[delphine]

Hi Ladies,
Been MIA for a while... Down with cough and flu and poor desiree kana also. Haiz.. hopefully both of us are fully recovered before CNY.

Wow... another gathering, so have the date been fixed? Hopefully I can join you all this time round.

Nowadays, couldnt get a pic of desiree with her smiling. Once I put the camera in front of her, she will stop laughing and smiling.

show you ladies one of her photos where she frown while I put CNY clothes on her.

This is where she is on her tummy with our help, still couldnt do so on her own.

i had rem it was Joshua's bdae yesterday but 4got to post here. R kept me busy the whole day but luckily his latching improved though he still fussed. tdy at the gathering, most mummies saw how i danced and latched at the same time. so silly!

jo
u r right, got cheaper version of the bib i was wearing. proper name is called nursing bib lah.

i saw it at united square b4 but the material looked so auntie so i din buy it then.

 

[shjo79]

gals, i hope u all dun kill me..

Is it possible to posephone the gathering to 10 March or 11 March ?

I am afraid I can't finish visiting all the relatives

 

[coralmarine]

Cher, I like Chloe's sporst pants. very nice and she so smiley.

I'm opp fm you. I'm not 1 to try too thrilling rides. Told my hb next time Char can go with him.

Jo., watch your hands lah, dont scratch a 2nd time. I awlays sit on the flr, so no worries. What's most impt, a nursing room. ;P My Char very greedy, cant miss her feed.

Crystalllized,Jo., wehre to buy the thing to allow us to BF in public? I need it! Cos so bored to keep searching for clothes that allow me to BF in public. Nice pics of the bbs, make me so look forward to the gathering.

BBgrace, Emma's indeed a happy gal, she looks very grown up too. Thanks for sharing all the useful info abt carrot and papaya. I'm so ignorant when it comes to feeding bbs. Great we have so many knowledgable mummies here to enlighten us.

Wei Kuan, your R so guai, I think should be easy for you to trim her hair yourself. My mum used to cut our hair until we're in Sec school. Not sure if I can be as steady.

Starz, Ayden looks like you! Hehe, you not only reveal yur face, also reveal your sexy figure leh

Storm, my hb also not romantic, also gae me flowers once only. Like you I told him no flowers never mind, cash is good too.

Vaccination
========
Today Char went fr ther 2nd jab, as usual she's very tired after the jab, sleep very well. SHe'3+mths, 8more days b4 she turn 4mths, can only flip half way. 65cm, 7.8kg. Looks like she's now one of the bigger bb. Hmmm...wonder what is it. She never drink more than others, hb and I not the fat kind leh. I'm bah bah but dont think I'm fat leh, dunno why she so chubby, even when OD took off her diaper exclaimed she very chubby!

BB not sleeping/resltess
===================
Was telling PD that Char very restless and dont sleep much. He says if a bb cant rest well and lose weight then must check fro thyroid, but since Char's been gaining wweight and can sellp well once she fall asleep then no risk of thyroid.

Driving bb alone
===========
Until now I still no guts, even with hb in car I dare not drive if Char is in it cos her cries will definitely distract me. Next time when hb goes overseas I siao liao must spend $40 on cab daily to send Char to Mum's place and back. Hate my lousy skills and uncoolness.

 

[shjo79]

JRT

the one i saw look like bra..flesh colour

 

[shjo79]

Coral

stupid me scratch it again this mornng..

this is how jrt's nursing bib looks like, now got bulk purchase..Kelicia is inside..and i can still see her fr the top..wonderful invention

 

[coralmarine]

Jo., it looks very easy to sew leh. Prob will just take a cotton blanket and sew a necklace on the side. The wowla! I got my own nursing bib. Disappointed to know gathering postpone leh...

 

[shjo79]

R & K confirm cannot bec a couple, mutual abuse

 

[shjo79]

yah, i noe i very bad ... but my sis just informed me that she can only get air tickets for the 27 feb flight to fly back Sydney , meaning we have to finish all relatives by 24 feb..

A thousand apologies, gals..

Coral
yupz, going to ask mum to sew for me it actually cost 50 plus bucks !

the neck part must use soemthing hard, otherwise cannot see baby

[babygrace]

wendy,
I didn't realise that emma looks like me until so many of you commented it cos even my mum thinks she looked like my hubby when she was a newborn.

crytallized,
Glad to hear that R's latching is better. You dance and latch, i do contortionist movements with J. Sigh! The things we do for our kids.

coral,
Just sharing what i've read before. Just feel free to check with me if you have other questions. i may not know all the answers also. i'm also learning new things each day.

 

[storm]

jo
haha..for me, im not ashamed that its a shotgun marriage. and my friends are not surprised coz we have been staying together for a long time, and also bought a place already. we intended to get married when our place is ready but.. who knows! the only thing i regret is that i cldnt hv a svelte figure to fit in my wedding and evening gowns.
btw, u slim down alot liao hor. r u back to yr pre preg weight?

 

[shjo79]

Storm

no need to be ashmaed lah, cos ur already happily married with kid liao mah

just weigh myself, storm, this morning..ever since weikuan & this mummy who saw me at the Mum Congress 2007 said i m slim, i went for a lot of good dinners =p

now 53 kg again, which is the same wt on 1 Jan at Selina's hse..

BTW, if u take a look at the sep thread, the mummies are oh my goodness, so slim & young & pretty that they dun even look married..

So many weikuans there !

