hapififi are U sleeping liao ... or busy watch DVD again kekeke
 


Mummies...

I was so shocked that my mum just told me that she cooked crocodile meat for J's dinner this evening. She bought it from Carrefour and told me that it's good for the lungs.
I was like 'HUH? OMG! I can't believe it.'
Dun noe how to react...

dodo,
How's everything @ your end? ZQ feeing better now?
 
Dodo,

hugs to you! Don't be worried , zq will be alright. You are really doing your best!

Hapififi ,

so good to know you are still going strong, and glad to see do many pp visiting . Sorry hadn't been able to come by again. Really tied up... Will be away for the sch hols to Tokyo ... Coming back on next sun... Hopefully you still haven given birth yet.

hapififi.. u look jus great! hope our mini gathering + mac bf + h.k.m. w chilli padi + durian pancake + little deb hv perked up ur day =D u gonna hv another round of yummy durian fm maruko tmr + ur aidan & hb to keep u company =)

chris.. glad ur doc said is ok... phiew.. looks like u gotta bear w the merlion for time being.. jus dun tink abt it.... tink of happi times w ah brig =)

dodo... u r not lousy at all! u r handling the matter v well.. be it any of us.. tink we'll also panic, needless to say our tears went freeflow.. u gotta b strong for both boys... i was so touched the way u described how zq reacted to ya when he abt to vomit... poor didi too.. feeling so insecure w new ah yi... glad zq's teacher is able to be of help at tat v moment... i tink his vomit due to some stomache/gastric upset not of the fall.. usually if caused by the fall, it'll b continuous vomitting.. put on drip is the fastest way to regain fm dehydration... glad zq jus need it 3hrs & can go home.. hope ur hb back soonest... dun worry.. both ur boys will b jus fine.. they r right by ur side sleeping w u now... u'll b in our prayers..*hugz* =)
 
maisymouse.. wow..joey & chloe must b v excited abt the trip.. bringing them to disney too?? enjoy ur trip w the family =)

doobom.. ur mum so 'in' arh?? crocodile meat? ya, i heard b4... is good for cough too.. but still dun hv the courage to try :p hope jerry get the best out of it =)
 
i am here too. just came back from the retail shopping at NTUC. Was reflecting why being a mum is so difficult. Really not easy. Was quite affected by dodo's encounter. I often have to meet this kind of helpless senerios. Gradually my heart become weaker & weaker. A mother wish is so simple but yet so difficult to achieve. Happy & healthy children. That's all mah! .....
 
hi jas.. shopping again at tis hour?? hohoho.. pocket big hole boh?? dun tink too much... nowsaday many funny 病毒/天灾 + usual 事事非非 现在人好像纸做的 really unavoidable to be nt get hurt... must learn to tackle it.. tat's where we bcom stronger =)
 
I'm here too! Can't sleep
so was goggl-ing for vomit / head injuries, trying to know more but there is not much co-relation on the extent of the injury. Some say the number of times vomiting does not mean it's more serious etc. Impt is that the child is still behaving normal and continue playing. And most say if really there is minor injuries, it will recover on it's own. Hmm really hope to give strength to dodo and hope she is coping well over there.
 
Jas
saw my fb status, kelly says ur house very nice and wanna see her friends!!! She still remember the yellow mango thing that she ate at your place! So When is our next gathering?
 
doobom... give J crocodile meat heard its really good for cough & lung ... my parents always wanted me to have that but always at the worng time cos i am pregy with time they have it so still no chance to take it

I am also here ... want to sleep but still waiting for hb to come back ... he went out for drinks with the guys ... and smsing me on and off cos they are up to no good ...

Junnie, cm, totoro,
wah u all night owls indeed! I should have came in to chit chat. Couldn't sleep the whole night, prob less than 1hr sleep only. Been having contractions on & off, so uncomfortable cannot sleep. Seems like my medicine is slowly getting ineffective in controlling my contractions. Hopefully can still hold on for a few more days

Morning Hapi fifi

But I have this irritating feeling in me that is making me feeling so frustrated that I can't sleep though I'm tired hiaz and yet I don't know exactly what is the root cause!!!!! Yikes

Dodo
hope everything is ok over there. Do keep us updated when u are able to.

happy.gif
 
dear all,

im so touched by all your comforting words and helps... really.. im so glad zq born in oct 07 so i got to join this thread and get to know such caring frens like u all... i was teary when i read all the postings concerning zq, it's very heartwarming to know so many of u sincerely care and go the extra mile to help out.. thank u all!

