Somehow we managed to find FIL help and that worked previously, now with 2 kiddos, another arrangement and planning have to be made.. Talk to you hubby and the person who you want them to help out and then plan the strategy. Hope this helps!

ZhuZhu,
Well, what I'm gg to post next may be harsh and may not be wht comfortable for your ears but bear with me for my frank opinion.
Actually you should have discussed and talked to your brother prior to the birth of your nephew to work out the best arrangment cos your mum was already taking care of your dd then.
You may want to consider speaking to your mum and brother together at the same time if maid is really out of option? Like what other suggested if the issues is on the cost, try forking out the money all by yourself? However I do not agree that the maid shall look after your bb and full stop.
Yes, your bro have shown unkind act to you in your time of need but every man for himself. At least that is the cruel reality the world works that we have no choice but to admit. However you need not repay him with it. It will only shows that you are being calculative and tt would be the least your mum wants to see. What most it will also make you constantly want to spot check if bb is helping out with nephew. It is not good for children to grow up in this kind of environment tt what is mine is soley mine only. (I believe in you reap what you sow, 以得报怨)
Seriously have you spoken to your MIL with this before or you are not even considering her an as option to help? Do find a time, sit down with your dh and on a piece of paper writing down all your option, togther withthe pros and the cons before coming to a decision.
Ask your MIL is she willing to give up her pay and look after her grandchild? If she said no, then you know you can straight away cross her out as an option but if she is willing then you can consider listing her as your help.
Yes, I know it will be hard to trust someone who has never taken care of children before but was she given a chance in the 1st place? If she was denied of a chance in the 1st place then dun expect her to know everything abt caring and looking after newborn. (give her the benefit of doubt)
If she is ok with it, try discussing with her that she learn from your CL during your confinment and you will be there to help for at least 3 months (assuming you are clearing 3 months of ML) You can consider giving her a token (maybe $300??)whereas you will bear the expenses of bb's need such as diaper, medical fee, bb's food etc?? You can even consider getting a maid and leaving Tricia there as well and you pick up the kiddos after work or even have dinner at her place???
She may not be good in taking care of kids but at least you know that her love for her grandchildren are geniue
and they will never be mistreated.
If all the options are out then you know your next step is nanny or ifc. At least you narrow down which direction you need to head to next.
It is natural that being preggy and thrown off guard of what is expected do make a woman much more vulnerable and teary. But do not take everything upon yourself. Involve your dh in all discussion and decision making. Sometime you will be surprise he actually give you more encouragement than expected.
I dun really agree with some (sorry hor Choco, dun mean to go against your idea *Snnowy give you a big smile
) that you still have 5 months to go and think cos I know that so long a decision/solution is not finalised you will be constantly worrying and getting upset. *That is maternal instinct*

My boy is spoilt by the nanny liao. She wanted to buy a 100 over bucks of battery operated car for Ivan. Ivan already has 1 walker-car (hand down)and she bought him a tricycle last yr. She said those selling at Kiddy Palace one not nice, asked me where can get a nicer one.....they doted him so much, better than the parents and grandparents..
Loh
Yes, still drinking coffee everyday of my life whether pregnant or bfg haha.. so far no detrimental effect on both my kids hehe
EBM can be put on room temperature for 4 hours
Oh ppl said after drinking must throw within 1 hour, for mine, if he cant finish we quickly put back into the fridge, and feed him again in 2 hours time (he is on 2 hourly 100ml feeding)..
Re: insurance
We dun buy any study insurance for both, but we save up for them..

cola, an_gal, Glee,
I also feel that study insurance is not a must, they always can loan fr bank if the parents broke in the future. All the guaranteed $$ might not be a big amout in 18yrs later. We feel stress of this AIA friend, coz he get nothing from us everytime of visiting

Yah, I agree, as long as u save up (open a bank account so that money wont scatter everywhere = spent and u can see numbers after saving for sometimes), then should be okay..
As for insurance, it’s better to buy for ourselves, and put the name of our other half as beneficiary, just in case… dunno if hubby and I got buy or not hahahaha.. coz these insurance thingies are arranged by my hubby..
But I think hospitalization insurance should be purchased..

Loh,
hahaha u so funny feel stress kena visit by a friend he tries to sell huh?
I think for study insurance, we do it not cos of far future if we broke, but more like if I and hubby cannot make it long enough to ensure Ike got enough education (before 18 years old) then the insurance can help finance his studies. Of course it's almost like life insurance, except with study insurance, you get the insurance co pays for the study expenses you / your kids choose to take should there's misfortunate happening to us as parents.
Hospitalization insruance depends . if your company pays for you and family fully, then no worries no need extra. you just get it when u move to a company without such coverage.
Now as PR in Spore, hubby and I are concerned for Ike's future in case we both goner when Ike still under age, we need to appoint a guardian for him in Spore. I dont think his gramma and uncle in the US can take care of him till he's 18 yo, my sis will be his guardian but she is residing in Jakarta.. so I am thinking of appointing Spore guardian which is my best friend, and do it legally so if anything happen to us, Ike won't get deported.
loh/Cola,
Preggie and breasfeeding moms can take coffee up to 3 cups aday if am not wrong, or max 6 cans of coke.. of course the lesser the better..

I did buy life, savings and hosp insurance for myself and Melcolm. I think insurance thing is very individual, most impt, you must feel comfortable with your agent and not be stress.
