(2007/11) November MTBs

mummies going to hort park this sunday, how do we meet?

Cat, can u sms me the details as I might not log in next 2 days. I'll prob reach at 8.30am to get the goodie bag.

I went to Hort Park this afternoon for a BD party. The car park was quite full so for sunday, be prepared to find alternative parking.
 


Ueno! Thank You for the list haha! at least I have a list to attempt to put my boy in. Peter pan everywhere seems to have a queue it seems. Oh I will be staying at the Hilton at Orange county, they don't have a kitchen but I'm planning to bring along my cooker pot the kind tat's like a kettle. You cooked both meals in the morning and brought it out or you give cereals for 1 meal?


Plumsource was it a special promo at Jurong Bird park that's why you went? I brought my boy to the zoo before and I had a hard time feeding him there because he was so distracted.
 
dear all,

i have the leapfrog spree going on in http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/590029/1756635.html?1222892111
beacuse i wanna get them for my ds.
Have been waiting for this new design to reduce price for the longest time.
You may be interested to buy to standby too.

plumsource,
Awww.... hugs for the bad experience. I was thinking of going too since kids had free entry. Luckily, hubby talked us out of it. Went to visit an Aunty instead.

Suzanne,
Instead of cooking daily, you could try jar baby food stage 3. That's what I did when we stayed in the hotel (in Singapore.. hahaha). Some flavours dd like, some she didn't like.
 
Queenaire, be prepared to pay for shipping charges.

Plumsource, aiyoo... Next time bring the boys to such places not on popular dates like Children Day cum Hari Raya Pusua!

Suzanne, i think got free entry on 1st Oct for Bird Park.

Kat, how s ZY? Better now? Babies are more clingy when they re sick!

SPREE UPDATES
Party supplies + balloons will reach me on this Sat!!!

Earliest can collect from me is next Mon.

Voted for all.

langlao: How's the party at Hort Park? E's birthday will be on Sunday too but it's gonna be in the late afternoon, hopefully we wont have any issue on parking lots then.

I'll be there at Hort Park this Sunday at abt 830am too. Perhaps we can meet at the goodie bag collection pt?

Plumsource: Hugz...One lesson learnt. My HB's aunt from Indonesia brght the kids to Explorer at Downtown East yest. SUPER crowded too.

Yany: Kaira looks like a big gal gal, such a sweetie pie. And she loves wearing hat? I bght several new ones for E but he doesnt like it nw. Sigh...

K@ye: U going to Hort Park this Sunday? If so, any chance to collect the ballons from u if it's not too rush for u to pack?
 
Yes bad experience, we only went because the kids uncle suggested we all go as family and got the kids all worked up for it, so we went. It wasn't bad but just the queuing and the Bongo burger experience made it worst. But having said that the kids enjoyed themselves and thats what matters. I thought I'd share the experience with you all as a warning so you won't make the same mistake as me. The kiddies might go in free but the adults still had to pay $18 each. So they made a killing with their promo.
 
Cactus, Ms Claire's birthday celebration on this Sunday... So, i wont be going to Hort Park but i think i will get DHL to deliver the balloons to my office. Then i can get the balloons to u and Grace out faster.

Yany!! U re so fortunate!! Kyra is willing to wear hats and clips!! She looks so pretty and girlish!!! Unlike Ms Claire who is just tomboyish and looks like a boy!
 
K@ye: Oh Claire is having her BD celebration so early? Okie okie, then no worries coz thot u'll be there. Hope the party goes well and rem to ask yr pro-camera man to take more pic to share ya.
 
