Zu En,

Nowadays fresh groceries isn't cheap too.
For me i order confinement food as my mum dunno how to cook such food. Then i give my mum allowance for her and bro food.
 


ellysia,

Most will come before we arrived home. But you can make special request on the delivery timing. For my case, as my hubby is working shift and some of the day he need to go to work at 6pm, so i had to request the delivery be done before 5pm. Of course for this normal tingkat meal, the food is not warm when arrived, so we had to reheat it.
 
Yest nite bb is not guai. Keep kicking me violently and long time before i go to sleep, end up i cannot sleep have to wait for bb to quiet down.

ellysia,
i tink i am pig.. i can still slp even bb is kicking hard.. hahahaa.. nw hard till my tummy can bounce and move..
 
babycupid,

I always disturb by bb movements, so will keep shifting during sleep every night. Then dunno is it bec' my hb play with bb before sleep so bb v active.
 
K Ong,
Sure, will update u gers on my final decision.

Jamsnow / Veniz,
Thanks gers, got yur PMs & will be following up on my end. Thanks so much.

Jamsnow,
Thanks for highlighting the potential issue tat may crop up, it jus strike me tis morning too & I called my hb up abt this n ask him to re-check wif his mum if she is going to be upset if we really go ahead n hire. My gut feeling is she will cos even if she dun help n we get a CL, she will feel insulted although goodness knows y. my instinct tells me tat if I wan to keep peace n avoid more awkwardness ard the hse, then I better do confinement on my own…

Muffin,
Thanks for your offer.

ellysia,babycupid
ya lor.. nowaday bb kicking and movement are more often.. tummy is getting bigger also... dare not sit at the floor too long hour too.. backside sure painful...
 
Ellysia,
Yah, 3 weeks should be enough time to go down and check out the fair without needing to take leave. Just so happen I've already applied for leave one of the days so just nice.
happy.gif


I also have problem sleeping at night recently. Find that I can't really sleep on my left cos bb will keep moving as if it is not comfortable then I will shift to sleep on my back but after a while, my back will ache so lots of shifting around while sleeping.
 
morr,
i not getting any NB diapers. coz i think hosp will give. not enough then buy later. i want to stock up some s size ones so during my confinement can use. i using nappy anyway, so diapers also dun need so much....
 
ellysia,
hahaha.. den ask ur hubby dun play wif him b4 slp.. my hubby is kept ask bb to call him daddy.. i say him crazy..

morraine,
oh issit.. kekee.. i will try..

liew,
ya lor.. tummy getting bigger..
 
liew,

I can't even sit down on floor unless got mattress or wat. If i sit down, i cannot stand up on my own. Usu during class, hb has to pull me up.
Everyday when i wake up, i will roll on right side and use my elbow to push myself up.

Tera,

I be going to gynae on 12March so can also go on same day, but since fair starts 1 week before my appt most likely i won't wait until the day of appt.

liew,

Ya i tink bb has grown so his/her movements is more obvious. Sometimes my bb jump so much and i feel uncomfy. If not he will kick me. Now i can differentiate whether it is kick or he move.
 
babycupid,
normally i turn in early (11pm) then my hb ard 12plus.. he always during 12plus come and talk to my gal gal and even ask my gal kicking! end up i'm the one who can sleep liao.... sigh~
 
babycupid,

Ya next time i know. Usu around tat time my bb will sleep liao then he know when i am lying he is not suppose to kick me... sometimes if he kick me while i am sleeping i will tok to him or scold him.. so since then he been quite guai when i sleep. but yest nite i dunno why, he is so naughty. I tink must be bec' my hb play with my tummy before i sleep. Cos my bb will react to my hb voice if hb tok to me v close, then if my hb touch my tummy usu my bb will respond later by kicking/moving.
 
<font color="ff0000">iamsnow*

depending on how much ur hospital will give hor.. coz for GlenE i recalled, the nurse happen to finish one pack and gave us one new pack upon discharge but i heard other hospitals at times, they wil not replenish a new pack for u if u haven finished so ending up u bringing back a opened packet.. get it?
happy.gif
and size S might be slightly too big for the infant</font>
 
liew,
hahaha.. yd my hubby put his hand on my tummy to feel.. den bb not moving.. my hubby said.. bb slping.. i said nvm wake him up.. i tap tap my tummy.. den bb kick.. my hubby say i disturb bb slp.. haha..
 
ellysia,

liew,
haha.. same here.. mine oso platform bed.. bery difficult to stand up lor.. so i oso roll to my side and use my elbow to lift up..
when we reno our hse.. i wanted the platform bed and my hubby objects said preg time bery difficult.. but i insisted.. now i koe liao.. sob..
 
Tera,

I hope to get the pump, detergents, diapers at e fair if its cheap wor...

Ellysia,
Yes, i need ur receipt as well....tks ya =D..U saw my email?Tks..so after adding ur receipts, I still need abt $100 more...hmm...

I also disturbed by my bb at nite, can't sleep lor...can feel tummy tightening...

All,
Anyone knows how Braxton Kicks feel like? cos now tummy feels more tight, read soemwhere that this is BK wor...hmm...

Babycupid,
My frenz also used Nepia, they hv good comments abt it too =D.

iamsnow,
I will be getting 1 pack of Pampers NB diapers, then Huggies and Mamy Poko S size in case bb grows fast =D... But ca't seems to find somewhere that sells cheaper leh..carrefour has sales for Drypers only wor..hmm...

Soyabean,
u managed to find ur receipts? ;p
 
feifei,
oh.. tightening of tummy is Braxton Kick? I din koe that.. but every now n den will one lor.. like one side bulging up like tat.. bery bery tight..
 
