[corynn]

Alice,
I had UTI before. The blood actually is clearly out those waste. Actually it's nothing to do with gynae. Normal GP doctor can be better in this. This is more to urinary tract......nothing to do with gynae. The alkali medicine taste like lime with yellow color. Very good. Of course you also hv to drink to clear out.

They are 2 thing you have to do to prevent UTI. I will pm you.

Choc,
How come Raphael looks like a gal liao. Shaine will be sad to see that ler.

Today I bought Shaine to Zoo. She is excited and exhausted.

 

[felval]

Happy Easter Friday!!! =)

ant,
hahaha. actually me like u le. v tired but cant slp. cldnt slp the whole nite, kept thinking abt wat happened the day. hehehe. the nurses in KK advised me to latch on in the day and pump out so that at nite they can cup feed damien. so my life was relatively easy..till the last nite we decided to take care ourselves so we cld get a hang of it when we get hm...since then, life has nv been the same again...hahaha.


chobits,
i requested to stay coz i was in 1 bedded ward so they ok la. u got request to stay on in the hosp? if 4 bedded cant stay extra lo coz 4 bedded is subsided ward.


jo,
wah! 1.30am still have slpt ah? Jorel keeping u awake? hw cum u also stay extra nites ah? 4k cash is alot wo..ya lo. shiok ho. ahhaha. i wonder if #2 still can stay in 1 bedded ward lo. hahha.


COrynn,
Shaine so cute!! hehehe. i like the 2nd pic. hehehe. 3rd - she must have enjoyed herself so much that she tired out =)


Its really v cute to see babies walking with their parents holding them. So today, we try something on Damien. My hubby and I each stood at 1 side of Damien, each hold his hands and he walked. Both of us adults are so happy. hahaha.

 

[felval]

Today we are also going to shift the orientation of our master bed so we can fit in damien's cot into the mbr...we are going to train in to slp in his own cot but still be able to see us...

duno why...feeling abit sad...so used to him sharing the bed with us..

 

[tutu_san]

Adnes,

and howz michael? i have emailed him a few weeks ago, but he hasn't replied me leh...

thanks in advance!

 

[aliceteo]

Val,
u hor...! haha, okie okie, if there is realli indi** dance will let u know (*0*) but i caught her doing "Shakila" butt shaking thou keke!
Good mah... must train him to slzzz on his own, then u and hb can hv yr own cuddling time, lol

Ant,
Wah, 3 bottles of medicine like no joke ler. Have u tried Chinese med? Maybe it will help?

Corynn,
oic... i had UTI so often last time when i was working but nv bleed so not sure abt this lor. Thks for sharing with me =) Now, the bleeding clear ler, and i drinking water like buffalo to stop it from coming bk.
kk will wait for yr email...
Shaine looks so happi with her trip to the Zoo... must have enjoyed so much till she KO =)

 

[dolly23]

Corryn,
Our little princess, Shaine is so pretty.... Her hair is simply so attractive and put 2 clips beside it, sweetie pie !

Val,
its good to start training them to sleep on their own. Ever since i fell sick the last time, i managed to train rayden to sleep on his own. So much better now, and i have got more space for myself, and also not afraid tt he will roll over and fall.

Yanling,
if i am not wrong, Adnes is using Photoshop to do the invitation card.

 

[buttercup08]

Corynn,
Randall uses the exact same model and same colour of Mclaren stroller....swear by it...very nice and comfy and roomy. was telling hubby if one day its should spoil (i had it since day one), i will most probably buy back the same model

Val,
me also used KKH before and find the mid wife and doctor professional.....only problem is their lactation consultation is not very friendly and not available most of the time....me going back in Jul for my pap smear too....

Alice,
Take care...it must be scary for you at first wondering what is wrong!

One yr old celebration:
me still undecided what to do...any mummies here opt not to do any party but bring baby out for a day of fun instead? me thinking along this line....still clueless....

 

[chobits_lek]

Val,
never request to stay during that time.. coz hubby say bill will be very x if i stay with my boy.. haha... so bo bian lor...

Buttercup,
I also haven decide what to do also.. haha... thinking of throwing a party the day beofre actual day and bring him out for fun on actual day. But also thinking of bringing him to bintan to play.. still deciding.

 

[corynn]

Buttercup,
I also not decided what to do. B'cos the schedule for actual is very tight. The birthday bash at gymboree is her actual day. So thinking after the birthday bash will go for a family dinner and hv a cutting cake in hotel.

At first I thought of book a chalet and celebrate there but with other program on that day, it's hard to hv time to enjoy at chalet.

Re: Birthday Cake
Any recommendation on which shop?

Re: Little neuro Tree
Have anyone try this right brain and left brain class? any comment?

 

[buttercup08]

Corynn,
So baby shaine's birthday is on 16 May 09? Randall is on 18 May 09. Told Dolly that i wanted to join on the 16 May now that my hubby's good fren wedding is postponed....but now me thinking of bringing Randall to bukit tinggi during this period if i didn't manage to ballot successful the chalet. Yanling, result will be out on monday =)
so now, nothing is confirmed for me also
have to wait until monday....

