carole: yah... me don't think i can cope looking after 2 babies by myself.. so prefer zoe to be more independent before i have another lor..
ruff: potty training.. me!! started but not sucessful leh..

planning my son's 1st bithday there too.... seriously speaking... able to cope or not i guess its very individual. if one is gng to separate many yrs apart then give birth again, i guess the coping part will be more difficult as everything u got to start preparing as the older one is no longer using cot and one might have just given away or etc... but if we have it now, stress is only one time. i am actually keen in having 2nd one, but till i settle into my new plc and till my peak period is over. I am nt those who wan to wait for yrs to have another one. Its very tiring to wake up in the middle of the nite just to nurse them, i would wan to do it once and for all.. over n done with.. since now i am still nursing Clarisse in the middle of the nite, havin the next one wont be an issue as the break wont be that great.
adel: i understand u are trying to tell urself abt the negative pts on having the 2nd one. but i m sure there are + pts to having a 2nd one too. Keep giving neg. pts will only land urself more upset. and to make it worse, if u really happens to have 2nd one... not knowingly u will not love or even care for the 2nd one more.. trust me, its never tt bad to have a 2nd one. who knows it will be another darling in years too come.

I still remb my gynae asking me not to drag too long if planning 2nd one .. reason given: one might be too comfort if drag too long to start all over again.
Adel: dun think so much and let it comes naturally. when u r mentally prepared then start planning if not then just be happy with the current state and live with no regrets. Afterall life are short and we must live happily & contented each day. haha

actually i'd prefer to have my 2nd baby soon too.. but have friends that have babies with a 18-24m gap and they all tell me how tough it is to cope and how important it is to have help (having parents or inlaws or maid) if not the older child tends to be neglected and i simply don't have that kind of help lor.. it will only be me looking after 2 babies.. sometimes i envy my friends who have parents or inlaws helping them look after their babies.. at least life is easier..
was talking to hubby last night about timing our next baby and he just told me that he probably can only take 1 week leave when our next child is born and at that point in time, working hours will probably be something like 6am-9pm 6 days a week! plus the weekly night shift
sigh.. that means i have to literally look after 2 babies all by myself even in the beginning! was thinking about how to cope and was actually thinking about sending zoe to full time childcare for the 1st few months and even that is a problem cos hubby can't even be the one to drop zoe and pick her up.. i will have to do that carrying a NB baby! and the last time round it took me close to 2 months to heal, couldn't even sit without pain .. sigh.. feel v frustrated trying to figure out how to make it work.. and i know i have to figure it out cos it i don't, the one that will suffer is zoe.. sigh..

in a weird way I'm kinda glad I won't have to make that decision to have a 2nd one, due to lots of reasons. Having Xaby will have to be enough for me.
Maybe when she's bigger i may consider adopting another one, but will have to depend on a lot of factors....
do you girls think it's possible for us love an adopted cild as much as we love our own?

potty training ~ ash has been telling us mmmmmmmm.. when she wans to do business den we have to bring her to the toilet bowl
but den for wee wee.. cannot make it.. ha ha.. still early.. anyway we did not train her for the poo thingy, we jus came to realise tat period of time when she feels like it, she wil come to either one of us and go mmmmmmmmm.. so we decided to let her sit on the 'throne' and ta da! hee..
#2 ~ as much as i want, but den like wat some mummies mentioned above or wat carole has mentioned before the few things we have to bear in mind.. and i dun think im in the rite position now for it
patsy ~ about the adopting issue, guess it takes alot of sitting down and thinking properly... not much comments on this area though but den maybe slowly first?</font>

patsy: Adopting is never a bad option. Will the adoptive parent gng to love the adopted child as much as their own? I guess its a very tough question to answer, as its really depends on how much you wan the child to be part of the family. If i cant have a 2nd by natural, i will may one day adopt one too. But u have to always bear in mind 2 things, 1 - will be able to teach the elder child to accept the adopted child, 2 - the legal $ and adopting $.
carole: yeah, i know.. one consdieration is whether the hb can accept, coz i think as long as i explain to xaby the situation she will appreciate the adpoted child, not sure about HB tho, coz he didn't really want kids in the beginning, so dunno if he'll love the adpoted one as much as he loves Xaby now.
is it ex to adopt children here in singapore?? never thought of that!

Fun: This Nordic Naturals is available only at Vitakids. The omega3-6-9 I'm giving my girl costs abt $62 after the discount. During my birthday month I get 20% off. heh.. My girl used to have bad eczema and she was always prone to respiratory problems like bronchitis/cough/cold etc. My friend whose 2 kids are asthmatic tried the oil (recommended by someone else) and saw drastic improvements in both her boys. Their asthma attacks have lessened and when they fall ill now their recovery is much faster. The same is happening to my girl too. The eczema has cleared and she is not ill so often anymore. More importantly the bronchitis hardly comes back and when it does it is mild and she recovers quickly within days. However, the oil has to be taken continuously for abt 6-8 weeks to see the effects.
My girl is already onto her 2nd bottle. Each bottle lasts very long cos they only take 2.5ml per day.
If you recall some time a few months earlier the Straits Times had a feature on fish oils and Nordic Naturals is one of the very few certified safe fish oils available in Singapore. Fish oil is good, but with all the chemicals ppl are pumping into bred cod/salmon etc these days our fish really aren't all that safe anymore.

Fun: haha! My birthday is in JUNE leh!!! Still v long.. I'll need to get a bottle in a couple of months I think. The last time I bought 2 bottles but my maid accidentally broke one of them! Heart v pain but too bad, no use crying over spilled oil.
You can tongpang 1 bottle with me the next time I go and buy lah. Got 10% better than no discount right? Maybe if we can get a few more mommies I can see can get 20% from Vitakids or not.
Yea, my girl only take this oil. Other oils nvr try. She likes the taste of this oil too. But personally I can't stand it! Haha.. When Ember gets a bit older I'll make her take the oil too!

I should think its v possible, but gotta see what the response from the mommies first leh. Alternatively you can bring bb to Vitakids and sample the oil and see if bb likes it. When they are v young it could be a struggle getting the oil in leh. That's y I'm also waiting tilll Ember grows bigger. Oh, and the oil should be taken cold so that it tastes better.
SO ANYONE?????
SO ANYONE?????
