Ivy: Yah lor! Need to be careful...I'm not organising real large scale spree, just offering to a few friends, so best to avoid misunderstanding mah...
Nining..Ike looks so cute!!! Mthais has a santa suit waiting to be worn on christmas day but I didnt get the hat cos it was too small for his head...where did u get yours from?
I have been super bz at work n once I get home i take over taking care of Mathias..so no time to log in..I hope now that thgs r startg to settle in my ofc I'll be able to log in more often again
Rc_cola,
Sayang sayang...well, sometimes husbands are just like that lah..what to do? We chose to marry them..haha!! I hope everything will be alright b4 he goes for his course..My husband is ok..he's helpful but I have to tell him exactly what needs to be done then he'll do..like I have to tell him to wash my pump, then he'll wash etc...

Last week I had MAJOR MIL probs..My MIL bot napkins for Mathias from JB..plain white ones..(Mathias actually uses colourful printed napkins) so when she told me she bought white ones cos they were on offer etc. I told her she shouldnt have bot cos I already told her b4 I dun want to buy the plain ones for him.then she went on saying napkins are napkins.the pictures dun make a diff..I told her it make a diff cos I find the white ones boring and not nice...after that I just stop the topic she also kept quiet.
But suddenly in the evening when I was on the way home, my hubby called me asking me why I was so rude to my mom and that she was at home crying..I was shocked cos I didnt thk anything of it...and he went on saying that my MIL says that there have been many incidents that she always ended up crying in her room cos of things I say to her..my goodness!! Can you imagine if I really told her 100% all the things I didnt like about her?? Then how? In the end I went home raging mad and started screaming at my Hubby and her and sad to say, alot of vulgarities came out straight to my MIL's face...
I was irritated cos she told my hubby that Im very lucky to have a MIL like her that help me look after my kid, that she treats me so well..I'm like hello? U think your the only grandma taking cr of your grandchild at home huh? And the best part is that she told my hubby that I didnt say bye to her when I left home for work after she told me abt the napkins..Was I talking to a ghost when I left? I even told her that I wont be locking the gate etc..
then anyway in between the argument my Hubby asked my MIL to go into the room while he talk to me the in the living room..and i just blurt out almost everything (at least whatever I could thk of at that time) that I have not been happy abt in the past 3 months so that she can hear from inside the room..n i actually packed my bags wanting to leave my house then my hubby called my father down...
Then in front of my father she want to come and hug me and tell me that its ok, I dun have to say sori and that she can say sori instead (wah lau! I force her huh?) so in the past week, we only talk when necessary..I go home, takeover duty from her..she go sleep..then Sat mrng 6am she disappeared then I heard frm my HB that she went to stay at her Daughter's plc for the weekend and only coming back on Mon morning..(which was a relief cos I didnt really want to have to be stuck at home seeing her for 2 days.
THen now, she say that next week she wanna go KL for 1 week and in march she wanna go Australia for 1 month..Win already...
Now im contemplating infantcare cos I really dun want her to take care of Mathias anymore..but I dunno if infant care is safe. my hubby suggested getting a maid but Im also worried abt having a maid..but I did tell my hubby that if having a maid meant that he's gonna ask his mom to leave the house, I'll consider but he say he cant ask his mom to leave now that she's staying w us already (she was previously staying w her daughter who's a SAHM).SO now..Im troubled..
WOrst thing is that since the argument my left breast has been giving me problems...already supply drop since starting work, now i can feel big lumps in my left breast and when I pinch my nipple there are only 1-2 sprays of milk instead of a few that I normally would have...how? I massage also like that, let my son suck and suck also like that..but its not pain..its just blocked...

Ivy, Woof: Hopefully, my neighbour is okay. Ive seen them watering their ladies fingers in the garden, but never actually talked to themits just a hi-bye sort of thing
Adeline: I live in a house, and every house has its own postal code. Unfortunately, since SingPost changed to the 6 digit postal system, all mail to houses are sorted by postal code and not by house number and street. I sometimes receive mail meant for other houses on different streets in my estate, but with my postal code. Sometimes, I wonder if I should just become a part-time postman if I ever choose to be a SAHM : P
Luckily Singpost allows one to check address using postal code on-line, otherwise no way of knowing which house it was sent to. Angeline sent my parcel to another house across from mine : (
Pooh_astro: Babies are soooo adorable when they suck their thumbs : )
Jete: Yes : ) Ure just 6 months ahead of me .I was really tempted to ask my friend or IL to bring me the babylegs from Amazon.com or Target, but I will try to resistwill just wait for the next good sale : ) In 2001, I helped plan my friends wedding in France, then flew over just 2 days before the wedding to be her mc : )
Nining: Ike is really adorable!
Muddypie: Glad to know that you and family are fine despite the accident.

