brazilian waxing
piglettail, garfield, wanna go for it again? rem last time we all chickened out just before EDD. heehee.
Babies growing so fast
I wish time could stop for us. They realli grow so quick. My girl has outgrown so many of her clothes already. They change every day and just thinking of missing out on her "firsts" makes me sad but yet, I can't imagine being a SAHM. I'll be intellectually and emotionally poorer if I stayed home yet I know that if I went to work, I'll miss her. What a dilemma!!! Tough being a mom huh?

napless babies
mine belonged to the club too in her early days. I rem I was so desperate bcos as long as she doesn't nap, I can't do anything else, can't even shower or eat. I slowly train her to nap by re-enacting her bedtime ritual - dark room, a/c, swaddle, static noise and shh/pat her to sleep. nowadays she has been taking 3 naps a day.
i find that if she can nap well in the day, she can sleep well at night

i am home alone with bb. in the morning when i woke up, i would put all the ingredients and boil to make soup. then, around 11am+/12pm+ after feeding bb, i would boil the soup again and put the mee/mee suah, then my lunch is done!
can measure when bb is sleeping.

dor's pouch sling looks more sturdy and durable. ur stretch cotton is thick? u tried putting bb into it in wat position. i think if you try the upright position (kangaroo style), should be ok leh. but now their necks not strong yet, so cannot carry using that way first.
oh, the moment i saw the sling, i'll associate it with the link you posted earlier which teaches how to sew your own pouch.

re: pouch sling
stephie,
i tried cradle position. yup, my hb says bb may like kangaroo style more. bb neck still not strong.
i regretted choosing the stretch cotton - khaki color. it's thick and khaki color makes me look like a monk when wearing the sling (dor, hope you don't blame me for that)
will probably go and sew one with the cloth that i like. haven't got time to shop for cloth yet. let you know if i successfully make 1 in few months' time.
garfield,
congrates on your ss back to normal.

re maternity insurance,
it's something offered by my company. meant for expats one, but they extended to local staff. they pay for all pregnancy and delivery expenses up to USD10K. so instead of using medisave, i claim all my expenses thru this insurance.

pinkie, I'm a sahm to my bb(2mths) and my 3.5yo DD without help. Food-wise, advance planning helps. Plan a whole week's menu so that you dont have to worry about what to eat/cook. And try to prepare nutritious but v easy stuff like sandwiches and crockpot soups/stews. Sandwiches can be prepared at night when hb is ard and left in the fridge if you wrap it well. For cooking, ingreds can be chopped/washed in advance and kept wrapped in fridge. When bb naps, try to do everything you have to before you rest. for marketing, if you use a bb carrier, you can be handsfree so can push supermarket trolley. otherwise do it on a weekend with hb? Its all about practise, the more you try/do, the better/faster you'll be.
lezy, bb carrier- hmm no leh, I fnd the bjorn quite okie, dont feel that the diaper area is warm.
winnie, try and look ard for a good second-hand deal on Bjorn if you can, maybe can convince your hb hehe.

for me, i didn't do anything. it stopped after about 3 or 4 mths later. luckily, i didn't get bald...
people said it's all because of the hormone. some said 'cos we didn't wash hair during confinement. lots of hear say. the actual reason, i am not too sure. but i believe in the hormone explanation loh. 'cos during pregnant, i rarely dropped any hair... so, after delivery, those 'old' hair should drop after hormone went back to normal loh.

so happy !! today my son drank 85ml from bottle...the most so far although he cried afterwards but i think it's because he's sleepy so offer him pacifier and off he sleeps...
garfield,
congrats...you're lucky leh...can claim from insurance...
p1nk1e,
eventhough i got a maid but i do the cooking and i do it all in the morning...so i get up at 6, prepare all ingredients (takes me at most half an hour) and cook mostly stir fries...and then around 11am will turn on rice cooker. i eat rice + side dishes everyday
some tips which i find useful for me :
1)cook more extra meat dishes during weekends and keep in freezer so that i dun have to cook so many dishes during weekday
2)plan weekly menu and every weekend i do stock check to see what i have then i'll go market and shop for the ingredients for the week. i try to make the menu for 1 week using similar ingredients so that i dun store the vegies too long in fridge
3)buy fresh meat during weekend and freeze them for weekday usage but i cut them first so that it's easier to cook i.e. no need to wait to thaw the meat before cooking..
hope these tips can help you a bit

ya i'm very thankful to coy for introducing this insurance. and timing was good cos they rolled it out only in jan08!!
to all SAHMs,
me salute all of you too!! especially those without domestic help =P inspiration to me =)
bkkgal,
thanks! only first day of week *hee hee* see if the 5ml decrease per day will kick in tmw or not. any news on your half day?
agree fully with what you shared about babies growing so quickly. i was just going thru some "old" photos of arielle when she was < 1 month old. sooooooooooo tiny then compared to now. it's not been that long ago, but i have fond memories of nursing her when she was only a few days old in the KKH ward. the first time i looked into her eyes as she drank from my breast and the emotions i felt then.
i cherish BF-ing moments cos that look in her eyes as she drinks is something that will not last forever and only for as long as I BF. that's what gives me determination to sustain my ss for as long as possible.