CM, thanks for sharing ur fren's contact wi me! i have yet to call her, i will do so coz it's good to have more frens here.. now then i realise one can be so helpless in foreign land, maybe i shdn't be so anti social anymore..
happy.gif

am really touched by ur help my dear...

totoro, how's kelly? hope she's doing well... u are so sweet gal.. finding out more for me at such an hour.. my eyes teary again..

zq's condition is improving i guess, but still vomit on and off despite i have been feeding him very small portion... however, he's back to his usual cheeky and active self, that's less worrying for me but at the same time i very scared he keep jumping coz i worried he would vomit out the lil food that he had..
sad.gif

i still feel uneasy abt his vomitting, and he also complained abt the bump on his head pain pain at times, i will bring him to another PD tomorrow.. to seek 2nd opinion and hope to understand his condition better...

hubby just back home ard 630pm.. i was shocked when he told me he was hospitalised there at kunming! coz he had difficulty breathing had fainted.. doc said he has 高山症, lungs not strong enough for high altitude... he's fine now, was on oxygen tubes for an hour to make his brain oxygenated again..

it's really a handful for me to handle now, plus my right breast starts to get lumpy and painful, coz of the irregular hours of expressing these few days.. sigh.. supply also drops abit, i think i may need to open the 1st bottle of FM for YA soon.. i wish i can "dong" until 23rd this month.. when he turn 10mths old..

mummies, thanks again.. u all had given me enormous moral support and many helpful tips.. big hugs to all..
 
Dodo,
Glad to hear from you. Think all of us can be more assured le. So worried for you. Ya. Perhaps get to know more spore mummies there. Whatever it is, better to have more helpful friends around.
Poor Ben, hope he is better now. Yr HB also "xin ku" le. All of you shall be more blessed after this tough ordeal.
 
dodo: good to hear that zq is his usual cheeky self. i think this is a strong indication that he should be recovering from the nasty bump. but of cos always good to consult and get 2nd opinion for more assurance so bring him to the PD tom. and ur hb so poor thing, got to be hospitalised! hope things will go smoothly for ur family from now on!
 
dodo, phew! ur updates on zq means so much 2 us! glad 2 know he's bk 2 his cheeky, active self. God bless! At least we know 4 sure he's doing well. do let us know wat pd says ya? I m sure evryting will b fine soon..

is ben ok nw? poor thing leh. e both of u pls take gd care k? Hugz 2 my power mummy n daddy!
 
dodo:
glad to hear that ZQ is much better. & ur hb so poor thing. Lucky he's alrite now. Hope ur family will pass thru this ordeal soon.

jas/junnie/hapififi: nice meeting u all for the 1st time
happy.gif


cm: thks. Still hv blue black think nd more time to recover.
 
hi mummies, just finished pumping...was thinking about you, dodo, so came in to see if zq is any better. really relieved to read that he is back to his cheeky self now. reading your earlier post on the hospital visit really tore at my heart. when i read how zq told didi to go away when he was about to vomit...oh man...tears really came to my eyes. he is such a sweet little boy and I hope he recovers completely soon. was also shocked to read about ben having altitude sickness...but glad that he is all ok now!!

I cannot imagine how it is like for you in a foreign land. but you are one strong and brave mummy, and I think you should never have to feel guilty or blame yourself for anything ok? you're doing the best you can for your lovely family!

jas, zhen_zhen, hapififi, doobom, hippo, junnie and all the other mummies who responded to my rant...thank you for empathising...i really feel so much better when i come here to vent because of you fantastic ladies. teaching is stressful, but i love it because of the intangible rewards. like today i bumped into my ex-student who was working at the IT show, and we had such a good chat. it's just the non-teaching stuff that gets me, and also the fact that i'm spending so much time on other ppl's kids that i have no time for my own...ironic, right?

part-time is not a good option, I oredi asked HOD about this last year but he said it's like a lot less pay but just a bit less work...so i guess it's either i stay on and endure it, or i just leave completely. but i definitely need to finish this year, cos i dun feel good about leaving my students high and dry...

