SpringD,
Had plenty of errands to run. I got it from M'sia

 

[sanrio]

hi mummies,
tks for concern. tdy af cher gd nap, i slowly clean up her wound n realised is d 'deep' cut tat caused d bleeding. n d cut is very near d gum area so when she opens her mouth or light abrasion, it would bleed. there is a small chip on her top front tooth but phew, d tooth is not shaky. i called up d paed dentist clinic n was told to monitor for 1 more day n c how. so ended up i did not send her to d doctor.

 

[bunniette]

Sanrio: Sayang Cher. hope she feels better soon

Cindy: welcome back

Update on V: first word is NOOOOO and her next word (no idea wat it is) "doug doug" which we tot was dog dog but not sure still. Other than that, she can sign for her pacifier, water, milk, bathing, please, and thank you. She wrinkle nose whe we say chao chao. She seems v slow hor *sigh*

Update on me; Just change job so v busy and v tired. Just gave my maid a scolding for over 1 hour. Hopefully she will be "good" and listen to me.

Kelley,
how you lose weight ah?

 

[springdance]

D
If I have no. 2....I would like to deliver during year end too...not becoz I wanna spread dates (my b'dae is in Dec)...but I think the weather is not so hot for confinement and also, it's the low peak period of work for me...and I won't get so stressed up b4 delivery.


Kelley
U only got 3months of ML rite? I think you must have felt kindda 'lugi' when you hear the new maternity benefits rite...


Cherryteq
Hopefully the mummies got more weekend gatherings in future and both of us can join...

 

[meddy]

Leo,
received liaoz..haha so funny..
will go search for it keke

D,
Kelley is as skinny as a stick ever since i knew her many moons ago...so i guess she can eat anything she wans but still remain as skinny as ever!

 

[jessesmom]

Meddy,
oh...so it's good genes *sigh* You leh? I'm getting obsessed and I'm going to ask every mother I know how they lose the weight! Mine just keeps going UP! You've seen me, so you know my question is legit.

SpringD,
Hehe...good good...so we'll wait for your news beginning next year

But anytime we have also we'll be happy hor...just being choosy only.

 

[caicai]

SD , then u shd hv joined the mooncake festival celebration mah ..

leo ,wat did u send to meddy , jokes huh ?

 

[peanutbutter]

cindy,
welcome home!!!!

min,
bought kaizer for his MMR jab yesterday. he's finally crossed over the 9kg mark, like a D did a while ago. though he's only 9.05kg, i'm eagerly waiting for him to outgrow his clothes. hahaa. he's quite vain, think in a couple of months time, he can go shopping with me and pick his own clothes already.

 

[meddy]

D,
me still quite plump compared to my pre-delivery figure...only try to cut down my carbo but i just can't resist fries!!

Maybe you can try yoga? kekeke

 

[meddy]

Hey Mommies,
just wanna check your kiddos eating habits, brought my kid her pd for jab on Tues and doc says her weight gain of 300gms (over 6 weeks) is not enuff...

She wanted me to give her 3 main meals, 2 snacks and 2 milk a day..

Any idea what kind of (fatty??)snacks and whether 2 milk a day is sufficient?

 

[michellek]

sandwich,
can check with you how you go about to test on Kaizer's allergy ?

 

[jessesmom]

meddy,
I can't do anything that requires me to be away from J...I'm his primary and almost-sole caregiver.

 

[peanutbutter]

d,
interested in babies and mums yoga? gymboree's offering those classes and i'm thinking of signing up for them (or maybe art classes) at the habourfront branch. cos that place is like totally deserted on weekdays - nice!

michelle,
just get your PD to write you a recommendation letter will do (if the test is not available at your current clinic). generic hospitals like KKH should offer these tests. or can consider NUH also. NUH's quite good at these things cos they're trying to develop a niche in childhood asthma and allergies. we're part of the asthama and allergies network. we even have a membership card, hahaa. you want to test Keira for egg white and egg yolk? saw her swollen pic on her blog. you can ask PD to put these two items in the recommendation form first. but once you reach the test lab, you can speak to the technician to top up the number of allergens at extra cost. not very sure how much the tests cost in total cos i use my CSC card and don't make upfront payments.

 

[meddy]

D,
ya maybe you can go for Yoga w/ Sandwich, the harbourfront branch is always empty when i go to the nearby foodcourt for lunch !

Sandwich,
have you check the price out for the Moms & Babes Yoga?

 

[jessesmom]

s/w,
how much and what's the class schedule? I still don't like to drive all the way down there...Haven't been to harbourfront in a long while but I don't like vivo...very noisy. Probably better on weekdays though. See what's the schedule like lor...if I can pick HB up after work, it's always a plus.

 

[jessesmom]

s/w, meddy,
gymboree singapore no website ah? Hard to find info... Meddy, when you free, drop by gymboree during lunch time and find out the info, can?

 

[meddy]

D,
okie, i will go check it out

 

[michellek]

meddy,
my gal is only on 2 solid(lunch/dinner), 3 milk (morning, afternn and nite). she also has yougurt everyday as well.
hapy to say her weight gain = 0

she is 11kg since June until now, yipee stabilise liao !

sandwich,
thks, ok will chk with my paed. see u next week

 

[jessesmom]

Meddy,
if no allergies....peanut butter sandwich! J loves it...and I have a friend who even puts butter on the bread before spreading on the peanut butter! If that's not fattening, I don't know what is...oh, mooncakes. haha Cheese is also very good (unfortunately, J can't take it). Banana is fattening too according to slimming professionals.

J still does 3 milk feeds a day cos he likes to drink it first thing in the morning and we need it to induce sleep for this nap and bed times. If he finishes everything, he takes about 660ml of milk per day. BUT, he doesn't really take any other fluids.

He takes 3 very small meals a day, one snack and 3 milk feeds. His weight hasn't changed in months...he's still about 11.5KG.

 

[springdance]

D
Err...I mentioned 'IF' only....coz like you, I am not too sure if I want to try for no. 2...still thinking...guess me probably not capable to manage 2 kids.


CaiCai
Well...for that gathering, it's another reason that I couldn't make it.

Hey, were you there?


Re: Fatty Snacks for baby
Like Meddy, me interested to know too?? Potato chips?

 

[meddy]

D,
J has nut allergy? My gal takes bread w/kaya or peanut butter + 2 cubes of cheese for Brekkie, a big plate of porridge for lunch and dinner and takes abt 3milk feeds a day..loves bananas but her weight is still a mere 10.28kg!

wahaha mooncakes for toddlers? Good Idea! *Joking*

 

[peanutbutter]

d,
i just called and spoke to the gymboree habourfront mgr to ask abt the classes. i must have read the pamphlet wrongly, sorry for the misinfo, but the mums and babes yoga is only applicable for babies between 0-6mths old. mummies do yoga, and the newborns lie beside mummies. our boys have to register for 18-24 mths yoga fun I classes, where boys do the yoga, and then mummies do the same kiddish actions together with them. i've also enquired abt the music classes, which i thought you might be interested in.
