so far i have not experience such thing yet or may be i got use to her crying/flip flopping in the middle of the night around and asking for milk? i don't know she sure will cry in her sleep and whine a bit almost every night. I will called out her name and calm her down and pat her to sleep. sometimes, she will clearly ask for milk and will not go back to sleep till hubby make her milk. after milk, she will go back to sleep.

yesterday aria was very sweet. i was in my undergarment preparing to go to shower and she upon seeing my expose tummy, quickly and excitedly ran to me and kissed my tummy and said meimei..haha..i really hope she will stay like this throughout..

[tiffany_seah]

Dooboom/ Eccokies,
We shall do lunch early Aug. Doobom, just buzz...

Happififi
You are so hardworking! Nice art work.

Chintz,
Is Chloe unwell? Noticed that when the kids are unwell, they tend not to sleep well. Andrea had been making some noise on and off in the middle of night recently due to her extreme sensitivity of her nose, making my sleep interrupted. Have not been sleeping well lately too, Lucas and Andrea will take turn to whine. I think its a phase.

Lucas will also request for Milk in middle of night. Last night he asked for milk at 315am, made for him and gone back to sleep, when I woke up at 615 to make milk for Andrea, found that Lucas milk never drink at all! haiz... he has this bad habit!!!
For Andrea, I never made milk in the middle for her, so, I guess she dont have this bad habit like his korkor.

Do take care. I couldnt sleep well previously when I was heavily pregnant witn Andrea, I think could be hormone playing tricks. Not to scare you, remember I took few months break not working end of last year? Reason was every night I had disturbed sleeo that I couldnt tahan, feeling so tired at work, thats why I quit to rest and recuperate. You need to rest well Okie....

 

[tiffany_seah]

hippo
hhaha.. you are making me laugh so loud! Adri so cute! Next time I see your hb, I will ask him, where is your Monster?? kekekkekkeke

 

[ecookie]

hippo: hahah u reminded me of something funny too! ive always teach yz that armpits = ee ee.
so once hb topless n resting then exposed his armpit so i told yz that is ee ee mao and laughed my head off over my own clever joke.
then yz came n make me raise my armpit, then i hao liao said i got no ee ee mao! but hor, he went to touch n feel the stubbles (oops) and said mammee you ee ee mao! feel like dying, then had to avoid talking abt ee ee mao in case he bao toh me in public! ha

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
hahaha...that is so funny! must be damn embarassing for your HB and bro??hahah..

 

[hippo18]

tiffany, lucas asked for milk at 315 then andrea at 6+! omg... u must be soooo tired leh!!
hahaha! go ahead and ask him! he'll know wat u are referring to le.. hahaha.. cos everytime he changes, adri will just go "eee.. gaga!" and points to her own armpits too.. LOL

ecookie, hahahaha! u la.. teach him ee ee mao.. ha! now u kena liao.. better dun mention anymore.. esp when YZ speaks so well! LOL
u know my hb taught adri the stupid "neh neh pok"! i was so irritated leh. until adri took revenge for me. she pointed her papa's chest and said "pok pok pok" when my hb kept correcting her.. "no.. this is chest.. not pok!" hahaha! cos he bui liao ma.. so chest sagging = neh neh pok!

aria, they embarrassed?? no la.. they have the hide of an elephant! so thick-skinned!

 

[ariajo]

ecookie,
funny lah you.. go and teach YZ maomao.. what if he flip your skirt next time in the public??wahaha...

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
haha..aria also will point and say neh neh pok when he sees my hubby topless and when she herself is topless..hehe..

 

[hippo18]

aria, hahaha! hi-5! adri quite 'ben' one leh. she'll poke her own nipple.. and is fascinated with it.. ha..

 

[ariajo]

hippo
hahah...hi-5! by the way, talking abt neh neh pok, does adri's one a bit bulging huh cos aria is and wondering if it's normal?? mm... my BIL was telling me her daughter breast was quite swollen and they brought her see PD and they prescribe hormon cos hers was not normal.. so, wondering if aria has that problem..

 

[hippo18]

aria, hmm.. slightly bulging only. but it seems normal baby fats to me. not very big but if she sleeps on her side, can see cleavage la.. ha! i tink tis applies to the boys as well right?

