Evon,
you preggie too? *clap clap* wow.....more 2nd time mommies!!!

Mommies on the MumCentre mailing list, did you get your publications? They din send me for the past 2 issues leh...
 


chenoa,

I never ever receive a single issue of MumCentre mag since I subscribed online. They only send me some vouchers as welcome gift ler. But they did give me a list of the places where we can get it FOC.
 
Daphne,

so you order already? I have yet to order from them. Still have 2 more packs at home. Do let me know how is their service.
 
Rach,
You are staying in East n I am in the North. Hmmm, see who else staying in the Central area is kind enough to open up their house for us. If not, is it too far for you want to bring Ryan over to my hse to play wif Reanne? But need to tell you 1st hor dat my hse is not spotlessly clean one ler n messy with toys laying ard.

<font color="0000ff">Chenoa</font>, Tks. I'm fine.

I hv seen the Japanese merhod to shut up a crying baby.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is abt the sound that you made during wine tasting to stop the baby from crying. According to the video, can use H20 also.
 
tracy, thanks. bb no.2 is ok so far. Waiting for another scan this friday to detect hearbeat.

Erm...actually no. 1 and 2 the symptoms abit different. With no. 2, I crave for meat rather than fish, ms also seems to be worse off as in off and on throughout the day though never throw out. Just feels different..heehee...

Hey, anyone having plans for another baby gathering? I am working mom so can only make it on weekends and public holidays if there are some arrangements.
 
hi, I'm from Mar 06 thread. I'm looking for kids to form a new class at My Gym @ Woodlands Civic Centre, on Sundays, 4.00 to 4.50pm.

Currently, we have 4 kids and need at least 2 more as the minimum size is 6.

Cost is $300 for 8 sessions + one-time fee of $55. You could arrange separately with them for a trial class. For details, pls check the website www.mygym.com.sg

Anyone interested, pls pm me. Thanks.
 
babe, i'm also a working mom. why not you organise one la i sure join you one!!

chenoa - mom centre mag i have nvr gotten any copies except free vouchers lei.
 
JAPANESE VIDEO
i think i read it some where that when your bb is unsettled you can do that gargle sound close to bb cos it reminds bb when she is in the mom's womb. thus feel comforted... but now our bb so big liao still works meh???

anyway i signed up for this music class rite and i told them last week that i wun be con't cos m shifting to another area.. they told me that i did not give them ONE months notice so my $50 is forfeited!!! i'm only one week shy leh... so strict meh.. told me cos they hve to plan for the next term... so heart pain.. $50 leh!!! a lot of $$ to me since i'm a SAHM. in order to get the $ back i've to sign up another term!!
to add: KINDERMUSIK- i think not that fantastic lor.. they intro instruments to the bb but less than 1 min they take it away and rotate... the teacher added that the space in this school (this is the one opp parkway,above McD) is rather small so not much space for the bb to roam abt..and they put diff age grp together. i'l try the TANGLIN kindermusik the next time cos the have a bigger space and the segregate the kids according the their age.

RE: MumCentre Mag
bblim/momyam, at leats you all receive vouchers....me receive nothing leh...anyway, I wrote and asked them, they reply<the> Boohoohoo...no more free mag...
 
opps...just realised the message did not appear.

The Apr issue will be our last magazine as we are shifting to an entirely online resource centre to provide mothers like you with more articles, events and benefits.
 
Hi ladies
mia 4 quite sometime as i have been ultraly busy at work..sian..no time to even browse thru e forum which i used to..heheh..
so how hv u all been? Indeed been a while since we have any gatherings hor...looking forward ^_^

RE: Mum Centre mag
yeah...Chenoa, u didn't mention i also never realise that its been a while since i received the last issue for mum centre mag..rem e last one i received was the one w e 1 for 1 promo for Globetrotters which i used for our March gathering.
 
ah ya... mummies u mistake already la.

now, can't play such game la.

juz tat happened to talk /w a couple of mommy friends who plan for second one n share with me that their friends told them second one tend to be either not feeling that bad or could be at the worse side and so ask around to prepare myself.

one of their friends first pregnancy was fine but the second one, she had to take at least 2 weeks of leave to lay in bed and so... juz trying to get myself mentally prepared.

