i also got hte LG mat - i think its very useful for crawling development - some pple just use mattress instead - but u will have cleaning & drying issues lor & mattress abit harder to crawl.
i got my mat like 20th Jan - in 1-2 weeks Vicky already started some climbing moves liao - previous we dont let her go on the floor too cos of dog fur & dust. (now climing all over faints!)
The other drawback is - i prefer it with the fence which is another $119 or so from KP or Chin Cheong (chinatown)- or get 2nd hand lor. Makes more sense with the fence cos babies -as usuall go wondering off everywhere possible!
small small world's prices slightly better than the other BPs i feel but really good service still - cod balance 50% delivery was prompt & the product - good. Since seeing the ones Jen & Ken-ma had at t=our very 1st meeting at Ken-ma's house i already liked it. tot it was very costly but i saw mini toons one -i tot - gosh if i didnt join this forum i will be wasting $ on the that one liao.
my 2 nieces come often & all of us will go into the mat & fence - i got 1.5 sets of the fence set up & 3 kids & 1 adults can be in there sitting , wo fence i can sit & latch & let baby play around me while me & my MIL watch her while sitting on mat & watching tv.

caitlyn, i am still in school and will be here for quite a while. maybe go in the evening.
yes bringing Gabriel out......
i've been bringing him out on my own.
irene, i need to stock up on wipes, teats, small towels, breast pads and from robinsons, i need to buy some household items.
i am thinking of gg IT fair but i think it'd be crazy trying to bring a bb there sure very crowded.
sweet/caitlyn yes confirmed tt the chinese name is printed straight on BC. my fren asked me to print for her then after delivery in dec 2007, she said she didn't need to use what i printed for her.
btw, Gabriel's chinese name has "en" in it too.

tano,
can consider panasonic lumix (tt's the one i am using now) or canon.....sony cybershot also has pretty gd stablising effect i think...only thing is sony u can only use their sony memory sticks.
caitlyn, yeah if i preggie i think i also no energy to handle Gabriel alone!
yes en very common word for children of our generation.
for me , en means God's grace.
and also because Gabriel's only cousin also has 'en' in the name so we intend to use it as the word to use in all the names for babies in hb's family.

db, it's a storewide sale for cardmembers. alot of items have additional 15% or 20% on top of sale prices
lin: i hav a sony one nw. hate e fact that it has to use it's own memory stick, not common ones. like that u hav e tendency to be forever stuck w this brand! thinking of buying a canon one. but duno which model. that time when i bought sony, i was considering bet sony & canon too.
then afterwhich realised, i shld hav got a canon instead of sony. heartache! so nw i am v scare of getting e wrong brand/model...
having a "en" in e name is nice. mayb to many christians it means kinda God's gift to u & e thankfulness that comes w it...
sweet: this sun i wonder where i wan to go w Leting ALONE. while hb go IT fair.

sweet, i bring Gabriel down to walk ard pool every evening before his dinner. then after tt, after i clean my hb's surgical wounds and administer the eye drops....if i still have energy and no more marking, i will go down to Tampines Mall and bring him window shop, sometimes we go to neighbourhood organic store to stock up on his fruits/foods.
I dun use stroller nor carrier. I just carry him and carry a messenger bag with his stuffs or sling a shoulder bag. If i need help with getting items off shelves at supermarket, i ask stranger to help.
but i dun do bulk supermarketting unless maid comes along.
Other times, i head to my frens houses and disturb them and their babies hahaha. the kids can play while the mummies gossip.

sweet,
i used to sling Xavier when I bring him out on my own, now i very hesitant to sling him coz of his weight and also he's very fidgety.... so the stroller is a compulsory wherever I go with him now.
leobaby,
that's great! so when will you be going for your photoshoot? I shd be going in mid-May.

qiuling, tis yr, iras intro e no need to file tax return if there's no change to ur status as wat u had submitted last yr. but got change... last yr, u not a mummy yet, so not entitled to claim child's relief, working mum's relief & grandparents caregiver relief, so u still need to file tax return tis yr, else u lugi as e reliefs claim for tis yr tax assessment will be based on last yr if u dun file tax return. then nxt yr, u hv to file again cos u'll be having a 2nd kid tis yr. remember, any change to ur claim reliefs status, u need to file as they dun auto give u.
powermama, happy birthday to u!
sweet, whether can claim both maid levy & grandparents caregiver relief, u better check up on iras website. i dunno cos i dun hv maid. not sure if teacher april will still be teaching crawler 2, fr wat i understand is her current class on sat is full & tha class will be promoted to walker 1, which is not for us. i stuck now cos e current teacher poh cheng's crawler 2 class is fr 12.30-1.30 which is jake's lunch time, so it's out.
pooh, all e best to ely! u take care.
elaine, insurance rebate got conditions de, if cpf contribution >$5k, can't claim.
mich, u consider having #3? i agree w u, if ILs not helping, they better dun say so much. tha time, my FIL asked us quickly hv a kid while they r still fit to help take care, then when hv jake liao, reject looking aft him, so if they ask me to quickly hv another one, i'll give them a nasty look & will tell hb to tell them not to interfere since they reject to help out.
ladies, to find out more abt e various reliefs, u can refer to http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page.aspx?id=172.
