dear all
my maid finally arrived in sg! i am really upset at the lousy service that i got from the agency. still need to wait for at least 7-10days for all the entry, medical, safety and in-house training to be completed. the agency offered to let me have the maid first while waiting for MOM safety test and bring her back to agency any time for in-house training. they really think i so darn free to ferry her to and fro, while arranging to be off/or take leave to look after ds.
so angry, called them countless times and left my contact but 9 out of 10 times never call me back! took nearly 1 1/2months to get the maid and i don't even have much time to let her be familiar with her work scope and ds. really headache!
another headache: ds is fussing a lot when drinking milk. he will not finish 150ml now, we are lucky if he finish most of it. there are feeds that he drinks about 60-100ml, with lots of struggles and crying. when he is fussing, i tried to burp him, sometimes got burp but he will still be unhappy.
i am losing so much sleep over his feeding pattern now, plus the maid, really really stressed out!
yesterday, i was feeding ds and he almost finished his milk when HB called my mobile. i tot later then call him back, settle ds first. you know what he say to me tat evening, he wanted to know why i never answer his call and wat if the call was urgent(ie he accident or wat). how can i answer when 1 hand holding ds, another hold bottle. somemore can say that if urgent call and i never answer, it is only his life at stake! that feed was the first in days that he finished his feed without much struggle.
he wants me to follow-up on the maid but not too aggressively, if i never lose my temper at the manager, agency would not have offered to cancel maid if she no-show at 3pm yesterday and let us have a temp transfer maid while re-select a new one. wants me to call agency to inform them to extend yesterday 3pm deadline to wed, since she already left home for philippines agency. i called sg agency from 10-11.30am and 12-2pm, just to ensure that they are noted of our decision. if i didn't call, later will kena from HB. i was alone at home with ds, i can't keep ds happy/rock him to sleep/prepare next feed/change nappy and still call agency.
sometimes i feel tat it is his upbringing, PILs one kind. buying ru yi oil, MIL can still commented loudly tat the shop is selling fake ru yi oil and got told off by the shop keeper. when choosing name for ds, FIL insisted that surname be written in the complicated/old chinese(only taiwan is still using) cos the easy chinese forms are "not the real thing" cos some joker wakes up one day and decided that it should be written that way. i was so angry, my chinese not very good but what utter rubbish! somemore can insisted that from woodlands till tanjiong pagar is malaysia land and why sg gov put sg checkpt at woodlands.
i really dun want to bring ds back to kl for visits cos their house is really dirty and messy, plus have pails of water(uncovered) in the garden to collect rainwater for watering of plants AND there are mosquitos larvae growing inside. it is amazing why no one has contracted dengue, and i was so worried when visited them when i was still preggy.

Reenie,

HB knows that ds very difficult to feed but he still expect me to answer the call! my dad was so angry over tis, i still at my parents' place and he came over last evening.
FIL really expect ds to write his surname in complicated chinese when start school, somemore the surname is not common(although sound like Ou De Yang's surname but different character), ds sure to kena lots in school and from FIL next time. lucky his given name got no complicated forms or i will still be arguing with FIL. HB malay-ed, chinese worse than a K1, so chinese name was left to me.

seabreeze,
HB writes his name in the complicated form. for ds, only surname got complicated form cos given name doesn't.
just want maid thingy to be smooth, no more delays. will have 2wks to observe/train her before i start work...
HB wants me to find out where to buy the infant car seat... am i really a superwoman to him?

then guess your bb will have to carry on the tradition of writing his surname in the complicated form then ...
car seat can get from kiddy palace (bigger outlet), robinson & mothercare ... think those shops that specialise in bb item oso got sell carseat ...

re: names
i chose my boy's christian name with my hb, and my PIL first complained that it's too uncommon n difficult to pronounce/remember.. but now they have no problems w it..
(but i do notice that clinic nurses prefer to call him by his chinese name.) As for chinese name, i chose it myself cos hb's chinese is a pte ltd co.... 
didn't even think of running through w in-laws until my mother reminded me. But they Eng-ed so also bo chap... But my grandmother had problems pronouncing it in Teochew (nobody knows how to!) and we had to consult our entire family clan (nearly 100-strong) before someone finally knows.. keke...
applejuz, the playmat looks so big n nice! Keyon looks like he's in the forest himself!

