hiya doggiebb,
wow. you're so brave to cut talia's hair leh... i really wouldn't dare. and was talia girl well-behaved when you cut her hair?

choo,mbb,
totally understand all the frustrations. but it is just a phase. they'll outgrow this, and go to the TERRIBLE TWOS!!!!! arrrrgh! But brace up and come here to vent ok?? cheer up.

linette,
aiyo your two princesses so pretty! and i really think annette looks so like you. pretty pretty with big round eyes. such chubby cheeks too.

kimi,
i agree that it's quite strange that your bm just stop flowing liao. but it's ok lah... at least now won't have to have the midnight feeds right? love the pics you took of mandy! so adorable. yeah. me like the side profile pic too. eh, so sorry abt now passing you the milk powder. been too busy these days. will def pass to you soon.. sorry again.

856335.jpg

Errm... where are my dimples?
 
Fizz...ehehe... u should have some timeout since ur dad can help out..maybe 'date' one of ur gfs (lunch near their office or if they take half day off). maybe having a company will keep ur mind off ur bb and make u feel more re-energised.

shihui, kate da jie still toothless leh..... i just hope that she wont be cranky like ivan (sorry choo!) when she started teething! i also thot that HA will help..then when i bring kate for the premature NNR at kkh..the doc said HA will make it worse cos too easily digestible! Really duno who to believe! Is PH's fart now very smelly? :p

sylk, cf, yes.cf should have no 2 and no 3.... then shorten the queue..maybe kate wont mind having a younger SO... older men are not so mature anyway ,might as well have a young and cute one :p

alabone..ahahha... nat look so COOL!

kimi
love the 2 pix of mandy...so cute! agree that 2nd pix is very nice....got "mood" type of photo!
happy.gif


Chang
Your foto "story" very funnee!
happy.gif
philson very handsome ah...he hv nice eyes.

wah, i envy u all...plan to be SAHM till bb go to sch...i scared wait SAHM, next time hard to rejoin workforce when bb is older, cos I'll oso be older mah...nowadays once past 40 very hard to find jobs lidat.
sad.gif
it's one of the reasons why I'm reluctant to quit work.

bloom,
ya, i see hannah every weeknite. u mean leaving at nanny without visiting on weeknites? I think some mummies do that. U try to find a good caregiver near ur place la...

sylk
coming back to celebrate national day??! Heehee!
happy.gif


Lil
my MIL tell me 1 bb enuf. hhahaha! looks like i won't be contributing to the national birth/replacement rate much...

but, i must say that it's not easy being an "older" mum. quite tiring...
my fren almost 40 liao now expecting #2, but after NT scan, 1 in 2 chance of DS. She's so upset. I remember how it feels cos i oso went through that... so i really wonder if i can go thru it again...the "stress" starts from preggie till birth and continues...plus, the physical demands...Haiz.
Then again, hving bb late wasnt a choice it just so happens that some ppl like me marry late. Life not always so straight forward can marry by mid 20s and hav bbs before or in early 30s... oh well.. c'est la vie!
 
Morning ladies,
So many cute bb pics
happy.gif


Choo, Mbb,
Ivan n Meg teething that why cranky???? Cool, cool and hang it there. My boi also teething and super cranky. Give yourself some time out hor
happy.gif


CF,
*Whisper, Your 2nd pic hor, like mother like daughter mah*
biggrin.gif
 
Hello mummies

So many postings, I read until blur liao @_@

QSG
If Evee really has the same type of eczema as JT, than liquid talc is not suitable. We used it on her, than PD says must stop as it is causing her skin to be even drier. So I had to lelong and sell my old stocks to MBB :p

Hwee, wow, Tim looks like a big boy!! Easily can pass off as a 10mth old!

