Spring: I did my sums (v proud since i almost flunk maths haha). Pigeon is usually going at $9.90 for 3 packs. Avent was going at $12.90 for 3 packs, but after discount, works out to be at $9.60 or so. If the $19.00 for 6 packs, the difference is only 10 cents for 3 packs. Given that avent is a much bigger and thicker sheet, my vote goes to avent hehehehe
gacc,
Just saw the little dolly you posted on your blog. I know that doll! Went shopping with my ex-colleague for that doll for her gal. Very pretty, makes me want to play with her too, given that I never, ever liked dolls since young. She has lots of accessories and appliances like fridge, bath tub, etc. Have lots of fun! They sell at OG too, can wait for sale to buy. Hee just kaypoh-ing

Wah! Seems like you make a very good Finance Minister for the family….I never count till so precise…but we usually try to buy the pigeon wipes when there’s a promo.. not quite sure though if it’s still $9.90 for three during promo. But I’ll sure keep a lookout on the price the next round I buy! Thanks for alerting.
Augleo
My dear…you sure brighten up my day with this possibility….haha….was kinda sad that we couldn’t go coz we have never been to a mass picnic, JBG and PLUS, there’s really quite little opportunity for my super shy boy to interact with other kids.
As for the family day event by my hubby’s co….it’s a lunch buffet at the hotel, followed by exclusive ride on the Singapore Flyer for the Company staff & family.

I’m not sure but not at the moment. As what Jesse said, no point if go back to work and get a miserable pay. Maybe when bb is older. Less stressful then.
The most difficult part of being a SAHM is not being able to spend freely like before.
So I always ‘shop’ at supermarkets lor. Then buy a lot of things for the house, then my hb won’t blame me mah.
My friend booked the Party Place to hold her son’s 1st month party. Rental is $500 for 4 hrs.
Jesse
Nowadays I always read books on bbs. Like now, I’m reading: Your Toddler, Month by Month.. How exciting is that?
Mrs Lai
But I need an Indonesia maid coz my mum don’t speak English but she can communicate in Malay. So Indonesia better for me, I guess.
Kelley
Value maid agency, is it one of the shophouse type beside a prata shop?
Mrs Lai/ Cherryteq
I love Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl too!
Augleo
Botanic Gardens is Central la, not west enough.
Michelle
I think it’s swan leh.
Wet Wipes
I hardly use them nowadays. Only when we’re out, I use it to clean bb’s hands. Otherwise, I’ll just wash her under the tap.
Teeth
Eh how come your bb’s suddenly got so many teeth ah? Remember Gladys was one of the 1st to have her teeth at 4 mths? Then now only got 8 leh. In fact, she stopped at 8 for a lonnggg time.

Mrs Lai,
thanks for doing the sums. Now I know what price to look out for. Eh, if have sale for wipes, let me know, okay? I'll get my HB to go and buy
Sanrio, Mrs Lai,
thanks for the info. I spoke to hear again and found out that her daughter drinks frequently but not very long. i.e each time only drink foremilk no hindmilk. That could probably be an issue, right? From books...hehe...the hindmilk is the good stuff, no?
Gene,
Ya lor...I find it hard to work for money (not like I very rich lah...just saying). It's not like I earn a lot so will sim-tiah if I don't have that bit. Plus, I don't really have a passion for my old job, in fact it got to a point I was just burnt out...so if I don't go back to that field then I'll have zero experience in anything else. *sigh* I would do volunteer work though and have been thinking of various places. Though HB was asking me when I think I'd start, I said "when the youngest child starts Pri 1". Then he felt better. haha.
For me, the hardest part about be a SAHM is I have no time for myself and my interests and because of that I've "forgotten" who I am/used to be...I can't pick one. haha.
Good lah...you can update us what our babies are supposed to do each month. hehe. I'm at month 14 now.

reading
wish i can find the time to read! i am really quite a bookworm and literature was one of my fav subjects in sch but since i've had C, i can never find the time to sit down with a book. even finding time to sit down with a magazine is quite a challenge!
wipes
i like johnson & johnson wipes leh... thick and wet! i buy them in cartons.
teething
C only started teething in jan this year and she has two teeth below and 4 teeth on top now
jesse, my head office is near tiong bahru so to summarise: there's nice food, near town (so quite convenient) but plenty of old people (there's a funeral @ beo crescent every week on average!)