CM, thanks so much for your patience...sorry to trouble u and your in laws...today i had no time again (!!!) i will prob call them on Mon to see if i can drop by...sigh...

Mebbe I'm a bit emo because it's late at night hahahaha...but u know what, i'm really so grateful to have u gals as a support!!!! i dunno what i would do without u all. altho i'm not very active on the thread, you all never fail to give good advice and just listen when i'm troubled :D
 
Dodo,
so happy to hear from you! glad that zq is on his way to recovery & your hb is ok too. It had been a tough week for you. Things are just going to be smooth-sailing & great from now onwards! Hugs

Karrie,
you are another tough cookie! Your workload sounds really bad (like my hubby!) & you are so right about the irony of you spending so much time on other kids as compared to your own. But many times, it's so tough to strike a good balance between work & personal life. The good thing is u derive intangible job satisfaction from your students :)

I'm also thinking very hard of my next career move. Thinking of looking for a job maybe a few months after Keagan is born. But I'm really quite clueless what I should be looking at. If I were to return to marketing/corp comms arena, I know the hours will be crazy & I really would love to spend more time with my boys. If I were to switch line, I've no idea what I can do! Haha. On the other hand, if I continue to be sahm, it can be so financially straining. Sigh. Decisions decisions decisions. Why can't we mummies just have it all? Haha
 
mummies,

thanks for all the well wishes! hubby wana thanks u all too.. he's so touched and glad i have a bunch of good pals here
happy.gif


we didn't bring zq to PD today coz of heavy snow since morning! really wonder whats wrong wi the weather, it's already March but still snowing.. very sian.. this make me wana go back to spore v much coz i miss all the outdoor fun for kids..

seems like zq is getting better and better by days.. he's more cheerful today (maybe bcoz his "darling" is back.. haa :p), and his appetite seems to slowly resume as well.. so we will continue to monitor closely, and i check on his body more thoroughly coz sometimes he will complain his legs/ butts/ arms pain.. maybe the after-effect of the fall..

hippo,
ben is better now.. to think that such a tall big man got altitude sickness, ironic right? :p
now he finally realise why he always headache when he outstation to kunming... how's ur back/ butt gal? hope the pain is not that severe now.. 1mth+ to endure my dear! did u go for prenatal massage? maybe it helps? and try not to sit too long, remember to walk ard when u at office desk ya.. hugs..

cherie bear,
oh dear! just read abt ur fall! hope it's not too serious.. and u still up at such late hours huh?! have more rest ya..
happy.gif


karrie,
u another late owl!
happy.gif

my dear, im not a brave mummy at all.. i weeped duno how many times since the accident happened.. i hope i can be stronger and actually one of my 2010 resolution is to be a more independent mum! but i dun think i anyway close to achieving that, my parents are worried lots abt zq and me, my sisters are also very worrying.. lots of sms and calls from spore, msia & australia these few days just to check on zq and me.. i feel rather bad to make them so worried abt me.. sigh.. and the fact that i duno how to drive really make me a handicap! i cant even drive my own son to clinic when he's sick, still gonna rely on cab,which maybe difficult to get one nowadays coz of the snow condition. and hubby's car just parked downstair... so useless of me.. sigh..

gal, it's hard on u to strike a balance btw work & home coz of demanding nature as a teacher.. but u had done well so far! Mea is coming one and u still BF! and dun worry abt the lil time wiur kiddos, just keep remind urself u are doing ur best at the moment, and spend ur quality time wi them in a more fun and loving way, make the hours special and heartwarming even if it's just hugging and playing on bed, drawing of family portrait wi them, hand & toes painting wi them can be so meaningful also
happy.gif
i have all my time spending wi my boys but most of the time im busy preparing their meals, cooking, doing some housechores.. i wish i can hv better time management and do some really interesting stuff wi them!