Choo,
Yeah, I think its a good idea to ask hubby to take a few days off and take care of Ivan so tat you can take a breather. Actually when JT was 2 mths old, she used to cry and cry before every nap, I buay tahan also just left her on the cot and then I went back to my own room, cos I carry her she also cry mah, so bo chup lor. As long as the surrounding is safe, I think there's no harm to leave him alone for a while to regain your sanity. It'll be even worse if you always feel so down. Now JT will also cry if I am out of sight, unless I distract her with a toy, then I quietly leave her, then she'll be ok to play on her own in the cot. If not like when I'm having lunch, I just put her on the mat next to me, she'll be ok just to know that I'm somewhere around and she can crawl around as she wants. You want to try? Hugz hugz

Kimi

I tot Mandy doesn't take bottles? So you're only going to put the FM in the solids? Mandy is so sweet in the outfit
happy.gif
Wah you still got time to bake ah? I used to bake a lot, now on the days I dun work, I only do the bare minimum cos I still need to do marking at home..... :p


Doggiebb
Not bad leh!! At least Talia Ann still looks pretty after you cut her hair... you look at JT's hair? I cut it when she was 2mth old lor, and made a mess out of it. Till now still looks so horrible :p
Yah, my philips DECT bb monitor is round and yellow, but think there are 2 models if I remember correctly. This is the cheaper DECT model, the other one very cheem one I think (AND EX LAH!)

Bloom
eh, JT is the reverse leh, she rejected the pigeon wide neck, and took NUK premium. I know NUK teats can fit into pigeon wide neck bottles lah, I haven't tried the reverse before.
Yah lor, JT is quite impatient. I also never give her toys during meal time, only hubby does that lor. 1st time gave her a rattle, end up she put in the mouth and the whole rattle covered with cereal!! Argh men sometimes really dunno wat to say.... Then now he give her the fisher-price drum and tamborine thingy to play, at least too big to put into her mouth :p
Eh, you dun scare me leh, HA will make things worse? I'm thinking of starting to put Nan HA in solids next week when JT is officially 6mth, cos if I use BM to mix, always got wastage one, so sim tia....

JT mei-mei also toothless :p

ALabone
Both Nat and Jared look so cool. I nearly burst out laughing when I saw Jared's 2nd pic hahaha. Can imagine him like 1 of those kids on those taiwanese variety show....

CF

Philson is so cute!!! Eh, next week we go jalan jalan ok? CHOO!! Want to come along??!

MBB
Oh dear, is everything ok? hugz hugz.... come here and vent lah....
happy.gif
 
jen
you mean the name of the med for her eczema? He gave her Desowen which is steriod based, I can't remember the nameof the pimple medicine her gave her but I checked it up and the medications were all considered very strong. and he expected me to apply them all over her body whereever she had rashes.

Linette
how many days were you in Tokyo?

roo
keep us updated what MOH says. Do you bring your baby to the GP at Tiong Bahru if you're going to stop seeing the PEDI?

shihui
i tried NAN HA on my baby before, hoping that it'd help her allergies. Not sure if it helped but ultimately, I find that cow's milk is not suitable for her and I switched her to goat's milk formula which has been good for her so far. I use that to supplement my bm.

bloom
I use a range of products, switching to and fro so that her skin doesn't grow resistant to one. Mustela's stelatopia range, Avene's trixera, Dermaveen, GAIA and aqueous cream. Sounds like alot right? I felt so broke buying all her creams and baths but seeing her skin improve really makes it worthwhile.

starluster, my ger started to look for me and cry when i dropped her off from abt 15 months onwards. dunny why before she didn't lor.

looks like many mummies are stressed. hang in there! CF, seems like you're handling it best. please encourage the rest. oh, your philson is sooooo handsome. no wonder the queue so long liao.

kimi, i like mandy's side view too! nice!
happy.gif


abalone, nat looks big too! and jared is so sweet trying to squeeze his dimples....
happy.gif


Shihui, PH not the last. tim still no sign of teething yet...sigh! sitting? only abt 8 seconds...haha!

Gan, happy 7th month to Hayley!

those mummies bfdg, i dun have 'zhi ge' to say anything but i know you have perservere. i have frens bfdg till more than 18 months. the ss will drop cos by tis time need to supplement with solids. don't fret and don't give up!
 
Morning mummies...more lovely pics to start the day
happy.gif


CF
Aiyo...ur Philson getting more n more handsome everyday. Ya ya...I also will b SAHM until after my boy finish schooling, then nua nua at home after tat cos no market for old lady liao
happy.gif
Any excuse to nua rite (Hope my hb doesn't c this or will kick my butt back 2 work liao)! Philson really looks like a good natured boy leh lucky u. Fortunately E also improved alot liao *Phew*. So I m also enjoying my time at home wif him, plus he is a very smiley boy so really cheers me up everytime I c him.

