Hi Mummies, sorry ah...

Just wanna try my luck if anyone have any lobang to buy Avent Steriliser? Do u have friends whom intend to let go theirs cheap?

CAuse my girl girl quite weak so doc suggest to continue sterilising her bottles so means I got to get another steriliser for my baby...

Extra cost... Have posted in Marketplace to see if anyone selling theirs away but also wanna check with u ladies if u got lobang...

 

[sandylove]

dsiitan,
i work for owner of Royal Plaza Hotel, so having it there. My director help me arrange liao. The food not bad, i actually compare the menu with different hotel and also look at the price. Royal Plaza Hotel is still the best.

 

[dsii]

stephanie
i dun have but dunno others mummies

 

[dsii]

sandy
ic..gd loh..then no worries liao..hehehe

 

[misaryeo]

steph sorry.. i also dun hav.. but why cannot share shares use leh?

 

[dsii]

stephanie
me not using sterilizer...me hor..using the ancient ways..hehehe boil hot water then sterilise the bottles and teat..hehee

 

[tealeaf]

Hong,
Which floor is Dr Ang's clinic in TMC ??? Yep, he also did the same check for me, very painful.

 

[stephie1735]

Misaryeo, normally after sterilisation, its best to keep in the sterliser till we want to use right? if not bacteria in air will go to the bottles, right?

I'm not really good with sterilisers cause I only had it when I had my 2nd girl. First boy used boiling method, but problem is maid will be looking after girl girl and baby so may not be able to boil bottles the traditional way. Sigh...

Some more their age so close to each other.. Girl Girl still not walking

 

[dsii]

steph
dun meindme asking...how come ur the age gap so near??? u and hb wanna 3 kids or accident one?

 

[misaryeo]

steph.. i think so..so maybe.. u can share in such a way like..each 3 bottles lor... actually i also dunno leh.. cos i first time mom.. no experience.. i just feel abit waste money if u get another 1..

 

[stephie1735]

Actually is planned one.. but never expect so fast cause for our 2nd girl, we tried for about 1 yr plus before I concieved.. then this time round is Bingo loh...

Another problem was also that in Apr 06, I got a 30% pay cut due to the project I handling was discontinued.

And Hub's hospitalisation resulting unpaid leave, everyday dressing cost and etc drained us dry liao..

 

[dsii]

ur hb's family or ur own can help??

 

[misaryeo]

steph, that's why i feel to buy another steriliser abit waste money considering ur financial difficulties.. just try to share share.. sure can one..

 

[stephie1735]

misaryeo, I'm hoping to do that but I worried the maid will not do it and just give NB any bottles that is there and not differentiate girl girl's one and di di's one...

Initial plan was to sterilise girl girl's one twice a day cause she bigger already mah.. no need to keep sterilising. But nowadays she quite weak loh.. keep falling sick.. her last bout of cough lasted for 3 months. (We're suspecting its the maid that passed it to her).

Now her diarrhea since last friday still not yet stop. Still got mild diarrhea every day... so Doc says that maybe cause her immunity low... Haiz

 

[misaryeo]

steph.. i guess u just hav to keep a watch out for ur maid.. even if u buy anotherr steriliser.. she might be lazy to use also..

 

[stephie1735]

dsiitan - help as in Financially?

Hub dun have much relatives. Parents passed away when he was 20, only left a younger bro whom is 10 yrs younger than he is.

I already borrowed around $2100 from my younger bro and he has been helping me financially when I am in need of cash. Its always I borrow and return borrow and return but these few months after pay cut was really bad so cannot return him but keep borrowing.. sigh.

Misaryeo - actually I also very heartpain gotto spend another $50 on a 2nd hand one.. but looking at girl's health, a bit bo pian...

When I'm on ML, I can still boil the bottles myself or look after both kids and let maid boil the bottles, but after my ML leh.. Sigh

 

[dsii]

steph
i see...haiz..ya loh..me oso very cham...hb working alone..then me got #2 coming soon..so alot of stuff must cut cost...

 

[sandylove]

Oh stephanie,
so sad to hear that. But i am sure u can pull through this diffcult time.