Anyway, XT is so hard to take care.

Recently she is waking up every 2~3 hours for milk at nights!

Worse still, she seems to be crying at the time between 10~11pm almost every night since last Monday.

Is this normal?

Funny thing, is once daddy carries her, she is fine. Yet, daddy can't be at my mom's place at other days lo. So, my mom a little scared why XT is like tat.

My DH was thinking of asking his mom to go ask the gods on why XT behaves like tat too...

Big head.
 
hello....
i got a job!!!! Cathay pacific has just emailed me yest that my application is successful..... HONG KONG here i come.... eat and shop and eat and shop..... hahahahaaaa.....
 
Keke...Draik. You are so funny.

Strawberry,
Congrats congrats! Finally able to regain your long-lost freedom.
 
Strawberry
congrats sia..so when will u officially start work? How to settle gab then? Leave her w someone 2 t/c or cc?
heheh...i also want 2 go HK..yummy delicious food..heee...drooling oredi.

RE: Bb temper
any of u ladies find that ur bbs temper getting more worse recently? ivec really has a bad temper..want means want..cannot wait..& he scream & shout until very jia lat..& he's v persistent somemore..cry & wont give up..hmm..any way to counteract this? We tried ignoring him..but only worried tt he cried too much, then will hv a lot of wind in his stomach..:p
 
shylyn, MINE MINE MINE!! in fact, he has never have a good temper before lei. since the moment he born, my gynea says "wow what a fierce bb" sigh. now worst, if he dont the things he want he will be so angry that he tend to hold his breathe.

We tried NOT to give in, but har very difficult lei. i'm not worry abt the wind, i worry he hold his breathe till he faint.

Wind - u can give him eat some xing feng shan or gripewater. if not, try to distract him lor.. that's what i've been doing. keep distracting him until me and my maid both really very tired.
 
momyam,
Dun worry, if he hold his breathe and fainted, he will start breathing again once he has fainted. We cannot kill ourselves by pinching our own nose. Muahahaha.
 
dear all.
thanks... hmmm... if there is a machine to shrink you guys up i'll definatel pack you guys with me... hehe...
as for GAB she'll be taken care by me mom and grandma and maid and dad if he's ard... and dad will take her to HK for 2 weeks to visit. dont want her to forget me leh...

BAD TEMPER
yes GAB's temper has gotten very bad. it was rather bad to begin with. once she was throwing her temper.. she shock her shopping cart till it was dismentled.. so i went to super glue it back. another time she did it again but the cart din fall apart... that made her even more angry!!!! such a small thing but such giant temper... phew!!! and if she dun get want she wants she'll just whine and whine... buay tahan... but if she throw her temper for no apparant reason they we "bo chap" her.. during this time if you come to her she'l walk away.. wah lau... act "si me tao" eventually she'll cool down and come to me.
hmmm.... was it something we ate during pregnancy that caused this outburst in our kids????

FORMULAR
anyw... since i'll be going to HK soon.. cross my fingers if everything goes well... i'm trying out diff FM for GAB. i tried pediasure.. cos she "lao sai" so doc recommended this.. she's taking it pretty well.
cos i think some of the mommies were saying its too sweet.
so i bot GAIN IQ... mixed with milo cos i know for sure she don like... i tested on her just now and true enuf she rejected.. so am wondering if there is anyhing i can mix the FM with so i can BLUF her??
btw i bot the wonderful MEIJI CHOCOLATE milk for her... she oso dun like... sigh..

thanks
 
strawberry, if she only takes pediasure then guess no choice guess you will have to stick to that. Milo with FM shouldnt be a issue la.. no worry for that.

have u tried NAN or Enfagrow? i thk either of them has diff fav can remember which one. Or u can try Meiji has this jap bottle look like yakult. U may want to try if she can drink from straw.