 

[junniezz]

hippo,ariajo,ecooke.. hahaha.. ur todds really ke-ai!!! i'll nvr try teaching them incase they blah out in public i'll die man..

tiffany.. y lucas waked up at 3.15am & asked for milk but didnt drink? u mean he went back to sleep rite away? so wasted leh.. then u can try dun make 4him & pat him back to slp? usually either me or hb will b half awake to wait for lance finished his milk & washed the bottle if middle of the nite. for zann, we got to wake her up latest by 7.30 to ask her drink milk... if they cant finish, usually i'll b their 'vaccum' to gulp the milk down..

 

[junniezz]

ariajo... so young shd b bb fats ba.. where got breast?? lance also alot bah bah @ his chest..

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
oh, aria is safe..no cleavage even if she sleep on the side..hahah...

junnie,

[karrie]

hi mummies, been so so busy these few days, trying to spend more time with the 2 babies before going back to work.

Just some updates...
Brought matty to the JB Children's Garden on Sun, he really loved it!! haha the water spray on his face also happy...funny boy. he's been so amusing lately. knows how to exclaim "AIIYOOOOO!" and yest my fil was at the PC copying some song lyrics from the internet for his gig, and our fren went up to him and said "COPY SONG!" he also knows how to operate the garden hose and spray the nozzle at us...aiyo this boy...and he likes poke my boobs and say "mummy milk!"

mea is very chubby now and her voice is changing. v talkative n smiley when she's not howling away due to hunger, tummy ache or boredom. she doesn't like being carried like a small bb anymore. wanna be upright to see the world...very 'bo eng' entertaining her. haha.

hippo, thanks for the link...later i go n upload matt's n mea's pics double the trouble, double the chances...

chintz, yah i had trouble sleeping in the last trimester of my pregnancy... and matty also woke up at nite for milk. think he wanted attention cos he prob sensed meimei coming. every night i slept abt mebbe 2-3 hours only. very tiring to have to teach the whole day after that. mebbe u take ML a bit earlier to rest? or get like 2 week MC from gynae before ur due date so that u dun waste ur ML...? must rest more k?

sorry mummies no time to respond and catch up with the other posts...

is there gonna b a national day gathering? let me know k...

[vivphua]

Tiffany,
Regarding Humidifier, I've just bought one NOVITA NH 809 (the one with the LCD screen selling at $199 now) and one Osim iLife. All along, I have been burning Lavender or bergamot (from bodyshop) using a burner, however I found out that I cannot use those from bodyshop on both humidifiers, cos not dilute enough... so I bought the rosemary & lavender for the kids... and ylang ylang for me.. though I prefer the former after trying out. ylang ylang is more for couples relaxation. Tiffie is hooked on lavender, and I do notice lavender helps the kids to sleep better... especially marcus... cos he tends to stir in the middle of the night, or ask for milk at 3am... wat are you using?

Hippo,
saw the pics you posted for the asianparents contest.... Adri is so kawaii... love her to bits

as for the monster hair... maybe I should ask hb to show it to marcus and see how he respond .. keke

hapi_fifi,
the canvas painting are absolutely gorgeous... you really inspired me to do something to my kids' boring bedroom

you are one hardworking mummy!

junnie,
Wow.... good mummy never waste milk... you actually dare to drink baby formula ???? It tastes funny to me... I only dare to drink HL or other fresh milk... other adult milk powder is also a no-no for me...

 

[jovialz]

Hi mummies,
Was at my mum's place today (took leave) thus no chance to post. Update on Caelen, his fever no more liao and practically stop coughing liao (only very occasional 'ah ham'). We'd fed him 1 teaspoon of honey yesterday afternoon & Night and this morning too ('neat' , then water at about 15mins later)

Gingerleaf,
Dare not put honey in luggage cos dunno if it will leak. If it does, then will be very messy lor.

Hapi Fifi,
Wow ! that's nice room deco. Lot of hard work.

Karrie,
hehe, well I can understand why Matty does that since you are still feeding Mea. There's once Caelen in a quick motion, slips his hand in and gave me a pinch on the nipple, *ouch* then he laugh. So naughty !!! Dunno to laugh or to be angry.