Cai Cai : Glynnis had a lot of red spots on her legs and some on her hands as well when she went for her 1st pneumo jab. We brought her to see PD and he just gave us some cream. That was when she's about 6 - 7 mths old. But when she took her 2nd jab, she's ok. I am bringing her for her 3rd jab this Sat. Hope she will be ok.
Jesse : When Glynnis was fully on BM, she poo every day. Ever since she started on solid, she may miss a day.

jessemom,
np
if bb is younger n take lots of foremilk, shd in fact poo more. but i suppose if ur frd's bb takes more foremilk, is probably all absorbed or passed out as pee.
jessemom, michele,

jessesmom,
i thought his fever was ok this morning, so i went to work. but he didnt drink and eat much, so in the end i took PM leave to bring him to the pd. found that he actually had a throat infection, so fever was not due to teething. anyway, he's on mc tomorrow, so i'll be at home with him on thurs and fri. hope he'll be able to recover well, cos he has to start school on monday.
sanrio,
it's so like cher to have a doll. so girly! think cher's doll has a very catchy ad. me and my mum had to watch a particular japanese doll ad many many times at robinson's cos kaizer made us stand there to watch with him. dun remember the doll's name, but looks super like the one cher has.

sandwich,
hope Kaizer will get better. Wah...throat infection...hopefully, it's not to difficult for him to eat.
Michele,
Thanks for the review of Tiong Bahru.
Actually my area also have at least one funeral a month and during the hot months or festive period, we get once a fortnight.
sanrio,
ya, she says she pees a lot...
hehe...when he's older, we'll go to the library to get more books.
Some for mummy, some for jesse.
dreamygal,
so good that Glynnis plumbing works well.

Consolidate Naps
Say, any babies/toddlers started to/is starting/has consolidated his/her nap? Usually what age do they start?
Also, any other baby likes to pull off their diaper? Jesse loves to pull off his diapers (clean, fresh ones) and some times I can find him diaper off after his nap....sometimes the find is not pleasant.

PGal
yupz...certainly hope to meet up with the mummies at the picnic if possible.
Jessemom
I stay at redhill...very near to TB...personally I like the location coz it's close to town and my flat is just opposite the MRT. Think Cherryteq can give you her feedback too as she's staying in the area.
Cool_D
Can try buying the chopper at Giant or Sheng Siong...

Cos my HB works at Tanjong Pagar, so he's hoping to move nearer his work lor. Personally, I'm okay with anywhere...like to move around then i'll know the whole island one day. haha.
Your area got funeral once a week or not? hehe... Now I know cannot move to Beo

jessemum , rental will be a killer @ TB . either u buy a flat or u just stay in Sengkang ba . i think for rents -> u are at the mercy of ur landlord , wat if they just decide to sell their hse one day ? then u be stuck ..
moreover , how come u so sure ur hubby wun change job ?wat if change a new environment , not in Tanjong Pagar , then HOW ????
anyway , i also think Tiong Bahru nice place , but very expensive now . last time i heard ( 4yrs back) , 300K+ for a 3 rm flat ( walk up apartment - no lifts type)

Cindy,
I'll honestly say I have no idea what breastpads look like! Anywho... I love CVS and Kirkland, try it when you get the chance. That time I used the "sensitive" ones. I managed to use pampers wipes there as well, cos it came free with the box of pampers I bought. Funny hor...I actually like the pampers there. It's bigger or something...over here we us mummy poko cos the pampers seems "slim-cut" and doesn't really cover-all. haha. Plus, I love all the sesame street pictures (and different size has different pictures/themes) on the diapers. Jesse went up to a size 5/6 so we saw it all. haha. Over here we have some strange pink/blue elephant...huh?

I doubt i will have the chance to try CVS and Kirkland cos my pampers wipes will last me till i m back. won't ship any wipes back (Tho its really so much cheaper here) cos i have too many things already. I love the pampers sesame st designs here esp when cait loves elmo! but somehow, the diaper has some chemical smell! i rather stick to the strange pink/blue elephants! ahahaha! guess i cant have the best of both worlds!
gene
caitlyn started teething at 6mths (quite early too rite?) but now stuck at 7 teeth! 4 on top and 3 below. the 3rd one below only popped up recently! so like gladys...she had 6 teeth for the longest time! even Claire is almost catching up even tho she only started teething in Jan!
Min...
Dun worry abt D's slow growth. He is slow n steady!

Any mummy? We can exchange for local stamps if u want too.
Please email me.
TIA
