Gig - yeah lah, so long as pass CNY can already. Bt I dun wanna b greedy, 9 days enuff le, cos I wanna c hw my bb looks like. 
Ah Ger, light blue is not as nice as silver lah but less common
ck, usually baby will only switch over to big milk bottle after 6 months so u will definitely need small bottles for milk, not just for water!
Me also sourcing for holidays but so last minute - 'cos I'm moving out on 25 Nov, then hubby gotta see when he can take leave in Dec 'cos he is also travelling in Dec.. hopefully first wk of Dec can go to Perth or something.. dying for a holiday before I pop!!!
Charis, the 8th day thing is true lah but waaaah, when I saw the video of the 2 methods of circumcision, I cried lor. Cannot tahan.. anyway, medically it's not proven 100% advantageous so I will wait to see if Tim needs circumcision when he's older. Trust me, it's too painful to bear. When Tim was on the double phototherapy bed for jaundice, I cried my eyes out!!!
Jas, I didn't really lose my weight fr the 1st pregnancy and I'm well over 60kg already so hehe.. 1.5kg is OK, particularly since bb is growing well *phew*.. if I put on more weight, alamak, I'd be FAT!!!

tat day I was asking mum hw many btls req, she said maybe 2med 2 small, no need big ones.
I will b 32wks after mid Dec, so I wun b travelling already.
Perhaps this article may help for those who are thinking hw much they should put on.
http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/aboutpregweightgain.html
Those who are lazy to click on the link:
Facts About Weight Gain:
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends a weight gain of 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy, for women who were a normal weight before pregnancy
- Women who are underweight should gain between 28-40 pounds, unless your health care provider says differently
- Women who are overweight should gain between 15-25 pounds, unless your health care provider says differently
Eating low fat meals will allow you to gain weight correctly for your pregnancy. Putting on weight that is unnecessary is easy to do when eating junk food and foods that are higher in fat
Eating a well-rounded diet is important. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, pregnant women should have 3 servings of milk yogurt and cheese, 3 servings of protein, 3 servings of fruits, 4 servings of vegetables and 9 servings of whole grain products
Weight Distribution:
- 7 1/2pounds is about how much the baby will weigh by the end of pregnancy
- 1 1/2pounds is how much the placenta weighs
- 4 pounds is attributed to increased fluid volume
- 2 pounds is the weight of the uterus
- 2 pounds is the weight of breast tissue
- 4 pounds is because of increased blood volume
- 7 pounds is attributed to maternal stores of fat, protein and other nutrients
- 2 pounds for the amniotic fluid
Total: 30 pounds
On a Trimester Basis:
First trimester: 3-5 pounds
Second trimester: 1-2 pounds per week
Third trimester: 1-2 pounds per week
Remember this is just an average; you and your health care provider need to decide what is best for you.
There are alot more articles frm American Preg, so feel free to read thru.

ck,
hot temperatures, like hot spring, steam bath and jaccuzzi, or even soaking urself in hot tub is not recommended as it might affect bb's brain development or spinal. read that last time.
ah ger,

everytime passes by colleagues, instead of looking at me at my face, they look at my stomach, very irritating i feel.

hi gals
finally got time to log in liao..
regarding sweet stuff - i also got craving for that!! normally i dont like sweet stuff, dunno my gal will have sweet tooth or not
re - pray to tian gong
my own hse, my parents, my inlaw all pray to tian gong. so this yr my mum will not pray cos she going to help me, hb says he will still pray cos he dun believe having bb is dirty.
actually hor its a misconception that woman who gives birth or having menses cannot pray. We have checked with those temple people,they say its ok one cos those things are natural. This misconception comes from those era where woman are belittled by the society, it is not related to the teachings of taoism. Anyway, still alot of older folks got say cannot lor.

