Glee: Yes I agree cos they are so young and they are so curious of everything. Tricia has a tendency to wanna play with any kid she sees.. overly warm I think. hahahha
RE: gpa
My dad does a good job with Tricia not as in well-being but the playing part and training her motor skills plus speech and learning. He is tricia's fav person. When she is home she will ask for gpa.. gong-gong?? when she goes my mum's place and when my dad is not in she will go: gong-gong leh???

cola: am so shocked to hear what your FIL did, i thot all along he is very 'ci xiang'. Could something else triggered his anger and vent it on your girl? Best is ask your hubby to find a chance to talk to him lor. I think your girl also very confused, 1 hand you all potty train her, on the other hand she's confused how come still need to wear diaper, dunno where to pee.
xman
doubt that will ever be the case. the younger siblings will never fill up all the spots. in popular year (worst case scenario) only during the parents who are old boys/girls phase then the space all taken up.

the new mcd is at the swimming pool/community club.

Now I can only "ren" til i deliver n MIL comes, after that i really really really must just stay at home and just take care of kids..
Ya i guess she will also confuse regarding the potty trained.. but i have told fil many times that her pee area red red.. and sometimes have rashes.. maybe not used to wearing diapers already by now.. but yet he is the sole caregiver.. so?!?!?! *i cant say anything*
Xman
Ya tts y i never do any OT, no outing with colleagues or frens, etc.. just want to stay at home and spend time with Meg whenever i am not working..

btw, i cant reply ur email cos opic blocked the site.. i don need to order anything thks.. i downgrade to use cheaper wipes for melcolm already, like kodomo, pureen rc_cola,
"Ren" lo, wat to do as he is the caregiver, say too much may lead to further conflicts and argument..
for me, usually i will use soft approach, like treating the nanny better, eg buying her cakes and giving her vouchers etc, thou i cannot be sure that she will in turn treat my gal better but she probably will treat my gal worse if i were to reprimand or question her when my gal has bruises..
usually i will tell her that i hrd on the news or from someone that some child was beaten or knocked his head or etc etc so better watch out for eg the windows, the doors, mosquitoes, strings, plastic bags..many many
haha now u reali know how paranoid i m

i see, it's quite far from me anyway, I'm trying to find one around my house area but so far no clue yet, like Glee I prefer through friend recommendation but not by agent. but if really no choice then hv to go through agent and do a proper interview with the nanny.

Hey mummies,
For sometime my boy refused his porridge. Then since now i am back, I thought want to try porridge again. But this time i added indian spice powders. And he loved it. I did not have to blend this food also.
Hope I succeed this new attempt.

Xman, Loh,
I use patapum but I bought Ergo too and Mel bought it over from me.. I saw both are exactly same function and same weight distribution. I chose patapum over ergo cos that is the one I opened earlier hahaha so the ergo could still have good new resale value than if I opened the box.. If given both choices, I may still choose patapum over ergo, cos I just simply like the streamlined design compared to ergo, plus patapum has 2 sizes, baby carrier and toddler carrier.. I use the toddler carrier since Ike was 6 months old, I used it again last night after 3 months never carried Ike long distance, phew!! very exhausted, he is now 12 Kg leeeh. Ergo and patapum baby carrier can use since newborn.

not sure if ur kiddos can still be comfy in the bassinett? remember that for SQ the bassinett seat is front row seat / bulk head seat, which means all the arm rests are fixed, not the one you can lift up to the side and make space.. If you want the child to be able to lie between your lap and hubby's (providing u buy them a seat) then having the front seat will make this not possible..If you're flying SQ, sitting on front sit also mean your TV screen and table are the foldable one, not very convenient if u wanna move in out to change diapers etc..

Cola,
I am guessing your FIL forgeting he's not the parents, prolly cos he feels that he is in charge of taking care of Meg when u and hubby are working.. SOme grandparents who takes care of the grandchildren (not just play with them) are like this, they act like parents but in their old ways.. so this is often when the problem arise.. maybe best if u can start sending Meg to playgroup, then FIL can have his 2 hrs break daily and they both can enjoy..

parents with bubs are priority so u can call them and ask , if u take SQ can do city office (paragon) check in 48 hrs in advance too.. THis will ensure u get the seats u want..
Glee,
if flying to Jakarta with Ike on the lap, I'd prefer to take front row cos got leg room for us. I havent experienced long flight with him on lap so cannot comment much, but I'd think I prefer front row if he is on lap, cos both me and hubby big ones, no matter how 2 seats cannot squeeze Ike in between us even if the arm rest is lifted up hahahaha.. But if u and hubby are slim, perhaps best take normal seat, lift up the arm rest and u got seating space for charlize.. besides I actually dont like the hassle of folded tray and TV screen for the front seat..specially if normal seat already give u enough leg room..

Ivan's 2 lower molars are growing. He will fuss in the middle of night. He slept on me for comfort last night and my hb said 'so sweet, he wants to hug u to sleep'...faint.
So so so sleepy today. Ivan will sleep at the nanny there tonight cos the nanny daughters having school holidays and they give me holiday too for tonight. hehe

my com cost saving, last time we can keep our anual leave for max 2 years, but now can only keep for max 1 year, I'v got more than 20 days leaves to clear by end of this year.may just use it after maternity leave, so I can stay at home for about 5 months after give birth.
nining,
thanks for the advice..
i have already secured the row 31 bassinet seats, which are supposed to give more leg room, and at first i thought she can sit on my lap and bassinet jus an extra "gadget" for her but now having second thoughts as the arm rest cannot be lifted.. but luckily my parents are coming too, so in case the arm rests are reali restrictive then i will swop with them