Birthday cake,
at first i wanted to order one from those blogs with very nice figurines but i found it too expensive....so now, me will be ordering from Jack's place instead.

Little neuro tree,
hee, haven't heard abt this...

 

[winnedy]

re: little neuro tree

hi corynn,
i have several frens who join them becos they are easier to get in compared to shicida.. currently if im not wrong, there is a lot of "franchise" ald.. my fren used to be a teacher in shicida went over to nuero tree.. their objective right now is to generate as much materials as possible for their franchise.. its more of a money making business rather than focusing on education now... as for their syllabus, those who attended shicida before will most likely say no to neuro tree as the kids get bored quite easily.. they repeat the exact same thing for 3 weeks in 3 different language, which is different from shicida but bored to kids...

just to share...

 

[winnedy]

corynn,
shaine is so pretty!! i like her fringe... and her LUXURY pram!!

haha

 

[winnedy]

Let's get the birthday mood started!!

Just to share a sample of the invitation card I have created...

Got the idea from some of the mummies in april... better declare first... haha

 

[felval]

alice,

Damien did the Red Indian dance yest and it was so funi. hahah. pity didnt manage to catch it on cam as he was too fast for us. hehehe. u said the same as my hubby but past 2 nites he still end up slpping with us on our bed. whahhaa,


dolly,

buttercup,

Re: Bday party,
nt doing a big mega bash la...thot of just bringing him out for a day of fun n cake cutting with family nia...but just manage to convince my hubby to mayb invite some close friends to celebrate..more like a gathering instead la...me still thinking coz the weekend b4 damien's actual bday is mother's day weekend...duno ppl will be free nt...


chobits,

[kaka2606]

val,
me too... tim's party will just be a small small one with family and close frens nia...


re:birthday cake
I ordered mine from pine garden.. its a 2 tiered cake and i chose lychee martini and blackforest flavour... haha... its an adult cake cos of the alcohol content

 

[morganfaith]

Yanling,

Sorry for the late reply. Busy these few days. Yup I used photoshop to do up the invitation card. Cos i feel tat it got more tools for designing.

Michael, not bad leh.. he was early on tat day. The party start at 12pm. he and his wife reached at 10am. 11.20am everytings done up. you wan sms him not? faster i think.

 

[dolly23]

Yanling,
Re : Michael
I think you better msg him on his mobile, as i think his business is super good, so he tends to overlook on some orders. He nearly overlooked mine as well, but luckily he managed to squeeze back a slot for me.

Val,
oh yeah, i will let rayden sleep on my bed first, and once he is soundly asleep, i will transfer him down to playpen. At times i do realise that he will peep, but he is still continue with his sleep, maybe you can try this method.

Re : Birthday party
Just now went down to the Middle Road to get the party favours and shop happily, didnt realise tt i seem to have bought too much, and spent a bomb .... haiz, shd have control myself

Sugar,
same same, i will also be ordering from Pine Garden, and also Lychee Martini and Triple Chocolate, i simply love it ! but i think i wil feed Rayden with some, afterall it is his birthday, must eat abit of the cake.

 

[tutu_san]

1st bdae party
finally done up the invitation using powerpoint. i didn't know powerpoint can save as jpg leh. although very simple, at least is one thing off my mind.

now have to settle the balloons and catering...

buttercup,
i didn't ballot for the exact date for the birthday leh... it's too great a risk to take. so i booked the room for the actual date which also coincides with vesak day. for the chalet, i ballot the 24-25 tat weekend, just want to bring him out to have some fun.

 

[tutu_san]

adnes, post some pics for us to see heheheh

 

[tutu_san]

buttercup..
good luck...
tmr shall be the day. haha cos of the good friday, they changed to 13 instead?

 

[kaka2606]

hi ladies!!!
just tested positive just now...ssshhhh... not confirmed..

dolly,
there goes my cake... i can't eat it liao....

 

[september]

sugar!!! Congrats!!! quickly go see gynae and get it confirm ya!!! and yes, u hv to watch ur diet again....no alcohol and go easy wif caffeine!!!

 

[cherimoya]

ant, actually KKH is not that bad la.. I think because KKH has alot more customers, that's why the stories will be more.. In terms of percentage wise, I think is the same. Every hospital will have that kind of stories, just a matter of luck I guess. So far, same as val, i got no complains. my mid-wife, gynae and nurses that I met are very good. and they are very helpful. i will still go back there for my second one. hehe..

choc, ya.. i also same as u la.. induced one.. haha.. and also scare of pain la.. hahah..

sugar, quickly go confirm la.. hehe.. hoping good news from you soon..

 

[cherimoya]

oh ya.. i managed to bake a cake and decorate it successfully for my nephew's birthday.. though it's not perfect but considering my first attempt, i'm very happy with the results.. hehe..

pardon my piping skills, not very good..

 

[september]

cheri,

the cake beri nice leh....the pooh head on the side is edible?