Mel: So sorry to hear of your MIL problemsHope its solved soon. Living with ILs is really really tough. One thing Ive learnt when dealing with family members is to just thank them nicely for the things they give me. Whether I choose to use the things or not is another matter, but I find its really not worth the trouble of making them unhappy when they mean well.
Im putting my baby in infantcare that is run by a former NICU nurse and has a ratio of 2 babies to 1 caretaker. Caretakers are all nurses or have at least a diploma in early childhood. Choose a good infantcare with a low baby-caretaker ratio and suitably qualified professionals. Pay a bit more for some peace of mind.
An_gal: Thanks. Thats what I intend to do. Speak to some other family member in that household tonight. Sigh! I really hope I get my pursebrites otherwise I wont have Christmas presents to give away : (
Cin: Youre welcome : ) Is Fei Siong Restaurant on Jln Seh Chuan, near the Korean shop, Chinese Temple, and Minds Jurong Gardens School? If it is, then yes, my house is nearby. Its on the road directly parallel to Chun Tin Road, which in turn is perpendicular to Jln Seh Chuan.10 years of marriage how time passes, it really doesnt feel like 10 years lehlike every couple, weve had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we know that we love each other and are committed to this marriage, so I think I made the right choice in marrying him : )

another thing is i read that before 6 months, better to steam fruits like apple, pear then puree them. cos this way the fibre is easier for baby to digest. still it's up to u. so far, i haven't let him try fruits yet, except banana (no need to steam, can be pureed easily)
will introduce fruits later, vege comes first.

xman,
i think most men need lotsa reminders and "training", including mine
with time and patience, i believe they will SLOWLY change their mode and attitude.
sometimes, can try to be "manja" (in mandarin is sa3 jiao1) to him so he will remember to sayang you like in the past cos their memories need to be refreshed every now and then

Adeline: Thanks. I hope so too. In this case, I asked Angeline several times via sms the price for registered post, but she never responded. Then she sent out my package after I asked her on the thread the price for registered post. Seems that she's really too busy, 'coz this is a massive BP and she hasn't answered my queries yet. Since its really her mistake, I may ask for a refund if I don't get my parcel, 'coz its $80 down the drain otherwise...

Xman, Adeline, Bliss, Bundle of Joy,
Thank you all for the concern. Just want to vent my stress... luckily got this forum to share.
A lot of us are in the same shoes. Think majority of men need constant reminder rite? I always ask hubby nicely if i want his help.
But sometimes MIL will give comments like:
If i ask hubby help me to rinse my washed pump with hot water, she will said "Aiyoh, just now y not u rinse yourself since u washed them urself?"
It is not that I dun want to rinse. I just hope that hubby help me rinse, then I can do other things mah... it is not that i sat down relaxing nothing to do but still dun want to wash..
I think his mum loves him a lot, dun want to see him do houseworks, if i ask hubby washes dishes, she will volunteer herself and wash. If I am the one who wash, she didn't say anything ler.. I mean, ok i dun mind doing housework coz mil also tired all day long taking care of baby. But isn't it obvious that she is so siding his son..
Bundle of Joy,
you are lucky, your hubby is a proactive one. It is rare hehehe lucky you.
Dear mummies,
Thanks for listening to me.
Guess I feel better now.
Leooh,
Our baby legs were mailed out yesterday. Looking forward to receiving them and can put on my bb hehehe.
An_gal,
I think will also let my girl wear when going out to aircon place

It is not that I dun want to rinse. I just hope that hubby help me rinse, then I can do other things mah... it is not that i sat down relaxing nothing to do but still dun want to wash..
I think his mum loves him a lot, dun want to see him do houseworks, if i ask hubby washes dishes, she will volunteer herself and wash. If I am the one who wash, she didn't say anything ler.. I mean, ok i dun mind doing housework coz mil also tired all day long taking care of baby. But isn't it obvious that she is so siding his son..
Bundle of Joy,
you are lucky, your hubby is a proactive one. It is rare hehehe lucky you.
Dear mummies,
Thanks for listening to me.
Guess I feel better now.
Leooh,

An_gal,

hi mel
so sorry to hear abt your mil problem. u staying with her? its always not easy to stay with mil. i have my fair share of minor issues with her. it really needs alot of patience. we have to be careful when dealing with them cause they are going through menopause n can be extra sensitve. mine is like this.
just to share with u n hope u will feel better. when i was in my 2nd trimster, my helper went back to her country for a holiday for 2 weeks. my hb and i got to share housework. as i was pregnant, i was very tired after work everyday. so my hb was the one who did the dishes everyday while i "nua" infront of the tv. guess what, my mil was sooo heartpain that my hb got to do hsework. she cried to her sister (my hb's auntie) via telephone n complained abt me. her aunt (quite a nice auntie), called me up at work the next day to tell me abt the incident. wow!! i was mad n hurt then. i was thking why is she so sensitive n all the negative thoughts came to my mind. i mean, hello... i was pregnant!! whats wrong in getting hb to do some hsework?? why must she complain to outsiders abt me?
i was damn bey song but i chose not to confront her cos u see i am staying with her. dun want have awkward situations. our mothers n mother in laws r diff. mothers r more forgiving to us.
not sure abt your religion, i am a christian. that night when i was doing my quiet time, the passage " honour your parents" came twice infront of me. so i tell myself be obedient n till now, my r/s with her is still good n i thank God for that. cos its really not easy to live with a menopausal woman. when things get bad, i just thk of her good pts. so just "ren". if things gets bad, come here n vent. : )

an gal,
jus tried giving him 120ml and he finished 3/4 of it. my fm has a guide to give 60ml, 120ml, 180 ml etc... havo to try and next feeding.
xman,
i guess its a blessing that i got a good hubby. if like any other man i think i sure die. I think so men just lack in common sense. need to keep drilling into their heads over and over again.

Angeline,
i find the size of the spoon okie. just right for his small mouth
my boy eats quite fast leh (cold already will still eat) but it is true the rice turns cold pretty quick.
i only give him 1 tsp of rice cereal
if u want ur boy to learn how to eat solid, better to feed with spoon than incorporate into his bottle.
APPLE PUREE:
just steam cut apple for 15 mins, then puree with a blender. Voila! puree is ready.