hapififi,
how are u today? hope keagan is getting bigger today wi all the good food over weekend, let's pray that he gains another 300g after oct mummies visited u yesterday wi all the good food ya!
happy.gif


me too.. thinking what can i do if i back to spore... maybe a part-time work is more suitable for me, coz i wish to spend the time wi my boys when they back from schools.. but im not sure what can i do.. agree on the financial part, and i think our hubbies definately feel abit more pressure as their job is so crucial now, so many "mouths" to feed.. haa..
hmm.. maybe we can 合作 and work out something hor.. :p
 
chintz,
wow! just read that u at genting now! enjoy and HAT AH!
happy.gif


ecookie,
is yr getting more manageable? agree wi jas that u can start to train him to sleep on his own now.. bbies are smart and they can get into routine pretty fast.. i just put YA on bed once he had his last milk, sometimes he's already very sleepy so will just zzz immediately, but sometimes he's v wakey and playful and i will tell him that it's sleeping time, faster close ur eyes and sleep, maybe sing a few lullabies then i will off the light and leave the room liao.. he will make noise for a while but i bochap la then he will fall asleep ultimately.. give it a try gal! maybe yr will surprise u that he's can self sooth to sleep also!
happy.gif

yr seems abt same size as ya.. ya was 5.3kg and 59cm whn full month.. now he's 10.30kg at 9mth old.. quite big i think but he dun look super chubby and bui bui, maybe he's quite tall also.. and he got my hubby's face, 瓜子脸.. zq poor thing, got my "pong pia" face! haa
 
dodo: so glad to hear about zq getting more active!
happy.gif

and dun feel bad abt making ur parents/sisters worrying abt u, they are showing their concern and im sure their constant keeping in touch w you is also one of ur souce for comfort n strength to draw from! we really cant do w/o our family right!
and hope this episode can be a strong motivation to let u start learning driving, gal! its a really useful skill!
happy.gif
so once u back in sg, take up the lessons again ok!

my hb used to persuade me to learn driving last time. saying if one day he's sick i can quickly drive him to doc. but this reason is not strong enough a reason so i never pick up driving in the past.. haha. but once i have yz, i decided to take up lessons cos i want to be available to ferry yz whenever the need arises, be it just an outing or to get help if needed. LOL. the power of mummy love. :p
 
sleep training: yah i decided to try sleep train yr from fri night. cos really cant cope having to spend so much time carrying him ard just to sooth him to sleep. yz, hb and the house need my time n attention as well. but cos yr cried in the nursery in TMC till he lost his voice and had hoarse voice for almost a mth during his 1st mth, all of us dun dare to let him cry too much in case of aggravating the voice. the end results is he wants to be carried alot as we give in to that alot.

so for the past 2 nights, i just popped in the pacifier and pat him (i still cant bear to just walk out and let him sleep, maybe will try soon). and the boy cried so madly n loudly demanding to be carried!! surprisingly it lasted at most 10mins, before he quiet down to some whimpering then actually slept!
but that 10 mins was really tortouring for me.
sad.gif
and even when he managed to sleep w/o being carried, i felt more guilty than relieved/happy.
sad.gif


sigh, but i know once i started this, have to stick to it. if not just sending wrong messages to the poor confused boy. so today even for naps we didnt carry him but just pacifier+patting and luckily he fall asleep fast w/o fussing too. so i guess it has more or less worked.
maybe i just stop at this. i dun mind patting him to sleep. :p

next will be to cut away his 3am feed. wish me luck!
 
Dodo
so glad to see ur updates and that ZQ is getting back to his normal self. Hope the weather gets better and u can bring him to the pd to ensure that everything is fine!
It was really tough for your whole family last week but hey everyone is ok now so life sure gonna be much better moving foward.

Karrie
just wonder if there is anything that the school can do to lessen the workload and strike a work- life balanced!! I would think since it's govt sector, they should really be looking at it seriously so that they don't lose good teachers like you.

