Hi Jesline and HoneyB,
Confirmed it's fire pig and this is small fire pig... our babies are big fire dogs
Golden pig will only come in another 20+yrs I think so can forget about it.... for the pig to be golden pig, the year must be a "gold element" aka "jin1" year.
Mickey Mouse would be earth mickey mouse liao

me was itching 2 b preggie after giving birth 2 gabe. after giving birth 2 edward, i STILL itching 2 b preggie cos i miss my bb inside me SO MUCH.
there r definitely difficulties when #2 comes along but it's how u manage it. i'm still managing fine without a maid n still undecided abt getting one.
no matter wat, when #2 comes along, YOU yourself will tend 2 pass #2 to e other caregiver (be it ur parents, ILs, maid, nanny, caregiver, etc). y? bcos all ur #2 does (in e initial mths) is eat, sleep, shit. it's ur #1 who needs A LOT of attention cos he needs 2 get used another bb in e family n tis bb is going 2 take up time & effort fr his dear papa & mama. u tell me which human being (even as an adult) will like it when someone else comes out of nowhere & fights 4 attention wif u, much less a toddler who is still trying 2 learn & comprehend things in tis world.
which is y my gabe needed lotsa attention & effort. he was constantly doing things 2 get our attention. i must admit wif 2kids, it's VERY tiring but e JOY outweighs e fatigue & effort.
for me & my husband, we chose 2 hv a bb b4 my gabe turns 2 is bcos we dun 1 a big age gap between my kids. i really cant imagine gabe being 4-5yrs old n i hv 2 handle an infant. IMO lah, a <2yrs gap is most perfect cos i can really c how gabe engage in playing wif edward n gabe can understand abt being a bb b4. i not saying tat a 4-5yrs old wont b nice 2 e new sibling or wont participate but while changing diapers, waking up 4 milk feeds in e middle of e nite is still fresh in our minds, y not hv #2?
like wat my parents & lotsa other relatives (esp my aunties) all said, "u juz need 'xin ku' these 1-2yrs, after tat si-nang liao" my husband & i totally agree. e next 18mths is tough but come 2009, when edward goes 2 school wif gabe, *whee whee* i can at least shake legs 4 3hrs in e morn liao...unless i become preggie wif #3 lah.
like all of u, i also wonder if i can love another bb juz e same. trust me, as mothers, u can. in fact i love my boys so much until i dunno who i love more (which isnt impt) n i never stop telling them how much i love them everyday.
mummies, i only sharing my experiences. not all mummies r the same. juz parent within ur means - physical, financial, emotional, etc.

juz 2 share something wif u all...
1) whenever edward poos in e diaper, gabe'll come & say "da pi gu (beat buttock)" (cos i beat his buttock if he dun do his big/small biz in e toilet - me was toilet training him). very funny! so i taught gabe tis, "darling, when didi is learning 2 use e toilet, u must show & guide him ok?"
2) whenever gabe wants 2 b carried bcos he saw tat edward is carried all e time (jealousy but we expected it), i always tell him, "darling, wat did mummy tell u? we are carrying edward bcos he cant walk like u. once he can walk, will u hold his hand & walk by his side?" tis always bring a smile 2 gabe's face n he readily agreed. after tat, gabe'll kwai kwai walk by my side n once in a while, he wanna hold his brother's hand while i carry edward. very sweet of him!

hi mummies,
did your baby grow thru a stage of waking in the nite, cuz they rollover, cant sleep properly, but not becuz hungry? Ryan has been kinda waking,whining, flipping over n starting to cry..
I am wondering if this is just a phase.
kelly,
i changed 1 maid cuz she say father died,then my replacement from the agency,work 4days, then say her daughter in hospital... so i alsohad to let her go...maybe just unlucky, cuz their story could be true...
btw, i oso let my boy suck hand, fingers & thumbs...really cant be keeping them clean all the time hehehehe

hi butter8,
my baby did the same! she would keep flipping over and crying for help several times in the middle of the night and need to carry to get back to sleep. it took her abt 1 to 2 weeks to stop doing tat.
i read tat it's because they are trying to get used to their new mobility. it's jus lik if u did a lot of exercise and after tat, u wil feel some tingling in yur muscles. same for the babies, so they r feeling uncomfortable n need to move about. sounds logical?
it's just a phase but the bad news is tat they may keep doing it everytime they learn a new skill! *faint*

