Tab/krissie - yeah i am also very tired lately. need to be at work on time at 830. before that need to send Caleb to my mum hse 3 days in a week. so every night i sleep pretty early. i usd to be able to stay up till midnight but now 10pm and i be like zombie. i try not to carry caleb as he is also getting heavy. last weigh was 9.4kg. but thankfully there will be 2 mornings i need not send him over as he will stay over at my in law hse. that's when i can go pak tor with hb like today and tmr night we will pick him up. so at least a breather for me to do my own stuffs. but then the missing part is there lor. guess have to give and take la.

sleepingdeer/cass,
i was thinking of switching to livejournal yesterday but after playing around with it, i find it too chim and i don't like the ads. unless i take the paid account. so decided to stick to my blogger. anyways, the main reason i wanted to switch was that i saw some pple's LJ can upload pics. but then i realise after i changed my template in blogger, the pics can appear bigger too when i import from flickr.com. so i'm going to stick to it! so now u gals can view bigger and clearer pics lah! hehe...
flo,

krissie,

RE: playgroup
I'm onz with buffet for kids but i must say i'm not that good a cook leh. Heehee. Maybe we can list down what type of foods we intend to cook & bring??
As for bubble-blowing, i think babies won't know how to blow. We adults blow the bubbles and let the kids pop them! Quite fun!
There's a big open space outside my flat (corridor) that we can blow bubbles
ky,
i've PMed you my address. But is it at my place or Mamapanda's?

SY,
Wow JH is so smart!
Does he sleep thru the nite most of the time now?
RE: Update on Janelle's sleep
Now i've shifted Janelle to the guestroom which has 2 single beds joined together. She sleeps there for naptime and night. BUT, she still wakes up at nite
The good thing abt her being there is that i can lie down with her and hug her before she goes off to sleep (she'll want to be hugged). And i can do so without exerting my back coz she's quite a load to carry! But the fact that she still wakes up in the middle of the nite means i'll have to come over to her room and lie down with her. Inevitably i fall asleep hugging her to sleep! And i find myself waking up in the room in the morning. Quite funny coz sometimes i'm so groggy i don't even realise that Janelle cried at nite and that i actually went to her room to sleep with her!

re: Biting
Keenan bites for fun!! He's a very naughty boy cos he will constantly pick on Ethan, one time biting him on the butt as its just at his head level. LOL!! He also loves slapping him on the face when they roll around on my bed. He seems to know that he is not supposed to do these little naughty things on the adults but still can get away on his big brother. Poor Ethan...

Cass,
When I had Ethan in London under the NHS, we didn't know what gender the bb was until very late. So I just stick to whites and neutrals. Anyway they outgrow the initial 0-3 mths stage very fast. So dun have to buy too many clothes initially. Where are you delivering the bb?
Rena,
Keenie also slept from 11.45am to 1.15pm today and woke up crying. Think it's becos they didn't get enough sleep, thats why. If he'd napped for 2-3 hrs, he will wake up very cheerful. Will even play contentedly on his own in the cot for a while.
Tabbs,
I will get numb and painful bum-aches if I sit for too long. Also, I'm beginning to feel the uterus pressing down against my bladder. Sometimes when the bb kicks downwards, it feels like the pee is gonna come out or something. And plus I cannot walk too much after eating, the bladder/ bottom of the uterus will hurt due to the pull of gravity.

tabbiesus,
Hee i remember that when i was preggie i also felt very tired all the time...i was sleeping queen! Could sleep from 8pm - 8am nxt day and still feel sleepy!
And wow your kids' names all sound similar! So nice
Denmy,
Haha my fren who has 2 kids also say the younger bullies the older one. And the younger is a 14 month old girl. So i guess it's quite common! Hee
Declan is a very unique name!
Btw are you ordering spinach again?
RE: potty training
I have this book ToddlerWise that's quite helpful on potty training. After reading that i think i'll start potty training only at 18months or beyond. To me, it's no point if they only learn how to poo in the potty and not pee (since their bladders are not able to hold the pee before 18months). So i'd rather do everything at 1 shot! Anyway, Janelle hates her potty right now.

Poor duncan had to give in to him everytime. Told duncan that if didi bit you, you cannot beat him..tell mummy, grandma..or whoever...we will punish him. Lucky duncan is very guai and give him to his didi most of the time....

My younger SIL finally finally decided to announce officially she's preggy. Her gynae scheduled her to go for the chromosomes test but her hb n her decided not to go for it! Her hb is SUPER pantang type. He said 'so wat if it shows a high risk of down syndrome? i can't dun want the baby wat.' Then he said everything will be normal one lah, no need to stress himself going for such tests. Anyway his mum's generation didn't have such tests and everyone's normal.
I was quite angry to hear him say it like this. I didn't say anything but inside me i felt his thinking is very naive. Because we do not have stats of the number of down syndrome kids born in our mum's generations doesn't mean there isn't any! my uncle is one!
If such tests are available, why not go for it? Esp if your gynae recomm. If you don't trust your gynae, how can u trust her to deliver your baby!
So my hb n i also discussed and decided we will not offer to lend my maternity clothes to my younger SIL unless they request. Cos his bro so 'pantang', wait he say becos she wore my clothes she got a gal!