Swimming diaper - i buy from Toys R us under huggies swimming diaper. got girl and boy version one if i remember.. but should be the same usage la. U want to bring Gab to swim har? now very hot lei, remember to put sun block hor.. or u can bring me along i should be big size enough to block the sun hee heee

Draik, wow liao u make me laugh lei!! grrrgghh
 
MOMYam,
i let gab tried the MEJI chocolate again today... and she drank!!! yeah!!! need to try and try ya... at least if she can't finish i can help her... if FM no way man... pretty yucks..!!

yes tot of bringing her swimming cos shifting to my grandma's and there is a swimming pool there... now too lazy to bring her swimming cos have to bring so many things out.. i'm a lazy mom..

anyway will b changing maid again.... sigh... my grandma is really hard to please... dunno who is telling the truth...maid or grandma???
 
mom & strawberry
hmm...is it e norm 4 our bbs 2 hv such bad temper? really got to do w something we ate during our pregnancy? hmm..according 2 my hub, his niece only know how to throw her temper when she was abt 2yrs old..unlike ivec,somemore can rem he's angry w u & will ignore u somemore..

RE: Swimming Diaper
heheh..we used normal diapers when we brought ivec 2 swim..didn't know where to get swimming diapers then..heheh..but i was rather impressed w e size of a diaper after that..really swollen w water! Dunno whether its e urine or e water..hee...

Mom
yup..gave him gripewater..& somemore rub ru yi you on his bloated stomach..heheh..can really feel e difference after he had a terrible cry..stomach is bloated like a balloon..yeah..Ivec also turned blue & held his breathe whenever he has a terrible episode..all of us will get worried & quickly carry him..heheh..but what draik said is correct, i read somewhere that bbs will breathe as per normal once they fainted..
 
Funny incidents
heheh..would like to share funny incidents & we could laugh away at our little ones.
Dunno whether its my feelings, but sometimes I feel tt Ivec will get jealous of my hub (as he's very close 2 me)..hee..for eg, 2 days back, while in e MRT, i was tired & laid my head on my hub's shoulder to rest (ivec was being carried in e carrier by my hub facing outside) Ivec turned to look at me & he also wanted to join in by laying his head on my hub as well..
& another incident, while walking, my hub & I held hands (ivec was carried in e carrier by my hub as well), he also stretched out his hand to hold our hands..heheh..so cute..
 
Hi, finally can serve web here but may not be able to serve often (cos hubbys back from States and partly busy shopping before my No. 2 comes out near end of the month. Hahajust wondering am I the first Apr 06 Mum to give birth?

Today, we had a belated mini birthday celebration for my darling Amanda (just Daddy, Mummy and her). How time flies, she is now 76cm tall and weighs 9.4 kg.
824720.jpg


I believe the rest of the mummies must be feeling happy and glad too, now that our darlings can walk, express themselves and call us mummy etc.

Talking about bbs jealousy, my dd also was jealous of my hubby when he hugged me and also wanted to be hugged too. Many have warned me about siblings jealousy, which the elder will get jealous when the 2nd one comes out. So just have to pray that this dd wont be so jealous of the No. 2.

Fyi, there is a Motherhood Fair coming up at the Singapore Expo from 7-10 Jun.

Hunniepot can pm me your email address again. Thanks.
 
Stepz, congrats! That's very soon...Hope all prepared ya... I am sure Amanda will love the little one.