Hapi Fifi
so you have a good time with Aidan this weekend?? Jia you
 
dodo, am so glad to hear that zq and ben are much better now. your family has been through a lot these past few days, but you've survived! big hug to you!!!

karrie, hapi fifi, dodo, join me join me and work part-time! then i can have lunch kakis.
happy.gif


ecookie, wow! looks like YR is learning very quickly. and 10min is very good already!!! deborah cried much longer than that on the first day.
 
Dodo ... yah .. ZQ is ok now ... dun worry he will be just fine ...
happy.gif

happy.gif
 
Good morning!

Totoro,
yay so happy to see Aidan over the weekend even though he didn't stay for long. Suddenly feel as if I have missed out so much on his growing up phase though it has only been 3+ weeks. Maybe too used to facing him daily. Now I understand the Chinese saying '一日不见,如隔三秋' haha

cm,
ya, I've been eating soooooo much the past few days that I feel as if my stomach is bursting! Many all the tightening are due to excessive food in stomach & not real contractions! Wahaha

Ecookie,
reading your posts about yr's sleep pattern is starting to send jitters down my spine! Haha. As much as I look forward to bringing Keagan home soon, I'm really dreading the pumping milk, feeding & sleep training parts! Eeeks so de ja vu! Maybe it's time to dig out my Gina Ford's 'the contented little baby' book & start reading again :)
 
good morning sweeties!!!

dodo, yay yay! great to hear all's fine on ur end..
happy.gif
so bad of u to describe ben lidat.. tall guy wif altitude sickness.. me too ma.. so tall but USELESS in sports.. wakakkaaka! cannot even balance myself properly.. remind him to bring altitude pills the next time ar.. wif ZQ returning back to his active self, u dun worie much le okie?? muacks!

i'll be hitting 36 weeks tis week and i cnt tell u how glad i m! i m seriously counting down.. hurhurhur..

hapififi, ha! u are so poetic recently leh.. but i understand wat u mean.. dun think too much k? very soon u'll be back with ur 2 handsome babies!!

ecookie, the "weida" love of a mummy! u are doing so well now so pat pat pat on ur back! p.s. i had to say the same thing to my hb to make him take up driving okie? so he's a "weida" papa but irritating hb! haha.. he still dun dare to insist on driving me back now though cos tis is the only activity i can do right now! without feeling like an invalid for all other tasks.. ha!
 
Hippo,
woohoo! U are Week 36 already! Really can start counting down. Moreover Ayden is of a good weight ya?

I'm also happily counting down to 18 march - just 3 more days to week 34! Have agreed with gynae to stop medication on 18 march (maybe last dosage around midnight or 4am), then I can start walking around the ward to faciliate cervix opening & hopefully can have a smooth & speedy delivery on the same day! Let's pray Keagan will cooperate ;-)
 
morning mummies!!

hapi_fifi: yay! coming to week 34 liao! baby will be preterm and not premature already. also, im sure keagan will be > 2kg when u deliver.
happy.gif

i have the same gina ford book too.. but hor so hard to make our babies like hers one leh.. but its a good guideline to try to follow haha

hippo: same same!! when im preggy, i always want to drive.. cos being on the move made me feel so heavy n frustrated, i always want to drive cos it made me feel rested and in control as i told my hb.. hah but he didnt understand lah. still, he let me drive till the day i popped haha. dun dare to cross a grouchy preggy i guess. hehe.
 
morning mummies:

hippo: yeah....u can start to count down & can do some retail therapy b4 baby Ayden's arrival
happy.gif


hapififi: i'm sure baby keagan will be very cooperative wif u cos he knows that mummy is doing a great job & wif all the yummy food mummy has bn eating over the wkend to boost him
happy.gif


dodo: glad to hear that both zq & ur hb are well. At least now u dun hv to worry too much. re: ur parents & siblings calling u,they are concern of u & dun blame urself for making them worried cos they loves u. & oso re feeding ya fm,u hv bn doing a great job giving ya fm for 9mth+,so if u were to give him fm earlier than expected,dun feel disappointed. Cos bm or fm,all we wan is our baby healthy. So u hv alrdy done a gd job
happy.gif
though i know u "she bu de" to give him fm.