Bobianah
U speak so "kuah cheong" ya...u dun look any older than me
happy.gif
Must be ur MIL jaga bb until scared already...quite tiring for the ah mah's to bbsit full time. I m sure u will feel like having no 2 once Hannah is older, esp once u c how lonely she is as an only child. I think I will hv no 2 but not so soon lah, then can enjoy them one at a time. If hv so many bbs so early got no time to give each of them the attention they need as bbs.

Mummies
U all changed 2 step 2 milk already ahh? Just to share hor, I asked my PD, he said in my case better dun change cos now E is drinking well so better dun rock the boat. He also said tat step1 n 2 not much difference just tat step 2 milk got slightly more protein, iron n calcium, but will also cause constipation. So for bbs who r already having trouble pooing better dun change until later.
 
bobianah,
u expressed all my concerns as an older mum. My biggest worried is oso wat if my 2nd bb had DS plus job, physical condition...the list go on n on.

Recently a fren who is same age as me preg with #4. She really my idol! Nw I xin yang yang thinking of #2. Mao dun mao dun!

Snowy,
sure will update here once MOH replied. I brought Denise to a PD at Clementi for her fever last wk as it was recommended by a family member. I don't hv a clear plan whether to bring bb to GP or PD. I will play by the ear depending on suitation. But cmf won't go TB PD only for vacc.
sad.gif

U staying ard Tiong Bahru? we can hv a small gathering with Lil and nana.
happy.gif
 
Roo
Clementi got PD meh...I was staying there b4 I also dun know. I only know clementi got alot of crap GP
happy.gif
Ya, ya...lets hv a small gathering. Let bring our bb's 4 a swim. I bot wet suit for my boy already but still hvn't brot him to use the pool yet. Want or not?
 
Lil,
haha! i born in '72 ah...and my hb is as old as our nation! so, not "kuah cheong" ah...:p
I was thinking of #2. I only child so i know wat it's like. It's not just abt loneliness when young, but when u are older, it can be quite stressful when u know u alone are "responsible" for looking after 2 aging parents!
sad.gif
If i want to hv #2, must 5 5, cannot wait. But i am still hesitant and my hb is even more reluctant...keep saying dunno if we hv energy physically/emotionally to go thru again...
uhoh.gif


roo
not easy hor... if my hb say go ahead, i think i wont be so hesitant. but hb oso hesitant, and it makes me think twice too...plus, the longer we take to decide, the older we get... we oredi had one DS scare wif Hannah...dunno if can tahan another round.
uhoh.gif
 
Morning Mummies..
Thanks for lending me a listening ear and enlightening me over our msn chat yest..
happy.gif
I managed to pat Shania to sleep yest nite over at my PILs place..
happy.gif
happy.gif


Alabone,
Sherilyn also posed the same way as Jared did.. She will say cheese to the camera, bt only for a few seconds.. Hahaha.. If i tell her to keep posing, she will lose interest and starts giving me the sianz look..

Kimi,
Mandy looks so cute in that outfit! Which cartoon character is tat? It looks familiar ley..

CF Chang,
Philson is so handsome and charming..

ShiHui & Hwee,
Shania also cant sit yet while her elder sis can kind of balance herself for almost a min when she was 6 mths old. She has started teething at 5.5 mths old while her elder sis only got her first pearlie at abt 8.5 mths old. Every child's development is different so you gals dun worry too much..
happy.gif
 
bobianah,
Me in the same shoe as you
sad.gif
, want to have no.2 but hubby rather reluctant. N me also very scare of going through the DS scare n night feed thing again sigh....
 
bobianah, dun say until like you so old lor. i dun think you can beat me lor. i also wen on have my #2.

roo and bobianha, dun be so -ve. i'm not young either. but i'm glad i did have #2. tell you, i'm thinking of #3! haha!

choo and mbb, you there? you ok today?
 
hmmm....how come so many mummies so hesitant to have #2....

bobianah, see told you me older than you liao. haha! yup, now you know the stress of being the only child, dun put hannah thru it. its not jus the responsibility of supporting parents. its definitely easier to turn to sibling for help when necessary.

jackie, its not that bad la. night feed is nothing. i also start all over now that my ger is 5 liao.

physically there may be some difference, but most importantly, you muz luv bb. if not for my age, i think i'll go on and have more..... my boss's wife just delivered her #6!
 
