hi mummies,
long time nv logged in. not becos of i m busy with work, in fact, i m damn FREE right now. as u all know, i gave birth last Sat.
and i passed my driving test b4 i chiong to KKH. well, it's a long story. not becos i passed the driving test and got too excited over it.
i had milky mucus discharge. i tot i had too much of cold drinks. so did not bothered abt it. then the contractions came on friday nite after dinner. i tot it's the LS signal cos i had been having LS for past 1+ wk.
but then later the pain came and went off. started to suspect tat it's contractions. pardon me for not knowing wat contraction is though i m a 2nd time mum. the 1st time i was induced so did not have the chance of went thru the contractions come suddenly stage.
i tahan the whole nite till Sat morning when i saw some blood in the discharge. suddenly i felt 'oh no, not this time.' the pains became quite intense but i still tahan all the way till my driving test time.
b4 i left house for the test, menses came. it's the sign liao and i made the decision for not going to the test. but then after think through, i still went. throughout the warm up and the test, the pains came and off, i still tahan. immediately chiong to KKH after the test (FIL & hb were on standby mode and waited for me at the driving centre).
the moment i reached KKH, i could not walked, felt like squatting down. but still tahan all the way and walked to the delivery suite. i broke down once i reach there, i cried and scream (almost). then the nurse said 'this one cannot wait liao' immediately push me to delivery suite.
when i was inside the delivery suite, i was strapped and put on drip and my gynae was informed. but b4 my gynae came and the doc in the delivery suite checked on how many CM i was dilated, the REAL pains came twice, waterbag burst and after 2-3 pushes, my girl was out. the whole process took 10min (reached KK at 1.52pm and girl was born at 2.01pm)
she was born at 28wk and 1.254kg. now in NICU. have to to BF her, no choice. now having 2 rocks hanging there.. damn jia lat now. but engorgement still bearable and better than the 1st time.
so far, she is doing good. heartbeat and breathing are ok but the weight dropped. doc said it's normal for premature bb and doc said she is happy with the girl so far.

YAY!
So glad we can go for a trial...it'll be the first one ever! Unless I itchy behind go for a My Gym trial before then. So exciting...hehe.
I figure the program would be about the same lah...if like course content, can always sign up with Evans Rd since Forum has bad reviews. I'll ask my SIL if she knows this teacher.
Rina,
I hardly go back to Bedok now...no one to visit...but yah, I think it is a great place
Good food!
Disneytokyo,
ya, I won't be giving Jesse any shellfish for now. I'm afraid he'll get allergies...I'll probably wait till 2 for that. Afterall, there's no real need to eat them now. Though oysters are rich in iron..
Salt
Talking about salt. During Jesse's first birthday, his auntie gave him keropok! I was so mad. hmpf.
Mrs Lai,
what kind of ribbons are you looking at? Went to a shop in taka just now and saw some really nice ribbons. Reminded me of the ribbons my mother used on my hair! haha.

disney,
you know, I've never tried giving my boy beans!
Tell me, do you buy the beans dried? Or do they actually see fresh beans? Or is it from a can? I know nothing about beans...previously I didn't know how to go to market (btw, now my MIL just buys and cuts it up for me and puts it in small containers...*hangs head in shame*)
But ya, tell me about beans...
I don't take liver and I think you can probably guess, I know nuts about liver too...I don't mind giving it to Jesse, if I knew what to do with it!

Jesse - what a good life! i envy you and miss my mom and aunties heheh
beans, peas, lentil - they all belong to legume family
i just buy the frozen peas from cs last time, I dun know where to get fresh, then defroze them and then peel
I also gave him the edamame - u know the jp beans you can get in cs or paragon supermarket? I let him try last time, he liked it but only a few. Too fearful of allergy! I suggest u try peas first.
Lentil - they always say get the red lentils and submerge it in water for 20 to 30 min. I always boil lentil until soft then add leek and potato or rice. He has been having lentil since 11 months old. After cooking it, you will taste the sweetness but it comes from leek and lentil. Note that no sugar/salt was added.
I've always boiled peas, potato, carot, onions with water and then add brown/rice. Sometimes, i cook fried rice with it, just add chicken breast or pork, rice
I think what i really want is to encourage my son how to chew & gradually eat our food. (of course not additing too much salt/sugar/seasoning)
I will look for the recipe book and email to u. I always do it in large portion bec of the heavy eaters in my house.

