Hi strawberry
Chloe was a really good girl. She sat throughout the NDP, without figeting! She didn't want to put on the poncho when it rained, so I let her wear the NDP cap (which she kept taking off!)
Here's some photos to share with all.
Mummy and I getting all patriotic.
President is waving at us!
Phew! Black Knights are awesome.

Hi Mummies,
Long time didnt log in liao. Have been veri busy since my #2 pop out.
Just an update of Avril, she has started going to childcare(half day AM) on 4 Aug. She has been crying since day 1, but duration of crying has been getting shorter. When i ask her whether she wan to go to school, she will say she dun wan and start crying. Veri heart pain when i see her crying. She also cry in her sleep at night.
But my hb say she will get use to it soon and insist on continuing.
As for my #2 (Ashley), she was born on 2nd June @ 3.89kg. Had a smooth & fast delivery - normal delivery w/o epidural in 1 hr. She is currently on half FM & half BM.
Will post some pics soon.
Good day to all!

Hi Moms,
I'm actually a Mom of an August 06 baby, but I just thought of sharing with you moms what's happened to his health (skin infection, to be exact), so that at least you moms are 'more informed' than me if you ever get to see such a case in the future (I was totally clueless when we first encountered this).
Vai (he's turning 2yo on Aug20) has red spots on his face, and it all began on the nose (that looks like the skin was 'inflammed'). The skin dried up, scabs came off, but it didn't get better as more 'sores' appeared.
It's only when we saw a dermatologist that we're told that it was Impetigo! I knew nothing about it before.
He's prescribed antibiotics (oral) and cream too (now we're waiting for the skin infection to clear)
Anyway, I shared about it on my blog, please do click and read about it, fyi. It's apparently common among kids between 2 - 6yo.

Hi Apple,
Congrats on your second one! Wow, 3.8kg is quite huge n u managed to do it without epidural? This is really admirable... I wish I could do it too but doubt so cos my pain threshold is so low...
BBlush, Chloe looks so sweet in her clothings. Was it strawberry shortcake? I had wanted to go to the NDP with my parents too if not for my big tummy. I'm not afraid tat Zavier would fidget more of junior in my tummy. Haha....By the way, did u go for the S'pore Flyers event by your company? My HB was there...
U have changed to part time already?
Mummies, any of your kiddos can jump up with both legs off the ground? I kept teaching Zavier how to bend his knees n jump but he just can't do it leh. So far, can only jump with one leg, can't take off with both legs.

oh, i wouldn't have gone to NDP if I was in your situation
Yes, I was there. I brought Chloe and hubby along for flyer as well. Your hubby went alone? I thought she would be scared in the flyer, but she was very excited and kept running around in the capsule. I took the ride with her twice
I will change part time after Chloe starts Nursery next year. But I have spoken to my boss and he is ok with the arrangement. It was either that or I resign.

Xiaoyang,
Ur gal is on half day or full day CC? My gal will start to say 'dont want' 'go home' when i bring her to CC and cry once i reach the entrance. Her teacher will carry her and i'll go off immediately. I'll hide outside to observe her. She will stop crying after 5- 10mins.
bearyhugs,
Avril can do the jump with both legs off the ground. She juz do it herself one day, and we were surprise. Zavier shld be able to do it soon.

My gal is now in full day. Actually, on the 3rd day, we started to let her on her own but we still hiding n see her respond. Good things is she onli cried 4 a while. On 2nd weeks onwards, she is alright now. U have to talk to her after she back from school like keep reminding her how fun the school that she can play with her friends..I do a lots of talking to her aft her school. Now she is very happy to go to school..Once she can starts waving bye bye to u..means that she is alright..Now, when she come bk hm, she will dance n sing n clap clap when she listen to certain familiar songs that taught in school. i guess it is very good

Wow, I had a shock when i see YH standing on the cot.
Mhhhhhh...really miss those days when they are still baby.
Now Lucas come out all sort of different pattern of mischief. Do you find your child getting more and more cranky?
Sometime it make me wonder if they were too bored at home. I was thinking if i should send Lucas for 1/2days CC when he turn 24mth, than perharp can help to keep them occupied.
Now he basically keep calling me on my phone and ask me the same question again and again.
Lucas: Where mummy?
Me: Mummy is working
Lucas: Where daddy?
Me: Daddy is working
Lucas: Where gei gei(sister)?
Me: Gei gei go to school.
Lucas: Mummy pekapoo cus
Me: pekapoo
and this can repeat and repeat.
Guess my phone bill going up already.
If i hang up the phone without him saying bye bye mummy 1st, he will cry and make big hoo haaa at my mum hsg.
Than like to jump on the bed, lucky my bed is on the floor.
Like to run around naked after bath.
Will throw tantrum and cry if we don't get what he mean.

So fun rite, JK can walk liao. As they started to walk they oso learn to imitate very fast hor.
Owen can run now. Last Sat, brought him out for a walk. He started to run and refused to let me hold his hand. Keep saying " liat bueh diot li!" He picked this up when my MIL could not catch hold of him while he was running away, so she said tat in hokkien loh.
JK can say so many words ah, so cute. Owen still at NO phase. Everything says no. But he can distinguish between yes and no. When I purposely asked him questions that he needs to answer yes, he will force out a soft "yeh.."
Meilik, jia you!

Haha Gouma,
You so farnie. But its true... wow so many of us from this thread really support govt policy man. Don know when would the effective would be for the 16 weeks of ML, so certainly hope that it would be implemented before I deliver junior.
Mycrsania, I saw u on tv during the national day rally! Wow, so u were one of the lucky ones being invited. No wonder cos the hot topic now is on matchmaking and getting more married couples. U must be super busy now!
Mummies, was so surprised that Zavier dictated out from A to Z just now to me without missing any alphabets. But he still doesn't know how to identify the individual alphabets except for ABC. I'm really enjoying listening to him talking everyday, never fail to amaze me. So serenemeow, wait for more miracles to occur!
Brought Zavier to Hortpark to play last Sunday, was really hot.

babyblush,
l think maternity leave and some tax rebate are the most obvious one . l dun think people will purposely go and have children becos of these benefit. U see the mummies here all get preggy without Mr lee announcement. Hehhe by the way..it doesn;t attract hubby at all to consider to have another baby. Sob Sob.

But some mummies will be disappointed... Some perks only apply to those babies born on or after 1 Jan 2009.

i was really disappointed with the perks.
so what are the reasons that people decide to have children? I had one because I wanted to complete and fulfil my married life. I am satisfied with my family now. Based on the amount of money I've spent on Chloe (from gynae, delivery, milk powder, diapers, enrichment classes, preschool etc etc...) I don't think I can afford another one without sacrificing our current lifestyle. In today's competitive world, I would rather focus all our resources on one child and make sure she gets the best I can offer.
If I have more money, I wouldn't mind having more children. For a working mum, it does boil down to affordability and opportunity costs.

My suggestion for benefits that would make a difference:
1. Exempt GST for all preganancy and childcare services, baby products and education.
2. Free compulsory vaccination for all children under age 2.
3. 4 months maternity leave which includes option of 1 month to be taken by either parent.

aiyoh babyblush,
don't be happy yet...
sooner or later the increase in the childcare fees will offset the increase in subsidies.
In last nite's news, the govt is saying that they will look into the qualification and the salary of these early childhood teachers in order to bring up/keep the standard on the child cares. This subtlely will means that school fees will be revised with higher salary and qualifications? Not sure.. just monitor
