Don't mind your MIL too much la... it's already been done and said. Anyway, I do hope you have a smooth pregnancy! I guess it's better for us not to mention to MILs until the pregnancy stabilizes.

Ok, noted about deli sausages. Will get that for my boy to eat.

CL
Thanks for informing the bookfair.
 


polysps
I had a polysps near the fallopian tube opening on just before I conceived Ariene. It could have reduced the chances of conceiving but its hard to tell. On the other hand, 3 years before I had Ariene, I also had polysps and I had them removed at KK but they will just come back. It may or may not have been the cause for my two etopic pregnancies. Till now, nobody can tell me what exactly caused them. So far, don't think I have any polysys in me anymore or at least my last pap smear didn't report any sightings of one.
 
Mamapanda

i read that if there's some scarring, it could prevent the fertilised egg from implanting properly and it gets stuck in the fallopian tubes. Maybe that's why?

Re; preg with #2
I'm so tired and have to take care of C. How do u all manage it?
 
CL
thanks for letting us know about the bookfair, will go there this week =)
btw, the bookfair will be located @ the ground floor?

Mashy
since words are out, dont be too bother by it. most important stay happy and enjoy this pregnancy.

so fast the tired period kicks in for you already. how many weeks you are in now? i started to feel restless and want to sleep the whole day when i was about 2 mths plus. have to hang in there and try my best to stay awake to take care of dylan =p he nap i nap with him too.
 
may - thks for the details. the lady is preggy and she said she did make effort in weighing the stuffs and getting her hb to post it. don't want to bug her further. i dun think i will trust delivery via SP anymore. still prefer to collect it in person. haiz.

durianlover - nice to hear from you. how are you coping over in sydney? i kinda miss the harbour view and the nice weather when i was there in Sept. C till this day still remember sydney whenever he sees koala bear and kangaroo, he says i like sydney and then he will narrate his experience there. so funny!
 
ssf/may,

i opted for reg mail from one of the spree and end up receiving it via normal mail.
When i asked her why sent via normal mail instead of reg mail that i had opted for (already paid).
She told me that she already pmed me that the postage is not enuf...but how can she just send my item out without my confirmation.
And also i did not receive her pm. She could have post it on the thread.
I was upset coz the total of my items cost around $70 plus...but was lucky that i received it.
Till date she had not refund me the balance of the postage after deducted from normal postage.
 
aiyo, bought a bed for damien over the weekend, hope that he will be able to sleep on his own bed even in the same room. but he still asked me to sleep with him on this tiny little bed...what should i do now?
how to train him to sleep alone...he still woke up in the middle of the night and sleep with us.
 
Hi mommies,

Mashy,
your MIL should have let you have the privacy to let you decide whether you want to let other people know about it, since you are the mother.

I started getting really tired in my 3rd tri, just wanted L to come out and be done with it! Haha... hang in tehre, I think 2nd tri will be much better...


May,
wah, your MIL sounds like she die die must have a grandson huh? Actually, I really get fed up of people who insist on having boys, whats the problem of having two girls? I feel really blessed that I have two girls, in fact told my hb if we have a 3rd one, I hope its a girl, then 3 sisters will be close!
happy.gif
 
belinda - oh my! so irresponsible of her. she just want to finish her duty of sending the stuffs. but i believe my seller is genuine la..she even took the time to reply to me and wanted to refund half. but i said its ok...not a big amt anyway. regarding the bed, i bought for C an ikea bed..and it has been like 1 mth old and still not in use. i also have no way to put him on the bed lei unless we moved the bed to another room and have hb sleeps on the floor.
 
sleepingdeer,
Yap.. they are quite biased. Die die want boy. But we couldn't be bothered, just happy with two gals will do.

Mashy,
Ya.. like Rachel, When J nap, I try to nap. At night, I will get hb to help. Try to get ur hb be more involved with C so u can catch some rest.
 
mummies
been sooo busy. jx hasn't been sleeping much. dun understand how she manage with so little sleep. she sleeps less than JH!!

may
your IL are terrible. make this kind of comment....

mashy
hmm, somehow will manage. best is to get hb more involved. when iwas preggy with #2, there was a period of time that jh fell sick and i was taking care of him all alone. really very tiring. so try to get hb to help.

mummies
anyone interested to get stickers for your kids' bday? got some nice princess/hellokitty/winnie the pooh stickers.

also got this sticker that has water inside and it has a moving object inside. can PM me if interested and i will send pics.
 