Cactus, Poisson, K@ye,
Thank you for your compliments. K is very girlie in some ways and boyish in others. She loves to play with cars since the boys are into those. They are into fighting as well.... so I'm hoping she won't join in anytime soon

altho i still find myself bored many a times! hahaha...cos cannot do my own things mah. besides looking after K, muz do housework and cook. no time for myself. and sometimes K juz want me to be by her side while she plays on her own. when i want to leave her to do my own things....haizzz....she will cry buckets! nowadays slightly better...i can leave her for like a FEW MINUTES ...

i try to bring her out to the park (cos she likes the animals there) whenever weather permits... nowadays tend to rain and is cold here...sianzzz... other times will be with her playing or helping her practice her walking. or juz keeping a watchful eye over her as she crawls about and tries to walk.

so my life is full of ironies ... i am bored but busy. i am busy doing nothing much. i do nothing much but am very tired at the end of the day... =P
 
hi mummies,

mummies going to the Baby's Day Out,
i'll be sending out PMs to inform u all of the contact nos of the 8 mummies here. i have most of the mummies' contact. let's meet at goodie bag collection pt (but i dunno exactly where is tat).

michviv & Lazykat,
please pm me ur mobile nos.

cheerbb,
Jovan usually wakes up at 6am+ or 7am. he usually bathes at 9am but this sunday i intend to give him a warm warm bath at 7am+ before taking him to the gathering. he perspires when he sleeps so must bath him else he SMELLS! do join us if u can. i'm sure reyner will be happy to meet other babies.
 
dreamer - I like the way u put things abt looking after bb. I always feel that way when I was on maternity leave.. even now each time I tink if I shd be SAHM I tink mayb not :p

langlao - thks for the tip on the swing. was ard the area yesterday so brought her there to play. She was more tickled when she saw me playing wif the swing than wen she was on her own swing- ha ha ha
 
dreamer, hahaha i agree totally with ur last sentence....nothing to do but yet so busy. I feel the same way on weekends and certain days of the week i will be taking care of Mischa + Favian myself.

i can be super busy, but nothing much being done except feeding, changing, playing with 2 kiddos! imagine i got double job. everything i hv to do 2 shares , maybe 3 including myself! AFt feeding the small one, gotta feed the elder one. hahaha actually i can let him feed himself. but i jus super buay tahan he takes his own sweet time eating away, being the impatient me will jus wan to take over each time..i always laugh at myself cos weekends i totally look and behave like a 'xiao cha bo'

glad that my mum also buay tahan me being a SAHM. when i took care of Mischa full time since birth, she offered to help me take over so tt i can go out with hubby or do my own things. at least now i hv a more balanced life. so when sometimes i do not hv much mood for my hobbies (or if i feel guilty) i will give my mum a break and take care of kiddos myself. By the end of the day, i will regret it! LOL..tats what my hubb always say...me so 'xin luan'.

catherine,
i agree with u too abt bathing.. reyner also always wakes up smelly.. either smells of pee or sweat or saliva..

dreamer,
i also just turned SAHM last mth.. totally agree with you.. can't do my own things.. reyner is totally stuck to me unless he's asleep.. there's some improvement recently.. i realise i can leave him alone in his playpen when i give him some picture books to look at.. maybe u can try that with K too.. just to get a few more mins of distraction from mummy..
 
plumsource

wow, sorry to hear your bad experience there.
actually we went around 930am - had breakfast at home coz we anticipated a huge crowd; saves us the trouble plus my HB dun like to wait type...

we managed to catch the hawk/eagle show, the penquin feeding (nothing much to see basically and so crowded, so we left); the bird & buddie show. my gal fell asleep while on the way to lory loft so me & hb quickly grab a bite at the cafe. then we went about the lory loft; then find a spot to feed my gal her lunch (at the aqua something... cant rem).

we went off around 2.30pm and saw a large crowd still outside getting tix! wah...
 
hi SAHM,

so right that bored doing nothing but everyday so busy and so little time left at the end of the day and when bb finally sleep, you thought you can finally take a breather and be a couch potato and eat tibits, drink tea etc.. but then when the next morning comes so fast, you kinda of regret that instead of watching tv late last night, should have slept early with bb too, what a delimma.

run out of things to do with bb at home and start to think of going out with bb, but then when we are outside, i cannot wait to go home again, regrets bring bb out, like crazy woman, one min cry, wants to be carry, one min start to touch and pull thing, one min poo poo, etc....

but every morning when he wakes up and smile at me, i forgot about all the complaints liao and start to think of planning a nice day with him etc... in the end, everyday ended up with similar routine :)

when i was pregnant with him, i plan alot of wonderful things that we can do together, places that we can go together and things we can learn together etc.... but reality is different leh, when i try to read him a book, before i can finish, he crawls off to climb the wall, before i can show him the nice animals at the zoo, he dozed off, when i keeps trying to ask him to point me the picture of a cat after teaching him for months what is a cat, he just give me a blank look. so funny, didn't put in the factor that we are dealing with babies and not doll hor, to get their cooperation now is so difficult, i would be contented that he smile more than he cry, would be contented that he wakes up without cough and running nose, would be contented that he finishes all his porridge and milk, would be contented that he poo as per normal etc...

