<font color="aa00aa">| little pony |</font> But was yours posterior as well? Or other reasons? Sorry that I so kpo..I also feel that the local gynaes are very much into active management, without consulting the mother first..

Thanks for the contact! I'm still thinking abt it coz i'm not very conservative and i bring sophie out a lot so i think might clash w pd in terms of viewpts. Sigh... Oh btw, i have a Evenflo Ultra Exersaucer too! I can't wait to use it. It's been there since 2 mths ago! I think i'm more excited about toys than Sophie. haha. I'll prob use it when sophie is 4-5 mths too. Her neck still not very stable coz she's got big head. Heh.

joon
Haha yah she does! We're 14 yrs apart. Big age gap. Heh.

brenda
yah yah you must go get the copy. It's quite good.

OH BTW, Sophie is 4 mths old today!!!! 25 Sept. Wow time passes so fast!

 

[sophies_mum]

Here's 4 mth old Sophie! Check out Elmo saying hi at the back! heh heh...

 

[brenwjwang]

<font color="aa00aa">| Phoebe |</font> Hey, thanks leh.. so late already and you're still working on it.. so pai sei.. hope your hubby won't kill me the next time he sees me.. hee

and guess what I'm doing?! Rushing out my VS orders! hee

<font color="aa00aa">| Ling |</font> Congrats on Sophie's 4months! And how come Sophie and Elmo eyes look so alike?!? hee

 

[phoebechan]

brenda
nite time is the only time can really tabulate orders and emails (when baby is asleep)
but hor, he will wake up around 3am to feed. so dont get to sleep alot too.
go to work then sleep lor. haha.

 

[sophies_mum]

Brenda
WAH HAHA.......... oh my my bro said the same thing! So funny hor, maybe that's why Sophie loves Elmo. She thinks it's the mirror. Haha... Looks like we late birds are still online. Me going to sleep soon...

 

[joon]

<font color="119911">Happy</font> <font color="0000ff">Birthday</font> <font color="aa00aa">Sophie</font> <font color="ff0000">!!</font>

ling,
big age gap between my bro and i too! 17 yrs... golly. i was in JC1 when my mom gave birth again. i remember visiting her at KK and eating all her catered dinner! (my sis and i shared it) i'm such a horrible daughter. -_-

phoebe,
rahahaha... sleep at work! how true... gee, thanx for organising all these BPs. really appreciate it man. but u must enjoy doing it too right!!!

emma,
wah, enzo has really lost weight huh! now he's got a very chiselled face ala brad pitt!! phew-weeet! are our little girls here going ga-ga? now all of the mummies will want to chope enzo for their bb girls! hiak!

brenda,
thanx for including the hbs in the list

 

[phoebechan]

joon
'almost' fell asleep when i pump milk in office. i always felt sleepy when pumping

 

[sophies_mum]

joon
THanks. heh. YOu another late bird
REALLY? wow that's cool. Ok, your mum's cool. Seriously i can't imagine giving birth at 40 like my mum. Oh i was in Sec 2. Heh i also ate my mum's food, esp her yummy confinement food. Ah hahah... When i told my friends my mum's expecting, they were like no lah don't bluff. ?!?!

Oh btw, i thot sophie's sleeping thru right? But past 2 nights, she woke up crying at 3,4,5 and i finally fed her at 6. !?!?! STress man. A bit zonked out.

[peachie]

Hi Yuna,

I see!!! So you are Clarise's mommy!!! Hehehehe... Such a small small world. keke...

How's Clarise??? Haven't seen you guys for the past couple of weeks! Cos you are WELCOME to chat!

She teethed yet?

 

[peachie]

Hi Ling,

So we have the same exersaucer!!! Great! Will let you know how it is once I've used it! Intend to drag it out of the store room this weekend.

 

[daisybuttons]

gooda moooooning!

yuna, u are welcome to join in the chat!

you are welcome to our playdate at my plc too.

then peachie can finally know who you are instead of guessing heheehe!

brenda, HA! i guess right! its your comment on the delivery using forceps/vacuum, u said its such a rude shock to the baby, being yanked out into the world like that. that's very like someone who has read a lot on natural birthing aka hypnobirthing hahahahaa..... just tot u may like to know, Joon and I did hypnobirthing too, did u go for the course? Joon managed to have a drug free and super fast labour! I didn't manage to have drug free but I manage to have a relaxed, quiet and i-didn't-break-my-hubby's-hand peaceful 24 hours labour b4 eventually giving in to drug in the last 5hours! hahahahha! what abt u?

oh btw even if i hadn't guessed about hypno from ur earlier posts, i wld have been 100% sure when you said "active management" heee!

pig2, hehehe u also have a bumbo! so many bumbo babies, wait for Jovann!!

puppylove, thats a cute pic! u know, i had visions of decking Jovann out in his christmas best and sitting him under the tree for a nice pic with the presents. BUT we were so tired we decided not to put up the christmas tree this year, and even if i did i din have the bumbo then so how to sit him up? hehehehe!