Ixwong,
Thanks for the tips in punching holes!
Yes, i let Denise sleep on tummy during daytime....she has been on tummy since 2 months old..
ITs never too late! Its good for them to sleep on tummy, my PD suggested to us. It will help them sleep better, longer and get rid of tummy wind/upset. Plus, their neck and shoulders will be stronger since they have to look up and move about when they wake up.
I tried letting her on tummy while awake, but she doesn't enjoy much, only a short while.
Tips: i place her down on tummy to sleep after rocking her, not when she is awake.

Re: Grab things
i notice Denise can grab my fingers very hard and firm, also she can grab Pooh bear hands when i gave it to her. Rattle might not be the best toy to prove baby can grab firmly, u can try all sort of possible stuffs around you, i even realise she grabs the thermoscan when i am taking her temperature! She's quite strong at her hands and legs, able to bang the baby cot quite hard!
But co-ordination skills wise is still weak, her hands doesn't really grabs things sharply, always waving around although trying her best to grab. I placed her on fisher price Kick&Play bouncer to play, she will try to beat the toys dangling in front of her

Seabreeze, ting & vone,
Thanks for the compliments. Look like Anissa's boy or not.. hee hee...
Actually, i only wipe the playmat once with wet cloth, once dry, then quickly try on it.. not much smell leh. I like the cartoons, very catchy! But material wise, i think a bit hard for baby, aiya shld have gotten the LG prime (but then LG prime is $$$$ leh). Seabreeze, u got one too right, how u find?
re: Names
Gee.. Keyon's name oso didn't run thru' wif PIL. They quite ok.
But then, we meant it to be 'Key'+'Yearn' (like ryan), but many pple read as 'Key'+'on' which sounds like crayon... alamak. hope he don't get teased next time...
re: car seat
ilmare, Baby Hyperstore also got many carseat, but dunno got ur brand or not, can chk it out.

Cool down ilmare.
U need to thrash out things to your hubby tat u r not a superwoman! Got to make him known tat u r really piss off & upset or else he will take u for granted. Make it clear tat he helps u to settle the maid thingy ASAP cos I find 2 weeks to train the maid is too little. Yor PILs sounds so jia lat one. Maybe u think positively in another way tat they dun stay in Sg.
Hi Seabreeze,
It's a good sign when Yicheng can sleep thru out the night.
Hi ixwong,
Thanks for tips on punching hole on the teat. I try whether it works for mine. As for bf, u try to feed him as long as u can lor. For me is becos my workplace not so friendly in expressing milk so I stop it.
Hi Applejuz,
Your boy still looks so cute & his hair very bushy too.

hi ilmare,
Ya, guess you have to make known to him that sometime bb simply won't leave you with any free time to do other stuff.. Previously I also thot staying at home looking after bb shld have lotsa time to do other stuff hence planned quite a few things to do during maternity leave... End up whole day attending to bb and hardly any time for other stuff! So maybe yr hubby like me previously.. got wrong impression...

hi ilmare,
i totally agree with cakey, having a baby around takes up so much of your time. Like Denise, she takes up 80% of my time! the other 20% she is sleeping.....and i get to breathe a little. It really depends on the child, like mine, she is the toughest baby in town, cranky for no reason, refuse to take milk and unpredictable but she is still my darling girl....
My hubby helps me in taking care of Denise over weekends and nite time, he find it fun yet tiring at times too.
Let your hubby have a try on his own, then he will understand your role as a mummy at home

wow, all the babies with bushy hair huh!!!
people keep asking me whether my baby's head shaved before... answer is NOT YET!! *hiak*
ilmare
my heart goes out to u... your husband is DEEPLY MISTAKEN - taking care of baby at home is many times more demanding than going to work. Tell him u wanna go do your hair/ facial/ shop for new clothes before starting work. Ask him to take leave & take care of baby. Guarantee that he'll wake up his idea after 3hrs.

apparently there's a custom/ ritual to shave bb hair at 1 month or 4 months. Hubby & i din think anything abt it until my dad brought it up, seems to be insisting.. coz my bb 4 months tmr. We're Teochew, by the way... does this apply to other dialects too?

applejuz
hehe it should be pronounced as An-torn...different from the intended spelling of ur boy Keyon. I think ppl pronounce ur boy's name wrongly because of the letter 'Y'...cos it reminds them of the word Cra-yon, that is why the pronounce it the same way as they would pronounce 'Crayon'

i dunno lor... aiya, that's what customs/ rituals are about. I mean, when WOULD happen if we didn't hold the full month celebration, if we didn't do confinement, if we used the scissors on our bed when we were pregnant?!
if i remember, i'll ask my dad tonite/ tmr & share the answer... in the meantime any bets??

