[ariajo]

Mummies,
Thanks for the encouragement! You know what I started the thread on latching and there are mummies who manage to latch even after 3 mths! Yes, there is hope! I will be patient! Just got to maintain my supply now

Congrats to zhen2. Her news perks me up. So excited for her.

Gingerleaf,
Wow, Lynn can latch after 1 mth. Ok, I will wait patiently for naia. 

Zhen2,
Can't wait to see deborah's pix and also pic taken by kelly

 

Jovialz,
Hope everything will be fine for caelen. Anyway the odds of recovering is pretty high right, so I'm sure caelen will be fine! Do update us on His condition from time to time. 

Tifanny,
Wow, hats of you lor. Seriously you look more like an Atas tai2 than a full time mum taking care of 2 kids by yourself and still manage to do the housework!

Cherie bear,
The next mummy to pop should be you right?get ready everthing already?

Petit gars,
You can use the infant nose drop to unblock your nose. Suprisingly it work for hubby and I when we hv block nose due to flu. Since it's for infant, should be mild to us. But them I still try not more than 5 days la. 

 

[ponponta]

hi mummies...
so long never log in already.. was busy with work...how are all of you?? hope you all have a good birthday celebration with your kiddos..

anders got "false measles" just a week before his birthday.. really gave me a scare... the fever is so high that i have no choice but to give him the insert.. den his rashes started popping out.. so he is very unhappy during birthday celebration in school.. luckily, he feel much better on his birthday...

just to update..i am having another boy..was hoping for a gal.. oh wells...

so how is the rest of the preggy mummies?? hope you doing well

zhen zhen,congrats to your new addition.. hope to see your newborn photos soon...

re brushing teeth, i am also using first teeth toothpaste, is there any expiry date for it? but i dunno how to brush anders teeth except to pass him the toothbrush but most of the time he ended up biting it and eating up the toothpaste.. sigh...

btw, any mummies bringing the kids for eye checkup? i heard that is a service provided by TMC on every tues..

 

[sanbebe]

Hi junnie,
Yes, I'm back from my trip !!

Hahaha...been MIA for so long...but have been reading the forums on the updates.

I'm fully recovered liao and the skin on the sole of my feet are peeling. Those are the areas where I had my blisters when I was suffering from HFMD. I'm like a snake now, skins are peeing off....

The trip was a success. We enjoyed the trip very much. I have some nice photos in my facebook. How about you? Enjoyed the trip?

 

[ponponta]

ariajo, really admire you.. i also have problems latching and really gave up after 2 weeks.. i really dunno wat is the problem.. wanted to look for the LC but it happen during the confinement mth.. sigh......so ended up expressing...

any mummies using freestyle? i used to use PIS backpack.. tinking of switching to freestyle.. getting from US seemed so cheap as compared to singapore but of cos no warranty lar..

 

[junniezz]

ponponta... helloooooo, really long time no hear =) didi for anders?? good also la, can save $$ by recycling his stuff?? keke.. re..eye chk up?? izzit necessary?? hvnt send them for any yet..

 

[junniezz]

sanbebe... skin peeling like snake?? LOL... good to hear ur trip is a success despite ur hfmd... will chk out ur pix in ur fb (paisay.. i still no time to upload anything yet..) trip for us overall ok la.... we met good tourmates.. except too short time to explore & abit tedious w 2 kids on tow... if got chance, i wanna go taiwan on F&E again..

 

[cherie_bear]

chersam/junnie/aria jo:
yes,i'll be next to pop

counting down to 24/11. Hope bb guai guai stay in my tummy till 24/11 so that i hv some "me" time next wk & also won't incur emergency cost, hehe...bad mummy. Juz took out the cot yday to clean up & sun-tan. Left some cloth nappy & blankets nd to wash & the rest are all prepared. Can relax & wait for bb's arrival

ponponta:
congrats on hvg another prince. It's ok to hv boy again since can share clothings. U can always try for #3 for gal

sanbebe:
welcome back! Glad that u hv recovered & enjoyed ur trip.

cm:
dun worry too much on ur gal's result. She will try her best to study hard.

 

[sanbebe]

Hey ponponta,
So long never hear from you !!

Glad to hear that you are doing fine and congrats to you for having a baby!!

