i think different family different thinking. a lot of factors like time, $$, and who takes care of your #2 or #3...
i think 3yr gap is good enuff for me...1-2yr too rush and #1 will not be old enough to understand the new inclusion; 4-5yr too far, when they grow up got age gap cannot relate to one another
just my personal preference

pixie,
normal procedure is bb to remain in icu for 4hrs for observation, if everything ok, they'll lower the icu level. when i delivered my girl, there was another mother who delivered her girl at 35wks, 1.95kg...bb had breathing probs too but in the end she only discharge one day later than my girl..so tell yr sis and mum dun worry too much ok?
my girl could not fit into nb clothes, she was like swimming in them, shirt like dress like that..but i still just wear nb clothes for her cos 1st month she was swaddled in blanket so didn't really matter if the clothes were too big for her.
the only thing i bought was preemie bonnets from kiddy palace, but those i gave away already to another mummy with preemie bb...
the nb clothes i still have if you want...they're just those buy from market 3 for $10 type...got short sleeve, long sleeve and long pants...

icy,
I think it depends on the children themselves, and how the parents are prepared for it. For my own, me and my elder brother 2+ years gap, we are very good friend since young. Me and my young sister 3+ year gap, fight and quarrel throughout our life which makes us very close actually. Me and my young brother 8+ years gap, he is always my little brother, and we are very close too. All 4 of us are very close to each other regardless of the age gap.

Hi mummies,
This morning that my boy did a Q&A with me, haha
I juz "bo liao" & asked him in the car "Where are we going, boy?". He really surprised me & replied instantly "Ah ma". He knew that we are heading to ah ma hse!! And next, he pointed to the door & said "open". Heehee..but we are not there yet, didn't open the car door for him. Hmm, suddenly feel that my boy has grown up!!

Wendy, shuo lai hua chang. Was planning to Rom in Dec 04, renovate flat then customary in 18 Jun 05 (2nd dating anniversary date). Who knows ILs went to ask for auspicious dates and the shifu told them the whole of 2005 after CNY (ie. Year of Rooster) is no good cos it's 'mang2 nian2' aka blind year. Weddings that happen in that year will not be good.
So ILs believe him, came back and tell my hubby that we MUST customary before CNY lor. So rushed, my mum also upset, she wanted me to delay 1 whole year and wait till 2006 and marry then. She said rush until like that to get married before CNY, wait people think I shot gun. But I don't like the idea of leaving my flat empty for more than 1 year plus I'm also not very young when I got married mah so accommodate ILs and rush lor. The contractor doing my flat also heart attack must hand over the flat back to me in 3 weeks.
Oh ya, my mini Takahi slow cooker can only on or off, no auto or keep warm function one leh. Hiaz. I must wake up and cook at 6am if I want it to be ready by 8am. Duh...
QQ, that's good. Anyway, just be more careful and kiasu there lor. Have a good trip.
Steph, don't be sad. I also buy Goldlion for my hubby. My first bd present to him was a Goldlion leather wallet and key pouch set. Since Jan 04, more than 5 years and he's still using and never spoil. Want to buy new one for him also cannot. Goldlion like my hubby leh, not the most sexy brand around, maybe some find it a bit ah pek, but trustworthy and reliable. Definitely a keeper. hehehe.
Icy, guys are all like that. My hubby also told me "this one like that, you still want to have another one ah?". Then I told him if want to give birth, must have 2 (cos I don't want RaeAnne to be only child). If wait too long, I don't want because
1a) I'm not getting any younger. If I wait and I end up not conceiving like my friend who has been trying for more than 5 years to have her no. 2. Her no. 1 is now in Primary 3. Went through so many rounds of IVF also never succeed.
1b) Plus if after 35, baby normal of course happy, but if bb is not normal and I'll have to face the emotional decision of what to do after that. I'll feel very guilty and definitely regret why I didn't have the baby earlier instead of ending up with high risk pregnancy.
2) If wait for too long, I'll be 'nua' to start all over again, the BF, night duties, not being able to travel/go shopping etc, no social life etc. Plus the overall down time will be longer, like Wendy mentioned.
3) If I wait too long, afraid RaeAnne will not be able to adjust having a sibiling cos she is too used to being the queen of the house and won't want to share. I know of a 5 year old boy who tells everyone he meets that his 'mei mei' is for sale, and he'll quote the highest price to different pp so that the aunty or uncle will take his mei mei away.