Ladies,
Long time no post long, but I've been reading the postings.
happy.gif


Now the topic is on no.2 huh? My thought is if you want it, best to gap it at 2 yrs old and those who are worried about child caring, dun really need to think too much, the bridge will straighten when the boat reach :p

In fact, I wish to go for no.4 for a boy, but not at this moment, mayb later when financially we are more stable then I can talk to hb for no.4. hee.
 
Lil,
ave 3. can't remb e blk only know its next to e bridal shop. ring a bell?
Where to for swimmming uh? I hvn't get swim wear for Denise. Where to get? Wat to prepare? I very loss for this cos I can't swim but sure can float with my natural buoyancy.
biggrin.gif


bobianah,
me 1 yr older than u. Hubby 3 yrs my senior so hubby n me both oso lau kok kok haha....... Initally our plan is #4 min #3. But we TTC very long for Denise so drop to #2 at least they hv compainon. Since me n hubby both nt young, we oso start planning for our retirement cos din wan to burden the Denise/kids next tm. Ie I can't stop working n b SAHM
sad.gif
Our case very tricky cos tm is not in our favor hv to think fast act fast.

bobianah,Jackie,
hubby ok. its me e wan w fear. I tend to think a lot. I'm more fearful abt the pregnacy process (DS + 2 m/c b4)than taking care. (like wat Van told me cos gt experince fr #1 liao

Jackie, kimi, roo,
yah, the DS thing is scary...i mean, my stand is even if DS i will keep bb, but not easy lor...
sad.gif
the emotional roller coaster during the pregnancy is quite tough... of cos, we trust God and we do hv a healthy ger, but to go thru it again...scared.
sad.gif
Cos, by then, we older liao, dunno if i hv the courage to go thru again.

hwee, roo,
heehee! good to know u are older...but at least u at #2 liao. me just started! :p
but having bb. hb must agree oso lor...else there may be feelings of "resentment". Choy choy!
i used to think i'll hv at least 2...but that was then i was a lot younger!! :p

roo,
same ar...start saving like mad. I oso dun want to burden my kids in future. I dun want hannah to go thru wat I go thru now...i mean, tho my parents nvr ask me for extra money but who knows wat happens as they get older?

quite tough decision hving another bb due to all the risks involved.

hwee
#6!!!
crazy.gif
 
serrich,

wanna try to put a small pc of cauliflower into the porridge to cook, its very sweet and nice. you can try fish again later.
happy.gif


nice doggie suit mandy! so cute..... you see babies are so sweet.... make me wan another bb again...
 
bobianah, just to let you know that i placed all my trust in GOD and didn't do any tests. just accept all that is given. you're not tat old, look at lin ching hsia and zoe tay, they are older than us lei. so hor, dun hesitat too long liao.
happy.gif


jackie, quickly have your #2 then when they're abt 2 yrs old, you can sleep in during weekends all over again. i was enjoying for a while liao until #2 came....now waiting again lor....or maybe #3 first? haha!
 
Jackie, aiyo, no wonder the whole morning so quiet
sad.gif


Kimi, Jackie,
If I want no. 4 i will sure follow those old wives tales n prwepare myself, but suai suai (touchwood) still gal!! I ren ming lor, cos that's the most I can go, aft 4, I will do the ligation liao :p
 
Snowy,

My PD also gave JT desowen for her eczema. She did say use only as last resort. But sometimes really bo bian cos I see her skin like so raw, nothing will help. But nowadays like better liao, so keep my fingers crossed.

Kimi
Yah lor, I still have to work at home. Sometimes I dunno if this arrangement is better than FT SAHM or FTWM. I find I have to multi-task at home, and sometimes it gets quite stressful when JT is cranky and I have to get my marking done before the deadline. But at the same time, I get the best of both worlds and get to spend time with JT, and still get a stable income and keep in touch with the working world.

