Wenyl,

Ya Mamachan is correct..start with rice cereal then slowly introduce fruits and vegetables. Introduce one new one and observe for 4 days for any allergies before introducing another. I used to have a menu schedule for renee n leroy ..can try to dig it out for u if u r keen
happy.gif


Tracy,

hehe i guess sometimes its really frustrating when it comes to pil's but hang in there..i've attained enlightment with regards to them already!!!hahahaha

RENEE

since tues evening of fever, she's been constantly running high fever..i'm already like a 99% zombie by now..having to neb leroy and sponging renee..her fever hit 39.4 yesterday afternoon
sad.gif
and its on again now so just sponged her and waiting for morning to bring her to the doc again

Mamapanda,

i think somehow we become more patient after we have kids. i'm glad things are well for u again!
 


tracy
your MIL is really weird....and that's so mean to comment that u r fat...u just gave birth leh. what does she expect...

wenyl
yeah start with rice cereals, then after that one thing at a time. mind your body had an article on weaning this week.

esther
oh dear hope renee fever comes down. whats the reason for the high fever?

mamapanda
good to hear that u and your hb r alright....

mummies
my mil also very weird. yesterday we had lunch with my il, my sil and her hb. then after lunch i realised that she actually chose to announce that my sil is pregnant when i happen to bring JH out of the room to go toilet. i find it so weird. we had the whole lunch to talk abt it but she din talk abt it until i went of the room like for 5 min. then after i came back, no mention of it also. it was only when i saw my sil eating sour plums then i ask my hb is she pregnant... i dunno whether i m bring oversensitive but i feel that by doing that she makes me feel like i m not part of the family.

anyway i m quite sure i will start hearing her asking for things from me. i dun really think my sil will really wan the second hand stuff but i m sure my mil will start thinking of ways to help her save money. but i think her kid will be quite poor thing cos will be same year as my second one and my mil likes to compare children.
 
Hello mummies,

Tracy,
Hang on. MILs are a different breed. I have also learned to ignore my MIL's idiosyncracies. Telling my HB is of no use as well cos most of the time, he either thinks I'm too petty or that the issue is too trivial. He'll feel that I'm criticising my MIL for nothing. So I basically stopped complaining and swallow my anger most of the time unless it's something so bad that I have to speak out no matter what.

Mamapanda,
Glad to hear that things are working out with your HB.
Can I check with you, the Oral B toothpaste need to rinse?


Flo / Valerie,
Isaac is starting PT next Monday. Can I check with you, do I have to pay the 1st month's fee with the $500 deposit? My HB feels that if need to pay fee in advance, there is no point to the $500 deposit.

RE. BD
Seems like we all have the same problem. My situation is still all right I guess, once a week or every fortnightly. I wonder how those annual sex survey can show that Singaporean couples have sex once a week on the average. They either did not have enough samples of married couples or that the unmarried / childless couples are having sex 2 or 3 times a week to even out the statistics!
Anyway, for me sex after having children has changed. It's more for feeling loved and needed rather than to satisfy lust. So to me, once a week or fortnightly is enough. Every now and then I'll give my HB hugs and quick kisses and vice versa for my HB, so I guess those small gestures help.
 
Tracy,

At least you mil wanted to get your EBM for your nephew..my friend's mil is even more funny.
Her EBM is not even enuf to supply for her 1 mth old bb. Duno why her mil still ask her for her EBM.
Think she also want to drink.
 
Thanks ladies,
i was telling hubby abt it last night aft they left. Hubby didnt hear the remarks she made. But thankfully hubby is always on my side cos he knows how 'pantang' his mum is. When i told him abt the breastmilk, he also tinks she's crazy and with regards to disciplining Meg, he said we'll do as per normal when Meg is back at home. Ignore his mum's old wives tales. That made me feel much beta.
happy.gif


Babylon,
ok...your fren's MIL is weird..maybe she wanna use it to wash face to achieve beta skin. :S

Esther,
Oh dear...one after another. You must be reallly tired out!
 