Augleo,
Thanks..but im still having sore throat..
Your initial timing im ok cox Jayden shicida class start from 2:30pm.
Im afraid the new timing i cant cox Jayden finish class @ 3:30pm & I
worry he will be too tired..also its his nap time between 4-5pm.
So i got to give it a miss. Xen can replace me now..
Anyway ideal why they change timing? If they change again, i will go..

Jesse, here you go
Lovely Lentils (makes 8 portions)
(from karmel's new complete baby & toddler meal planner)
1/2 onion, finely chopped
100g/ 4oz carot, chopped
15 g/ 1/2 oz celery, chopped *
50g/ 2oz split red lentil
200g/7oz sweet potato peeled and chopped *
400ml/14 oz vegetable or chicken stock or water
* means i did not use them since i am too lazy
- Saute the onion, carrot and celery in the vegetable oil for 5 min or until softened.
- Add the washed lentils and sweet potato and pour over the stock or water.
- Bring to the boil, turn down heat and simmer covered for 20 min.
- Taste if lentil has softened or not if not, continue boiling.
You may puree this if your boy still wants pureed food.
Green lentil or semi red lentil might take longer time to cook.
Please note that the usual measurement is 1 cup of lentil is to 3 cups of water.
Happy cooking.

Congrats to Jmon-- your baby girl cannot wait to see the world!
Thanks, Augleo for signing me up.. Also- I might have known you wld not have forgotten abt my bbJ.. your memory is superb.
Just now, tried to wean bbJ off suckling to sleep-- at first he just "aiy-aiy" alittle, no tears, after abt 10 min he got so frustrated, he started yelling.. and I gave in (as usual- he won..*sigh* ) how to wean him off BF? any ideas, mummies?

disney,
Thank you for the recipe!!
Okay, time for my stupid question...where do you get your lentils from?
I just googled it, so at least now I know what it's supposed to look like...raw. haha. flat, irregularly round...
Yes, I give him peas...from the jar. The pre-made kind. (Think now ppl understand why it's better for some babies to eat bottled foods...otherwise they might starve because of their mothers!)
What kind of sweet potato do you buy (orange/yellow)? Does it matter?
I have frozen mixed veg in the freezer and tried to give it to Jesse before, he didn't like the corn and peas. Now I know why...I didn't peel them!
*sigh* this is getting to embarrassing...I should move on.
But yes, I understand how you feel...I was on my own for a long time. Actually, I'm still pretty much on my own lah, only in the last two weeks my MIL has been buying for me. She's afraid I just give Jesse jarred and instant foods. Already all her son eats is fast food and take out.
Btw, if you need any help, let me know I'll try to help you out. I've been in your situation, I know it's very hard and lonely. But you sound very strong.
Well, if I put Jesse in infant care, I'll be more available to render help.
But I'm still thinking about it. It's hard for me to make this decision.
Michele,
Yes, I could possibly meet up with you tomorrow but only after Jesse gets up from his nap. You live near Tampines? I live in Seng Kang.
I hope you feel a burden lifted off you after you see your maid off.
It's been a month and I'm still very happy without the maid.
Thank you for the recipe!!

But yes, I understand how you feel...I was on my own for a long time. Actually, I'm still pretty much on my own lah, only in the last two weeks my MIL has been buying for me. She's afraid I just give Jesse jarred and instant foods. Already all her son eats is fast food and take out.
Btw, if you need any help, let me know I'll try to help you out. I've been in your situation, I know it's very hard and lonely. But you sound very strong.
Well, if I put Jesse in infant care, I'll be more available to render help.
Michele,
Yes, I could possibly meet up with you tomorrow but only after Jesse gets up from his nap. You live near Tampines? I live in Seng Kang.
I hope you feel a burden lifted off you after you see your maid off.