Hi Denmy
ya, the 'help-your-baby-to-read package' ... actually I can't remember what it's called, is for pregnant mother and their unborn babies. It comes with an audio CD, a baby journal and height chart.
Tracy, different people have different kind of "pantang". For your brother IL, he's simply just "yan er dao ling" - covering his ears to steal the bell ... not knowing if it will happen doesn't mean it will not happen. Knowing it earlier might help you to get prepared if it does happen. But some man are quite MCP and think they have all the answers so you need not bother yourself with him if he doesn't respect your opinion.

Tracy, different people have different kind of "pantang". For your brother IL, he's simply just "yan er dao ling" - covering his ears to steal the bell ... not knowing if it will happen doesn't mean it will not happen. Knowing it earlier might help you to get prepared if it does happen. But some man are quite MCP and think they have all the answers so you need not bother yourself with him if he doesn't respect your opinion.

ak,
i'm currently using a Chicco brand given by my fren. I'm planning to buy a Britax if taka baby fair has an offer. Britax can sit from birth till 4YO or 18kg.
ky,
sigh..i guess so. why do i even bother right? guess it's juz the aquarian in me. When an Aquarian thinks he is right, he will stubbornly stick by it.

JH is so clever. Mel doesnt know sign language; shell walk to the kitchen and keeps pointing either at the milk bottle steriliser or milk powder and keep saying mum mumhaha
SH/SY
Theres a VCD titled signing times that teaches bb sign language. My PD lent the disc to my SIL and my hbs colleague has one as well. He finds is a good way to communicate with his son whos born in Jul 05. Apparently it will help tots to overcome the terrible 2 stage cos they are able to express themselves better and get less frustrated. Humm, maybe I should let Mel watch the disc everyday
Krissie
Congratulations on your #2!

re: housework
I hire a part time cleaner to come to my hs once a week for 5 hrs. She has been with us for almost 2+ years. Shes very good and efficient; I dont even need to give her any instruction. Apart from cleaning the house (even clean the window sometimes) and ironing, Shell even put my bedsheets/clothes into the washing machine to wash when she sees the laundry piling up and hang them up before she goes home.

re: sign language
i am not sure if its a good thing to intro or not. coz i have this frd who son is already 2 yrs plus but cannot speak. he can only go uh..uh and use sign language to communicate when he is hungry, sleepy, tired, etc. his mum said he watches the signing video when he was young and picked up from there. Then there is another frd whose child is younger than her son by a few mths, he can already start talking like wait, i want milk, cannot, ok, etc. but the other one can not utter a single word at all. apparently, the child feels that his parents understand wat he wants and is lazy to start learning to speak properly. i am very surprise with the outcome of his child coz its obvious his child is very slow in speaking. no one can understand him except his parents and those who know the signs.

flo, thanks for your email. replied you liao.
sign language,
i have been showing edgar the baby signs vcd since he was a baby. but not everyday lah, just once in a while, or i just on the music cd. i stopped doing that when he was about 2-3mths. can't remember why, maybe just plain lazy me then one day he surprised me by signing "milk" when he saw his milk bottle! totally amazed by it, i started showing the vcd to him again. now he has picked up like 30% of the signs. but sometimes he gets confused and anyhow sign. he also beginning to say single syllables words so i don't think learning sign language will deter their speech. now i just on the vcd to entertain him during his meal times. since i like the songs as well.

Medela PIS
1. sunny - powerful pump, help let-down fast, i can finish expressing within 10 - 15 min, great for working mum, used more than 1 yr and still functioning excellent. But, it's heavy to bring around and not cheap for the parts.
2. celine77 - like sunny, i think it's great in helping achieving letdown coz it has a Let-down mode which other models doesn't have.
3. krissie - think is the best of all the pumps i tried. (better than Ameda). Good let-down reflex. Can get 2 let-downs pretty quickly. For me, in 20mins. But, the pump is v heavy.
4. mamapanda - regretted not getting this pump earlier. Was using the medela double electric and ended with engorged breasts. Bought the PIS-advanced during my 5th month and never got engorgement anymore after that. Pumping was a breeze. Fast and efficient. Now, I'm still carrying my PIS backpack to work everyday. After awhile, you get used to the weight. Actually, its not heavy if u don't bring along the medela icepack. (Well, its definitely tons lighter than my notebook. I carry a notebook and the Medela backpack to work everyday). You can buy your own smaller icepack so that its lighter.
Ameda Lactalin
1. Krissie - Pump is light. But, not as efficient as the PIS. Hard to achieve 2nd let-down. must wait for qt a while. But, shld be ok for pple with v good MS.
2. Angelk - Pump is light and can be battery operated but you must use brand new batteries else the suction not good. Difficult to buy parts as they changed agent. quieter than medela I believe.

5. xjysg - I only use this vs the other 2 Medela (E and E+). Love this as it helps me pump 3x a day and quite a fair bit each time. No letdown function with this old model. I leave it in office as I had to bring 3 sets of funnels + bottles and ice-bag to work. I'll pump and work on my laptop at the same time. It comes with battery compactment so I can pump outside for eg in the car too

Qn on Positive Babies trial ... can I ask the mummies there if it's worth a try? The timings are all ridiculously near lunchtime and I'm put off by the distance. I'm thinking of taking bus down for tomorrow (Friday's) session (11 - 1145pm) but wouldn't be joining as doing that each week would really stress me out... I'm not prepared to drive with a cranky baby nor spend more than $15 on cabfare, so public transport is my only option.