 

[vivphua]

chersam,
agree with you.... how to fight with this LIVE precious moments... post also no use.... she's too photogenic

 

[vivphua]

Jovialz,
Is it alright for me to feed Marcus and Tiffie UMF10 manuka honey direct without mixing with other liquids.... Tiffie prefers this way. How much can i feed them? is one teaspoon too much for them? TIA

 

[jas55]

Chersam & hapi fifi,
Every time i wash his hair, he scream like hell. Plus he really perspire alot even in aircon room. Then my Sis In law asked me to shave off his hair also to let the hair grow thicker in future.

Dodo & Karrie,
Nice to see you here!!! miss you...coping well with the two? Our lil ones grow and progress very fast hor?? Now lil D is 7mths liao!!!! haha..soon i can plan his 1st year bday. kekeke!

Chersam & junnie,
Drink your manuka honey!!!

 

[jas55]

Midnight milk:
Think i m more of the jialat type. Dayan sometimes wake up too early and cry for milk (say around 6am), i would tell him:"Now dark dark dun have milk, wait till the sun comes out, sleep now! and keep quiet ah! Goodnight!" Very bad hor his mummy!!

 

[jas55]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PHnRIn74Ag

this is so cute...evian babies!

 

[vivphua]

Jas,
Marcus is also a WATER TAP... his head will be wet even when the aircon is on....as long he is busy moving around... he will perspire. I used to think he has a problem, even ask my chinese sinseh about this.. haha

but again... I hiao... not willing to shave his hair away, cos i always like those kawaii jap/korean boys' hairstyle...keke.

 

[vivphua]

wow... the evian babies are so cute... though the dance moves look a bit animated... the expressions of the babies are so real... love it.

 

[tiffanykoong]

jas,
evian babies is v cute. yest i saw it over the news. hb n me keep laughing n laughing

 

[jas55]

Hippo,
i am soo lazy to participate in any of the contest..too "ma fun". hahah....but my DIL stands very good chance..

 

[jas55]

Mummies,
I think Aug gathering shall we postpone to Sept?? And celebrate our kiddos <font size="+1"><font color="0000ff">big "2"</font></font> (so fast big liao!!?? hahahah!)?? Cos i think we need alot of coordination &amp; time like last year bday party. What do you all think??

 

[eunice_sng71]

Wow. This thread is moving fast.... Can I join in?

My 2nd boy Elvis is borned in Oct 07. He has a elder bro Elbib born Aug 06. We stay Punggol. I'm a FTWM.

[totoro_bb]

hi mummies
Been busy at work and managed to read the post earlier and put up kelly's pic as well for the contest. Well, just for fun since it's so much easier compared to the rest which need certain size pic blah blah blah which I often have problem doing it!!

Hippo
Saw adri dancing again and she is really good!!

Gingerleaf
So you gonna start to pack soon? If it's just 3 mths, then you can do minimum unpacking and maybe use one room for storage! then your rental place will be them super super big for lyn to run around with the cat and rabbit???

Dooboom
Saw your post and you really missed J. I can fully understand as I don't think I can tahan without thinking of my girl! BTW, he seems to be starting to talk already? Mine just added the Pa Pa in her very clear vocab! Still hoping she can surprised me with more words soon.

Jovialz
Glad that Caelen is feeling better liao. Hope he gets well soon.

Junnie
Saw Lance photo on the contest. You went for the huggies jeans thingy! Lance is really cool in that photo! You take care and drink more honey!

Hapi fifi
The canvas is really nice. It looks like the one in robinson wall next to the escalator at the baby level. I'm sure your boy must have loved the 30 animals that you guys have created. Nice work!

tiffany
I have the Novita humidifier and it's quite good. For mummies using any type of humidifier, please remember to clean the internal area frequently and not just add the water only.

Jas
Dayan looks handsome lah, he don't look like girl lah!

Chintz
Take care and rest well.

Happy Wonderland
Welcome to the fast thread!! ha ha

[maisymouse]

Hi happywonderland ,
Welcome! Your older son's name very unique!

Tiffy n zhen zhen,
Was at a pasar malam @ admiralty mrt just now saw a stall selling small black snap clips 12 for $1. Bigger ones 6 for $1.