Fat babe..I think I buy cot better, cos we will teach baby to sleep there until he's around 2..no excuses..haha. Also the cot will be used for diapering..a playpen is a bit difficult cos no pull down rails. Then around 2 or 2 plus, graduate to junior bed..Yup i guess its more worth it to buy those kind that can convert to junior bed.

charis, giggler, yah hopefully the perth trip works out 'cos my hubby's schedule is always so tight. I told him i hv not been on a plane since i flew by at 8 months pregnant for my 1st child leh!!! We've been to M'sia and Batam a few times but tak shiok lah... finances are tight but he says should go on holiday lah.. with 2 kids, dunno when we will ever go on holiday again!!! Heh.
Charis, I do believe that God gives us strength lah but I've seen quite a few of my friends' kids who are very easily upset and so happens tt they went through traumatic times at birth - hernia op, swallowing meconium, circumcision.. so I cannot bear it lah. Anyway, at 7 days, Tim was warded for jaundice therapy so wouldn't hv worked out anyway.
playpen- i leave it at my parents's place as a back-up cot for my son.. and we bring it on holiday with us 'cos usually hotel cots are so rickety and dirty. mine's a Graco pack n play.. i really like it 'cos it's super idiot proof and for child safety, graco playpens are the best on the market.
aiyoh, i also got sweet tooth nowadays must try to control...

fat_babe, me opp leh. Put on more wt this time round. Now praying hard that I wont exceed 10kg for the whole preg. You getting massage lady? I still thinking who to call.
smurfy, I feel that cold stuff is not gd for bb so try to refrain from taking. I compare my fren used to take soft drinks, esp coke during preg and her gal is quite weak. So I try to refrain from cold stuff and my gal is ok.
I still take beef outside lah.
Catz, its true that it'll be more difficult to travel with 2 kids.

yes, when looking for a place, it is best to look for one within 1 km from good schools. My hb was from rosyth so as long as we do not insist on all-boy school, my baby should have a place in the school in future, who knows our kids will be classmates 7 yrs down the road, haha.

Hi Feb mummies-to-be,
I have started a BP on disposable absorbent sheets.
This sheet can be used to put on the bed in the last trimester in case your waterbag burst when you sleep. It can also be used after giving birth to prevent staining on your bed from the heavy flow of lochia.
Do take a look if you are interested.

re beef: me & my hb dun take beef, since we pray to guanyin. Our thinking is that since we belief in her , we shld oblige the dos and donts.. but we still have not reach the stage of being vegetarian lah.
just to share wat happened during my first tri.. i got staining and fresh red bleeding , gynae says most prob is cannot make it..so we go to guanyin temple and pray.. draw a lot and the lot says must faithfully pray. so during the first tri, we took vegetarian for abt 1 or 2 mths.
giggler,
my dad is not hokkien , but we follow mom's custom.

just to share wat happened during my first tri.. i got staining and fresh red bleeding , gynae says most prob is cannot make it..so we go to guanyin temple and pray.. draw a lot and the lot says must faithfully pray. so during the first tri, we took vegetarian for abt 1 or 2 mths.

Yah, the travel cert is like a letter. I have no idea what it says. But last visit to my gynae, I asked him about travelling, and the nurse straight away took out some form or piece of paper from the file drawer. Dr quickly told her no need yet. Wait til next visit (week before I go). So I assume that was the travel cert. He said that travelling is fine up to 35 wks.
charis,
Yah. I trained Sarah to sleep in her own cot in her own room from 7 wks. Actually, at that age, not much training involved. They don't know the diff. It's more like training myself to sleepwalk over to her room for her feeds, sleepwalk my way through diaper changes, sleepwalk back to my own bed. But one thing is, I avoided breastfeeding her in bed from the start. I always sat in a chair to feed her. I know that feeding in bed is convenient cos you end up lying down and bb sleeps latched on, and you sleep too. But I tahan it, and to me personally, it was worth it.
playpen: Personally, I prefer the cot. It's much sturdier and can last til bb is a toddler. Now Sarah has graduated directly to a single bed. No need toddler size bed in between. Save $$ buying furniture. Cot is waiting for Benjamin to pop.
We have a playpen in the living room. Essential for busy mums. Provides a safe play environment for the young child. (Right now, Sarah's playpen has become a toy pen. Must clean it up soon)
