lollypop
hehe..me not working for almost 3 yrs plus liao..hehehe
but getting lazier lazier leh...think hor...at times working better
 
dsiitan,
Ya sometimes i miss working. Not so bored at home. With baby coming, I don't think I'll be bored and lazy anymore. Sure very busy. Hee... You know better cos you got more experience.
 
NOIF, oh! so its like mense cramp and come and go kind.. that's means i hav been experiencing braxton hicks.. have been feeling cramp these few days.. but it goes off after a while.. so scared.. cos i hate menses cramps!

lollypop, poppy and dsiitan, i also sahm.. and i stay in tamp! dsiitan quite near u...

btw i think slimming cream doesn;t really help that much one.. its diet and exercise i feel.. cos slimming cream onlys helps in tightening and reducing cellulite.. doesn't really burn the fats underneath the skin lor...
 
lollypop
at times kids can drive u crazy...at times hor..i think i better mum when working..cos only few hrs with kid..so cherish and tend to spend mor time with him..now whole day at home...facing him 24 hrs a day...7 days per week...aiyo...can drive me crazy...temper oso become bad...
 
misaryeo
really ah?? staying at tamp??? hehee..last nite just went TM for dinner..hehehe..last tiem used to work at OCBC Bank...hmm...at tampines loh...the bldg besides raffles medical at tamp juction..where u stay?? nearby there too?? then next time can come out liao loh...hmm...also arrange with fruitee and paranoid...they stay at SK..also quite nearby lah...my place got straight bus...ur side have...i know one buz 27 got go there leh...
 
dsiitan,
yes i agree. That's y hubby told me to get a part time job next time when the kids are older, so that i won't face the kids 24hrs and become another person. Now already my temper is not very good, wonder what will happen next time.

misaryeo,
U are also SAHM, glad to know that there are quite a few in this thread. Next time can meet up after baby pops and when more settle down. I stay in the West & shuffle betwn SG & KL very often cos hubby is stationed there. So at least not so boring.

Ya, its better to exercise n watch your diet to control & maintain your weight. Slimming cream doesn't really help to burn the fats.
 
dsiitan,
ya i travelled in n out until the 35th week when i had to come back for weekly checkup. Hee...gynae approved cos he said car travelling is ok. I also drove until 35th week cos need to go out & get food & groceries in KL. Bo bian lor cos I dun want to be alone in SG back then.
 
lollypop
aiyo..saturday hor..this thread like very quite??? all still sleeping ah?? hahaha...so sianz..only 2 of us chatting
 
hihi.. yah me stay in tamp, abt 4 bus stop away from interchange.. have been staying at home since 3 mths preg.. however i'll wanna go back to work after delivered.. so sian of staying at home already.. heng my mom helping me to take care after i delivered... i dun think i can face my baby 24/7 leh.. i'll sure go crazy.. prob after confinement rest another 2 to 3 months then get back to work..
 
so gd got plan liao..gd gd..
at least ur mum can help u taking care of bb..me no one to take care unless maid or babysitter...will still try to take care for a few mths...best if can take care till 18mths send to childcare..hahaha
 
u diff leh.. dsiitan, u hav experience.. this is ur 2nd bb right? as this is my first, i know i sure gong gong one.. and panic when bb cry.. i feel like i'm a chld myself lor.. then now got to take care of a little one.. dunno can handle or not
 
misaryeo
aiyo...i tell u ah...mother's instinct..last time my #1 i oso think will blur blur..but hor..once out...ur instinct all coem to u..u know what to do...beliff me....maybe u more expert then me..
 
hhahaa dsiitan, i really hope so leh.. now suddenly i feeling as the due date draws near.. i'm gradually losing my freedom.. very hard to hav couple time wif my hubby already.. like bb is a intruder to me life like that.. hopefully when bb arrives.. i'll feel different cos alot of mummies say they nv regret having a bb..
 
misaryeo
haha..ya loh...like now my son sleeps with me on bed..my hb on the floor..hehehe...then whenever wanna go shopping...hvae to bring kid alone...but ok loh...last time hb#1..now kid #1 liao..hahaha
 
misaryeo
not really loh..cos no one to take care of my boy (#1)...normally if he sees us going out..he will want to follow. if we dun bring him..we kind of guilty too..like he so poor thing...so now...think with #2...lagi no private time liao..hahhaa
 
Hi Poppy,
Care to share ur pregnancy photos?

Baby Engage:
I heard when baby is engaged in the pelvis, we will have lesser heartburn & breathlessness. Our appetite may also increase slightly cos our organs are less crowded now...no wonder my appetite seems to hve improved now...
 
dsiitan,
Hee... back from lunchbreak. How come all went off liao? Its Sat so i guess all mummies are either busy entertaining hb or going out.