CL
Nice piece of work! If Mel saw the rocket maybe she'll fight with Aden...haha. So do they have Little People book at the fair?

Mashy
Don't worry, I'm sure your pregnancy will turn out fine.

May
Just ignore your ILs. Now is a different age oredi, boy and girl are the same as long as they are filial!

SY
Have PM you
 
Re: Biased In-law
It's ok, I am used to this kind of treatment. My MIL is a very straight-forward person. She will say crude things to attack me almost everytime we goes back. Used to go back every week but now alternate week cos hb start to see how she treat me already. Perhaps she is jealous that my hb is more concerned abt our small family rather than FIL and her. All her children are not close to them as both of them are workaholic even till now. Actually I expected more crude comments from her last sun, so this is still ok. Just keep quiet and let my hb defend. hehe.

SSF,
My encounter for the 2nd time is worse. Cos I had a private PM from another mummy saying that she paid for the same dress and did not receive also. We suspect this mummy is a liar. She did not post out the dress. We are suspicious as there is only ONE dress she posted. How come both of us got the same "results"? Transfer money but did not receive the dress. Only when I post in the forum and ask her, why I haven't receive.. then the other mummy PM me that she also paid for the dress !! From then on, I only join spree that is near my hse, so that I can self-collect. Or only spree that I know that person.
 
CL,

Aden is in cherrie heart CC?
I am thinking to place damien there (Cheveron branch) next year after my SIL give birth.
Dun think my mum is ok to handle so many of them even with extra help from the maid
My only concern is that he will fall sick easily.
Btw, is charmine going to before/after school care?
 
Hello mummies,

Flo,
Me and HB are thinking of arrangements when #2 arrives. At first we are thinking of letting Isaac continue with Purple Train and put #2 in infant care. But that's additional cost of at least $600 a month. Then we thought maybe send Isaac to Fulltime childcare instead and my MIL can take care of #2. So we checked out Kinderland at Civic Center and didn't really like what we saw...
and we spoke to my parents about it and they are not that keen to have Isaac in childcare, so my mom volunteered to take care of #2, which is fine except that she stays in Jurong West! Anyway, me and HB has decided to see how it goes in the next 6 months or so since I'm due only in Apr and there's maternity leave to clear after that.
We are not keen to hire a maid.
 
SSF
Ger is also sleeping on the Ikea Todd bed. We put a mattress below on the floor as he'll roll off the bed. There was once Clare was sleeping there and Ger rolled onto Clare.. haha.. luckily, my hb happen to come into the room and I asked him to remove Ger before he squashed Clare. it was qt a funny sight..
 
Belinda
Yup Aden is at Cherie Hearts but Tan Quee Lan near bugis. Maybe better for damien too. Charmaine will be taken care by my sil as I will arrange for school bus to send her to sil place. She has no sense of urgency so I need to send her to sil who will be strict with her. That is why now I am sourcing for enrichment class for her that she can go around same time with her cousins and free her weekend. But it seems like P1 classes are always Sat.
 
Hi mummies
I'm tired tired tired with the 3 kids.. wanna faint already. phew...

Mashy
Dun worry.. you and bb will be fine. dun think too much.

CL
wow the clock very nice! very impressing..

May
like all other mummies has said.. dun let our IL affect you. YOu are the mummy to your kids after all. As long as you and HB is happy dun care about what IL say.

Re: complaint a bit abt MIL
Haizz pls allow me to rant abit here..
MIl has been calling and talking to her friends over the phone and say how vex the kids is and blah blah as if she has been doing a lot for the children.
But the fact is she is NO taking care of them much except for cooking for them.
HB and I shower and feed, helper help in changing their diapers. Nap and nite time I put them to bed. When I'm not pumping I attend to them.
I'm willing to do all these, they are my kids..
but all my MIL does/did right now are mainly go marketing which take up most morning, when she back hide in the kitchen and prepare lunch and dinner, late afternoon watch TV.
I dun even have time to watch TV, the only time I watch a video is when I'm pumping...
and she cannot calm Kacia down.. simply cannot. when kacia cry.. she just pace outside my room when I'm pumping and aiyo aiyo and expect me to stop pumping and attend to bb. I'm so stressed up.
when bb cry always asked if bb wanna eat even if bb just ate not long ago.
It's really frustrating..
Sorry for my ranting...
p.s.: today is last day of my current helper.. she is still scolding her.. for what? just let her leave in peace also cannot.. I really dun understand why,
 
CL,
my main concern is damien's health as he tends to fall sick easily...we need to monitor him first.
I think i need to go down and have a look at the cc first...either the one at Jalan Jurong Kechil or Cheverons.
i am staying in between this 2 branches.
Charmine is in the morning class?

