Hello mommies...
Long time no "see"
Finally got some time off with my mum around
A needs lots of attention lately.
mspiggy,
You going Perth again ah? So nice...
mich,
Hope Bren gets well soon... I am also exhausted. It's really not just tired, really exhausted. Sometimes regret for being preggie now It's no good for the babies inside, but cannot help it.
SM:
They are into franchising it now. There will be more centers or schoolds that will be using "Shihcida Method" in Singapore very soon. Those not in the franchise cannot use the word "shichida". hee... Just met a venture capitalist last weekend who is in the process of setting up a franchise in Singapore. So by next year, nobody will say they are monopoly lor... I still feel that for SM, software still the most important.

mtdt,
I dunno... It will highly depend on their franchise system. If system very good, then standard will be there. But... I havent seen the "software" in the teachers they have currently, so dunno how it gonna be like when it's franchised.
hahaha... move to KL. The SM fees there are cheaper.

poohy,
I am already starting to feel guilty sometimes for not doing as much "tai jiao" now, and not much time to do lots for A too. Dunno if I can cope when the twins come. I am also contemplating not going to have a maid, but sometimes I have second thoughts, cos I felt like a mad woman and a maid. hahaha... Your mum is really very capable in handling two kids. Most of the times, I dun even have time for my own lunch, so my main meal is only dinner...
You are also a very dedicated mother already.
Can share with me how did you prepare S for J's arrival last time?
steffi,
Do you know exactly how to prepare A for the babies' arrival? So far, I only tell him verbally that mommy has babies inside. Sometimes he will stroke my tummy.
I have not much time to read up on how to get him ready the "correct" way. I gotta revise the "tai jiao" so that I dun missed out too much, find out how to cope with A, etc. Too much to read... Plus sometimes so exhausted to do anything and just wanna sleep.
I am very lucky cos my hubby will take over to look after A and play with him at nite, but sometimes he lost his temper, then I gotta come in when he goes and cool himself down. A is quite close to his daddy, but sometimes still need mommy, especially when I have not been giving him enough attention.

lyn,
talking about mad woman and maid, I still feel like one now. totally can understand that feeling of guilt. Hmm.. especially when we believe so much in the providing as much stimulation to our child when they are as young as possible, attachment parenting etc. Having another child before our first turn 3 seemed to contradict and "obstruct" those huge plans we had. I also sometimes wonder why I wanna have another so soon... biological clock I guess and because I really love children.
Maybe because I was not preg with twins, during the time before J's birth, I was not as tired out as you may be feeling now. I was significantly more tired but it was manageable. But I was feeling tinge of guilt in anticipation of the soon to be splitted attention for S. I spent a lot of my time with S... teaching him, playing and all. Not much time for myself to rest, not much time for me to even really talk to J, dun mention about tai jiao, no matter how much I believe in it. I was preparing material for S and at the same preparing for J (checkerboard, etc). Double stuff to do. Emotion wise, nothing that I can relate to him cos he was below 1 year old at that time... still so young. I dunno how to put it... but if we keep having high expectations of ourselves, I guess we will end up not be happy. In the end, I have to be realistic that being a mother of one and being a mother of two and two really young children at that, is different. Plus working full time, so it means I gotta "lower" my standards here and there, delegate some of the things I would love to do for them myself, be more forgiving to myself. All these does not come overnight, it took me a year to become slightly more forgiving of myself for not being able to do so much more for the 2 of them.
With three, its even more tough. that's why I am still hesitating on plans for no.3. In any case, I guess life is just filled with gains and loss. You gain some and you lose some. if you know what I mean. You do gain the affection of 3 children. You have the love of not just one child but three darling children. Triple the joy in life. Beyond brain stimulation, beyond whatever development, isnt life more about love, joy and laughter... i think those are even more important. Relaxed. Be well rested and happy. I think it will affect A and your future babies much more positively than any brain stimulation programmes... that's my opinion.

mspiggy,
I am growing fast and getting heavy very fast now. Sometimes, no time to rest.
Steffi,
HX is so sweet... will kiss your tummy...
poohy,
Sometimes I was wondering how can we cope without a maid. It's seems like a norm in Singapore to get a maid when we have the second kid. I am trying to "study" how do people in other cultures that do not rely on maids cope. Do you have any idea?
My hubby wanna be a daddy of 5 children! ***faintz***
Yalor... Need to be more forgiving to ourselves. Sometimes cannot help it but think too much I think I need to know and plan some balance and be prepared for them.
Wen,
Have you sent May the application form? I have yet to receive anything from her.
SM is good, but not the center they have here
Dor,
Enjoy your shopping in Sydney!
Nowadays, I cannot let A climb over me already. I feel pain, so will turn to my side when he wanna climb over me. A also loves to poke my belly button. hahaha...
Sometimes I feel very guilty when A run to me with his book or toy and sit on the kitchen floor, wanting me to tell him what he's pointing. I felt like not having enough time for him. Sometimes, when I see him flipping his books, I will sit beside him and read to him, but sometimes I got no time for that.