In short, i am grateful that he is well and healthy :) and i can see him most mins of my life now than wondering what is he doing right this moment.
 
happy, reading your post makes me smile .... i am glad i am not alone =P hehehe.

these days as she's more "matured", she seems to cry more ... dunno y ... and some times its "crocodile tears" ... trying to deal with her crying and sometimes not knowing y drives me mad! like these 2 days, she keeps fighting her sleep in the day even though she's very tired
sad.gif
hope this is but a phase.

poochi, S@L - actually me thinks me also not suited to be SAHM. but circumstances such that I am so i try to "enjoy" ... wahahahaha ... TRY is the word here. so i salute all the SAHMs out there who do so by choice and enjoy every minute and go on to have more than 1 child!

Yany, juz saw Kyra's pix ... aiyo so sweeeeeeeeeet!!!
happy.gif
wish her namesake here has haf her hair!! hahahaha.

suzanne,
i prepared his lunch n dinner n brought them out in 2 thermos flask. I fed him breakfast at the hotel, usually yogurt/bread/pancake/waffle, it depends on what they are serving. I also gave him snacks n bread during the day.
 
K@ye,
her rashes slowly subsiding, and she is almost back to normal, playful as ever. phew. Can I collect next wk fr u fr Bedok or somewhere along the east?

dreamer,
ZY still naps as normal leh.. 2 times a day, total not more than 4 hours.

happy,
i can fully comprehend what u mean, cos when i bring ZY out myself, i will be thinking of going home soon.. ha. But i will rather do that instead of cooping up at home whole day.
 
kittybride,

At least you had your daytrip planned. We did a last minute thing arrived there at 2pm!!!! Only managed to catch the 4pm Hawk show. Actually that is quite typical of us, we tend to do things on a whim and will pack the whole family off somewhere for a last minute day trip/show/outing!
 
WRT tomorrow's gathering at Regent Hotel:

This is my first time meeting you gals so I dun have any of your handphone numbers to call in case I get lost or something. I dun even know where at the hotel exactly to meet you. Would the organizer pls PM me your number? Thanks...
 
happy..ya so apt. exactly how i felt when i took care of Mischa myself. even till now i always wake up 'regretting' not sleeping early cos aft putting 2 kiddos to bed, i finally can update my blogs, surf web, etc...then so fast midnight already.

i think things will be worse if u hv more than 1 kiddo without helper...hahaha...but ya the joy of seeing them smile and happy is worth all these.

Dreamer, actually ur 'kind' of SAHM i envy le...hehehe. cos hv full support of being a SAHM and can 'travel' the world. for me hubby nt very supportive me being a SAHM - tats why i m a WAHM
happy.gif


ya Mischa sleeps very little nowdays...and so active climbing up and down, wants attention. hope she can start walking by herself soon at least i dun hv to keep watching her every steps.
 
dreamer, happy, s@L,
feel the same abt what you all wrote abt yr experience, even though i am not a full-fledged SAHM. really can't do much while baby is out and about exploring the whole house. sometimes i just seem to count down the next activity to do (ie. feeding / bath / nap). i work 3 days and look forward to see her in the days i'm at home, then i blank out on what to do.
actually, i bring Eliza out very often, till she's so 'flower leg'...will scream at us if we go out without her...then again, i think it's usually when i'm the one going out. :S

dreamer,
Eliza's nap duration quite erratic, it also depends on whether she's at home or outside. she usually naps about 30-45mins outside. At home she can sleep longer..as long as 2hrs (esp. if we had a long day out the previous day), longer if i sleep with her. she went thru a phase when she was sleeping only 30mins every nap.

see ya mums tmr, those who are going for the high tea!
happy.gif
 
Kat, ah... shd not be a problem passing the stuff to u at Bedok.. But gotta check my schedule first coz of mth end closing..