Mummies,
Can share your contacts of private LCs that do home visits? Some of the mummies in the May08 thread needs help with breastfeeding. Thanks!
 
RE: Breast Milk
U all reminds me of my MIL. I expressed milk for Jamie last time, but it wasn't enough, think only 30ml. When I say I give up, wanted to throw away the 30ml, my MIL stopped me. Asked me to give my hb drink. My hb give those kind of YIKES! face. My MIL say u dun want, give me. She took the bottle and go to kitchen. Not sure did she pour away or she drink it herself.
 
tracy
yah, even the whites of his eye is yellowish. when is the next checkup? you have alot of ginger in your meals?
 
mamapanda
thanks =) will contact you on the collection of the frist teeth. most prob is either tomo or sunday.

your patience really pays off and your last trip did improve the relationship further. i must agree on the stress and pressure that we might be giving to them. man can handle tons of pressure from work but not from family, they will just run away. haha

tracy
my jaw dropped when i read about your MIL want to give your BM away without asking you first! really, what she think she is leh. =S

hope that your massage on monday will be very good and the lumps will disappear.

May
think your MIL just drank your BM!!
 
rachel,
jus checked on tuesday. PD said its ok, not high. somehow my babies tend to look yellow. Meg was like that too. PD said if still yellow after 2wks then go back check again. In the meantime, CL is sunning him daily and made some sugar cane + dunno wat thing for him to drink.
 
tracy
sugar cane + something? can help? kind of worry my future #2 will end up in hospital like what dylan went through. duncan do look like meg, especially the lower half of his face. =) so can forsee he will look like you too.

Esther,

i can't imagine that if both my children are sick at the sametime and HB is not around.

Hope both of them get well soon.
 
Esther,

Anyone helping you? I remembered when I had to bring charmaine from paragon to mt e for an x-ray alone in the rain, it was really quite terrible. Can't imagine how you managed to do it with a toddler in tot! Take care!
 
esther,
hang in there! it's really tough on you. remain strong and tide over this tough period. mummy is always the greatest!

esther
sounds like a really bad situatin....hope both of them get better soon! and hope renee's blood test is all clear
 
mummies
i know this has been asked. can provide me contacts of dentist again?

the one that JH goes to is full next week and i intend to bring him on the 9th cos i need to make some transport arrangements for him as well as he has sch excursion
 
Esther,
Renee's situation sounds eerily like what s went through, PM me if you need any info.... S went through 5 days of super high fever, it was always 38.5 - 40, and though the PD prescribe antibotics for suspected Microplasma, it didn't go down after 3 days. I called CL and she told me that Aden's fever went down the very next day after the Microplasma anticbotic was given to him, that's when I suspected it was not microplasma afterall. S also got her blood tested, but she only needed a needle prick leh to test for microplasma, HMFD, and dengue.

May and God'child,
hope Jamie and Celeste recover fast!

Rena,
I actually see Dr Ravin when S has minor flu and coughs, but if her health doesnt improve, I will go back to Dr Tan loh.
 
Thanks for all the congrats

CL, the gerber is still unopened so I can sell it to you. Let me know when want to get it.

Spree collection
Ladies, please let me know ASAP how you want to collect your stuff. So far, only wenyl and Denmy has reverted to me how they want their stuff collected.

wenyl, denmy
Please let me know at least 1 day in advanced when u want to collect from HG as I need to bring your stuff over.
 
Hi gals
Went to see specialist today and i've never been so 'radiated' and have such a 'magnetic' personality. hahaha, went thru many rounds of x-rays again and mris. Cost me a bomb. No broken bones. As for mris, still need the specialist to see me again to give me the diagnosis. Also need to go for physiotherapy. sigh...

Esther

gosh, anyone to help you? It must be so tiring for u!