Hmm...haven't tested out if bb will jealous of Daddy but I know for sure night time she only wants to hug me to sleep. Last night dunno she bad dreams or what. Cry at 3+ and Daddy attempted to carry her and she screamed. End up lay on bed and hug me like a tree to sleep.
 
sibling rivary
i think as parents we have to deal with it properly... if #1 and #2 cries.. tend to #1 first cos by now they roughly noe whats happening. my fren's #1 was so jealous of #2 cos parents always run to #2 when he cries and ask #1 what did she do? why he cry... as a result #2 got bitten!!!! anyway as bb he wun noe much and plus not very good to run to a crying bb immediately..
its a very delicate situation... i remember i hated my lil sis when she was born cos all the attention was given to her.. for 6 years i was the only child. i remember telling my dad that i was to be "mei mei" instead...

i don't think i want to have another one so soon. but i wonder if i can and able to give the same amt of love to #2 as i give to my daughter. i love my daughter so much and i can't imagine having to split the love. mayb i will since #2 is also my flesh and blood..

most parents say they love ALL their children the same but i think sure there is one parents love more.... i used to think my mom loves my sis more.... but now that we'r all grown up i think now she loves us all the same... mayb my sis a lil more cos she's always sick and weaker between the both of us...
 
STEPZ
CONGRATS YA.... you are very brave to have them at such close intervals....!!!

Jealous of dad
i think if hb and me hug and gab saw us.. she'll come and hug us too... sometimes she'll push dad away.. tat day, dad held me hand and she threw his had away... haha... that was funny... of cos between the both of us she prefers me... sometimes she don even allow dad to carry her...

GAB was like tat a couple of weeks ago BABE.... she kept waking in the mid of the nite and climbed on to me and hug me to slp... it was very sweet but got diff in breathing...
thats why i'm afraid that if i go HK for 6 weeks this bond will break.. and GAB will forget me..my mom says i'm crazy!!!
 
my bb also throws alot of tantrums. But wat i do is, i distract him to prevent too much crying. maybe mummies will like to try that. also, mummies can try watching CH8 on Sat, 9.30 - 10pm slot: NO Kids is a Bad Kid. I personally find it pretty informative.
 
tantrum:
My girl too, when we dont give her the thing that she want, she will sit down...kick her both leg, use her both hand hit the floor and cry with big mouth. So, now everytime we want to get the thing back from her, must talk to her nicely...say " give...give...give back..."
Normally she will show to return u, but then pull her hand back, cos she 'bu she de' to return the thing...
 
Hi all,

<font color="0000ff">Non-Toxic Crayons/ Color Pencils suitable for young toddlers</font>
Any idea where to get these coz my gal likes scribbling on paper recently.
 
Oh,and I thought that my boy is the only one who is getting all whiny now and throws tantrums when he does not get his way. Getting embarassing somestimes when we bring him out for meals. He will bang loudly on table or keep kicking the table. A few times, we turned him away from the table to face out and he ended drawing attention from other diners coz he kept pointing at people and shouting. sigh!

Wondering if he is entering pre-maturedly into the 'terrible two' phase or it will get worse??????

But the funny thing is that he will be more like that when my mum is around. My mum takes care of him most of the time. He really knows who to bully..... Kids nowadays...

cheers
 
Hi,
thanks on the congrats. Actually me not brave lah cos' No. 2 is by accident, hee... (so hard for me to conceive Amanda, but never expect so easy to have No. 2, maybe it's God's will cos' me getting old, better clear fast). On second thots, think it's not a bad idea to clear once and for all
kao_wink.gif
cos' can only apply for NPL for 3 years max.

Strawberry - thanks, think it's a gd idea if No. 1 and 2 cry together, shld attend to No. 1 first. Will try, dunno will forget when the time comes. Just like I had attended prenatal class on the importance of breathing during delivery. But when I delivered Amanda that day, my mind just went blank, didn't even remember anything learnt at the prenatal class. But think now have to constantly remind myself not to neglect the No. 1 when No. 2 comes along.

Getting the crayons for our kids at this age now is recommended by one of the books I read. Dunno maybe Toys R Us or Kiddy Palace may have?? However, currently I'm letting my Amanda to write on those magnetic board (safe and erasable). My dd loves it.
kao_clap.gif
Maybe the mummies here want to give it a try.
 
TIFF / HUNNIEPOT