hi all mummies,
thanks for all the well-wishes. but pls dun mention anything when my HB is nearby on sunday, scared may trigger him to announce to his parents during CNY. cos i only intend to tell my in-laws in march, when the pregnancy is more stabilised.
cecelia & jesline,
my girl also very "tam chiak". when she sees us eating, she'll start to move her mouth.
perhaps it's bcos since she was 1mth old, we had experimented with her, letting her lick orange juice, chocolate, cookie, roast pork/chicken, chicken essence, bread, etc.
amy & honeyhaven,
mine shld be teething soon, cos lots of saliva and like to bite things but i haven't seen any tooth yet.
jesline,
my girl can sit by her own since 5mths, now she can stand but need to support onto something.
kelly,
i admire you on handling the 2 boys on ur own. i hope to be the sole caregiver too, but i've to let my mum handle my girl when we open the shop soon.

He will also stare at us when we are eating. Sometimes make me feel bad that i dun let him eat. So far he just tried apple.
Hi mummies

Piyo,
Aiyo, big fire dog year, no wonder my girl has quite a bit of temper, my mum always say my girl very "chiak". My girl has alot of hair since birth, has since cut her hair TWICE already and its still blooming.. ha, worse still, of all people, she seems to have inherited my FIL's curly hair, but only the front, back of her hair is straight. My hubby always say her hair looks like "kali pok" (curry puff)...haa, hope her hair will straighten down like mummy's.

Kelly,
I agree with you, just 'xiong xiong' for a couple of yrs and by the time you know, they are all in school already, was also thinking since my mum can help me out now, better be quick before she change her mind haa...
Wow, all your babies know how to sit already, mine is still trying to learn, she tends to lean forward when I put her in the sitting position, maybe she's more interested to grab her toes.

Hi augbaby,
Most (Almost all) of the vegetables and fruits can be freeze. So far, I have done apple, pear, mango, carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, brocoli+carrot. Introducing different types of vege and fruits by stages according to what is suitable based on when she's 5month, 6month and so on.
Bought my quarter pumpkin from nearby market, actually not sure if supermarket sells them in quarters.
Haven't start on porriage yet because I intend to let baby get used to the different taste of vegetables first before cooking them altogether as porriage.
By the way, do remember to always give fruits first then wait a while (15 - 30minutes) before giving porriage or cereals. Fruits' nutrients are better absorbed in an empty stomach rather than after meal.

Can I ask you how do you intro veg to babies? you squashed them? like I see you intro brocolli and carrots, how do you prepare them? and do you mix them in the cereal/porridge? or served independently? I am only in the midst of intro rice cereal. Roughly after how many days of introducing rice cereal can I intro fruits and veg ah? and you mention intro fruits then later intro rice/cereal... after eating fruits etc they still got stomach to eat rice/cereal ah?

Hi Cecelia,
Thank you for your well-wishes.
The boys are better now.
#1 had fever last Thurs but thankfully didn't need to visit the doctor as we self-medicated.
Hi Pups,
Regarding our babies' sleeping habit, it's as you have put it, depends on their personalities and ours.
I am one parent who can't stand them crying out for long.
I don't have that tune the wails out feature in me.
Some parents are good at that and it's an advantage when comes driving in the car with a crying baby.
DH speeds when Jul's wailing his heart out when strapped in the car seat. Urgh.
So I do nurse my boys to sleep.
Jav now turning 2 and half still need me by his side before he falls asleep by himself.
(I will return to my bedroom after he zzz).
Always remind myself that they won't want to cling onto me for long.