Like so many kids are sick. C has also started coughing and it's beginning to sound worse. sigh. Hope all the kids will get well soon.
 
god's child - hip hip hurray for you! shiok ya...finally all the stress are gone. nurse yourself & ur family well before rewarding yourself with a good meal thereafter.

esther - oh my ...i hope things will turn up well for you soon. hang on there!

Tracy - Duncan is so boyish and cute.

Mashy - Good to hear that no bones are broken. Get well soon!
 
tracy
BB Duncan is so handsome! Nice big eyes!

god's child
Feel happy for you that you can kiss your books goodbye!! Haha. I got the same feeling 2 months back! But now thinking of doing degree. hahahaha

Esther
Oh dear, sounds pretty bad. You must be really burnt out. Hope Renee will be much better sooner!

MamaPanda
So sorry that my loot is still sitting at your place. Will let you know soon what's my arrangements. Thanks!!

Mashy
It's a relief to know that there's no broken bones! Hopefully you won't feel so sore all over soon, then can TTC again
 
Esther
Hang in there….Are Leroy and Renee feeling better?

Sleepingdeer
Hope S gets well soon too

Mashy,
U take care too....just charge everything to the driver!

Tracy,
Duncan is so handsome, nice big eyes. Looks like Meg is having fun at your IL’s pl. If I were you, I’ll just turn a deaf ear to your MIL’s remarks =p

RE: toilet training
Haha, so Mel is not the only one. Sometimes she’ll tell me she wants to poo poo/pee pee and will take a book and sit on the toilet bowl. But after 5 min nothing came out and then she wanna get off…haiz. She will normally tell me she had pooed and ask me to change her. Actually I don’t really bother to toilet train her cos I guess it will happen when the time comes. My girlfren was sharing with me her experience with her girl. Apparently her girl has “psychological barrier” in peeing in the potty. She will sit in the potty for very long but just can’t pee. One day, she poured some water into the potty while sitting in the potty (without her knowledge) and after that showed and praised her that she’s able to peepee in the potty now. From then on, her girl will take off her pants and sit on the potty whenever she wants to pee.

Rachel
The custom officers will normally allow you to bring water on board if it’s for making milk. I managed to bring hot and room temperate water on board just tell them before hand. Apparently the hot water on the plane is not good for kids cos the previous time the stewardess actually used drinking water from the bottle and soaked it in hot water when I told her I need it to make milk.

Aileen
Apparently now DFS discount is not so good. I heard from my friend’s friend that the co will record the “discounted amount” as part of the salary when declaring income tax but not sure if they implemented it in the end.

Valerie,
You and Kristen didn’t join the excursion? Thot will see you guys.

Queen
Yippy, will tell Mel she’s going to have a new classmate on Mon
happy.gif
Yes, I paid $500 deposit + registration + 1 month fee during enrolment. I think they demand a $500 deposit cos the notice period is 1 month. So the deposit is to prevent parents from withdrawing last minute I guess.
 
RE: potty training
Just to share my joy with you all, there was a major breakthrough in Janelle's toilet-training yesterday!! Out of the blue, she just decided she would pee into the toilet bowl and potty, and I'm so proud of her that there were no accidents at all yesterday (except for her poo)! But of course, we've got to keep reminding her to go and pee if not she'll forget. But still, it's really a 180 degree turnaround from previously, when she wouldn't even pee in the potty/toilet bowl. It's really amazing and very sudden. I can only attribute it to answered prayer! Really was at my wits end and i prayed that God would help me toilet-train her, and He really did
happy.gif


Looks like I can heave a sigh of relief as my family is going to relocate to Australia in July, and I was really hoping J would be toilet-trained before I go if not it'll be really tough to manage all by myself!

Talking about that, when i move to Australia, i'll really miss the ease with which i can shop online for baby items. Just glad that we can all still keep in touch via this forum
happy.gif
 
Mashy,
Glad there is no broken bones. Same same.. my hb got to go thru physiotherapy. Take care, hope u recover soon and get ready for the next cycle to TTC.