dear all
thanks for hearing me out. my parents are super angry with him now for pressuring me. the worst thing that he ever mentioned that i am to hold ds with 2 hands when bathing him, so as not to drop him. how to bath ds when i alone?
mum also mentioned that it is very tiring to care for ds alone, really need 2 persons. i feel very guilty sometimes especially when i need to go back for doc's appts.
ds drank all 150ml just now! i am so happy cos he didn't struggle, just "guai guai"drink with eyes closed, think he was half asleep. just pray hard that he will continue this drinking habit...
cat tail, i also know 2wks is very short but what to do now... the idiot agency played me out, so angry that i wrote an e-mail to them and as expected, no sound no picture from them.
wendyg, hokkien also got the same custom of cutting bb hair at either 1 or 4mth. ds hair quite long and the top part is standing out, like the zhou da di in tong xin yuan. born in yr of rooster, got rooster hair-do!

Hi Applejuz,
I think your boy has more hair than mine he is sooooooooooooooooo cute!
Just brought my baby for his 6-in-1 jab. The clinic did an assessment on him. Looks like he is progressing as the other babies @3 mths. The doc said if he knows how to put his hands together and/or he knows how to grab the thing I hold in my hand then he is progressing faster than other babies. Anyway, he now weighs 6.5kg and stand at a height of 62cm
I'm a proud mummy today! Hahahaha...

Hi Wendyg,
Your baby so chubby... makes me want to kiss his cheeks.. *muah* & head very round hor.. Keyon's head still irredular, so dare not shave. I'm Teochew too... cham lor, hope my MIL dun insist we shave...

another pro, besides lesser shampoo, save money on hair cut too.
I've to spend $5 to cut that little bit of hair, if go kid's salon - $15! & so fast gotta trim again..

not that he knows how to pose infront of camera lah, but he's looking at mummy. duno how come now he's always looking at me when someone else carries him. my hubby so angry that my boy do not look at him when he carries n play with him, cos my boy will jus turn n look at mummy..heee..
btw,tis nursing room is e new 1 at e new stretch of children's shops. its much nicer but e nursing cubicle very open, u need some1 to start n guard for u during nursing.

hi ilmare,
caring for a more demanding baby, like mine too, is more tedius than usual. i'm at home alone with Zephan most of the time, and i take care of him at night too. Half the time i'm almost tearing my hair out! We've started letting him stay at my parents' place for a day during weekends, so that i can get a breather and some time to relax. Of course, still got to do housework n express milk, but at least not as tedious.
sometimes i also feel that hb doesn't understand how tough it is to take care of a baby, bcos the only time he babysits are when he's well fed n asleep. But when he does help carry him once in a while, it's a good break for me.
about bathing, i bathe Zephan alone too... though it's a little tricky to juggle, but can be managed. which part of the bathing u find difficult to handle?
wendy, dunno whether ur method of "training" hb will work on mine, cos he operates on a "need-to" basis.. i.e. he doesn't pick up baby when he starts to cry.. only when it's persistent crying! I cannot tahan that arh... i must not be around else i'll definitely walk over to pick him up first.
but recently my hb began to discipline Zephan, like not giving in to his whims n fancy. Like when he cries to want to be walked around all the time, he just put him on his lap n looked at him calmly n after a while, the crying stopped.

wendyg,
My MIL is a hokkien. Apparently she insisted me to to bring my gal to trim her hair before her full mth too. I oso dun noe why?
ilmare,
Better dun let your parents tell your hubby off cos most man dun like it. U try to blow up & let him know u r really mad.. Btw, what is the name of your maid agency?
cookies,
Your boy's eyes got "shen"! Like using his eyes to talk.
ineedmilk,
ya, it's always very hard to tell MIL off since she's doing us a favor. As long as it's not a big issue, we can just close our eyes.
re: shave hair
Anyone has shaved her baby botak? I think I better do cos every morn sure see a lot of hair drop on her pillow.
re: discipline
Hi ting2,
I am curious how did your hubby do it?

Wendyg,
your boy so cute!!! He look so intent in the 1st pix. Want to pinch his face....
Reenie
Thanks for the tummy tip, will try one of these days to put Haowen to sleep on his tummy.
Re shaving
I shaved my boy botak in his 1st mth cos his hair looks so bushy like grass. Will probably do it again at 4th mth cos his hair still grow quite unevenly. Even my nanny's 10-yr old daughter told me my boy's hair stand up like that of porcupine....