Icy,
Dun tink too much on the #1 & #2 age gap. Juz "try naturally", sometimes the more u want, the longer it takes to conceive. Another Kam here to encourage mummy to have #2 & #3, haha ^.^

mylvera, JanBB, ya lor, when hubby told me I also told him, surely there must be SOME DATE in 2005 that was suitable for us? But what to do, my ILs very straight one, shifu say no good then they ask us to totally avoid lor. But well, my MIL strike toto and 4d shortly after we got married so the dates they chose must be GOOD FOR THEM lor.
Until now, I joke with my hubby that we must renew our wedding vows so that I can choose new wedding date myself. Then our kids can be flower gals/boy. ;P

mylvera,
Ya, though we are members of the zoo now, and don't have to pay for the entrance fee, but hor, with lunch, drink, rides, photos, etc, ended still have to spend quite some money everytime we went there
Pixie,
Cook something easy in the morning. Don't have to be porridge all the time mah. Last week I boiled some sweet potato and brought to the zoo. My boy loves it more than his usual porridge, also something different for the outing. Think of something that can be prepared and cooked within 30min or less. Bring some fruits and biscuits also.

Haha, JanBB, ya lor, nowadays when I see Bridal magazine, still got the urge to buy and 'beow' the wedding gowns lar. Cos when I was getting married, everything was so rushed that I didn't enjoy the process, working lar (hubby teacher so day time not free to make decision one). Everyone was calling me, and I was trying to settle 2 receptions (ROM plus customary), choose bridal salon, rent wedding car, choose wedding flowers, look for photographer/videographer plus 1st & 2nd appt at HDB, house renovation, choosing tiles, toilet stuff, shop for furniture, shop for electrical appliances etc.

Hi Kam,
I undertand how you feel. Cos My Elias also has very bad break out of ezemma. Like yours plus his back has many many one dot dot in a whole family range. QUite jialat. My ped gave Fucicort and Elmoet b4.. I use not more then 2 days cos its steriod based cream so not recommened for child too young.. So I actually change all his prodcut to organic ones, including jar food and biscuits .. Cut on eggs too.. Dr say Elias need more organic/hypoallergic stuff due to his ezemma and heat rash skin.
Again, it may be inheritary cos I myself has childhood ezemma and asmatha. SO need take extra care of ELias cos people say ezeema and allergy must take care properly or can lead to asmatha. Esp I myself has child hood asmatha Now cleared.. Luckily.
So maybe you can try some organic stuff as it helps Elias a lot. ANd of cos hygine and extra cleaniness is very important too for ezemma child.. he needs a dust free enviroment.
Having a ezemma child is really expensive to maintian as you know la organic stuff really pretty ex but since its effective we dun mind lor.. Even food intake very important.

Fern,
Thanks for sharing. My PD said Hao Re condition is still not that bad. So I will do what he recommended, and see how it goes. Will try organic if needs be. These 2 days seems to be improved a lot, as in he didn't scratch that much and sleeps very well at night.
How's Elias now? Clear off the rashes already? Yes, my PD said if family members have asthma then child will have higher chance of having eczema.
Saw your photos in malacca. Nice break for you eh, without bringing Elias with you

re: durian
I did ask my gynae about it for my #1, since both of us didnt gain much weight. He told me that weight will all go to me and hard to lose, not much impact on baby, in other words, dont even think about trying. So I never once I hear all the weight will go to me. But I still eat, but not big feast though.
icy, me and my sis, big gap 6 years. so basically nothing much to talk about since, I primary school she kindy, then I sec she primary. Only recent years, we became very close, so kinda regret missing out all those years that we could have each other for company, but the thing is really nothing to share and talk about lo, since our gap is so big. But now we are like best of friends. So thats why I always feel gap not too big would be better. When I was growing up before my sis came along, really quite lonely, no one to play with, then talk also talk to myself, then go playground, genna bully by those with siblings. But really, jus take things naturally else too stress also no good for u

JanBB, hahaha, idea man, I like! If hubby not keen, then I'll take photo with my little gal dressed up as flower gal. But I think I need more photoshop work liao, saggy boobs and fine lines. You think the wedding salon will entertain us 'siao char bo' or not?
Hehe, mylvera, you reminded me, must start hinting to my hubby for my push present too. But I'll wait until know the gender first.
I don't like to stay in harbour leh, the mice always steal my cheese, somemore not just 1 piece. :/

mylvera,
My SIL is also expecting her #3, due in Oct. Same as you, her #1 and #2 are boys, and they are 3 years apart. Strangely, they both don't "click" at all, both of them have totally different characters. #1 refused to play with #2, and vise versa. #1 often said he doesn't like didi. #2 also bo chap type, very quiet, don't like to interact with poeple, enclose to his own world, now >2 years old already, still doesn't want to speak a single word (only says mama and baba rarely). #1 really doesn't like his didi, but he loves Hao Re, so it's more like #2 problem. Now #1 knows my SIL is expecting, so he WARNS his mum - mummy, I definitely don't want a didi, you must give me a meimei, okay!. My SIL super stress! At least you don't have this set of problems with your 2 boys.