Hi Cocomo,
I owe you a reply hehe! Yes what Kelly says is correct. You would still need to read the books even though you got for Lawrence's workshops. those are powerpt slides and some notes. Details still need to read the book to get better idea
IMO, you may wanna invest in new cards if you urgently wanna flash to Jaydon now. Cos prep the cards on your own and DIY can be quite siong and time consuming as you need to have at least 1 hundred cards ready b4 you start flashing else halfway stop flashing not good for the prog...and b4 you know it the 100 cards finished liao and you may be tempted to flash old cards to him when you run out of cards. Not good also. If you get the set, you are ready to go and you get support from lawrence as and when you have trouble with flashing or if jayden has issues of concentrating? you are not stopping at 1, so you can amortise the cost of the original cards among the 2 or 3 kids you having so quite ok lah! but if you can wait then take time to wait for mums to sell 2nd hand ones ... I was planning to get new sets but at that time, a few mums were selling off theirs so I changed my mind after consulting other GD mums in this forum and the sgparenting forum... else I would get new sets too
How's your decision so far?
I flash the cards based on what I read from the books and improvise after attending BJG seeing hte way they flash so without the workshops I am doing fine still...and you will need to modify the flashing sessions based on your work schedule, baby's moods, attention span etc so IMO dun need to get new cards just cos you wanna attend the workshop sessions.
We flash to Megan every morning 2 times b4 we go to work with at least 15mins interval between the sessions and evening 1 time after we come back from work. Usually, my hubby would flash in the morning while I would do that in the evening. Megan's concentration is much much better in the mornings than in the evenings. We can flash maths, english and chinese cards all at 1 go in the morning but for evening, I have to play with her a bit, make her happy happy then flash say english then stop play play with her again then flash maths and this goes on till I finish flashing all as GD's principle is only do it when baby is in good mood and stop b4 the child wanna stop. Megan stares at the cards and sometimes quite happy and will kick her legs, move her hands and chuckle. Over time, we are enjoying the sessions too
it's like a game both we as parents and megan enjoys...
I suggested that you try DIY some cards flash to him and see his rxn then you will be more confident in getting the flash cards?

Congratulations Cheers!
You must take care of yourself okay.
I had to take those pills during the initial weeks of my last pregnancy too as I had blood clot in my womb which was irritating the embryo.
May God bless you with a healthy and smooth pregnancy!
Hi Augbaby,
If pregnancy is stable, can BF lah ...
I BF into all my pregnancies till milk diminshed.
Kelly Lao Ban Niang,
Gong Xi. Gong Xi.
Heh heh ... You have planned 2009 huh.
So happy to hear that.
Yeah, it's joy to watching them grow.
I find now I play the peacemaker & disciplinarian role more often as the older boys squabble when they are at play.

Jesline,
My girl is 5.5 mths, realized when I tried to let her stand, she like got no strength, but she can kick very well leh, all those toys that she used to play with her hands, she now uses her legs to kick them instead...and she likes to elbow me when I carry her, any of your babies do that to you too?
Piyo,
Yes, Hannah is very fair, she's almost white with pinkish tone, guess its becos both me and my hubby also very fair. I tried to put clip on her hair but it will drop out after a while, sometimes I use a headband to hold her hair down but she seems to hate it cos she wants to pull it away...ha
Amy,
Your baby also got a lot of hair, how old is she now?
Augbaby,

The only flashes Jul's having are his brothers running across or jumping over him.
Lucky Baby Sling
May I find out from mummies your feedback using this sling?
How's the material like and is it convenient to use as it has shared on its website?
Her name is Rae.
For all the fruits and vegetables, I steam them first then blend them into puree and freeze it in cubes. On the morning, i take the cubes out from the freezer and my MIL will thaw it 1 or 2 hours before her meals. So, for brocolli+carrot, I blend them together because green vegetables tend to be bitter in taste for baby, so to prevent baby from resisting the vegetable, it is advisable to mix it with either carrot, sweet potato and pumpkin. So, before you need to introduce carrot, sweet potato or pumpkin first then you can move on to mix them with other vegetables.
I serve the fruits and vegetables independently because I want the baby to get use to different taste of these food so that she wont become a fussy eater. You can start with fruit puree first after a week of introducing cereals. I started with a cube (30ml) of apple puree during lunch hour. My baby a bit greedy, so far she can finish all the food. So, you need to observe your baby and maybe for a start dont prepare too much in case the food is wasted. Once you start with 1 type of fruit or vegetable, stick with it for 3 days to ensure that the baby does not have allergic effects. Then, you imtroduce the next type.
I basically follow Gina Fords book with a bit of changes according to my babys schedule.
I also love the flash card as a game with my baby. And, luckily for me, my MIL is quite open to the idea so I can count on her to flash the Mandarin cards later. Intend to finish the equation maths program first and then will do the English and Mandarin cards.
