felt so heart pain! Why not me?

mapleleaf,
my boy got exactly the same high chair.
these few days down with flu so very sian. my FIL kept wanting to buy winter clothes for my 2nd boy but its much cheaper here and we bought plenty during the sale here. so I told my hubby to ask my MIL and FIL to bring baby milk powder as their check-in luggage which is more useful than redundant baby clothes. ordered 24 cans of milk powder for them to bring over. chinese herbs cannot cross customs if get caught but milk powder is okay as long as is unopened tins.

Woo wow... DOUBLE happiness in this thread!! Keep us posted on the outcome after your visit to the gynae next week.
If you need company to the gynae next week, buzz me, okie? I will be your appointed "bodyguard"
Does this mean your # 2 will arrive at the same time as TBL?
Gosh, I am soooooo excited for both of you, can hardly contain my excitement.
After further "discussion" with my hubby, my project #3 will KIV till further notice
<font color="ff0000"><font size="+1">THE MAID</font></font>
<font color="0000ff">Maid # 1</font> - <u>14 Oct,Fri</u>: New maid from Philippines. Upon arrival, medical report shows she is anemic. Spoke to Doc & certify she has to be on long term medication. Had to send her back.
Did not have time to wait for a new maid. Had to settle for transfer ones.
<font color="0000ff">Maid # 2</font> - <u>15 Oct, Sat</u>: Before I can pick her up from the agency, they called & said the maid has run to the Philippines Embassy & says she wants to go back home. I hv not even met nor spoke to her before!
<font color="0000ff">Maid # 3</font> - <u>17 Oct, Mon</u>: Pick up # 3 but the very next day, told me she cannot handle the workload & would like to go back.
<font color="0000ff">Maid # 4</font> - <u>19 Oct, Wed</u>: Came the day before & just 5mins before I was about to leave the house for Ashley & Cayden's GUG classes, she says cannot handle workload & wants to go back to agency!! Thank goodness I pre-empt this & had "activated" <font color="ff0000">Lach</font> in the morning. <font color="ff0000">Lach</font> was so sweet & brought Cay to his class while I stayed with Ashley in her class.
<font color="0000ff">Maid # 5</font> - <u>20 Oct, Thu</u>: So far she has not quitted on me. She can't cook nor do much housework but I am relieved she has stayed till now. Can't ask for much, will take 1 step at a time.
When maid # 4 quit & with less than 12 hours of sleep in 1 week, I almost broke down. I only managed to take 2 days off work & was doubling as a SAHM + FTWM.
What have I done wrong? All I ask for is someone who truly loves & would take care of the kids. Were the quiters all too young (between 22-24)?
Nonetheless, a hug + kiss from my 2 darlings & all the encouragement from the Mummies in the Forum made me pull it through.
<font color="0000ff"><font size="+2">THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MUMMIES</font></font>
<font color="119911"><font size="+2">For being there with all the support & lending a "listening" eye</font></font>

Maid # 1 was ex-hongkong.
The subsequent maids are new and has no working exddperience out of Philippines.
But I had no choice as they were transfer maids and I cannot afford to wait for another month for an experience one to come.

Feline,
Let's hope this maid'll work out. If not, u may want to consider Indo ex-sin(preferably 2 yrs), I think Indo maids do not need so long (1 mth) to be reach S'pore.

Hi all,
Thanks for yr concern! It appear that Chloe have broke into a Measles, the GP says it's real measles. (Some says it's fake one) oh well
Chloe is reaaaally ugly these 2 days, her fever went down on the third day, just as the doc guessed, he even told me in advanced that it might broke into rashes
Her rashes is really ugly, all red spots and patches spread from the head to the leg. This morning it's slightly better.
HOpe next week can go to Gymboree finally! hhaaha
<font color="ff0000">Feline</font>
u poor thing, it's gonna be better from here I hope. Best wishes!
<font color="ff0000">mngo</font>

Old folks very funny one lah, When Chloe broke into rashes, my MIL say must go see doc, ok lor. Than she says cannot bath cannot eat chicken cannot blow fan, cannot go out blah blah ...waah, I was preparing her porridge at that time, everything gana reject.
Anyway, the funnie thing is that when she and my hubby brought Chloe to see doc, the doc see her immediately say "Auntie, no need to wrap bb like this, too hot for her" hahah
Than before my MIL wants to ask abt the food she cannot eat, the doc also immediately say, "u old thinking liao lah, everything also can eat, eat as per normal" heeheeee, *evil me* that doc is my new idol
<font color="ff0000">Yu</font>
COnGRATULATIONS! waah, very fast wor u all, it's so good that yr children are close in age gap. heehee, update us on yr joyful pregnancy, k.

