(2006/04) April 2006 MTB

yah chenoa, that article caught my eye yesterday too. i think we should just follow the old adage "Everything in moderation" ;)

btw, any word on the HT BP? do you think it will come this weekend?
 


mom_yam: yes I tried the sideways too. Very easy to use arr. I learnt it by reading the instruction. I only used the piggyback when I am sitting down as I was afraid that his neck is not strong enough.

However I did not buy it as J still prefer his MIM sling.
 
Mel, hmmm ok i shall try it tonight and see it works for me. i thk little isaac would like me to put him on side ways.

HAHAHA mine is diff.. isaac prefers the Ergo then the MIM.
 
Mom_yam,

pai sey lar..
cos parkway parade always crowded on weekends leh.. so parking very ma fan so am thinking of going on weekdays lor..
anyway, think no response also.. haiz..
difficult to find khaki nowadays...

Mel,

rach - i went on 2 rides only coz with J hanging onto me...i worry wait too many rides will make him throw up or cry at night. Surprisingly it wasn't crowded despite it being a long weekend in HK.

Rach, i totally agree with you that parkway is a bad place to go during weekend. Esp on the carpark.

Also on the khaki part, if i'm not a FTWM i will definately join u.
 
Tomorrow is an outing day for R and me. Anyone care to meet up in the afternoon? In town or Harbourfront?

Mooncake Festival Celebration
Our whole family will be going to Seletar Reservoir tomorrow nite to celebrate. Eat mooncakes n take lanterns. Hehe.. Bought R a Hello Kitty one.

On Saturday, we will be celebrating wif my hubby's soccer khakis and family at East Coast Park. POTLUCK!

twinkle-starry,
Mooncake festival is tomorrow ler. Lunar 15th. Not early lah.

Oh tink i noe how it looks like. Is it the rubber one? How much u bot? $5.50? $6.00?
 
bblim,

Ohhh... dat's cheap. A gd buy. Saw dat too, but my dad worrys it will be too heavy for my gal to hold. So ended up buying the air-filled one. Anyway, I feel machiam all weighs the same ler after putting in the batteries.
 
i didnt buy lantern BUT my fil did hahahaa.. is a doggy one coz' he is the year of doggy. he can hold the lantern but i find the music is too loud for him lei.
 
bblim,

mom yam,
doggy one good lah i want to buy but tat shop dun hv lei.
 
yah, some of the lanterns have such loud music! my niece's lantern is so scarily loud that i decided not to buy for my boy in case his hearing affected, man!
 
fussiecat,

i just cover it with tape so the music is not so loud. I just do it anyway even it is not so loud as i am not sure the loudiness in bb defination

i want to write down my frustrations... i just got back from a biz trip of 3 weeks and everything is out of control.. i left my bb with my MIL, who is a wonderful caregiver, but just not my style..

she carries her all the time..
she carries her to sleep..
feed her to sleep..
when i left, my bb only wakes up for 1 feed around 1am and sleep latest 8pm..
now, she don't fall asleep till 11 pm, and wakes up 4 times a nite on my first nite.. and wakes up at 7 am..

i'm dying, and while i'm trying to discipline and put in some routine.. when i'm got back home, "all i get is why i let my bb cry so much, why i bully my bb.. where got bb sleeps so much.. bb wakes up for milk is normal wat.. "

but if bb dun sleep, i still got to go to work every morning, waking up a few times for milk feed when all she wants is to be nurse to sleep cuz of all the bad habits she cumulative.. all i want to do is let my bb learn how to sleep herself.. rather than use all the nursing tools such as carry and milk.. but it's so tiring..

i'm so frustrated.. i can only c my mil comes into e room to carry my bb out when i wanted to let her learn how to fall asleep herself..

i'm in e room now, bb outside living room w MIL, i bet u she'll fall asleep in her arms, another day of not sleeping by herself.. it has been 6mths, when will be the rite time.. i'm so helpless.. the agony of a working mum, so lack of control over my own bb..

alas..
 
twinkle-starry, that is very innovative of u lei...

fussiecat, u r so right!! i've decided not to ON it ahhahaa... just let hold for the sake of holding :p


kyla, i totally understand how u feel. it is true being a working mum, we dont have the power to control our bb. worst, bb starts to feel distance from us coz' we displine while the rest dont.

Hmmm... i really very thankful i dt have to stay with my in laws. I've just voice out that i decide to put isaac in IFC. both inlaws start a huge bomb on me.

So i can really understand how u feel..... more will come like when to feed bb and what should feed etcs.

U will really have to be patient.... try getting yr ah lou to talk to her. Maybe that will helps.
 
Actually, i agree /w mom yam too. get ur dear 2 talk 2 her. is easier.. i once told my hb few months back, b4 if pils kept carrying her, once she weighed >5kg+, I'd see if they can still "afford" to carry her.

Now nobody dares to carry her for long else later pampered her then jia luck. But tix little gal has a bad habit. If she doesn't sleep enuf for the daytime, she wants to cling onto like a koala cub clinging to the koala daddy and mommy; then she'd sleep. =p

Kyla,
I'd say, u very good and hardworking. I left my darling at home with my mom at my old place till wednesday then pick her & my mommy back to sengkang. I really can understand how it is if the bb can't sleep thru'. coz mine still can't sleep thru. Except from 8pm - 3/4am, the most.

With u working, and got to take care of the little one, really not easy.

I admire your spirit.

Keep it up.

