Violet

hehehe. yupz.

etelle
It is similar to chicken pox with blisters and such but affect mainly adults and elderly and it's more serious than chicken pox. There's a lot more pain involved and is activated by the dormant chicken pox virus. My aunt had shingles and can tell she suffered quite badly from it.

re: Learn Swimming
My fren's son 3YO+, attending his swimming lesson at Singapore Sports School now... dun seem to have age or height limit. It is an indoor pool.
School name: Speediswim
$70 per month
Criteria is able to take instructions well and no fear of water

 

[mashybrainz]

siewlng

haha, my boy definitely cannot join the class coz he can't take instructions unless he feels like it. So better don't risk.

I sent you a referral email le...

 

[claire_liu]

siewlng

[siewlng]

Claire
Ya according to Dr Ngiam loh...

[claire_liu]

siewlng

My younger girl immunity not as gd as xr, already kena viral infection last mth, then now get again. Worst thing is once 1 gets it, the whole fmaily kena

 

[bulma]

ya.. now my family also lk dat.. 1 gets it, whole family will get too

 

[etelle]

Bulma/ Claire
think cuz everyone is involved in taking care of one another so very hard not to spread to the other one hor...

 

[bulma]

cham lor now i sick lor - down w sore throat, flu and fever.. siao liao lor... hope the kids dun get it else cham.. once they get it, like what bochap says, difficult to recover one haiz cos the 2 of them also sensitive nose de

 

[violet_blaze]

bulma,
all the more we hv to take good care of ourselve not to fall sick so we won't spread to them lor.
Hope you went to the doc to get medication already... take care...

 

[etelle]

Bulma
wear a mask at home can or not? but bring the primary caregiver also tough for you le..unless ur hb can take over for the night...

violet
when kids fall sick it's so tiring for parents le...

 

[violet_blaze]

ya lor stella,
it will be even worst if we r sick and still need to take care of them when we pass the virus to them lor

last time my hb very stubborn, refuse to see doc when he is sick. After we got kids, i will 'explain'(actually is NAG la) to him. Now he guai guai see doc whenever he is down with something lor.

 

[ter_wen]

stewIng - got let him try antibiotics? think once my son running nose also very long then we bobian gv AB. then he recover quite fast.

[jappooh]

Hi gals,

long time didnt post liao.. Have my detailed scan yesterday and everything went well.

I am expecting a baby boy.

 

[summer_bb]

Hi Jappooh
Glad to hear that everything's fine. Elvin is your boy right? sorry ah, been a while so a bit blur liao. If I am right, then good for your boy... a playmate

 

[koli]

hi jappooh
congrats! i am into my lst 2 weeks of 1st trimester. still MS a lot. vomit everyday. i still bleeding everyday. so sian

 

[etelle]

Jappoooh
yeah lor having he same gender they have a play mate le...

good...

Koli
you take care yeah.. as long as bb is healthy...bear with it hor....

 

[koli]

etelle
thanks! but my prg notso good. still bleeding a lot. waiting for report to be out. dr peter chew just did a test on tue to find out the cause of the bleeding. haiz... dunni how long more to go. so tiring

 

[jappooh]

Hi Summer,
yes elvin is my boy. Ya he going to have a playmate.

Etelle,
ya i am gald as well. Just that now dunno wan to send elvin to cc or get a maid when bb arrive. My MIL cant decide yet.. Let her choose cos she will be the one facing the maid most of the time.

As for cc i worry elvin dun eat well and cry loh cos he is super sticky.

Koli,
do take care and rest well. Though i am in my wk 20 already but my MS still with me.

 

[etelle]

Jappooh
some people MS the whole of pregnancy one...take it easy...baby is blessing...i know u dun mind gng through it all...

I am sending Ethan to PG next year le..think have to train him to be without me for a couple of hours....dun know if he will cry but i sure know i will...

Koli
dun worrie 2 much k...see what gynae says...

 

[koli]

etelle
when u see him go first few days crying, u sure heart pain one. PG is where?

 

[mashybrainz]

Etelle

Why u wanna cry when he goes to school? It's part of growing up lor. Hahah, I know I didn't. In fact I was very happy when I sent C to school.

Even when he cries for 2 weeks there, I still feel ok. Gosh, am I a hard hearted mommy? Guess I believe in being tough, that it's all for his good. If I'm not strong enough for him, he'll think that school is a prison instead of a place of fun.

Since you're sending Ethan to school next year, u can start preparing him this year by doing pretend school. Act as a teacher and he is a student etc. Then by the time he goes school next year, he'll be more ready and won't cry as much.

 

[etelle]

Koli
PG is playgroup...yeah lor he has never left my side and be in the care of unfamiliar faces before...first time...haha heart pain ah...

Mashy
i also feel i should be tougher...haha but hor cannot control one le..sometimes tears run down before i could have a grip le..haha i got start preparing him le..i keep telling him when he go school he be inside with teachers and friends and mummy and daddy cannot go in. Then teacher will tell story, play games, draw with him. Then after that mummy will come and pick him le.

When i asked him are you scared or will you cry. he said no. hee think Ethan shd be able to cope well...cuz he likes to play with other children. Let's hope so.

 

[mashybrainz]

Etelle

I think I'm the kind if my boy cries, I will toughen up. It's only if he first steps into school and waves goodbye to me, I think then I'll probably cry coz my boy has finally grown up and is 'leaving' me. Hahaha.

 

[jasminesym]

Etelle,
Don't think so negative, our kids are tougher than we think. My boy cry 1st 2 days, never cry le. Now, just run in, got no time to say bye bye to me. Esp boys, we must be tougher with them. We are paying money for them to play, not suffer. Probably, if you think like that, you will feel better. I know how you feel, i was teary when he go to sch but my boy actually run in happily, I know my worries and tears were uncalled for. We have to control our feelings le.....

Koli,
Congrats! must take more bedrest with your spotting.

Jappooh,
Congrats, 2 boys, huh? hehehe...can save money on lots of things.

 

[koli]

etelle
dun wory heart pain but when he settle down u sure happy

jas
thanks! very xin ku but i will persevere. prob going bk to teach next jun. bo bian expense high budget tight

 

[jappooh]

Hi Etelle,
i was thinking of sending Elvin to childcare and worries he cry and dun eat well also. I also cry when think of it. On the other hand i tell myself it a phase for him loh. I hope i will not be so heartpain loh.