 

[stephie1735]

Steriliser my mum can see got steam coming out mah.. My story super long one lah.. hahah Tell few days maybe also not enough.

Anyway cut story short, mum got mental problems, went IMH couple of times. Every time come out will behave fine but complain about health problem. That's why no matter what, I had to engage a maid to look after 2nd child the last time. So nowadays dad will send mum over in the morning to jagar the maid due to a previous bad experience with maid, but she will always just lie around and not do anything...

So when maid use steriliser, mum can see from where she is lying down cause she lie down whole day one.

 

[dsii]

steph
then ur mum can help look after the maid and ur ger ah???

 

[sandylove]

hmm, Dsiitan & Step..
My HB is a very caculative person.. so he don't expect me to rely on him financially. I also don't expect him to support me. So i always draw line clear.. any expenses must be 50-50.
Maybe u all can find some home base job then can help lesser bruden a bit.

 

[stephie1735]

dsiitan, we discussed very thoroughly the last time one whether I should work or stay at home when we had our 2nd child. But as that time I earn quite a lot, conclusion was that I should continue working.

Last time before my pay cut, even though I was not earning 3-4K, I was able to help other mummies in need when there were stories posted in Marketplace.. Now.. sigh.. my situation same as them man..

Sandy - Thanks... I rem there was a mummy whom helped me in giving me baby items for this NB told me that I should write down my story and submit to script writers to write into a movie... I was like @@... hahah

 

[dsii]

sandy
wanted to leh..but dunno how get those jobz..hehehe

 

[jenn77]

misaryeo
Oh sembawang...
Dun think so much... just enjoy the process when bb is coming out..

dsiitan
haiz.. my hb also scare loh.. everytime check until clear clear then collect the keys

 

[stephie1735]

dsiitan - Mum never really help much except to send my son to Childcare and bring him back at 6 plus cause I cannot make it in time by 7pm to pick him. Sigh.. sometimes I also bo pian... son v naughty knows whom to bully, always do dangerous stunts and mum never scold him one... then teachers always tell me about it on Sat when I send him to school myself. But no matter how many times I tell mum, she will say "ur son will listen to me meh...". But the problem is its dangerous loh.. take for eg: He will stand at the corridoor railings there and look at his school, say hi to his teachers, its dangerous loh.. if fall how? But mum always never say anything just stand beside him... Haiyo...

 

[dsii]

fruitee
sorry ah...wat collect keys???u mean the car???

 

[dsii]

steph
then u and hb can work with ease meh??? aiyo..if me sure worried till siao...but ur mum mentally can cope with the duties lah??? if yes..still not so bad...

 

[dsii]

aiyo..me legs pain pain...haiz...and hor..me so tired..wanna sleep soon

 

[jenn77]

think I better go get the breast shell... haiz.. if not my nipples... PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNN AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

my hb went to collect Kayden's chinese name from my uncle.. cant wait to know!!

dsiitan
yah.. cos TMC is valet parking mah.. so before they pass you the car keys.. check properly first!

 

[jenn77]

dsiitan
I also wanna nap soon.. just finished lunch & finished feeding Kayden... *Yawn* eyes cannot open cos this morning 4am + was expressing milk out...

 

[stephie1735]

She is not those completely crazy and beat ppl one lah.. its just that she will hallucinate and scold ppl last time.. Her biggest problem starts when she dun take medication.. Now at least she still takes it everyday and every month go for injection. If she dun take medications, a few months later, its another IMH stay again... haiz...

Me and hub worried but bo pian.. no one else to help liao... last time maid, we left her and daughter at home since baby, before 1 yr end, we caught her leaving my girl at home and go downstairs to meet bf or ignore my girl's cries and talk on the phone.

So have to ask mum to come over loh.. at least make her presence known to the maid so that she won't dare to do anything funny

 

[dsii]

fruitee
hahaa..no leh...my hb last sat park himself leh..hehehe...

 

[misaryeo]

steph.. sigh.. i think everyone also sure hav some problem here and there.. stay strong, i believe this will be over in no time..