[daisybuttons]

[daisybuttons]

[blessedmommy]

u mean bring all my kids?? noway!! they will tear daisybutton's house down!!

 

[sha_987]

blessedmommy,
This is what I am worry and scare of.

 

[blessedmommy]

sha
try to stop it when she still young? does she wan pacifier? it was my fault i didnt stop my boy early cos i found it so cute when he was sucking his thumb. and he can suck to sleep he dun need me to pat him to sleep. heh

 

[sha_987]

blessedmommy,
under my care she will suck the pacifier but when she is with my MIL she will suck her thumb and of coz she spend more time there since I need to work.

This is giving me so much stress and I even told my hubby if she still suck her thumb till one year old I will give birth to another baby even if I do my own mummy will look after the most I move back.

 

[daisybuttons]

oh yah forgot to ask this. does anyone here uses pigeon wide neck bottle to transport EBM??? how to keep it secure? if with the round dome shaped cap without teats inside, its not secure leh. got proper cap i can buy?

[sha_987]

Brenda,
I think Ilovebabies hubby is not joining the playdate. We are coming together.

ilovebabies,
starting 01 Feb I might be at my mum's place coz JW is going for field training not coming home. Let you know when we get closer to the date.

 

[littlepony]

Gathering
Really wanna to go but i have to work that weekend. And moreover, I am 'grounding' Wayne for another month or two.. just to ensure that he is well and healthy after that horrible incident. I hope you all enjoy the gathering and i will join u gals the next time round!!!!

 

[littlepony]

Brenda,
Wayne was in the posterior position as well when i was delivering him. My gynae asked the nurses don't stress me by asking me to keep pushing. Wat my gynae did was to let me rest for an hour... he said Wayne will naturally finetune himself to the right position.

After an hour, yes.. indeed.. Wayne was in the right position but then, i was too tired to push and therefore, my gynae used vacummed. But i muz say my gynae really good lor. heee!

 

[joon]

phoebe,
wow! us sept mommies not bad huh! less than 1 week to fill up the bp list!

littlepony,
i'm sure there'll be more chances for us to meet! and before u know it wayne'll be 6 mths old!!

daisybuttons,
i'm using the fat pigeon bottles too. when i transport the ebm, i put the teat on then the cap. how come u don't do that? are we not supposed to do that? i wanted to buy a sealing disc at first, then the pigeon lady told me that pigeon doesn't have that. when the teat is screwed on and the cap is put on, the teat will reach the top of the cap so nothing will spill out. so far so gd for us, easy for my mil too coz she just warms up the milk direct.

 

[littlepony]

Another bumbo fellow...

 

[puppylove]

oh no, haha, Trinity called the wrong 'Auntie'... itz Auntie Phoebe she's buying her Bumbo Play Tray from!! sorry, sorry!!

<font color="0000ff">dumpty, brenda,</font>
heheh, Trinity's wearing a headscarf. Some pp comment that she looks like 2 diff babies when she's with and without hat, cos she not much hair lah...
Brenda, sorry ah, give u extra work to inc. Trinity's pic into the Mambo Jumbo Bumbo Babies Club!! *phew!* wat a mouthful!! Can't wait to c the new montage!

<font color="0000ff">daisybuttons,</font>
i had visions of decking Trinity in a Santa suit!! but too bad the suit I ordered was OOS...

hmm... anyone dressing bb up in traditional chinese costume for CNY??

Gathering
The gathering sounds more and more fun! hope I can make it! hmm... then hv to think of wat to bring too!! *ponder ponder* btw, any of u who're going r expert w the MIM sling ah? Can teach me?? I'm hopeless w it but dun want the sling to become white elephant... hai...

Super busy at work, esp this week. Am practically running around like a zombie due to lack of sleep too. Trinity had fever for past 2 nights after her 6-in-1 jab. So sayang... But today ok already!

Even smiling happily when we woke her up to carry her over to bbsitter in the rain!!