Hi feline,
Did not hv time to go thru the thread; so did not realised that u hv problem with maid.
Can understand your feeling but you are in the terrible position to hv the changes so much and so fast.
No, u have not done any wrong. Just that the quality of the maids have deterioriated and they are not willing to work hard.
I don't think age is the reason for quitters as I hv tried the young twenties; late twenties; young thirties; late thirities; single and married.
It is the commitment of the maid who willing to work and need the $ for family support & not distract by other factors (friend's influence/comparison, homesick, boyfriend/husband/children) then they can work long for us. So far, only my 7mths Phil maid has come to love my family; for the rest, they just work with no emotional ties.
To make u feel better, I also hv lots of maids come and go since the birth of my daughter in 2001 till now. I hv gone thru
a) 6 Indon maids within 3yrs
- 3 left 'cos of homesick;
- fire 1 'cos she mishandle my girl;
- 1 arrive and decide to go home on 2nd day;
- only 1 stay and work for me for >1.5yr but quit 'cos she is scared of more responsibility when bb arrive.
b) 6 Phil maids within 9mths
- 2 quit 'cos of homesick after 1-2weeks;
- 1 change her mind and did not come after getting her work permit;
- 1 fire me after 4days 'cos I told her off for reading newspaper while taking care of baby;
- 1 work for 7mths till just went back for study; the latest one is working for 1mth and cross my fingers and toes that she will stay as we find her attitudes not bad though also not able to cook, nor do housework.
Sorry for the lengthy msg.

hi everyone
afternoon....sori was busy in the morning so couldnt post
hi feline
how is the maid saga thingy? hopefully everything works out fine for you eventually
...
sigh..it is really difficult to find a good maid lately i guess
Hi YuRU,
i have attended the trial at BJG at OCC last sat..and decided to sign Javier up for the class. He is more responsive to the teacher. Ha..maybe this teacher more cheerful?
And hubby and i felt that the environment is better and cleaner..(personal opinion)
so when are you going for the trial at pasir ris?

Hello everyone
Wow, this thread is moving faster and faster!!!
I'm better now, thanks everyone!!!
Dean is also recovering, but the latest victim to fall prey to this terrible virus is my hubby!
anyway, wanna share with you 1 good decognestant for blocked nose. Called KARVOL. $5+ for a box of 10 capsules. Sold in all Guardian Pharmcies, and some 7-elevens. Suitable for use on babies >3months.
Just break open 1 capsule, apply the contents onto a hankerchief and place next to the pillow. The smell (similar to chinese medicated oil) helps clear the stuffed nose.
Initially i thot it won't work, but surprisingly dean slept better with it; and my maid & I both find it effective!
So now its KARVOL for me; out with Illadin.
Even Vicks doesn't work as well!
Feline:
So glad to have u back! Getting a decent maid depends on one's luck, esp when we dun have the luxury of time!
Yu:
WOW CONGRATS!!! So happy for you ... so now your wish has been granted. Oh dear, u poor thing .... hopefully you can take small amounts. Maybe drink some soup at least? Take care.
Lach:
congrats on rae's teeth, and sayang sayang on her fall. But she didn't seem to fuss too much eh? considering she fell asleep soon after....
on rae's teething .... dean doesn't like the teething ring, gel etc. His fav? Pigeon training toothbrush. He's using that as his teether now!
It's the ONE item i dun leave home without!

I wish I can buy, but quite expensive leh, www.gymboree.com
Yu, i use a sling too.
but it IS getting abit tiring on my back as well, cos my son is getting heavy (9kg+).
however it was VERY useful when he was lighter.
the one i have is fr Moms in Mind. You got to make sure you use a sling correctly; position it wrongly and you will get the same backaches.
Oh my, elicia is such a big girl already!!
so pretty too!
i still can't get over her otah craze ... i am totally shocked!!!

huh ? i never knew that the petit miam contains cheese! they certainly don't taste like cheese.
supermodel slim ?
u can wait long long. i just manage to start going for ONE trial fundamental pilates class after 3 weeks so don't know how long i'll last. hee.
anyone keen to join me at amore ? they are having a promo now $20 for 4 lessons.
u will be surprised that the ergo carrier is packed into a bag slightly longer than A4 size so it's super compact. the only downside is baby has to be carried either piggy back or in front belly to belly so can't face out.
i also like it as baby actually sits in the carrier instead of hanging at the crotch.