Haiz... talking abt having #2. I also used to think I want 2 kids. Hubby still wants #2, but I am really hesitant after I had to reject a golden opportunity when my ex-boss approached me recently.
JT is actually quite guai (Of course not anywhere near Mandy and Philson lah), but if I have #2, I'll have to work PT for at least 5years. Altho' my PT job pays quite well, but it is stagnant in terms of career development. By then, I would be old and can't get back to where I left off. My plan now is to put JT in childcare when she is 18mth. so it's either #2 or my career..... I know its very poor thing to be a single child, but I dunno if I will feel very regretful if I gave up my career totally because of the kids. Afterall I worked so hard in the initial years... haiz... dilemma dilemma.... think I'll just wait another year and see how... that's when JT is 18 months, then I'll decide whether to go back to work and put her in childcare, or for me to try for #2.
 
hi all...

tis morning ivan was about to take his first nap...after nursing him...he already knocked out.so i put him in cot and on aircon...he realy look sound asleep..bt after i walked out less than 5mins...he cried liao...i dun know how to describe how i felt then...it was like 'suffocating'feeeling....i couldnt take it any more...close the door..n let him cried for 45mins while i quickly do my tings n ate breakfast..

its like he changes so fast....he was still ok on sat/sun..then monday all of a sudden he just nid hugs all the time!! imagine i can put him in cot for 45mins last time ..he can happily flip n crawl n play by himself..now the moment i put him in cot n out of sight he start to cry..really cant take his crying..tink he has very good lung...can cry continuously for 45mins till he saw me...once he saw me..tears stop..gave me a cheeky grin...then kept flip n crawl for me to see....

I tot i was able to stay at home to take care of him...bt the fact is that i cant....he is too cranky for me to handle..tink some of my ex col or fds could be mocking at me bah....i still tot given my character i shd be able to stay at home ...sigh..

MBB,

CF,

Wow i realy pei fu u tat u can do so much tings a day!! maybe like wat the rest said.Philson is a ' ' baby..so he doesnt give u much trouble...or maybe u are a very optimistic person by nature??

Kimi,

I tot i can be SAHM for a year...long long time ago..i tot i can marry a man who can let me be tai tai forever ..bt too bad i can't..now really very mao dun...i dun know if i have the courage to have no.2? wat if no.2 turn out to be a boy again?(cos i badly want a girl!!) wat if no.2 is another difficult bb?

Haiyo...just had monkey show at home. My fault lah...kaypo tot want E to learn how feed himself so just now gave him some teething rusks to lick. This boy got abit of teeth so managed to bite a small piece off, then dunno how to swallow, choke n vomit all over the sofa. Poor thing. This bloody Nestle...how can they call their rusk teething rusk when bb's can actually chew a piece off n choke on it one. Think will stick 2 the bellamy one altho my boy just lick lick a few times then throw onto floor liao cos so hard like dog biscuits like tat

Ave 3...I will check map. Just moved here so I m still not familiar with the area. My place is at Jln Bt Ho Swee. BTW, some mummies told me they bot their swimming gear fr Tom n Stephanie so I went 2 the one in tiong bahru plaza. Got quite a lot of wet suits. I bot a padded one for E cos afraid he will feel cold when he comes out of the water. U shd buy a wet suit too rather than a cute swimming costume cos I m afraid D might catch a chill when she comes out of the water. My place got pool so more convenient than going to public pool ya

Kimi
The dalmation bodysuit sooo cute. R u Cruella then???

Bobianah
My age not far frm urs leh. Ya understand ur feelings abt DS stand but I suppose its all god's will lor. I will still try for no 2 but much later, then just hv to pray tat everything goes well.

Kimi
Wat fish u put, salmon ahh? Mayb u can start with fish tat r less fishy first like threadfin. Tat's wat I will start with then move on 2 salmon. But I will only start later mayb 8 mths when E starts eating more. Now he eat abit nia full liao, like last nite sweet potato eat mayb 1 n half tablespoon nia he can last fr 6pm till 1am only wake up for milk. For now I will grind some ikan bilis n put in his rice cereal to add calcium n omega oils.
 
