RE: Terrible Two
Thanks to all advises. I will try to explain more to him. And keep him time to cool down, this tantram just start so perhaps he also need time to cool off.
cadaly,
Planning for HK trip. I think it is cheaper to book direct now. Cos there is a 25% off for early birds for the disneyland hotels. (http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/special/listing?name=EarlyBirdHotelOfferPage) Just have to book 21 days advance. I am also planning my HK trip in Nov.

Icy: When my girl "tried" to cry or get our attention, we will not ignore her. One thing I always tell my gal is that CRY IS NOT WORKING FOR MUMMY, so you have to tell mummy what you want so mummy can help you. And to my surprises, she will come and take me to where she needs my help. It works.
If she can't play with a certain toys/ games, I or my hubby will surely sit down and help her. It's easy for us, but not for her. We will play with her until she is familiar with the toys and also explain to her when we are playing.
I cross my fingers coz till now, my girl is pretty calm and easy to manage. ;-)
Try to get yourself involve with your boy more since you are a SAHM. It's worth it.

Icy:
If we know that something is dangerous, we will certainly say NO. And you know, my girl, if we say NO with firm voice, she will cry so what we do, we will say NO, NO, NO with singing tone. ;-) Funny right, but it works and my girl actually gets the message and gives up with a smile. ;-)
The one thing I see it's important is everybody in the house must agree on something when comes to "discipline" kids.
For example, when my girl tries to "test" our limit by allowing herself into the kitchen, we will ask her: Who is in the kitchen? Then imme she will step out of her forbidden zone and will not make any noise. We always don't allow her to be in the kitchen nor toilet except changing her nappy or bathe time.
When I say no to her when she is crying, my hubby will not give her comfort or hug- he will tell my girl: mummy says no, you have to listen to mummy or vice versa.
So far, she gets what we mean very well.
The next important thing is try to explain alot and alot to your boy. You will be amazed how he can understand you. ;-)

tongtong; our part is one thing, but I think my girl is very co-operative. ;-)
By the way, where do you work? I can pass your swimsuit to Lyn coz she is working at raffle place. If you come to my Eastern place, it will not be so convenient for you?

blessedbaby... your gal so "guai" very good for u...
my boy is only scared of his dad cos he will talk to him sternly...or scold him if he doesnt listen. sometimes he even cry and seek comfort with granny and granny will bring him away ! which is not right cos we are displining our child now. He might think that he has protection from granny !
I really believe bad/good behavious must be cultivated since young ! Dont ever think that they are still young wont understand you but u will be suprised how much they understand at that tender age !

Steph,
Thanks for your concern. I am always the late sleeper type lah so every sleeping at 12am+ is quite common. In fact, it is already much better when I was single and I used to sleep 1am or 2am. Hahahha..
Re: Piles
Thanks all mummies! Today feeling lesser pain so I guess the cream does worked. So continue to apply diligently and eating all my diarrhea, piles, pre-natal pills. I am eating like 10 types of pills each time! Very tiring. But main point is to make my diarrhea stop so that it will not worsen my piles again.
Re: Mylvera's WW3
Really don't know what to say about your ILs leh... They are really so "Xiao Qi" and calculative like trying to get reward from you and your DH for looking after your kids for 3 years. Aren't parents supposed to be "Wei Da" and "Wu Si" and willing to give all their love to their children and grandchildren???
Mylvera, I just can only say "Jia You" and most imptly is hubby and you are on the same side, supporting each other. Lastly, remember not to get angry too much. Or your gal inside will feel unhappy too.
Kam,
Maybe you would like to consider a 2nd-hand pump or ask if anyone can borrow? Although Ameda pump is good but I think it is sort of expensive (unless you don't mind the cost)... But if you plan on #3, then can invest on a new pump?

Hi mommies
just a quick question...anyone of u who hv boys clothings would like to donate it to a fren of mine? She's due to give birth in Dec. Finances quite tight so I'm helping her to ask around...can anyone help? I'd love to but mine all girls clothings...thanks! She'd take any sizes

went to United Square today after BF my gal, to get the Ameda pump, on offer at Moms R Us, selling at $338 (UP $388, I think). But ran out of stock, gonna wait till next week then they will deliver to me. So for the time being, still have to use my Avent pump lor.
Steph / krystle,
Thanks for suggesting to buy 2nd hand pump. But we think get new one better, a few hundreds should be well spent since it helps to keep my supply up

Mylvera,
think this is some sort like a sacrifice u and ur hubby got to make for the future of ur kid s and urself. U r brave enuff to face the situation at this time esp when u r preggie. i understand that if we leave our kids to our parents'/in-laws' care, we cant expect too much or rather expect our kids to grow up as the way they are if they are under our own care. I also feel upset with both my mum and mil at times when they pamper Javier too much or "accidently" taught him the wrong habits, for own mum...will feedback to her but for mil...will inform her thro hubby's mouth most of the time. If u think they really did a bad job, it is better for them to leave in my opinion. Our kids will be with us longer then our parents or in-laws...(even my mum understand and second this fact so she always leave the best to her grandson). Let ur in-laws cool down for this period of absence bah. Mayb they will still visit occasionally when cool down and understand ur point. U and hubby don't blame urself for this ok. Take good care and have a smooth delivery.
Apologies if I sounded too straight and offending.

Kam,

Kitsune,

Krystle,
Most prob will go brave and go for surgery if specialist recommend to. Hubby say he will support me and "lun" the pain for me. As if it is really going to happen. Ur hubby fully recovered and no more problem now?

Verene,
Yes, my hubby has fully recovered and the doc said should not have much problem from now on as long he follow his instructions. Nowadays he is taking his daily "big biz" easy rather than before, always forced them out every morning.
Go and see GP and get referred to Specialist then cheaper. Then see what the Specialist say. But hubby went for the "stapling" method which is more effective and piles will not re-occur that much. If you just cut it (like my colleague), it will grow again. Then my colleague got some complications where excessive blood loss and in the end sufferred more and went to see another Specialist.

good morning everyone !
tongtong
Tate sleeps once a day. He normally wakes up around 9am or 9.30am. There were times when he will wake up 8am.
His nap time will be around 2 or 3pm until 5pm.
But no matter what, he will still take once a day nap only. The reason being if he takes twice a day nap he will end up sleeping around 12midnite !
And bedtime, either myself or the maid hv to accompany him to roll roll roll until he fall asleep. He cant sleep alone la.. he will climb the bed, walk about in the room alone leh.. so dangerous.