Ya, after birth, maybe 1 mth after confinement, i will have to travel in & out. Bo bian, else all alone here in SG with baby, no hb, very sianz. That's y have to buy a good car seat for baby to make sure he'll be comfy throughout the whole 3-4hrs journey. I am a bit worried cos baby still very small only when i bring him to KL. But what to do?
 
halo mummies
im back from spending money..hahaha..went centrepoint robinson to get the avent pump...wah...so many ppl leh...aiyo..like all dun need $$$..just realised so many ppl at the bb's corner..buying..pump...shampoo..bottles...cots..
strollers...

lollypop
so fast ah? after 1mth wanna bring bb in to m'sia?? aiyo..hope ur bb can tahan the long journey..but initially they always sleep one lah..so shld be no problem..but are u going in alone with the bb? what if half way on the road bb wants milk or poo or pee??? how???

btw, wah..ur lunch break so long ah??? then after a while going to be dinner break liao...hahaha..so now u must be having ur dinner break....wow...think maybe i'll see u again ard 10 plus...hahaha....
 
dsiitan,
yes, u r right, now its 10 plus and I am back from dinner break. Had a heavy lunch, so just finished dinner. Earlier had to rush out quickily cos baby was kicking me like mad. I think he must be really hungry. Hee... You know, now I must eat more of the normal food before baby pops. Else during confinement, so many things cannot eat, sure damn deprive.

btw, which pump did u get? Manual or electric one? I got the manual one cos my gf told me its good enough. I have bought most of the things from Robinsons & John Little liao, so no more shopping for me.

Like u said, bb is still small & sleeps a lot, so i think should be ok to bring him to MY. Anyway, its my hb who will be driving, so its ok. If bb wants milk, poo or pee, then have to stop at those big rest stops lor. We usually dun take breaks at those ulu small rest places cos not so safe. I think we will drive in/out during daytime, it will not be conducive to drive in the night. Bo bian lor, hb has to work there mah. I dun want to be alone w bb in SG. Should be ok once used to it. Those angmohs also travel long distance by car since their countries are so big. All seems alright.
 
Hello all, I am so tired today. Went with my bro in law to collect his new car in the afternoon and then meet the interior designer for the whole evening. Until 8 plus then have dinner. Got no time to shop for BB stuff.

I forget to bring my iron pills out, so its been like 6 hrs i haven take the pills. I feel so tired, restless and breatheless today.. plus hungry!

Anyway, when does the GSS end? I need to get many many more things. Got to grab the offer!
 
paranoidmummy,
when r u due? I m due on the 10 July. My frd used the medala electric one, she told me its quite good. Let me know if its really that good compared to the Avent manual one.

oh ya, i saw u on the other thread discussing abt cooking recipes n the new steam microwave oven which u have bought. Let me know if its good n worthwhile, cos i also want to learn to cook more dishes for hubby. Hee...
happy.gif
 
lollypop
i went robinson just now..got the avent manual pump..quite worth it i think..its in a package..1 of the box consists of 1 pump and 2 storage cups + 2 teats+2 clipsand another box got 10 storage cups + lids and a water mug for 3 mths above and a pack of wet tissues from avent..all $84...

think manual is gd enuff for me cos will try to TBF as im not working so pump only for engorgement or some storage so that at times can bottle feed..hehehe...

paranoid
wah...u ah...so bz hor?? hahaha...ur hubby went with u whole day ah?? u hor can get ur hb go to robinson with u..cos these 2 days got member sale..20%...this is wat stated from their letter sent to us lah..but dunno after these 2 days still hv or not...but hor alot of ppl buying bb stuff...
 
dsiitan,
oh u used the letter for the discounts. Eh, how come i din receive? Maybe they sent by batches. Ya, i also bought the same set as u but not the storage cup set cos the electric steriliser set also have free bottles, etc. I merely bought additional 260ml bottles(3pcs) in a box. Do u think its enough? 3 small bottles n 3 big bottles? I 1st time mum, not too sure. Need your advise.
 
lollypop
no lah..the letter just to inform got 20% for members..not that kind of coupons one..so just go down with the card loh..haha...

har?? u asked me abt breastmilk?? hehe...frankly speaking i oso dunno leh...cos last tiem for #1 i didnt breatfeed for long..think abt 3 weeks..cos that time my mum dun allow me to use breastmilk..she dun allow me to store them in fridge too..she said how can milk keep in freezer..wah piang..that time damn stress...over here i wanna BF...that side she kept nagging till i finally gave up..so never store BM b4..this is my 1st time too..hahaha..maybe starting shld be enuff...unless u like a cow loh...lots of supply..but u can latch ur bb mah...if not enuff then ask ur hubby to go and buy more storage cups loh...ok one lah...dun worry...me oso havent buy bottles for feeding too..cos the avent one can feed thru the storage cups..so temporary use that loh..cos i tot of TBF..unless really bo bian then ask hb or frens to get bottles for me..hehe

hi lollypop, dsiitan,
I intend to do both direct bf and pump out to store.Last time, I had many many bottles and sterilise them say, once in morning and once at night. Reason is don't want to keep on washing and sterilising. So at one go, sterilise 8 bottles, keep in steriliser, when I need, take it out. Keep small bottle reserve for water, the rest for your EBM.
I have v little space in the freezer to store EBM butI've bought a big tupperware with cover.And lots of milk bags to store the EBM. GLass bottles are not v good for me basically, it takes v long to warm up the milk and the good nutrients fr EBM stick to glass more readily than plastic. Anyway, I 've used both Avent and Gerber and both ok. But since I've lack of space, I've bought the costly gerber that has zip-lock. So I can store my frozen EBM flat in the tupperware. For avent, you have to either tie with string,or those plastic clips,and stand them all the time till they freeze. For details of how long EBM can be stored frozen, in the fridge etc, you can go to these websites.