Ya agreed with you that alot of enrichment classes are always on Sat. I had already signed up chinese (Han Yu Pin Yin) class for him as some of his kindy classmates are attending together.
I am still sourcing for Math tuition for him. I am thinking to place him in Kumon.
 
cookie
you changing maid ?

Belinda
Yup NYPS all single am session thru out 6 years. She will have a hard time man.
My sil says bukit batok has got a maths class which is not bad. I go get the info for you
 
mashy,
haha, i was also tinking if i'll turn out to be a terrible MIL in future!

cookie,
oh dear oh dear...your MIL is not helping at all. when is your new helper arriving? It must be really tiring on you cos for us 2kids during weekends already make me faintz. And worse when our #1 is at this terrible twos stage. It irks me too when there is someone at home to help but not helping at all, and worse when they claim they are helping! I guess can't tell MIL off so we just gotta do our best on our own. Kacia needs to carry carry? Can put her beside you while you pump in a rocker and when she cries you can rock her with your free hand (if you have the free hand that is).

Feel free to rant here, we all understand wat its like.
 
krissie - at least your Ger wants to sleep. mine simply refuse to. even if he put him after he sleeps, he will still crawl back to our bed in the middle of the night. yest, hb put J on the bed and sleep with him in another room. guess that's the only way out.

cookie - sure pls rant it out here. thats what we are for. i am so afraid of this ILs issue, tats why i insists on staying on our own. i told hb, one hse can only have 1 woman. haha..way before we married, i have already set the ground rules. ur mil is simply not helping at all...she is only creating more issues with the maid. so this is #3 maid? dun get too stress out too..at least ur hb is helping out. so not so bad. just ignore MIl,. imagine a world without her and prove to her that you are independent even without her help. one day she will realise that you are so capable and she has no value add to the family at all. you are doing a good job. so continue to press on. remember you are the gung ho mummy from pasir ris!
happy.gif


Sy - can send me the sticker's link? C bd is coming soon. maybe can use that as a goodies for his classmates.

wenyl - how is the holiday program that E went? does he enjoys it? C dun seem to remember anything from the program. so sad. not sure if those morale stories are more suitable for older kids. when i asked me , he dun seems to remember anything.
 
CL
my helper gng back home to get married. SO no choice I'm getting a new one.

Tracy/SSF
yes it's the #3 helper liao. Hope she is good.
I have to be fair to MIL.. she is not not helping at all la.. she cooks for the family and kids and when I'm pumping she does help except for things mentioned above.
aiyo gtg now.. finish pumping!..
 
Cookie,
Hang in there! For me, with 2 its already a handful, esp #1 demands lots of attention from me & #2 now also gets jealous & wants attention from me. When is ur new helper coming in? Why not can put K1 in cc earlier? Then u can focus on ur K2 & K3 in the morning. Can start K1 with half day n maybe by the time u go back to work, she will be ok in fullday cc??? I think ur mil is just highlighting to everyone that she badly wants a break. She going for her holiday soon right?

SSF,
E is enjoying his "zoo" class (as wat he & K calls it. heehee). The 1st few days he had separation anxiety & cried when going in to class. Now he happily carry his bag n wave bye bye to me. Phew! So I continued another week with him. I tink they are able to understand some of the stories, like the rabbit n the tortoise. E roughly narrated the story to me in summary only. But he can't really tell me the morale of the story but when I explained it to him last week, he sort of understand it. E likes the teachers there.

SSF
Ger's used to sleeping in his own room. He used to slp on his own, then hb created a bad habit of putting him to slp. So, now, I had to continue.. but, what i do now is to put both to slp together.. so, at least just need to waste 1 pax instead of 2 pax. last time, was hb puts ger to slp, while i put clare to slp. I just spent my 1hr of time to put both to slp.
sad.gif


cookie
no probs venting.. that's what we're here for mah.. i can imagine.. like what the rest say. My 2 darlings are already keeping me v busy, not to mention u hv 3. Yes, agree with Wendyl tt u can consider K1 in CC. I find it helps a lot. For us, we'll usually let Ger stay in sch, then like if we're on leave, hb and i can go see show or run errands, etc.
 
cookie
I think it's a good suggestion by Wenyl for K1 to be placed in pre-nursery so that it won't be as taxing for you and there's always a back-up contingency plan if such things occur. It frees up your time to tend to K2 and K3 respectively.