Jessemom- I am very happy to know you bec before I always think that I really do not know how to cook after working for 10 years. Then during my sabbatical, I joined cooking classes and I asked the teacher what is a lentil. My classmates gave me "the look".
hehehe! Kidding you ok? Don:t get angry at me.
Lentil - you can buy in cs, if you cannot find it, ask the lady where they arrange it. Sometimes they might ask u if you want organic or not. Not all babies like lentil so you shld try it in small servings first. Or else, you/hb will eat it all.
Peas - yah you shld peel them when you are givng them the first few times and mince them. Usually after defrosting the peas, when you wash it, the peeling automatically comes out. As for corn, some babies find it difficult to chew. My boy does not like it so far.
Sweet Potato - I did not know there is an orange or yellow. i think it does not matter bec potatoes are naturally sweet. I substitute this with the ordinary potato. Anyway both are carbohydrates.
Thanks for your offer by the way.
Mommies - Any meet up in central area ?

disney,
if the timing is right, I can also meet in the central area.
My timing revolves around Jesse's naps...
I'm hopeless at buying foods. When my mom came for a visit in Jan this year, I asked her to show me what spinach looks like! I'm so glad they label it on the plastic bag at NTUC, cos I'm definitely not going to remember it!
Maybe there's supposed to be shame in my ignorance but well I just never thought about it growing up. I remember tearing in San Francisco Chinatown one afternoon because the shopkeepers kept asking me "what do you want?" and I just didn't know. Whatever I wanted was always just in the fridge...out in the "wild", I don't really recognise anything!
I missed my mother then.
My cooking is mainly adult stuff, spicy/strong stuff, stews, italian, american and baking (I don't decorate). I don't know all this baby/healthy stuff. I can whip up pancakes easily but only recently did I start cooking porridge. (It's "sick people food" to my HB and I.) Which is why Jesse has always eaten jarred foods daily.
Yup, if you need help in anything...let me know.

jesse: my hubby would love to eat what u cook! but i am traditional chinese at heart, i love my chinese food!!!!!
Disney: you are not the only one who doesn't know what is a lentil. I read in my book and then had to google the item to see wat it looks like. Up to now, although I already bought dried pinto beans, I don't have the courage to add it to her meals yet cuz i dunno wat to do with it!
Speaking about oyster, cuz maid sick so i cook porridge for lunch. Since I boil my stock first, so i scoop over a bit from my pot to make porridge for my gal. My gal got the scallop plus dried oyster stock and she seems very happy with the porridge. Thankfully nothing showed up but still have to be careful I guess.

mrs lai - yup be careful. my boy is ok with scallop but not shrimps but dr asked me not to do it before 2 years old.
Aug: I think I give my slot up ... hubby doesn't seem to be interested in it.
Jmon: wahhhhhhhh ... i kowtow to you ... your endurance of pain is THE BEST! I hope you gal can be discharge soon ... she must miss mummy and mummy miss her!
Jesse: jarred food is ok really. sometimes I am too tired or lazy to cook, I'll just open one jar for her. You can also make pancakes for your boy to eat =) I'm sure he'll love it! I can't make pancakes at all so I'll just scramble an egg for her breakfast, tt's the easiest!

Hi Ixora,
yah- actually I was also thinking of putting "fong yau" (Cantonese) or something like that to discourage him from suckling.. but then again, feel so sorry for my little baby.
Sanrio-- are you still BFg bb Cher?
come to think of it.. our babies are no longer "babies".. they are now TODDLERS! bbJ has been walking since 3 weeks ago and now quite steady. Sometimes he gets so excited he practically runs!

disney: I was told japanese cooking is one of the hardest to do, cuz it's suppose to be very precised? I tend to believe it after watching that "jaing tai de shou si" and I was like ... so much work! Also one friend told me japanese soups are difficult also and needs skill.
What I really want to learn from japanese cooking is this noodle dish I had at Lake Kawaguchi ... it's called "hoto" or something ... it's the first time i actually finished the entire bowl of soup/ noodles all by myself without sharing with anyone! I still hope to go back and that the shop is still there selling me that noodles! I had the best ramen rt up at the mountains ... takayama ... and i rem the shop was a small one, but run by this really old man. The soup was so superb I slurp up everything - it was clear, sweet and flavourful. Nothing in Singapore comes even close to it!
Argh I wan to go japan again!!!!!!!

jesse: when i first started learning how to bake (despite having those complusory home economics class) only my dogs were willing to touch / eat my cakes. In my cooking class at home econs - my fish was BURNT. I didn't know how to cook ladyfingers also, added water and it turned into mush. Better still, prawn omelette, how difficult can it be? Yes, I screwed it up!
