aria,
hernia for guys is near the 'private' part. it happened to my father and bro. but that's due weakening of the muscle. they had to remove it else it'll cause further complications.

 

[gingerleaf]

I studied graphics there.. ..14 years ago. When the campus was at short street.

Eh, u can have ur own line. Start out a online biz 1st.. then slowly open shop!

gingerleaf and aria, u both NAFA alumni? my hubby too leh...really pei fu u leh aria jo. 4 years is such a long time, and u were preggy too! why dun wanna go into that line, since u invested so much effort into learning the skills?

[gingerleaf]

dodo,
lyn been using 1st teeth since she started on brushing. Now on her 2nd tube liao. No nid to rinse off!

Chintz,
so sudden! How chloe gets well soon!

 

[perseus]

Hi all, thanks for concern

He has flu on and off and have some phlegm. Suddenly yesterday when i went home, he is like wheezing badly. This morning, even when he called mummy, must take 2 deep breath to call. So immediately go to the doc. Diagnose with infection of airway and of course the flu.
Now he is better but still breathing abit harder.

Hope little chloe gets well soon. It sounds like the weather really bad.

dodo, so you will be back to sg for delivery right? If i didn't remember correctly, your EDD in May or June izzit?

Age is catching up that cause me to be forgetful

 

[totoro_bb]

finally scanned throught the previous post!

Hippo
How's your new job?

Gingerleaf
Nice photo of Lyn with the sunglasses. Mine will never let me put anything on her. She only want to snatch my glasses! hiaz.

Regarding ice-cream, my girl also eating almost everything liao and now she is almost a fast food queen!! Hiaz only have ourselves to blame!

junnie
Hope the results will be good for both of them!

aria
4 years course! Wow, really good stamina manz. I am like Dodo, wanna get the childhood course but did not do anything. Now worst still, they change the course fee and course duration so even harder to think about it! hiaz

Tiffy
I like the photo. Sherry is so sweet. But i doubt my girl will let me wear that hat for her!

Regarding teeth, she has her molars out as well. I think 2 top and 2 bottom. the rest of the tooth infront are almost complete.

Doobom
Where is your new workplace? still in town?

ecookie
yz so smart to leave the hat on when he's under the sun!

Jas
Kelly still with neurotree. She understands more things now but unfortunately always very mobile. After 45mins, she will start pointing to the door and getting out of her chair!! I can see that she is kind of bored at home liao so also looking for other activites for her.

Hope Chloe, Raphael and anders gets well soon. For cough, if it persist, can try the Hou Ning. It works wonder for Kelly the last time after she finishes all the western medicine and still coughing!

bbwow
hope the lump is nothing serious. Kelly just got her MMR as well. today, I realized she is a bit feverish when she come and pick me. But after awhile, she is ok so I'm still monitoring.

 

[junniezz]

perlicia, bbwow... hope r recovers fast & j's little lump disappear soon....

gingerleaf.... really LOL....2 smaller one on top???? jovial... hi*5..me too hv the 'yi da li' so 'cho theng'!!!!

ariajo.. u v hardworking leh.... tink knw how to sew is an asset... 4ever useful be it domestic/commerically. my brain 'rusty' liao + no extra 'energy'/time/$$ to tk up any courses...may b hv 2 wait 4 my 2 little rascals get older (duno by then i'll bcom snr citizen liao or nt... hahaha)...

re chk-up today :
zann - urine test/kidney ultrasound - all v good... convert to chk half-yearly till end tis yr, nxt year onwards chk yearly... prof still dun wana discharge her yet may b need a dmsa when she gets older to see status of her scar on her kidney... (lucky her wt increases, now 15.5kg, though nt v tall 103.5 nia).
bb lance - urine:good,ultrasound: left kidney much smaller than right compared to normal kid.. cud b due to inborn.. surgeon said basically his right kidney is functioning most of time rather than left side may be functioning 35%!! nothing to alarm but must prevent him fm nxt uti or high blood pressure?? (something new to us)... ie, to watch out his diet - prevent obsesity which likely causes high blood pressure (gv burden to his kidney). surgeon discharge him givng open date appt (at least a good news to us)... uti prof said he's overall ok, still need to tk antibiotics to prevent uti (every nite once) till may be 5yrs old, still hv to chk every 4mth..if everything goes smoothly, can skip mcu test @ 3yrs old (heng arh).. i thot he'll b over 13kg... to my surprise, oni 12.2kg, grow a little taller - 79cm. he has an appt tis april to see cardiac (cos last year chkd got heart murmur).. hopefully the tiny hole is gone by then.

 

[junniezz]

totoro.. thks. how abt urself? did u go see gynae again? wow..seems kelly got lotsa teeth liao - can chew well alr? can imagine she being v mobile...haha.. mine also like to snatch my glasses, so irritating!!

