Hi mummies

Ariajo, really envy your milk supply. Hope your inflammation has gone down!

Chintz, can’t believe you’re going back to work already! Feeling is very sian right. How is bosco with chilled EBM? If ok, maybe mix chilled with frozen and see whether he’ll take? You still have 3 more weeks, can experiment and see what works best. Jia you!

Tiffy, the videos of sherry are so cute!

Bbwow, how was the orientation? So are J and sean in the same class?

Junnie, hee hee... brought both girls to my parents place on Sat. But haven’t really gone out yet.

Hannah is taking well to Deborah. Will sayang her and will tell us that she wants milk when she hears Deborah making noise. But she’s exhibiting some attention seeking behaviour. Guess we gotta spend more time with her. But it’s tough. I definitely feel less rested for this confinement. Hardly have chance to rest in the day. Fortunately, i feel much stronger this time around. All the waking up during my pregnancy was good training...

Hi mummies,

Long time 'no see'

Zhen2,

COngra on the beautiful bb.

Doodom,

Congra!! Take care of yrself, the MS will goes off soon.

Aria,

I expressed Bm all along as Brig dun latch on at all. Just have to get use to bringing all the barang barang out.

Jovialz,

Is yr boi getting better? Will getting him to laugh more helps to trigger the muscles?? Get him to watch cartoon. Dun worry too much....

Chintz,

Enjoy the remaining ML, time really flies.


Hi mummies,

Brig rashes is back again, the PD suspect is food allergy. He went for skin patch test before and the results r all neg. Suspect is some food given by the CC. Willhave to get the supervisor to jot donw every single things he took and do 'trial and error'

A.... mummies, im actually planning to ttc..(not so soon...) very keen on home birth this time round. GOing to get my PD nurse friend to fly back to spore to help me with the baby during birthing and helping me to take care of both during confinment. Do you all think is safe to give birth at all. Will engage a gynae and doula too. I got v bad experience with my last confinment... so planning not to get my MIL to help at all... if not i will turn madddddd...


anyway.. it still v v far away.. aiming for a lebbit... a.. how long to wait before trying???

 

[babywoes]

zhen zhen,

the orientation day was very comical. after we finished the briefing, we went to pay up and get the class num. then when we saw we're both under "N1" class, we 'screamed'. Then happily go to the class to explore and very excited that both our boys are in the same class. until the teacher went thru the list and couldn't find Sean's name. Turned out that there are two "N1" class.

 

[zhen_zhen]

chris, you're so adventurous when it comes to birthing. but better check to make sure you're a suitable candidate. just in case got any complications.

bbwow, so sad! would have been good if they were both in same class.

 

[renziz]

zhen2,

birthing at home should be more comfortable. dun like hospital setting. And want brig to be involve...

 

[marukolim]

doobom, will b waitin for ur buzz...so when is ur EDD?

zhen zhen, glad to hear dat hannah is takin deborah well...am sure u will b able to cope wif both of them. so who helpin u wif confinement?

chris, wow...admire ur courage to give birth at home...to try for lebbit u gotta wait till at least next june or july if im not wrong...hehehe...I will wait patiently wif u next yr at this time we will break the news together to the rest. kekeke...
brig got rashes? oh no...sounds bad if its food allergy. ask cc to b take note wat they feed him.

 

[doobom]

Maruko,
It's 01-Jul. I would expect arrival 3rd week Jun-10 coz I will be going for elective c-sect.

 

[maisymouse]

Doobom,

Congrats!

Jovialz,

Were you at penguin island for the penguin parade? I remember the wait for the penguin to come upshore was so so cold.... We we all frozen and so envious of the pp who brought thick blankets.

Zhen zhen,

HanNah is so sweet! Not jealous of Deborah... Joey had a meltdown this week, cried and said that ever since chloe was born I love mei mei more than her... I was really taken aback ... Didn't know she was harbouring so much negative thots and her recent rebellious ways were demonstrating protest . Sigh,
making up individual time with her tomorrow by bringing her to kittylab. Hope to do some damage repair .

 

[cherie_bear]

Hi Mummies:
I'm on ML le,gg to enjoy myself till next tues

doobom:
congrats to u. Enjoy ur 2nd pregnancy. Take care & ur 1st trimester will be over soon.

sugar nut:

Dun worry abt Lleyton,I'm sure he dance as well as the rest of his classmates

chersam:
dun worry abt cherie's concert. I'm sure it will turn out well

tiffy:

junnie:

[cherie_bear]

jovial:
caelen is a handsome boy & the pic is very well taken

 

[marukolim]

doobom, oic...not gg for natural?

mm, Joey felt u "pian xin"? perhaps u side wif mei mei more, thus she got this feelin? How old is Joey btw? Tink if u spend more time wif her den she will b able to eliminate all negative tots in time to com

 

[marukolim]

cherie bear, enjoy ur "ME" time now till next tue...will b waitin to c little "jun kang"- did I get it rite?

 

[tiffanykoong]

maruko, chersam

cherie bear

so now counting down to see ur little prince soon.

zhenzhen,
glad to hear Hannah is lending a hand to help take care of Deborah. Hannah is a gd sister.

mm,
hope joey will forget the neg tot. spend more time with her.