Still in office at this moment!

Dreamer, yup as our gals grow older, they tend to nap less usually its like 1-2 times in a day.
 
happy, ur post is exactly how I felt during Matt's 1st 3 mths. So I think i am kinda happier now that I am back at work, even though this does not take away the fact that I am still rushing everywhr every day... But I guess it allows some "sanity" time for me.

ueno, wil be joining for the high tea ard 2 plus. Haiz, last min have a lunch appt with my ex colleagues, which i have tried unsuccessfully to reschedule. Not sure if i will be too full to eat at the high tea. Gosh I am eating so much since I came back... haha...

dreamer, matt still takes 3 naps a day, ranging from 30 min to 1 hr 30 min each time. But he is super active.

My ILs subtly "insisted" that Matt stays with them for a few days. I tried to get out of it unsuccessfully for Matt but hinted it was too troublesome for me to pack to move over to her place since I hv already unpacked everythg at my mum's place. My MIL "faint" when she saw how active matt is. He is really unbelievable. He was already lowering his head and crawling under our coffee table and dining table/ chairs in SH. He act did it again at my ILs place. Then my FIL was trying to mop the floor, Matt followed after him non stop. They almost fainted. I left their place after I saw Matt slept. Wonder how Matt will behave tomorrow. haha...
 
K@ye,
aiyo.. so late liao. cant work fr home meh?

tinkabel,
ZY also can hi-5 Matt liao, she has already crawled under/on top our coffe table (super low kind) so i can imagine yr IL's face if they r not used to such scenes.. haha
 
Just finished showering and now goin to de clutter my brain for a while b4 going to sleep!

Tinkabel, its like that one.. But once they see the true mischieveous nature of my little ones, they will regret... Enjoy SG food while u can lah... Later back in SH, u will regret again for not eating more!

Kat, my co dun practise work from home one lah. I worked till my hamburg colleagues also knocked off liao... So sianz!
 
Yany My boys only take beef and gravy and I have to mix it with porridge. Chicken with vegetables I also have to mix with porridge which he takes some time to finish ;o) tried him on spaghetti n beef but he spit them all out! Fussy boy leh... Sometime i resort to feeding him cereal cos he likes cereal

Ueno, thanks for that, waffles and pancake is a v good idea for breakfast. You know the peads here tell me I can feed my boy cheerios, meatloaf, lean ground beef, bread with margarine and jam, my eyes just went bigger and bigger. I'm so used to feeding him porridge as his staple.

Happy, thanks for sharing gosh I have to constantly remind myself sometimes that he will only need me now when he grows up, he wouldn't need me to feed, bath, carry him anymore so I guess we ought to treasure them while they are young.

I guess I'll need time to adapt to being a SAHM when I was at work I could go for lunch breaks, shopping, just come back from work, and play with my boy awhile then he'll ZZZ... now,I have to sleep when he sleeps and eat when he ok to be alone. And it dosen't make it any easier that he cannot be by himself any longer than a few minutes.

Ran out of ideas to do with him mainly, watch a bit of TV, read books, play with toys.... Go out to the supermarket cos there is not many places to go around here and the weather is soooo hot I can't bring him for afternoon walks. I hope the weather changes soon.
 
cactus, the BD party we went was held in fruits room. It's big and nice. The weather's perfect. I am sure logistic wise, it'll be ok.

ash is still sleeping! we're supposed to start infant care this morn!!

ladies, enjoy your hi-tea
happy.gif


ash walked 17 steps yesterday
happy.gif
happy.gif
 
Dreamer, jus 1-2 more yrs and u'll be "free" cos when they r ard 3 and more independant u can slowly get back ur life. As for napping and crying my girl recently started to cry/whine more and also wen she naps, I suspect its her teeth dats irritating her. As for naps she zzz lesser in the am nap but afternoon naps r still abt 1.5-2hrs unless we're out.

langlao, clap clap for ash.