 

[totoro_bb]

Hi Junnie
went to my gynae liao. same size as the last time but he discovered new poly cysts or something on the right now! hiaz ... another 3 months got to go for review!

 

[junniezz]

totoro.. oic..tk gynae's advice... fast fast get it treated easier too if planning for no.2. dun worry much.... u also nt enuff rest i tink cos of ur hectic schedule... take care ya.. good nite =)

 

[chintz]

Morning mummies!

thanks for the concern, chloe is slightly better (in term of feverish), but coughing with phlegm still. will make the almond drink for her this weekend.

noticed she's been very clingy and naughty too. sometimes reject milk and meal, but luckily she's drinking a lot of water. and oH, i think her molars sprouted too. can only view them when she was shouting/crying! not sure how many teeth she has in total now..

dodo, like gingerleaf, i also use 1st teeth toothpaste on her. but not everyday though, i tend to 'forget'

perlicia, poor raphael. hope he gets well soon okie?

ponponta, how's anders doing?

junniez, glad to hear about their good reviews. take care super mummy!

totoro, you take care too! and as for kelly, try to cut down the junk on her. i also gave chloe lotsa junk and i highly reckon this time she fell ill cos of too much junk

 

[ecookie]

morning mummies!!

junnie: good to hear that the review is good for Z. for bb lance, just continue the course of antibiotics and im sure all will be well with him.

perlicia: poor R, airway infection can be very uncomfy for him. let him drink more warm water n perhaps rub vicks on his chest. heard that rubbing vicks on soles n then letting them wear socks to sleep will make the coughing better at night. you want to try that?

totoro_bb: yah better faster treat the cysts if planning for #2. and try to take some breaks from your hectic lifestyle from time to time. it will be good for your health!

 

[ecookie]

dodo: zq so smart, know how to be a copycat. i read that by coying, babies learn things the fastest!

zq indeed a clever boy!

gingerleaf/aria: yes leh, i tot my hb got abit mixed looks and abit attracted to him when i 1st knew him cos i closeted SPG mah. then later pple start commenting he looks like half malay/thai. then i super duper sianz. LOL

chintz: think chloe is reejcting food due to teething isit? hopefully just a phase and her appetite will return soon. but the notti part may stay longer lor. heh. yz also getting very notti nowadays. like marching towards his terrible twos! always testing our limits and ignoring our "nos" .

 

[ecookie]

dodo: yz's teeth also like abit yellowish. somemore this lazy mum only brush his teeth once a day when i remembers lor! so he brushes his teeth like 3 times a week max. dirty like the mummy...

 

[ecookie]

childcare: yest popped by cherie heart branch near my mum's place to understand more abt their prog. hb n me like wat we saw but my parents kept on telling me to delay putting yz in cc. even my hb said so.

but i really cant take my MIL coming to our hse to help to take care. sigh. told my mum yz will go for 2/3 full days and the rest of time will be at her hse.
then she kept on saying over there the teachers dun really care if they finish their food, take their nap and will scold him if he notti one. said till i very sad. hb also asked is it really this case? n i said most children doing well in cc, so yz shld be ok. now i also very vexed. like im the baddie who want to push my son to a bad place.

 

[hippo18]

morning!

dodo, adri does that too! and she'll "feed" me from the magazine when there are pics of food in it.. ha! and she'll nod when i ask her if the food is nice.. and she'll "feed" any1 who's ready to be fed too.. hahaha... so cute to see her doing dat.. like i'm her daughter instead.. keke..
i miss ZQ! hvnt got the time to go thru all ur blogs..

totoro, am fine! thanks.. quite different culture here though so am trying to be more "guai" 1st lor.. how's kelly been? n urself? still very very busy ya? hope ur review will be ok too!

junnie, glad everything's fine for the kids!! =P

chloe & ponponta, hope the little ones are much much better & recover soon! sorie i only could scroll thru the posts very quickly so didnt catch dat they were sick... hugz ya..

jas, adri still in gymboree... she's abit bored in dat level so the teacher suggested that she moves on to the next so i hope the activities are more suited for her! she's still enjoying herself so far!

ecookie, dun tink of it dat way.. u r not a bad mother la silly.. u just wanted a way out of the mil care.. (which wasn't good in ur eyes ma.. and u knew u can choose better..) so u tot of the CC lor.. i dun tink itz bad.. just dat they definitely wun be treated as "precious" as ur own family la.. cos got other children ma.. guess datz y ur mum feels dat way.. dun be sad okie? i'm sure ur decision will work out fine!

 

[tiffanykoong]

chintz,
yah, better cut down on junk food for chloe. but if she greedy for junk food, make sure she also drink lots of water and barley water lor.

totoro,
hope alll is well for u. do take care.