dora,
no lah, JT is really v guai. we're all q lucky. come 2 tink o it, it may be better 2 haf a part time now, even tho it's work, but it's time away fr ur bb. sometimes i 'm so desperate 2 haf time off fr mandy i offered 2 take over hubby's chores n sometimes help out in his work just so tt he can go entertain her. i told him i rather do work then just play w mandy. i just had enof o looking at her! hahahaa....
ya lar, since it's nt time yet, dun stress urself. u still haf one yr 2 decide mah!u might regret either way so just tink carefully n execute n dun regret. i guess more impt is whether u n hubby can wk out a compromise.

van,
hmmmm... then gd luck lor! but nt so fast rite? wait until reyna is one yr old then try?

jackie,
BOOOO HOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! dark side dun wan me le!!!! next time i ask mandy 2 muack muack u bk ok?

Kimi
Haiyo...then maybe u must put only a little bit of fish 1st n lots of veggie to mask the taste. I remember my mum cooked fish, spinach n carrot porridge for my newphew no fishy smell leh.
 
Lil,Kimi,

the bellamy cereal is the one with the word RICE on its box rite? hubby saw it yest but not sure correct.the other one is Porridge
 
hi mommies,

wow, so many posts - read till eyes blur
happy.gif
you ladies wanted to know what it was like taking care of twins, right? well, yesterday was a bad day, becos of mon nite. i always wake & feed my twins at ard midnight for their last feed before letting them sleep thru the night. but on mon nite, after feeding my boy, i let hubby feed my girl and put her to sleep becos i needed to go express BM. instead of making sure she's quiet (we use a pacifier) or asleep, he just left her in her cot. her babbling eventually woke her brother up (they sleep in the same room). we've learnt from experience that leaving one twin awake in the same room will ALWAYS wake the other one up, and hubby conveniently forgot in his impatience to go back to tinkering with his computer. with his sleep interrupted, the boy woke up really cranky. i was really upset with hubby and both being tired, we snapped at each other. at first i left my boy for hubby to settle since it was his mistake that resulted in this little fiasco, but the poor boy cried and howled till 2am in the morning. in the end i couldn't take it any more, and got up to rock him to sleep. so there i was, at 2am in the morning, falling asleep on my feet carrying a crying baby with hubby knocked out on the bed. luckily, tired out from crying, he fell asleep quickly. consequently, i was like a zombie the whole of yesterday... took me 24hrs to recover. but fortunately, this is quite atypical. usu bedtime is a peaceful, quiet affair becos we've the routines/habits down pat. all it takes is one little mistake for the whole thing to unravel though. whew... ;P

i visited the dec06 mommies blog (saw the url thru bloom's nick - great way to "promote" the site, bloom!). had a great time reading thru all the diff mommies' blogs. at least now i can connect the names to the faces. all the babies were soooo cute!
happy.gif
with so many blogs, i'm still slowly going thru each one by one. btw, i really like that many of the bbs here hv traditional names (like hannah, kathleen, mandy, hayley, just to name a few)...

one last thing - did anyone here do the optional vacc jabs like pneumoccocal or rotavirus? i wld like to, but i find it very ex (multiplied by 2 for me).

bloom/kimi,
just out of curiosity, did yr babies had to stay in nicu/special care since they came early? did the bill come up to a lot?
 
choo,
*sayang sayang* i understand how u feel. rem e time mandy changed overnite? for 2 weeks, she has crying fit/s every single day! she din used 2 cry so much last time. n when she cries, she wld cry until choke, whole face red n lotsa lotsa tears. so qi cham like tt. n usu she cries 4 more than 1 hr.

we oso dunno wat happened. suddenly she just cldn't sleep. even when she's fallen asleep, she'd wake up after half an hr n repeat e crying. so poor thing. so everyday i's highly strung, always v tense. can't relax at all. then one day, e old mandy returned. just like tt.

but now, she still wakes up occasianally at nite. feed her liao she'd still cry n can't sleep. need 2 coax her abit. she din used 2 b like tt. but they wld change one mah. can't expect them 2 b e same 4ever. they need 2 grow up n slowly slowly, we'd b able 2 understand them more as they grow more assertive n their personality shines thru.

if u really wanna go bk 2 wk, no harm considering. dun need 2 care bt wat others tink.

oh yah, mandy's nap times oso change until i oso dun bother 2 keep track. just go w e flow n follow their cues lor, we can't control everything.
 