I'm using Oriel toothpaste for Jav and he likes it.
Regarding brushing teeth, I think we don't need to worry if the kiddos are not brushing it or avoiding it as I believe they will eventually pick it up when they are a bit older. My mom said she never brush my teeth when I was young, only when I was like 3-4 yrs old. And, my teeth are just fine.

TMC has eye checkup on every tues? May I know where? I haven't brought Jav for eye checkup yet.

 

[sanbebe]

cherie bear,
wow, so u're the next mummy to pop?! so excited.....
My cousin also going to pop soon, her edd 18/11, just 1 week before yours.

cm,
Don't stressed yourself too much on your daughter's exam. She's just P1. No matter how they do badly, they will still get promoted in primary school, so don't worry too much, ok? I'm sure Carissa is a smart girl, she'll do well in her future exams.

 

[ponponta]

junnie, ya lor... really miss all of you.. very sad, cannot catch up with the thread.. sigh...

haha, till now i have not bought anything for didi.. was tinking of maybe buying sterilizer and bottle warmer.. but debating between avent or pigeon...

re: eye check up.. my boss bring her daughter there for regular checkup.. since my son love to watch tv so much and also we started wearing glasses young, so i tot must as well go for checkup lor.. heehee...

 

[ponponta]

cherie bear, so excited for you!! u on leave already?? is it didi or meimei? tot of a name already...

who is next after cherie bear? is it ecookie?

sanbebe, hihi.. i am not sure where is it.. but need to check with my boss again.. but TMC really far for me.. was hoping elsewhere will have similar checks... heard the service cost $50 each time...

 

[sanbebe]

ponponta,
Thanks thanks, but $50 is pretty expensive hor?

 

[cherie_bear]

ponponta:

Hippo : hope your back better now...



jovial: Is Caelen better now?

 

[sugar_nut]

ponponta, congrats on hvg a bb boy! pass down anders clothes to didi, then u aim another Oct bb gal for #3!

today is my first day out of confinement.. really must find time to eat and bathe. Cos' hvn't let maid handle bb, so everything must wait till bb is asleep then I can do. Then when lleyton is back, quickly had dinner with him and HB, then HB go out again. After that, maid to play with lleyton until HB comes back. So tough leh, really thk Jas v li hai leh, to handle 2 all alone!

Brought bb out nearby mall to buy dinner, then met a crazy auntie who scolded me for not thanking her for "touching" my bb. Say I not appreciative and use those crude words to scold me.. Basically, BB was crying so I just told her it's ok when she wanted to touch her, while I was making payment. Anyway, just ranting lah.. so demoralised, made my first trip with bb out so unpleasant.

Oh, Leanne also had the baby acne thingy leh. Quite bad and it's mainly on the cheeks. Chintz, how long will they take to go off? Just ignore them is it?

Cherie_bear, didi's name not finalised?

sanbebe, I saw your nice Taiwan photos.. glad that you enjoyed ur trip!

 

[sugar_nut]

zhen_zhen,

BB Deborah is so pretty! From the pics can already tell that her eyes will be v big and pretty, like Hannah! And her rosy cheeks are so nice!

 

[zhen_zhen]

deborah was born on 9/11/09 at 9.01am. weighing 3.35kg and measuring 50cm long. managed to deliver naturally this time. yay!

anyway, my birth story is a bit laughable... started having mild contractions on sunday morning. then at about 11am had show, so decided to go in to hospital. when there, the nurse checked me and said my cervix not ready yet, so sent me home and told me to walk more and come back the next morning.

decided to make the most of my last day of freedom. went to have ice-cream, macs and for dinner, went for a nice meal to celebrate my hubby's birthday.

throughout the day, was still having mild contractions, but was very bearable. but around bed time, the contractions started getting more intense. but i just waited. then at 2am, i called my gynae to ask if i should go in. she said it might take a while more, so asked me to wait till 5min intervals before going in.

close to 4am, i couldn't tahan anymore. even though contractions were still 7min apart, they were getting longer and more intense. so i woke my hubby up and said i wanted to go in. he said, "what can they do there, you still have to wait anyway". my reply, "EPIDURAL!!!"

anyway, while waiting for him to change and brush his teeth, my contractions started coming faster and was soon at 3min intervals. PANIC!

arrived at the hospital at 4plus, the nurse checked me and said i was 6cm dilated already. by then, i was really worried that they wouldn't administer epidural on me. fortunately, she said that she would call in the aneasthetist in straight away. phew!

by 6am, i was fully dilated. but baby was still very high up. because of my previous c-sect scar, gynae didn't want me to start pushing. she said let the contractions bring the baby down naturally. at that moment, was so thankful i was on epidural.

at 8plus, baby was in a good position. because baby was quite low already, i only pushed for 3 contractions and baby was out. whee...