Stay cool and calm when u've such discussion with ur dear.. hopefully he got across the message n inform his mother properly since she's the caretaker.
 
mel_lim,

I managed to find at Admiralty. Pls dun get at the basement cart in CWP. Damn ex. You can try the pasar malam besides CWP, selling many at cheap price too. Saw one merry go round lantern at $4.50 or $5.50. Quite cute.

Change of venue for my family mini mid-autumn festival celebration to the park in front of Northoak/ Woodsvale Condo at 8.30pm. Care to join my little Reanne to carry lantern?

As for the loud music from the lantern, my hubby did the same s twinkle. Stick scotch tape over the speaker.
 
Loud sound:
talking about loud sound... my husband family always like to talk very loud or laugh very loud. As MIL know tat my gal very easy to get afraid then she always like to carry her and talk... Sometime i wish to speak out "as u know she easy to get afraid, then dont talk so loud la" but, i dare not, just keep it to myself. (when see my gal get afraid.....me so xin tong)
 
Mrs Ho,

There is also one thing to worry about.. ur ger may pick up the habit of talking loudly. I have students who simply scream in class like nobody's business and when i talk to their parents, they are also like tat.
 
Hi kyla,

Could it b dat u are too stressed or overtired from ur biz trip? Dat's y u feel so frustrated when u see things changed from the way it used to be before u left for ur trip. I dun agree too with the part u mentioned abt ur MIL carrying ur bb to sleep. If my MIL were to do the same, tink I will explode too coz I as the main caregive will suffer. And try to listen 1 ear in and another ear out when ur MIL starts giving annoying unconstructive remarks, no doubt we sure buay song after hearing .

But as for consistent nite wakings, could it be due to ur bb growth? Coz u can see from above postings, many of us too have such problems with our babies ler. As a result, the number of Spore pandas increased recently. Have u started her on solids? Mayb she gets hungry easily nowadays so need to feed more often.

And my gal too has been sleeping late at 12+ am after waking up from her nap at 10pm. In the past, she used to sleep at 9plus and throughout the nite until 10+ in the morning, waking up to feed twice at 12+ am n 5+ am only.

As for nursing to sleep, until now, I still fail to make my gal sleep without letting her latch on. But it's improving, the bedtime nursing gets shorter.

Hope by sharing wif u dat we actually faced the same problems as u, can help to appease some of ur anger and frustrations lor.
happy.gif
Cheer up, gal!
 
bblim - i'm so agree with u that the s'pore panda has increase. thk if i go china now, i will kanna kidnap by the authority there and put in the zoo..

Hmm... kk i laugh so loud when i see the kids screaming loud and the parents also. DIE! my boi now also always scream for no reason.. happy also scream, angry also scream, play also scream... but me not like lei.. i just talk extremely excited only wor. *so is not me right* hahahahahah
 
mom_yam,

Haha, i think for my ger (loves screaming to seek attention too), it is my fault because i SCREAM at students in class, so she already expert as she heard it everyday in my tummy kekeke..
 
kk/mom_yam:
hahaha...bb like to scream anyhow....somemore their sound so sharp.....

worried that my gal will pick up the bad habit of loud talking....hopefully can bring my gal over to sing when she reach 18m.....hmmmm...now my neck become very long like zirafff liao....
 
bblim - tks for the invite to join yr celebration but I can't leh as so many ppl at hm expect J to be at home to celebrate with them as this is his 1st Mid-Autumn Festival.

You have fun with yr family!
 
Ladies...

And news abt children getting food poisoning and diarrhoea is also so saddening...take care of how we feed our children...no joke...imagine a school's canteen got to close shop and 100+ children kanna food poisoning...
sad.gif


My air revitalisers at work is working full swing. Previously need to chnage water only like 2 to 3 days in a row...now is literally discarding the old water everyday because they have darkened so quickly...sigh...
sad.gif


Brendon has been falling off bed so frequently lately and I tried to go and look for bed guards but to no avail. I need those higher ones because my bed is rather thick. Pls let me know if you have come across them. Thanks in advance.

Anyway, Taka having member's sale this Friday onwards for Taka card members. Anybody wanna join me? Will be there after work around 3 plus to 4 and having Pepper Lunch for late lunch.

Hiya Amy,

Whats the brand of your air purifier? Why dont you put Brendon in the play pen instead of your bed? After hearing abt so many babies falling off, I have been putting Amanda into her cot whenever she is alone in the room

Am also looking for the bed rail for thicker mattresses.. and are there sizes? Cos need one for king size bed..
 
Amy,
you really super woman ah.....working and still got energy to organise sprees and go shopping and chiong for members' sales.
kao_smile.gif


Haze really bad leh.....the more distant high rise buildings in my view now like David Copperfield magic, disappear liao. My nose also very uncomfortable....sensitive....

air purifier is for air-con room right? in non-air-con room got use? PSI now is 130.
 


Lol...imagine you working and every other hour got people sms you whether u wan to start this spree or that or whether you have this spree going on...
kao_laugh.gif


But at least I close the 'tao-tia' wan...the one w the gymbucks lor.
kao_sticktongue.gif


I used the air purifiers in every room. When when I dun switch on the aircon unit in my dining room, I will also switch on the air purifier. We are looking to see i we need to get the plasma air purifier lei...
kao_confused2.gif


Isetan and Taka sales are most worth it for members lor. Maybe replenish on baby stuff and see if can get a high bed guard or not.
happy.gif


Oh..Chenoa, help me update Brendon as 8.7kg at 5 mths.

He looks slimmer now as he only wants the fresh milk and not the frozen ones...sigh... everydau waiting for me and also the newly 'pumped' ones