I can understand that it's not easy to having to keep changing maids, especially when MILs are involved!
 
SSF
Was reading your bed problems with C. I think just have to keep telling him that he is a big boy le, need to sleep on his own. I guess just have to accompany him in his room till he falls asleep. Leave a night light on in the room so that even if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can see where he is.

I'm not sure if by locking your room door is going to be of any help....might be "evil" to do that lah.
 
Hi mums..
thanks.. yes yes I'm starting kae in jan on full day CC. I think it's better to divert her attention. She is driving me crazy these days with her insecuirty.. always cry without a reason and very clingy. As much as I want to bao bao her.. but sometimes it's really tough to attend to all 3 at the same time.

Wenyl
My MIL gng holiday only after CNY and still dunno when. I will start full day straight.. the cc not near le. by the time I send her and back.. very soon need to pick her up again.
She is usually happy in school so I hope she will be happy too with the new school.
Just pray hard she dun fall sick too often..phew..
 
Hi Cookie,
*Hugz* It is a really tough time for you. Hard to juggle with family, MIL, maid and work. J is crying without reason recently too, perhaps it is a phase bah. I got impatient that I got to talk to her with a cane in the hand. JIA YOU okie ??!! Ask for hb help whenever it is possible.

Mummies,
Can I check if anyone knows of any sales going on for Peg Prego pram ? Or where can I get cheaper Peg Prego pram?
 
cookie,
i am facing another set of problem. My sil is giving birth in Mar next year.
I dun think my mum will be able to cope with 3 kids + 1 infant at home although there is a domestic helper at home.
I am thinking to place damien to CC (fulltime) but duno how to tell her.
Apparently damien was already being neglected by her since my #1 nephew (1 yr younger than damien) is born.
I think i will wait for the bb is born than tell her that we had decided to place damien in CC.
 
Belinda,
Try looking for a CC first lor. Then when time is ripe, break the news to her. Cos some good school will need to be on waiting list.

Mummies,
Feel like going to Genting for a short trip in Jan. Can I check with u all, can I still travel out of Singapore by coach when I am 28-30 wks preggie? Should be ok right?

Wow, your mum can open child care centre already. Hahah. So many kids! Last time my grandma also same thing, took care of 6 of my younger cousins with my aunt. But as they got older, became easier coz they started to play together by themselves. I stayed with them for a while too (in my teens then) and had to babysit and play pretend games with them. They seemed to really enjoy the time together and has since been very close to each other. But it's so noisy. Can get deaf under this env. Times flies, now there already in their teens or in uni.
 
May

I think maybe can check with your gynae. I suppose it should be safe bah since it's just to Genting. But u will prob be feeling very tired from the trip.
 
mashy,
agreed with you like cc..and cc with boys only....hahahahaha.
can you imagine the noise that they created in the house.
these boys can fight over the so many things, toy, chair, bicycle, tv programme....even a tiny pc of biscuit.
 
Belinda

But they'll grow up close to each other which is a good thing too.
happy.gif
All kids fight anyway esp boys. So long as they don't get too violent should be ok and learn to settle their disagreements amicably.
 
Toddlers still on milk
Have any of the moms here switched to the Stage 4 milk for 3-7 years? I recently decided to just go ahead and change to the stage 4 milk, so far so good, my boy is taking well. He still loves his milk very much despite having his regular 3 meals with snacks in between. Unlikely he'll stop anytime in the near future.
 
Mamachan,
I just switch J to Pediasure. She is still a milk craze. As she will be in childcare, heard that Pediasure had more nutrients and even if she dun eat much in CC, it is enough to supply toddlers with daily necessary intake. At first, we are mixing both kind of milk. She is currently taking Friso Gold 3, got no intention to let her carry on Friso Gold 4.
 
Milk
Since damien turns 2, i had already switch him over to pediasure..he is still not taking much...only 2times per day ..total 280ml only.

I wish I can feed C with Pediasure coz he's so skinny. But too bad he's allergic to cow's milk.

We did an assessment at the PD lately and he's like 3-5% for his ht and wt but his head circumference is like 75%. Gosh, he has such a big head!
 


Belinda,
Any change in the poo of Damien? I noticed Jamie only poo once a day now. She is drinking 210ml x 6 times of milk daily. Could it be too much?
