qingling/dor
have a safe trip and hope you'll hv no problem with your milking logistics
garfield
can understand you'll miss your A big time if you gotta be away. i always envy frens/colleagues who are able to go on biz trips. if i ever get a chance, wonder if i'll bear to leave my 2 kids in singapore (for my gal, i make sure i see her everyday - cos she stays with my mum during weekday).
Re: Coach
wow, didn't know there're so many coach fans here. hee.. me too am one
Re: sucking of thumb
my niece in law is still tend to suck her thumb (she's trying to get rid of the habit completely) tho she's coming to 5 yrs old. hence, was rather concern with bb sucking thumb. but i do agree the part on letting bb self soothe by sucking their fist/thumb. so i'll just play by ear.

hi mommies
haven't had a chance to check the forum whole day...
been waiting for girl to wake up for milk but she's still zzzzzzz........so i had no choice, gotta pump..
to all the bbs who were hospitalised, i felt so sad when i read the posts, so little and they had to go thru so much
hope they all better already and back to their cute happy selves.
Gar
I think bbs are very intelligent. They know that we're away for long hours and wanna play with us when we ard. My MIL says that whenever it's near evening time, when the door opens, Kate will scan the entrance to see who. The other day I cant come home in time to latch, she got so upset seeing that it's just daddy who returned, no mommy! bawl and bawl!! and her milk intake will decrease towards evening, i think maybe cos she wants to latch. sigh...it's really sweet but i'm worried her intake will dip too low. and at nite, she figured if she wakes up and smile at us, she can get some playtime with us. aiyo...
work trips
boss asked me to go on work trip to iran. i dun wanna appear unprofessional and say no but i really dunno how to figure out the whole pumping business. it's more than 10 hrs and all day meetings, how to lug the pump ard and pump? and then it's iran leh!! will it be haram to keep milk in the hotel freezer? dunno if i can convince the hotel to help me like jeannie did in taiwan...*dilemma* if go, bb bu shi miss until xiao??? dunno if my mom/mil can cope or not...already nowadays when i can't leave work, bb so mang zhang and wanna see me.

good morning mummies,
dor,
wish you a safe trip to chiangmai.
re: bb eating fist
my gal too. she will aim her fist slowly placing them near her mouth.
there was a time my hb holding her fist and she aim so hard and cannot move her hands. in the end she bend her head down to aim for them.
her eyes nearly become crossed eye. HAHA...
re: CB spree
that's funny.
I just received an email from UPS tell me that my parcel from Vitaglo has shipped out.
It's 16.5 lbs.
Checked my credit card, there's a transaction of about USD 188 whereby my order is about USD 223.
I think Vitaglo only shipped part of my order.
I will temporarily hold on the LV order and see what's missing from Vitaglo.
Hope you all understand.

bkk,
awwwwwwww....kate is so sweet!
you must be in such a great dilemma! how long is the trip to iran? any chance to make it REAAAAALY short? how long is the flight? which airline are you taking? dont'think SQ flies there direct, if not i may be able to leverage my old contacts to help you store the milk on board.
re bbs knowing they don't see us much in the day. yeah, i was wondering why arielle always cries when i come home from work - then realized that actually she's crying to latch *stupid mummy* and yes, at night arielle will keep smiling at us too...even when changing diapers. part of me wants to play with her, and the other part needs sleep.

Garfield (and all other mums who will find this useful), I came across this and it got stuck in my head, I find it so true. Hope it helps you feel a little better about the tiredness.
"A year from now you won't remember exactly how hard it was. You'll remember that it was one of the toughest times of your life, but the minute details will mercifully blur! All you'll remember is being tired, and the love. The love stays with you, its an investment you're making now."
When you think you cant do it, remember that you are already doing it. Its really true, for me.

hi all,
sorry ah, got question about the medishield claim.
I searched the cpf website and used the calculator. the result is:
There will be no MediShield payment for this hospital bill because the maximum amount you can claim from MediShield is less than the deductible. The deductible is the minimum amount that you would need to pay in any policy year when you make a claim.
so what does that mean ah?

stephie, oh , my son is definitely covered under the scheme but the hospital staff said no claim. so i checked the cpf website, it said the amt is less than deductible. so think i cant claim lor.
btw, why does your gal stay with ur mum? you mean temporary only or after you manage to take care of both your kids?
jeannie, you said your milk thawed a bit liao, so do you still keep them back to freezer when you are back to SG?