Hope this helps....!!!!
 
dsiitan,
I cannot don't colour leh, I have lots of grey hair...look horrible and untidy!

Misaryeo,
No one seems to live near me
sad.gif
all of you like very far away. Anyone stays near town area??

Misaryeo and Lollypop,
Slimming cream coupled with massage can see some effects :p of course, must exercise and diet also lah!

YB,
I meeting my friend on Monday to choose and take some more photos...will share once ready. I never chase her because she do it free for me lah. I hope she can pass to me before I pop. Also a bit paiseh, some a bit RA..hahaha...give you a sneak preview, check your mail later :p....aiyah, yahoo mail is down, I'll try later.

Lollypop & Misaryeo,
My hubby also ban me from buying BB stuff. He says too many things liao! no space to store! One chest of 4 drawers also not enough, need to get another small cabinet!!
 
kin,
Thanks for the info. I am not working, so i think no need to freeze BM. Also, not sure if got enough BM after delivery, so see how things go.

Poppy,
I read from several magazines that the shishedo's Body Creator range is very good. Maybe can try out after confinement. Smells good too cos they use natural essential oils. I prefer to use Japanese brand cosmetics n bodycare cos they are meant for Asians. But i think should be quite pricy. Bo bian want to be pretty pretty, so have to pay the price!

For bb stuffs, my hubby is clearing out his study room and almost half his wardrobe to let me store bb things. Hee.. Now have to squeeze his study table, etc, into the guestroom. Luckily that time we added some more wardrobe space in the master bedroom. So just nice.
 
Hi,All Mummies

Has been MIA for quite some time since I delivered. Tryin to adjust life with 3 kids in the house, worse of all, my no.1 and no.2 fell sick 2 days after Keon came back home. Hence, got a hard time settling the kids, with all the wailing, screaming (taking medication) and the vomiting.

Keon is on both FM and BM, coz BM can't meet his demand, he is drinking like 90ml/3hr, where I am oni pumpin 40ml/pump. If I were to give him total BM, he will drink ard 150ml....My BM still yet to meet his demand.

For those who are delivering in MT A, they do provide toiletries, those small small bottles, I brought my own toiltries, sanitary pads too, coz they charge for the pads like $10++ per pack if I dun remember wrongly.
 
lollypop,
good for you.no need freeze, so no need pump lor. Just direct feed. Best man. The BM will come. Last time I fed my bb every half hour thro out the day. So crazy. Sometimes, the bb will have growth spurt so need to drink more. After a mth or 2 or so, your breast will adjust to how much bb want.Worse for me,was for 2 yrs while my bb on the breast, I wake up 3-4 times a night to bf her. Was like a zombie but luckily at home.In the past, expressing my BM was like 45ml or less after pumping for half hr, so pitiful amt. But when bb sucks, she just grow and grow so I conclude, lousy pump...haha...

Li May,
must be stressful for you with the 3 kids. Can imagine, hard to relax.... and schools starting tmr!!
 
Hi Poppy,
No problem...haha...got R(A) photo huh...u must b one sexy mummy...

Ur pix so cute! Who drew the heart on ur tummy?? Hmm...ur tummy indeed much bigger than mine, even in the 9th mth, my stomach also very small. But cannot really see ur face leh...

Button-down PJs:
I saw Suntec Carrefour selling preggie button-down PJ dress with collar at $12 each. Comes in plain black & pale yellow. Looks comfy. But since I'll not be BFing, so I never buy. Other mummies can go check them out.

Hi Li May,
Oh dear...ur kids are all sick? Hope they are better now. Btw, did Mt A charge u for the sanitary pads even though u dun use them?
 
lollypop, I am due on the 16 July. Oh yah abt the steam microwave.. hehehe u shall herat he review of it only in sept, coz i chucked it in the store room liao, intend to use it only when the new house is ready.... ;P

dsiitan, u are quite right lah.. sort of kinda banned coz he want me to sleep early.. also he say i bery bo liao.. got nothing to do than to chat and chat. I am not robinson member leh...

z-lia, the only black n white mobile i saw are the clowns ones, i thought that looks abit scary. I am thinking whether to get those tiny love ones. Symphony light n mobile... ard $100+ i think.

Poppy, i also wanna view the pics pleeeeease.. I am "forcing" my hubby to take for me, so i need so "posture ideas" hehehe.

Li May, no wonder we haven seen u around! hope yr kids are well...
