pixiepixel, can understand, when my girl sick, I also worry and end up whole night sleep but dont really feel recharge in the morning.
JanBB, initially I did feel the bubbles, then after that as tum tum gets bigger and rounder, the feeling no more. Think second one for me now, the tummy very big
Think after #2, got to go on major diet, else no more excuse to be looking so fat. No le, my #1 came late by 2 days, so not sure if #2 will be as late as well or earlier, but I dont mind 27 Jul which is my EDD, coz its our ROM anni.
mylife, not true for me la, coz my girl not colicky le, but initially she did breathe very loud, like the chest got alot of fluid, but doc says ok nothing, lungs are cleared. But my frens all commented their babies also never breathe so loud. So I will jokely say, maybe my girl got smaller nose.
blessedbaby, I change afew, but then find that never enough to put all my stuff, currently I using lesport tote bag, but very heavy if got alot of bottles.
hammies03, I give steam egg, scrabble eggs but cook very thoroughly and chawan mushi when we eat out, besides hard boil eggs.

I did not have water retention until the very last week of my pregnancy when my ankles started to swell, so everyone around started saying anytime now anytime now. But still waited till overdue. I think I must be the most jialat, I walk alot and squat alot, did prenatal yoga, end up my labour also super long. My baby only very light but I already need vacuum to deliver her. Imagine if this one is heavier, think I can cry already.
QQ,
Nice name 雨桐 for TT!!
Grumpus,
I respect your choice.
Just some info for those who are interested, if don't boil/cook the egg fully, the bacteria may not been killed yet. Apart from salmonella, there are other species of bacteria too, though salmonella is the most deadly one. It doesn't matter if the egg is from farm or kampung, an egg is an egg, it's very nutritious thus bacteria grows well in it.
Wendyg gave a good example - Prime Deli case. In fact, when adult get affected, most likely the result is similar as a food poisoning, diarhare, vomit, take antibiotics, it's cured. But in the young children, their body may be reacting badly to the infection.
Young toddler doesn't know to differentiate half-cooked or fully-cooked egg. Only adult differentiates it.

yeah today i just went to a montessori presch to take a look... the branch admin mentioned teaching them to focus.. i think the small tchr-student ratio is fantastic.. but their waiting list also fantastic... abt 1 yr.... not to mention their monthly fees $800 after subsidy *faintz*. Parents here really willing to splurge on their kids... this kind of industry is recession proof!!!!

Wendy,

mylvera, if it works then my #1 would have come out on the 28th of Jan instead of 30th of Jan lo. Plus gave me such a hard time during my pregnancy and delivery also.
wendyg, no la, diaper bag la.
JanBB, hmmm Jayne? Janelle? Names are such a headache, my girl is Gwyneth, if we stick to G for a boy, not many choices and also generally we dont like. If its another girl, G also few. Since we struck off all those we dont like before deciding on Gwy, so imagine if we give the 2nd choice to #2, like not very fair. Once I know the gender then I will choose. We more or less already chose the names for the boy and girl already, or rather my hubbie already decided.

welcome back! long time never see u around liao. For my bed, i pushed it all the way to the window bay/ledge. Then i bought a Humanity Pillow designed specially for cosleeping babies and placed it there to prevent baby from rolling to the window bay. Rylee sleeps next to the bay (with the pillow as a barrier), i sleep in the middle, and hubby sleep the other end. At the foot of the bed, i put bed guard/rail (those metal kind that slides under ur mattress) and place a long bolster to cushioned it. During daytime naps (when hubby and i not around to act as barrier on the other end), i fold my quilt and place 2 pillows to act as some sort of barrier. But i also placed a video monitor at the bed head to watch her while i'm outside. When she wakes up and sit up, i can see and goes in before she has a chance to roll off bed. This was done since she was 6mths old, so now, when she wakes up, she will guai-guai sits there playing with her blankie and wait for us to come in. I know what u mean on Jude doing a back flip. Rylee used to do that too, thinking she'll hit the mattress. Once, she part of her head hit the window bay...cried like mad. I was sooo worried. Now i placed her former cot mattress plus her playpen mattress to cushion the bay.
Food for Baby
I'm very vexed now in giving food for my gal. She's becoming more and more fussy. Got one period still take porridge, now total refusal. People say baby dont want dont force feed, she must be not hungry...but when i feed her rice, she will lapped it up. Whole afternoon, cooked mee sua, porridge, she refused. Asked one of my PD in HK about giving outside food (which contains salt and MSG), but this PD very chinchai one. Told me salt and msg is not that evil. Got good side of it ie it makes the food tastier, hence baby will eat more *faint*. He reminded me didnt my mom give me soya sauce added to my porridge last time? Aint i fine now? Sigh. I was aiming to "graduate" Rylee to adult table food only when she's 18-24mths. Now seems like gonna have to bring forward cos she only interested to eat our food. Reject all baby food. She has this habit of pulling EVERYTHING out from her mouth that we just fed her (with her hand), examine it and if she likes it, will put it back in. Inevitably, if it's porridge we just shoved in, and she opens her mouth, out comes everything! Down her top, her finger, her mouth. Tried letting her self feed, but she doesnt know how to scoop, end up play with the bowl and fling everything off! She's only good in self feed finger food. Any babies can feed themselves liao (from the bowl?)
And i'm running out of ideas of what to feed her. So boring everytime steam fish/minced pork for her leh. Soup always feed her carrot/potato as veg intake.

Congrats on success of sleep training!
I probably cant do it cos cannot bear to let her cry.

JanBB
I agree with Luca...dont limit with J lo. Actually, i read before that it's a bit unfair naming #2 to match #1's name. Some kids actually grow up hating their name and feeling their names were like a "sidekick" cos elder bro/sis had the same alphabet, hence they have to have the same....no identity of their own. Having said that, i also want to match hehehehe
Eggs
I give Rylee eggs in the form of scrambled eggs, add to make French Toast (for bfast) or add to minced pork for dinner with rice.

i bought the Kate Spade diaper bag when they have 50% discount and i love it! I like the soft cushioning. And the zip in the middle keeps my wallet/valuables safe but the compartments is open to enable easy access. My hubby says this is the prettiest diaper bag, look very stylish.
Wendy
Kate Spade is diaper BAG lah...not new brand of diaper. Hohohoho

mylife, JanBB, well, my hubbie is obsessed with the name Kiefer, so he wants to name his boy, see ah, the way he phrased it was his boy, not our boy k, Kiefer. But I prefer Ethan. So we say we will both go look around for other names and see if we can come to a consenses. If you realised, if we name our boy Kiefer, then end up both of them all named after actress and actors, which was not what we set out to, but rather I like the meaning before Gwyneth. Then for girls, I am looking at Vera. kekeke, this time its mummy thats obsessed with the name.
Then if its chinese it will be either 凯something for the boy or 颎something for the girl, since my girl is call 颎 乐. Then my hubbie also obsessed with the word 乐, so maybe if its a boy, end up call 乐凯, I wont be surprised lo. But all will depends on the gender before we finalized.
I wanted to find same alphabet one, but then I agree with mylife lo, else #2 like #1's side kick. So prob will find the chinese name to link instead of english name to link.