 

[vivphua]

Happywonderland &amp; totoro_bb
I do have the same problem... Marcus is born 31st Oct... currently 20mths... still babbling and hardly talk, other than calling daddy, mummy, Ta, and jiejie....he has forgotten all the words he used to say when he is younger. Fyi, he started talking at 8mths... with words like milk, ma, duck etc... now... totally nothing... and the paed can't do anything... she just tell me she will refer Marcus to a speech therapist if he still don't talk at 2... haiz. Feel so frustrated, cos he refused to speak... so I can't teach much to him. When attending classes with him... i felt he is not learning much, since he don't learn to be vocal like the other kids, which most can already speak in sentences

Am I worrying too much ???? but I can't help comparing him to his sis, who started pretty early too...

CM,
wow... is it???? show me leh... anyone can help with your posting? Must be real cute

can only keep their hair long while they are young and cute... once they hit Pri 1... off it goes... so now I'm trying to keep Marcus' hair long and thicker... so already cut twice so far. Fyi, he has really soft &amp; fine hair like his sis...

 

[vivphua]

totoro_bb,
is the east coast outing confirmed? when is it? I wanna join in too !!!

 

[vivphua]

CM,
is it similar to this? My hb says this hairstyle looks so girlish leh....

 

[jas55]

East coast outing:
If on, i also want to go!!!!!! hahaha...dun know where is the list? i rem only me, hippo and ecookie if i not wrong.

Venue:
Ya..we must decide fast where shall we hold our 2nd BB Party!

Welcome happywonderland!

 

[jas55]

Totoro,
Ya! we can eat at Mac. Our kiddos sure very happy one with all the french fries! hahahaha

 

[tiffany_seah]

Hippo/Junnie
Lucas has been a milk addict since 8th mth till now. Of cos not every night he will ask for milk at 3am, if like that, I will be so haggard and look like an old granny loh! But he has this super bad habit, he needs to have a bottle of milk to be stuck in his mouth to fall asleep.

Junnie, I dont dare to drink his Formulae milk lei, think I will puke. The smell of it makes me feel so yucky alrdy. He always waste my money la, ask me to make milk, drink abit then dont want. So, everytime I will have to make guesses how much milk to make! Sometimes he will finish, sometimes not.

Re: Novita Humidifier - Home Innovation (White colour)
I am using this, cant remember the model number. They are still selling this model, however, the price has dropped from $199 to $149 now. Just bought 3 bottles of Novita Essential oil blend last saturday from Isetan. They are having promo, selling 3bottles at $49. Bought 2 Eucalyptus and a Peppermint. Both Andrea and me have sensitive nose/ sinus, so, these 2 suit us best. Before I bought this Novita essential oil blend, I drop in pure essential oil of other brand (lavender/ Eucalyptus) the smell was stronger (pure), but I find okay too. Heard from the promoter that for Novita, only can use back Novita essential oil brand, if not, can spoil the motor. Did you buy the essential oil blend from Novita too?

Totoro_b
Yes, its best to wash the inside once a week.

Party/ gathering
On On On... Aug or Sep also On! So looking forward....

Mummies,
Lucas is coughing quite badly these 2 days. I just give him his old dosage that his Dr gave for cough and phelgm previously. I am thinking to give him the medicine for 2 days and see if he recovers. If it still persist, then I will bring him to Dr. Can anyone share if worst case, what can recurring cough lead to?

Petit
The pictures you post very handsome... btw, CM's carlson has nice soft brownish long hair too.. Not too far from the picture you have post..

Happywonderland
Welcome to OCT thread. I have an elder boy born in Apr06! Hope you can join us to our 2nd bash and other gatherings.

 

[tiffany_seah]

Midnight milk
Jas, You are not bad mummy la. You are doing the right thing. We have spoil Lucas since young liao, very difficult to correct this bad habit now. It was a lesson learnt, so I never gave Andrea midnight milk ever since she slept thru at 3rd month. Her last milk feed before sleep is 9pm, and I will set alarm to wake up at 615am to give both my kids dream feed. Fingers crossed, so far, Andrea has been quite a good sleeper, only at times, when her nose is stuffy, then she will whine. She has bad sensitive nose, and yet I ever tried non-air con, she will sweat like a pig. Haiz.... aircon also tough, no aircon also tough.