zhenzhen: dun mention
happy.gif
I'm happy to carry her too. She's such a sweetie. I like the way she suck her fingers,juz like Javen, haha....

tiffy:how are u le? How's ur ms?

chris: is ur ms getting better? still vomit blood?
 
ecookie,
yup i'm hoping all the durian stuff will boost his weight & be more than 2kg! haha. actually it would be nice if he could stay longer than 34 weeks. but problem is my amniotic fluid keeps leaking & still on the low side despite the fact that it can be replenished. so my gynae already told me to be prepared to see a 'squashed' baby, as in his limbs might be curled up due to lack of fluid to stretch & move about in my womb. Good thing is it's unlikely to be permanent. But I reckon by Week 34, it might be safer for him to be out than to remain inside my womb :) nowadays i could feel his feet pushing against my chest & ribs. quite painful & more noticeable bcos of low fluid. guess he is also getting uncomfortable with the lack of space! haha

the only thing about giving birth on 18/3 is that my CL is only available on 27/3. so we'll be on our own for a week. guess can only take a step at a time. anyway, we also do not know how long Keagan has to stay in NICU or be hospitalised for jaundice (hopefully there's no need to!)

re: gina ford
i think she either faces only PERFECT babies or she twists & turns the facts! wahahaa. i also take it with a pinch of salt & never follow to the tee. but it's rather good as a rough guideline & we sinmply customise according to our (and baby's) needs :p
 
hapififi, yay yay!! i hope ayden is of a good weight now.. checkup on thurs.. he seems smaller than chubby jiejie at the same period though but definitely LONGER! hahaha..
i m sure keagan will cooperate with u dear! and i'll pray dat he'll be a great baby to take care of too considering what he had put u thru! u'll cope just fine dear.. gambate!! *no NICU. no jaundice!* he will be a healthy & happy baby!!
happy.gif


ecookie, hahaha! grouchy preggy = stay away as far as u can! haha.. no la. .i tink they can also see our frustrations in being unable to carry out our daily tasks except for driving. so bo bian.. have to give in to us.. ha!

cheriebear, how are u le? still sore & painful from the fall? hope u are fine!
retail therapy?? hmm... just managed to spend some $ at the taka fair on sat. but i refused to buy new stroller yet. i keep asking hb how much his sister is going to sponsor.. then i will buy! hahaha.. cheapo me!
 
morning mummies!!

hapi fifi, you've done so well these past few weeks. now you can look forward to 18/3, when you can be mobile again! perhaps you can ask your parents to help out for the first week, before your CL arrives?

hippo, it'll be your turn soon! just endure a few more weeks, and soon your pains will all go away and you will get to cuddle your cutie ayden.

cherie bear, errr.... deb's finger sucking is very "disgusting" leh. even when i put a bib on her, she still manages to get the front of her romper completely soaked.
 
hippo, how's the taka fair? do they have the usual pigeon bottle trade-in? and how come you need a new stroller? what about the one adri was using previously?
 
hippo,
hey thanks for the positive chant!
think it's time for me to revise my chant - instead of 'staying longer', i must say 'no NICU, no jaundice. be healthy & be happy!' keke

talking about retail therapy makes me so sad. i was so envious when hubby brought aidan, my mum & my sis to Taka Baby Fair on Sat to shop...without meeeeeeee!!! But the silly man never bought anything for baby & ended up with a set of super chio speakers for himself! Bleh. i can't wait to be released!
 
zhenzhen,
ya will probably rely on my mum for the first week. just that she also needs to look after aidan. so it will be really taxing for her if she has to cook & help care for Keagan too.

re: stroller
i'm also thinking of getting a new one too cos the combi one that aidan has been using is getting so worn out! haha. but no idea which model to get. maybe try maclaren? anyone using any particular model of maclaren stroller & highly recommends it? i would prefer one that can be reclined, not too clamp (so that aidan can also sleep in it) & would be good if can install those buggy stand for him to stand on.
 


morning mummies!

im good mood today! coz zq seems getting better! though i had low grade fever of 38 degree last night, must be my lumpy breast!

i really love u all mummies, make me feel so blessed