Durianlover,
That's a good news to hear J is ready to be toilet trained. On the other hand, it is sad that u have to leave for Aus. Do keep in touch with us.
 
Queen, yup, the $500 deposit is for the purpose that Flo mentioned. Just take it as advance payment for the last month before you withdraw Isaac out in future.

Flo, decided not to go for the excursion cos K had slight fever earlier in the week and it's so bloody hot nowadays. If I go, gotta bring Seth along too. Very leh che. Was Gardenasiakids fun? I found its website but seems like it's closed to general public, only for big groups. Maybe we can organize one among our Jan06 thread.

Esther, hang in there! It must be really tough to handle one really sick child but you have 2 to care for. Hope your babies recover really soon!

Tracy, Duncan has such bright eyes!

durianlover, well done! Perseverance pays off. Keep in touch when you move to Aus!

Mashy, thank God, there's no broken bones!
 
Wenyl,
Was scanning through the posts. Saw u writing something on persistent cough. Can you share more. JW has been having his cough for months too. My hb says dun need to see doc coz no fever or anything...but he has been coughing so much sometime i worry
 
durianlover
gonna miss you when you move to aus... so you will be caring full time on your 2 gals with your helper? your hb secured a job there? which part of aus you all be located? must remember to keep in touch ya!

happy to know that Janelle is ready for toilet training, just keep reminding her and i am sure very soon she will be fully off diaper for good!

Flo
thanks for your reminder, i will bring hot and boiled water on board. might even bring tiger jar with stew/soup on board for dylan =p
 
SH
it is wise to cure JW's persistent cough asap, since it has been for months. it is known that persistent cough in young children can lead to asthma *touch wood*
 
Rachel,
Is this real? The cough and asthma thing? I heard one of my friend say that too. But i din managed to find anything on the web on it.

My hb seems to think nothing of it...even says he did stop in between...but i seems to get the feeling that JW has been coughing non-stop...just how bad the cough is. It gets better and then detorioriate....like cyclical..just never really recover....
 
SH,
my younger nephew often has cough and never really recovered fully each time and continued taking cold drinks. Sadly, it was also becos my SIL and FIL believed that should 'let the kid build his own resistance' so they often stop the cough med before he fully recovers. This year, he got an asthma attack. There's no family history of asthma so i believe it was caused by the bouts of cough that never recovered. So for Meg now, I ensure that she fully recovers each time she has a cough and faithfully feed her cough meds.

durianlover,
which part of OZ you relocating to? Gonna miss you...
 
Mamapanda
Can you pass my stuff to CL. Thanks

CL
Paisei, got to trouble u again.

SH
Mel also has cough on and off since she started sch. I guess maybe should take JW to see a doc? For Mel, sometimes PD will ask me to leave it if it's not too serious. cos she's check if the chest is congested.
 
SH,
I do get paranoid if S cough get prolonged for over a week, coz it can lead to bronchitis, so like Tracy, if I do see her cough is not improving I will bring her to the doc to get it settled. But then again, it depends how bad JW's cough is also, does he cough at night while sleeping as well or is it just sporadic? For s, most of the time, her cough gets bad at night so it disrupts her sleep, then I know its not good.

Tray,
my neighbour is like your SIL as well, ever since I moved into my Hb's home, I have heard their son coughing since he was 1, and 3 years later, he is still coughing, but they dun think its anything serious, can still send him to school, so everyday I can hear him coughing as he is about to get into the lift... faint! And his cough is bad, not one or two, but continous!

Durianlover,
I better return the materials to you soon then! Wow, hope S can be like J one day in terms of potty training!
 

SH
better get JW to see doc and cure it. it's not good to have persistent cough. not good for the lung, too.

esther
how are you? hope your 2 kids recover soon. it's really not easy to take care of sick kids. take care!

durianlover
when are you leaving? all the best to you!