 

[doobom]

Maruko,
Nope, I opt for elective c-sect last time round. So should be the same this time round.

 

[junniezz]

maisymouse.. joey really said tat? hmmm.. looks like our elder sama sama.. zann often said tat too, but i find her unreasonable at times cos whenever she said tat clause 'we luv didi dun luv her' is when she wanna eat junk food (chocolate one after another) or hook on computer game/cartoons for too long.. then she'll said tat... so everytime we hv to talk sense in her & ask her to judge herself since when we dun luv her... she's always getting 1st hand toy, etc. then she more 'balance'.. kids nowsaday really make us 'big head' =) jus hv to b more patient w joey..

cheriebear.. jus needa eat & sleep, play w shanice =)

chris.. brig rashes still on arh? funny hor.. tink oni can test the food 1x1 at home le.. dun tink the cc can do tat... re home delivery.. really can arh? i thot all must go hospital unlike in olden days... hmmm.. something new to me... if u really opt for tis option.. then must do lotsa homework 1st... jia you =)

doobom... thot hippo alr narrowed down the venue to vivo, but so far still no news yet.. end up we all go macdonald =D

 

[marukolim]

doobom, oic...

tiffy, u can bring urs along lah...no worries abt it.

junnie, did i see macdonald??? hahaha...den it will b filled wif all our screams when one of us kena sentosa cove

 

[hippo18]

zhen zhen, datz so sweet of hannah! so sensible .. awwww...

maisymouse, joey reali feels dat way huh? i m sure ur heart must have hurt to hear dat.. so shower her with more love and reassure u love them both as much!

cheriebear, enjoy ur break!! have a greast one b4 u pop!

tiffany, congrats! ur maid is coming back! keke.. poor dear..

 

[junniezz]

[sugar_nut]

cherie_bear, I got a letter from the school last friday on the full-dress rehearsal. You want to check with them tmrw?

 

[chintz]

hi mummies, thanks for the advises and tips on ebm. i tried mixing the thawed and the chilled but bosco also doesn't like. from what i notice, frozen ebm won't have that funny smell if it's less than 1 week. now in my freezer really no more, all thrown away ones were mostly during the first 2mths. lately seems drying...

tried checking to donate away also no result. offered to chloe she just had a bit then showed me "No, thanks!" face hehe. i didn't try to mix it with chloe's fm though. find it too troublesome *excuses*

cherie bear, enjoy the week! so u opt for c-sect?

zhen zhen, glad to hear that hannah is accepting deborah well

 

[jas55]

totoro,
think you will be the next one to announce "news" for us. Keke! oops!

[tiffany_seah]

Chersam,
Wah... you really take care of your clothings, still can hand wash. I am not as hardworking as you. Think I have not worked my hands and body for long long time. Without maid for 2wks nia, my hands, knuckles and body all aching. Can feel my bones are tearing.

Wish your mummy TUA HUAT at casino. Hey sweetie, Come & join us lei, take 1 day leave bring Cherie have fun, dont go sch la....... rare chance we have such weekday gatherings lei.

Totoro,

Chris,
Home birthing is so rare here... admire your guts. You are really very adventurous.

[doobom]

Morning mummies...

re: 27Nov gathering
I prefer Marche.
Since it's quite a big group, do we have to make reservations?

Tiffy,
EDD is 01-Jul. Most probably I will schedule it in 3rd week Jun-10, depending on the calendar then. Will 'read' the calendar when the time is near.

 

[eunice_sng71]

He had finished his med so will bring him to c doc after I bring the cats. Sigh...super no morale today. Will let u noe abt Mon after I observe his condition for these few days. Dun wanna bring him there while he sick in case later he pass to any of your kids *choi-touchwood*
Noticed he was breathin quite heavily this morning. Tink his nose is blocked also.

 

[ecookie]

chersam: wow, u very hardworking still got hand-wash ur clothes. i only "throw" to my mum when i bought new clothings so she can wash the 1st time, then after that all dump into washing machine one. try to use laundry bag to minimise stretching but my clothings all still cant last long one.. sigh.

maruko: oh dear, shoo shoo away all viruses. hope travis will recover fast!
nowadays with the change in weather, alot more pple are falling sick..

27 nov gathering: im fine with anywhere so long location ard vivo/harbourfront. it will be a lunch thingy right? or are we meeting earlier like say 11am so that the toddlers can still catch their naps after the gathering?

 

[chersam]

morning mummies!

tiffany,

hope travis speedy recovery! ya, viruses all around. remb i told u all cherie had 4 long weeks of runny nose? now came back again! bo bian lar, attending sch is like that one. 1 kid fall sick after another. her runny nose not as serious as that time round tho but i hope she will recover within these few days, in time for the concert. if runny nose still persist, we can't join in polliwogs on Mon too.
i only know that gingerleaf got cats, din know that u have cats also. kekeke! ur MIL ok with the cats ah? thot she likes the hse to be clean clean one

ecookie,
me kena "trained" by my mum since teenage =P
1 good thing abt handwash is that we can separate the coloured clothings so that the dark color clothings wun "stain" on those lighter color clothings

junnie,
hope zann's fever has gone down!