tongtong,
i vadely remember that medishield has a deductible/co-insurance portion that for each bill, only amount greater than the deductible portion is claimable.
if i remember clearly, the deductible for medishield is normally $2000. which means, the first $2000 has to be paid by cash.
you bill is $1900, falls below the deductible amount.
hence, it's not claimable.
Due to this deductible/co-insurance, I bought another insurance with AIA - Pink of Health.
It helps to cover the deductible/co-insurance portion so that I don't need to fork out cash. On top of that, I have some other benefits e.g., compensation for hospitalisation, etc.

read this from jan's thread. so touching and sad
xiaoyun, have you enquired anyone about donating EBM to sichuan bb
A touching true story from the Si Chuan disaster , a mother’s LOVE
抢救人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被垮塌下来的房子压死的，透过那一堆废墟
的的间隙可以看到她死亡的姿势，
When rescuers found her, she was already dead, crushed by the collapsed
house. Through gaps in the rubbles, they could see her posture.
双膝跪着，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶着地支撑着身体，有些象古人行跪拜礼，只
是身体被压的变形了，看上去有些诡异。
Kneeling on both knees, her entire upper body bent forward, held up by her
two hands pressed against the ground, as if performing the ceremonial bow in an ancient ritual.
Except, her body had been compressed out of shape and looked somewhat eerie.
救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已经死亡，又在冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍
在在砖头上敲了几下，里面没有任何回应。
A rescuer extended his hand through a gap and confirmed her death. He
called out to her, and tapped on the bricks with his shaft, but received
no response.
当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊"快过来"。他又来
到她的尸体前，费力的把手伸进女人的身子底下摸索，
As the team walked toward next building, the squad leader suddenly turned back, yelling as he ran,
"Come quick!" He came to her remain, labored to maneuver his hand under her body, searching.
他摸了几下高声的喊"有人，有个孩子 ，还活着"。
He called out following some rummaging, "There's someone, a child, still alive."
经过一番努力，人们小心的把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺着她的孩
子，包在一个红色带黄花的小被子里，大概有3、4个月大， With some effort,
rescuers carefully removed the debris burying her, found her child lying
beneath her, bundled in a little red blanket decorated with yellow flower
prints. He was about 3-4 months old.
因为母亲身体庇护着，他毫发未伤，抱出来的时候，他还安静的睡着，他熟睡的脸让
所有在场的人感到很温暖。
Shielded by his mother's body , he was totally unharmed, sleeping
peacefully as he was brought out. His soundly asleep face warmed the
hearts of all rescuers on the scene.
随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意
识的看了下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信
As the rescue team's doctor unbundled the blanket to examine the baby, he
discovered a mobile phone tucked into the blanket. He subconsciously
looked at the display, found there was a SMS message.
"亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你"，看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一
刻落泪了，手机传递着，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。
"My Dear Baby, If you were to stay alive, you must remember that I love
you." No stranger to the pain and sorrow brought by death, the doctor
nonetheless wept at this moment. The cell phone was passed around, every
person who read the message wept.

tong,
so touching *sniff*
xiaoyun,
thanks so much for the detailed explanation. i have a vpost account, but not a comgateway one. is vpost more ex?
berry,
really appreciate the encouragement. it's very true. i felt much better yesterday and calmer. could enjoy arielle a lot more as a result.
i keep reminding myself that time will fly past and she is growing bigger and bigger everyday. so all the experiences now are only transient and we will be left with only memories very soon. so i should cherish every moment, even though i'm really tired at times. made hb whip out his video cam to film all the everyday moments...like wiping her down at the end of the day, rocking her to sleep etc. cos these moments are as priceless as her achieving developmental milestones like flipping etc.
jeannie,
ya lor, now i trying to siam the trips by not reminding my boss about it hee hee

re: donating frozen ebm
tongtong,
Elaine from Breastfeeding Mothers' Support Group replied me saying that she will let the committee know about our intention.
No news from her so far.
re: AIA pink of health
goodgal,
i can't remember how much i paid already. bought healthshield, pink of health and ILP for her.
healthshield is deduct from my medisave. pink of health and ILP is by cash.
you can take up the pink of health alone from AIA w/o healthshield. but the premium will be higher.
the medishield by CPF is by NTUC. NTUC also has the 'incomeshield' serve the same purpose as 'pink of health'.
but the NTUC coverage is not international. hence, i get from AIA.