Feifei,
I also think I look like an auntie now… hb keep laughing non-stop when he picked me up last nite after wk, he said I looked like a boyboy if jus taking a look at my face. Darn… I reai regret my haircut now…even my nephew (6yrs old) who saw me last nite said “ah kim, y u cut hair so short, now u look like my mummy, not nice, your long hair much nicer….”. I hear liao, feel lagi more sad….
 
feifei,
i also cannot rem if it was 2 or 3 mths, so thought i will include dec receipts, hehe.
happy.gif
in that case, my jan receipts will total $243, + ellysia's $53, quite close to the $300 liao right? The required amt is $300 is it? Memory failing, cannot rem a lot of things.
 
oh ya ladies,
do you koe when is the 3rd trimster? i started to feel more tired this wk.. somehow jus not enuff slp..
 
morr,
thanks for the advise.... hm. then i better prepare one pac of NB at home just in case....

feifei,
huggies and mamy poko is good? i see a lot of recommendation for these 2 brands...
 
gers,
just to check wif u all if anyone of u happen to know if we count confinement date as starting from the day of delivery, rite? n not the day rtn hm from hospital, rite?
 
babycupid,

For me normally if hb touch tummy bb will not move but after awhile he still start to respond.

I know platform bed is not ideal for pregnant ladies cos got frens/colleagues (cannot remember who) tell me when i do renovation for my new house tat time. But my bed is slightly lower than normally bed (not platform) so still not so bad, but still have to roll to one side.

Actually i tink any bed also have to roll to one side, how to sit up from bed on our tummy when i cannot even feel my tummy muscles.
 
i'm the more lucky type. My bb is more active during morning and evening hour especially after i taken my meal. So normally i'll sleep at around 10pm coz i need to wake up at 5.45am.
My bb will react more to my girl's voice than my hubby. So normally if wanna to feel bb move, i had to get my girl to talk to the bb.
 
feifei,

OK i send to u then.. i shd have 1 or 2 more but i cannot find them, i tink i may have thrown them away. So left only 1 receipts. If i go Spring again i send u again then.. i tink i may need to buy more bra from them, but they are current out of stock so i waiting for new stock to come.
 
<font color="ff0000">iamsnow*

no prob

for me i consider my confinement period ends when i host the baby shower party! &amp; whether it starts from the day i reached home or the day i delivery oso no diff la..</font>
 
babycupid,

Me too. suddenly like honeymoon ended. More tired and heavier to walk too.

Some books says week 25 onwards is 3rd trim.
 
Ellysia,
That's the correct way to get up (based on those pregnancy book), roll to your side and then use your arms and elbow to support yourself and slowly bring yourself up. Like u said, cannot expect to use our stomach muscles now.

crystal and feifei,
my neice also ask me why i cut my hair and said she preferred my long hair..and her reason was cos now, she cannot help me tie my hair anymore, so practical.

How are u all going to do yr baby shower party? At home?

I am tinking to go restaurant. easier cos i dun have to clean my house.
 
Tera,

Ya correct way.. pre-natal class also teach the same way. But happen i somehow know its the way cos tats the only way to get up. Somemore sometimes i cannot immediately come up, must slowly.
 
<font color="ff0000">ellysia*

wow u are thinking real far ahead! haha

i wil most likely do at home again but i always do 2 sessions coz too many ppl already</font>
 
Tera &amp; feifei,

I tink it is $300 and within 2 or 3 mths. I also cannot remember.

feifei actually u can buy someting on the spot for the balance and get yr discount on the spot too.
 
Ellysia,
Yah, must get up slowly. A few times, I got up too fast, I actually felt my stomach cramping.
sad.gif


As for bb shower, a few frens did at restaurants. Personally, I think not a bad idea cos no need to clean up. :p I might use a function hall at my in-laws' place and then get caterers.
 
Hi Ellysia, bb shower will be at restaurant for us. cos we don't have our own home yet, and it's tricky - which home to go to for catered food, cos MIL do confinement for me but my dad will look after bb for us after that. Some people go to chalet too but we decided not to cos chalets are normally inconvenient for those who don't drive.
 
Oh!! Doing it at condo function room is a good idea too!! more convenient cos nearer to home and can get necessities. also if need to breast feed bb, less messy.
 
Ya condo function room is a good idea
happy.gif


I ored told my hb want to do at restaurant. Easier and more class also haa. nicer food too.

Baby shower party dun have to be exactly 1 mth right, can be off 1-2 weeks after 1 mth right?
Still have to spare one day bring cakes down to my colleagues.

Btw, need to order cake for IL or dun need? i dunno wats the custom. Cake is for relatives?
 
i was at baby ave yesterday and was looking at sterilizers.

there is this brand call GL that is having a promo...usual price was $138 then now promo to $68 and come free with a bottle/food warmer.

seems like a good deal, but i realised that the sterilizer has some circular restrictions for u to put int he bottles, while the pigeon one bare at the base n top rack that allows any shape or size bottles or food container inside.

i prefer the pigeon one definately. it cost $119 but has a free "beginner ste" which inclues a bottle n teat brush, 2 bottles and a milk powder container from pigeon..the set usually cost $40.

but i still din buy it in the end coz of the arrenty period issue which starts on day of purchase
 
thanks gers,
on the advice on the start date of confinement.
happy.gif
much appreciated.

tera,
yup, yur niece so practical. my nephew jus keep gazing at me while i was having dinner wif a worried look on his face n asked me if i m going to remain like tat for long cos he said i short hair not pretty, look too much like his mummy (my SIL) &amp; he calls her "obasan". geeezzzz.....
 


tinyfeet,

I ored bot my Pigeon steriliser. Original price $119 but got 20% discount + 5% rebate. Dun have milk powder container as free gift. I didn't check got free bottles given inside or not.

The warranty starts from day of purchase.. now i remember i forget to send the warranty card.