PS: I was so taken aback that even my hubby said i ate very little during the buffet, end up was hungry the moment i step out of the host's hse

Coral
yep the nursing bib was mine. my hb said it was an auntie bib the moment he saw it but i hv grown to love it v much! its so useful esp now tt R fusses so much during nursing. i used to use juz a nappy to cover but he has learnt to "tear" it down 4 me and thks 2 him, almost exposed myself a few times. so thot wise to get a nursing bib lah.

its damn exp for tt juz a pc of cloth lah! but no regrets!

i figured i can use it 4 my nxt pregnancy and i make sure i use it soooo many times the money spent on it is well worth!

bbgrace
so shameful at the gathering yesterday can?! all the mummies rem how i danced while latching R! initially i hid inside the room, but one of the mummies was doing the Bola demo so i creeped out of the rm and watced the demo quietly behind them. then this R had to fuss and thats when they all saw me!

and now they r all talking how they admire my dancing while bfg skills! GOODNESS!

Jo
did u capture the shots tt K was rolling over to R during the grp photo? hahaha

 

[jan09]

Selina,
oh no... was reading the posts and realised that I haven pay u the $ for the gathering at your house leh! Can u tell me how much so that I can transfer $ to u? So peiseh... Sorry...

Jo,
Can see from the photos that u slimmed down leh. SO envy wor.. I everyday think of wat to wear to office, cause most of the clothes still can't fit. Dun feel like buying too many clothes leh

That day my colleagues joked that they've seen me double in size since joining the company

.

so the gathering is postphoned? Errm.. no problem for me lah. I stay very near u nia. At queenstown. Will go with hb + Andrea

What's Espire?? Diapers?

 

[phoebechan]

<font color="ff0000">BUMBO SITTER</font>

Hello, any mummies interested to get a bumbo for your kid?

I have found a source that can give 20% discount on BP of 30 chairs &amp; more.

Delivery to 1 location, my place at Bukit Batok. However, I can arrange for delivery to your place $3.00

<font color="0000ff">Normal Price: $79.90 </font>
<font color="ff6000">Promotion Price: $63.92 (Less 20%) </font>

Anyone?

 

[wei_kuan]

Cher,
Same here, I am also underweight. My weight now is 44kg, H-158cm
Pre-pregnacy is 42kg.

Coral, My hb carry R on his lap while I trim her hair and she just gong gong look at me. C is the top in weight now. Once hb cannot sent us to work &amp; infantcare, I take cab and it cost me $40 per day. Heart pain like that so I told myself I can do it . not worth the cab fare.
I saw the nursing apron @ causeway metro before. If I am not wrong, it cost $19.90. it was black color.

9more days R is 5mths old, I am waiting she reach 5.5mth before I strat solid.

Jo, thks for collecting the ball, will return it at next gathering.
I am okay for any dates but prefer March. Actually was very happy when u change the dates cos I am also scared my hubby going to visit.
see, I told u already that u really silm down from the pict and during the congress, it is true not I being kind

jRt,
happy to know ur R still latching happily.

 

[wei_kuan]

Jenny, this is what I mean w frills:

for R "chu yi" CNY dress:

coral, did u also bought this type?

 

[wei_kuan]

her "chu 2" clths, all ang gong gong. The pants can wear even after CNY

 

[gemini]

hi wei kuan,

me thought of buying the chu yi dress for T also. but the sides are loose, cos tied with a string only, i'm afraid that T will feel cold. now still looking for those traditional CNY clothes, why u buy them? chinatwn?

 

[wei_kuan]

Jo,
K look so pretty on dress. Hardly see her wearing dress. should wear it often

 

[wei_kuan]

gemini,
I bought it at chinatown yesterday.
For the "chu yi" dress, I guess anywhere also got cos quite common. I wear let R wear something sleeveless inside. If weather very cold, she still got her jacket which I bring everywhere I go

 

[wei_kuan]

Vivian,
I cancel the playment BP cos my friend give me 2nd hand playmat liao, but not those good material like SSW.but condition still very good cos her girl spend most her time at granny house.
I want to use the $ to buy walker. Actually dun intend to let R use walker, but so many of u gals start using, I also vwant

My hb perfer to spend the $ on walker(can also use for #2) than on the mat.

 

[wei_kuan]

Vivian,
I just found this on Aug06MTB and have second thoughts on walker. Now not sure going to buy. Keep my $ first and see how first.

from Aug06MTB forum:
ARTICLE ON KK's WEBSITE:

Baby Walkers
The myth: Baby walkers help babies to learn how to walk.


The truth: Prolonged use of baby walkers can slow down baby's ability to walk.


Babies go through many stages of development. As the infant grows, the central nervous system matures and muscle bulk increases in size gradually. This allows the infant to move from a lying down to an upright position.

There have been no studies to prove that an infant will walk at an earlier age if he is put in a walker.


Putting an infant in a walker allows him to move around and explore his surroundings. It encourages the child to extend his legs, allowing weight bearing to occur. At the same time, the muscle groups in the legs of the baby are strengthened.


In addition, the infant should be about 5 to 6 months old before being put in a walker. This is to ensure that he has developed adequate head and upper body control in an upright position.


When the infant further develops and starts to crawl or pull himself into the standing position, other muscle groups are developed in these activities. Putting the infant in a walker then might not allow development of these other muscle groups.


As the child grows stronger, a single push on the walker might propel the infant in the walker far ahead. This may lead to headlong collisions with furniture, or falls down a flight of unbarred steps.


Baby walkers have been responsible for many injuries and deaths in children as:

Babies in walkers move faster and reach higher than are appropriate for their age, putting them at risk of injuries
Babies in walkers cannot see where they are going or what they are running over well
Walkers tip over easily
With the `aid `of walkers, toddlers can run into hidden dangers, bump into furniture, pull on hanging appliance cords, topple over, and fall down stairs
