Seabreeze,
Today, I am chilled out now. Yesterday, I was so mad tat I dashed home without realising my hair is so messy. Then I behave like a "siao" dog barking at my maid.... even my bossy MIL got to stand one side & keep quiet. When I calm down & think abt it, it's just so funny.
Haha.. your maid so "chang chui", any food also want to eat! Got tell her tat if she want to eat, must let u all know? Better dun make it a habit for her.

eileen, hooray!! gd 4 u!!
it's so sweet of ur hb 2 bring u 2 buy d pump rite away. okie, let me noe which day u can make it. btw, pls note tt ur 3rd mth ML mus b taken within 6 mths fr ur EDD. if nt, it'll b forfeited.
i need milk, actually i dun tink i'll b getting any bonus except d AWS. so i dun understd y they r doing tis. d best thing is : 99% of my colleagues r women, so they shldn't b discriminating against women rite??
aidanee, yeah, ur boy had better b filial man. after all tt u hv gone thru 4 him. m tinking of whether i wan 2 incr my ss again. same as u, i aso heartpain 2 c my boy constipate. actually hb told me 2 b a sahm oledi. tink he heartpain 2 c me 'suffer' like tt. m considering actually. do u noe tt my boy oledi noes tt i hv 2 go 2 wk every morning. when i kissed him bye bye every morning, he actually looked sad & pouted. makes my heart breaks when he does tt. sigh...
re. how much 2 give: mayb it's time 4 u 2 incr his milk oledi since he fusses after his feeding these days.
re. maid: imo, i tink tt it's still better if some1 is around 2 monitor them. if nt 4 tt tinking, i'll definitely not agree 2 my fil coming over 2 stay at my plc!! argh... had an argument wif hb over tis yday nite. sigh...
moulinmum, ya, i support ur tinking. bt my boss dun tink tt way leh. sigh...
cat_tail, oic. seems like ur maid is a bit 2 much liao. shld let her noe tt she's wking hard 2 save $$ 4 her family back hm. spend so much $$ 2 make phonecalls 4 wat?? waste $$ & she can't do anything. can u confiscate her hp or something?? let her noe tt u meant serious biz tis time.
seabreeze, hehe... ur mil's maid is so funny. mine is d other way round. she eats a lot. my margarine, cheese, vegetables, fishballs, biscuits, coffee, etc, she finished them all veri fast. so when hb wans 2 maggi mee wif veggies & fishballs, he realized tt thr's no more. boy... he was hopping mad. d best thing is, my maid nvr tell us tt it's finished liao. so now, we 'banned' d maid fr eating anything except bread & margarine. anything else, she'll hv 2 ask 4 our permission.

vone, i also support u to be a SAHM, its good that yr hb supports e idea cos not all hb will. anyway, since u don enjoy yr job, y not quit 1st n c how's things later on. but of cos u need 2 consider yr pros n cons for that. i talked 2 my boss yesterday about my intention, guess i surprised her since she jus promoted me. but she surprised me too, cos she's so supportive n wanna fight for me to get waiver of notice, but of cos ended up with a bad news lah.

Re: Milk intake
thanks for all the valuable advice. had increase 10ml. he finished that but still looked for my breast after that. he cant be drinking that much cos my pd only allows max 120ml every 3hrs. (Seabreeze yours is safe n healthy) i have exceeded that amt already.
eileenp,
u can lah...just drink alot of fish soup.....pump every 3 hrs. that's y i also took unpaid leave this month to re establish my ss.
RE:Going out
for mummies who gives EBM, how do you cope when you go out for more than 6hrs? do you bring along your pump? bring chilled milk or give the freshly expressed? my trips out with hubby are usually short so that it doesnt disrupt my milking session. i dun want him to latch on during the day cos eventually, i have to go back to work.
Triniti, any advice? or you direct latch on?
Re:Maid
Actually i am staying with my inlaws who go to work from 6am -7pm. so the maid is with me at home. but i seldom let her handle the maid cos she is not my personal maid. (quite political here)
i ever asked her if she can take care of bb for me when i return to work, she said ok! qutie happy abt it. That worries me. hahaha...
Vone, so who is in the house with the maid when you are away?
Re: PRAM
want to get a new pram cos the handmedown is very bulky n heavy (that deters me from going out alone). Any recommendation?

thanks for the info on the bibs - i'll go check it out!
hi vone,
aiyah, most of my saturdays also burnt working, esply 7 jan cos that's soooo near the deadline i gotta meet for one of my clients... sigh!
re: sahm-ing
i also wanna stay home with jeremy but when i really think about, i think i'm not up to it, especially when j's really fussy cos i'm quite the impatient sort! plus i'm scared i'll become super huang lian po - i'm already halfway there liao, if stop working, sure die!
but then again, nothing beats being able to watch your child grow day by day, witnessing all the "firsts" in his/her life... *sigh* when i think about that, i really wanna stay home...
hi ladies,
do you know where we can set up stalls to sell stuff like earrings and bracelets? my sil (who's only 16) makes them from swarovski crystals and she wants to sell them to supplement her allowance, but dunno where she can do it leh... any ideas? thanks!

if you quit your job, you can help you hubby in his business rite? at least your fil comes over to help. SAHM-ing can be alittle boring leh...unless we meet up often and have tea/shopping! but that's being a tai tai liao...hahaha...
RE: PRAM
do you have any in mind? my sis said she has another combi for me, but only 2 positions. cannot lie flat. so it may not be suitable for infants. my current one is super heavy n BIG. I thought of lucky bb since so many of the mummies here are using it...must be good....

Christina just smsed me that she paid S$700plus for her quinny buzz (w/o car seat). but very good looking hor. i will think twice since the reason y i want to get a new one is becuase the current one is heavy n bulky.
Wendyg, so maybe a combi is good enough? i can get it free from my sis...

And to add on my courage, I know she dun dare to be funny cos she knows how easy her life in this household. Wait ganna transfer to 3 storey bungalow, 3 children household.. then she knows..heehee..

can any mums help me? took chloe for her polio jab y'day and she's been running a temperature...its about 37-37.5 degC. though i suspect its higher because my braun ear thermometer is too fat to go into her ear for accurate reading...
should i give her medicine now? or hold it until her temp gets higher? did u all give bb medicine straight away regardless of temp?

re: PRAM
my boy is using Kraft, sold at john little. v basic pram, but roomy n not heavy. easy to manouver. minus: reclining adjuster quite makeshift looking, n sunshade does not cover down the entire seat. bought it at $169, which includes an infant car seat.
re: gathering on 25 jan
am ok with both venues.

thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it!