 

[vivphua]

Zhen Zhen.....

I really love Deborah's red lips... nothing beats a sleeping babe...so sweet and beautiful

Rest well and have a great confinement !

 

[oreomama]

zhen zhen,

pls take care and have a good confinement.. hope Hannah is adjusting well to mei mei's arrival and i bet she is!

 

[oreomama]

sugar nut,
dun bother abt that crazy aunty! lots of siao siao ppl ard.. cheer up gal!

and regarding the bb acne, both zq &amp; YA got it as well.. and yes they will clear away ultimately.. as for normal cleansing, u can use sterilised cotton ball with cooled boiled water, just lightly tap on the area and dun wipe it hard.. dun squeeze it and refrain on kissing bb's cheeks oh..

ponponta,
congrats on having another boy!

junnie,
ok, i shall demo to zq also.. rinsing mouth is an important skill i wan him to learn now! hope it can help to delay his tooth turning more yellowish! hee

 

[oreomama]

zhen zhen,
i think by posting pretty Deborah babe's photo here will make many mummies wana have #2 or even #3!!! haaa.. she's just too lovely..

 

[sanbebe]

junnie,
Gathering on 27/11 ? Let me check with hubby. Hopefully I can go...

sugar nut,
You saw my taiwan photos? They were taken by my hualian tour guide. He's really a pro. The photos are so nice.

zhen zhen,
Luckily you didn't wait for 5 mins interval to check in hospital else it might be too late for epidural. Deborah is so sweet to mummy, 3 contractions and she's out.

dodo,
You are coming back? When? Next week?

ecookie,
How's your trip? Did you enjoy it?

 

[chintz]

Be happy k??



Dodo,

[jas55]

Today just watched a serial abt Brunei. Wow! The people there has landed property to stay FOC, children education all paid FOC. They can chose to go overseas to receive further education, and given $1000 allowance every month! The people also enjoy Free medical, if cannot find cure in their own country, they can chose to go spore or England to con't to receive medical help. Their family can come along. All expenses paid. somemore...no need to pay taxes at all. Wau lau! The king damn rich leh! He owns 4000 cars and of which 500 are rolls royce. Why i never tot of marrying a Bruneian?? hahahaha!

The king own plantation &amp; farms in Australia, to bring back to their own country and sell it cheaply to their people. Every month, the king also order superior rice from Thailand to give or sell very low price to them too. Where got so good thing one??

 

[jas55]

CONGRATS TO PONPONTA! Wah..quiet for sooo long ah?? haha..do take care and rest well. Oh ya! regards to the name for your second prince. perhaps get another unique name but sounds diff from anders. next time its not they will get confused, it is US. Esp when you need to scold one of them, u tend to get mixed up like ME!@@@ hahahaha...

[totoro_bb]

Jas

So you are going to your big group trip soon right!! Must be so looking forward to it right!!

Hippo
Hope you are feeling better already and also to mummies who are not feeling well. Please take care. I think the flu bug is everywhere and I also just recovered except for the cough !!!

 

[doobom]

Morning Mummies...

I just finished my happy &amp; satisfying brekkie. Burger King - Crossiant w/ Turkey Ham &amp; Orange Juice. yummy...

Sugar_nut,
Ya, there are really crazy people around targeting on babies/young kids. Dun noe what's wrong with these people that they have this crazy fetish to disturb the little ones. Simply nothing better to do. Moreover, it's newborn. You should have given her a BIG time, thank her by scolding her up, down, left, right...

Jas,
Haha... U sound as if the four are the 'Mu-Lao-Hu'. Why me? You type wrongly?
I am innocent hor. I am very nice one...

Hehe...

hippo,
Shoo Shoo the bugs. Hope you are feeling better now. Take care n rest well.

Ponponta,
Congrats on having a di-di.

zhen_zhen,
So you did c-sect for Hannah and natural birth for Deborah?

Jovialz,
Hope Caelen is feeling better now.