eh, 2day mandy esp tired so i haf time 2 post so many msges... PLUS e dark side dun wan me....
sad.gif


choo,
ya. it's e 'rice' one. i tried e oat porridge oso mandy ate but din seem 2 like it much. it's too dry i find but still tastes great. btw, tan sl's nat oso din like it much. so stick 2 rice 1st lah

lyricist,
both our bbs had 2 stay in SCN. too bad one's in blue n one's in pink? bloom, who in pink n who in blue huh? i 4got liao! mandy stayed 4 13days. cos i last min opted 4 C-class so 4 e 2 wks stay plus my own delivery n stay only $1+K. such a gd deal. b4 tt i stayed ONE NIGHT at TMC, oso $1K+. hiyo, dun get me started. i neber even finish one box o tissue oso must charge me 4 tt. i vomit into a disposable plastic bowl oso must chrge me 4 e bowl! %$^#&^$*%()*&^)^*&$^
 
kimi,
ooh, the dalmatian dog costume looks really cute on mandy! where did u get it & how much? do they hv other type of doggies? ;P sorry, so many qns..

mommies,

kao_sticktongue.gif
like dat really siao liao, not to mention forget abt going back to work...
 
Dora, thanks for letting me know that liquid talc may not work on Evee. Now i think Evee has 2 types of ezcema initially is just the type like JT now got some like Bloom's bb too.

Bobianah, if you din say i tot you abt same age as most of the mummies in this group
happy.gif
Kept thinking i am one of the oldest.

kimi, how much fish did you put? for their age, one teaspoon should be enough.

Hwee, me too didn't go thru any additional tests including NT test for both my kids. Even gynae was quite shock that we chose not to have the test.

Vane, pei fu you for wanting to have no.4. Two is really very challenging and tiring for us especially handling Evee. Hubby kept saying he believe he will have no. 3. I asked him to dream on
happy.gif
Think he probably hoping to have a boy too.
 
Shihui,

This sat ah? I can reach CDANs only around 6.30pm the earliest or latest 7pm leh...

Bobianah,

Ur hubby as old as the nation meh? He looked like 32 to me..


Now u all keep saying wanna try for #2...

I tell u all hor, I think Qianhui is the one who wishes the most for #2

Is it the 1st time you're feeding Mandy porridge? Maybe it's the texture that she doesn't like, not the fish. maybe you have to cook longer, like use a slow cooker, and blend it?
The doggie suit is so cuuuute!! And Mandy is born in the year of the dog, so appropriate ahahahaha
happy.gif


Lyricist
Yah, you just reminded me of another fear of having #2. Cos I have genes for twins (my mum is a twin), I'm scared that I might end up having twins for #2, then I'll end up with 3!! That's what happened to my cousin (whose father is my mum's twin). She had 2 kids liao, then her 3rd pregnancy is twins, so she end up having 4 kids!!! :p She nearly went crazy... I am also very scared that will happen to me :p

QSG
Oh dear, is Evee allergic to something? How come suddenly got another type of eczema?

Choo
hugz hugz....I know it's extremely frustrating when they are cranky. 2 weeks ago, JT was also very cranky, dunno what she wants. But now she's ok liao. Hang in there, the phase will pass. No harm going back to work if you feel happier that way. I always feel a happy mum = happy baby, no matter if the mummy is SAHM or FTWM.
 
sigh sigh! so looks like i'm the oldest here lor.
uhoh.gif


kimi, maybe you used too much fish. i like to use cauliflower cos its sweeter and bbs like it alot! actually me too.
blush.gif


choo, dun rush. think carefully if you really want to back to work. you're gonna miss your bb a lot. can opt for half day?

QSG, what sort of ezcema does Evee have? how come 2 types? ya, my gynae also stunned when i choose not to take any of those tests. dunno why... :p

lyricist, dunno how much rotovirus jab costs but pneumococcal is approx $160 per jab. 4 jabs for below 6 months, 3 jabs for 6 months above and 2 jabs for 1yr above and 1 jab for above 2 yrs. no i didn't take any of those for tim. only took the 6-in-1.
 


dora, really envy you lor. working p/t and pay well huh?! next week go where jalan? jio me lei, me on leave on monday....hee hee.....
