Ladies,
may I ask, for those who has done the research on the carrier, do u need a extra hand to put bb into the carrier? What happen to my current carrier is that if my hubby is wearing it, I will need to carry the bb and help to put the bb into the carrier and when out of the carrier, so the carrier is nvr for me to bring bb out, cos I don't have extra pair of hand to help me. I wonder is this the case for all the carrier?

The ergo carrier can carry baby like lying down side way position (like as if we are nursing the baby) with the help of infant insert. And as per the website, the ergo carrier is like in a sitting position, so even if you put baby seated on it, its just like they are sitting down.
Wow Vanessa, you still can carry your girl in the sling when she was 2. My faith i stop carrying her in the sling when she reaches 14-15months, she is way too heavy for me to sling her on, my back ache terribly.

doggiebb, Jan mommies got one more month to prepare all the bb stuff mah..so got more time to meet up..hehehehehe
afcai, you are not having any normal u/s this month during your monthly checkup before your growth scan next month? Cos normal u/s can also find out the gender.
my hubby also don't like to do household chores, but now I don't dare to mop anymore so its either let him do it so I have to put up with the dirt. That day, he actually try to use the 2nd round of water used for rinsing clothes in the washing machine to wash my slow cooker! Its really 'the men don't get it!'
Actually I got the sarong sling cos hubby like to carry things in front like a kangaroo..ahahahahha....
Jen, Shihui, if you all want a sample to try out first I can see if I can pass mine to you to try out before you decided if you want to get it or not. I got it 2nd hand (batik material http://www.momsinmind.com.sg/Trpx-Lilac1895.jpg) but have not tried with a real bb yet. Anyway, it is recommended that the fabric can be washed a few times before use to make it softer for the bb so might as well get a 2nd hand
Agreed that it can only be used for first few months though.. after that I intend to use stroller.
choo, where are you going for high tea? I am looking for pastry high tea to go with gf
mommies, any good pastry high tea place to recommend? Gf got pastry craving.

Suddenly developed a craving for mooncakes *drools*
Ladies, where are your favorite mooncakes from? Last year, I bought those from Goodwood Park and Da Zhong Guo...*YUMMY*
think to satisfy my craving, I shall pop down to Bengawan solo to buy myself ONE just to eat by myself this afternoon!

Shihui,
I need to go look for it, coz while shifting house last year, don't know i chuck to where liao.
I went into Ergo website, they have video to show how to put the baby / toddler in the carrier, like very easy leh. But believed it will take a while to master lah. I took a while to master the MIM sling too.

past years i dont usually eat much mooncake.. just one or two pieces nia.. but maybe due to pregnancy craving.. this year already finish 1.5 box w hubby, and ate more when back home in msia oso.
there's a bp for raffles hotel mooncake and its selling like hotcakes... seems their champagne mooncake and their crunchy chocolate mooncake very popular. i never tried before though.

doggiebb,
sorry forgot to reply you regards to date 22nd. weekdays usually reserve for mother in law going out and hubby working late. So a bit hard to anticipate if i can make it.

Just try lor! Would be so fun if you and Vanessa can bring your girls along!
I've heard conflicting things about first time mums delivering dates. One research I read is that mums in france on the average gave birth at the 41st weeks. Yet I have also heard that some pple are saying that first time mums would give birth 1 or 2 weeks earlier. Which one is more accurate?

Qianhui,
Taka mooncake fair starting on 14th Sep..then can go mooncake tasting before deciding what to buy..
Ask u ladies.. do we need a swaddle cloth to wrap baby up or can any type of cloth do the trick? I read from book saying that it is better to swaddle a newborn up so that they will feel more secure?

Choo you quitting ? Why ?
I wish to stay home to be with my daughter and this new born baby. So during my maternity leave, i see what i can do at home to enable me to do that
Doggiebb,
But my gal sleeps early, by 8pm she is in bed liao. So unless really really no choice, than i will bring her if not i prefer her to sleep at home. Ok, i'll try and keep you update about it.
For my elder girl, i deliver about 12 days earlier. Hopefully this one comes out on due date itself hee.

me too would most likely be staying at home after maternity leave....
For both my gals I delivered on the 40th week leh... I was also expecting it to be early for the 1st born, but was induced on the 40th week (not enough Aminotic Fluid), the since it's the 2nd birth, should be early n fast, yet, again induced on the 40th week, got abit of show, so admit myself lor....
doggiebb,
If it's on the 22nd n it's in town, most likely only me n hb if he wants to join, cos if I go back home to fetch the gals, it will be very late liao....
