cactus,
My hb didn't say he dun like me to tell his parents stuff, maybe bec he know i usu answer honest one, i dun like to twist and turn.
Another thing is my MIL actually thought that i have the better power to persuade my hb than her.. always tell me to remind my hb this and that lah, make sure he do this and that etc. Alamak i want to tell my MIL that i am not his mother lor, i am his wife different role le. But i didn't say it out in words lah, i just tell her my hb dun listen to me lor even though i got remind him.
My MIL even tell me to prepare breakfast for my hb when we first get married. I tink siao lah.. i am working wife, not as comfortable as her being a tai tai at home.. where got time to wake up so early to prepare breakfast. Pengz.

So Jiat lat??
Btw, last time i also beat my brother and fight with him one. Not really v nurturing in that sense. Then me v tired of taking care of my brother so i got a phobia of having kids for many years. Also my parents quarrel always (but make up after that) giving me phobia of marriage too. It took me few years to get over both phobia.
In fact, bec of my brother i dun really like kids.. when my colleagues are happy and excited to see other bbs, i have no such thinking.. my only thought is bb is v ma fan and hard to take care of..hard work is the only thing that come to my mind.
Marriage change me eventually.. then seeing my frens with bbs also change me too.
So doesn't mean eldest gal is good bah. I hope for a eldest son bec' i tot gal being younger will be nicer for her, be pampered by everyone.

I have problems waking up early.. in fact i have probs of waking up in the morn, last time always my mum wake me up then now is my hb wake me up.. heee.. So i can't wake up early to prepare breakfast for him le.
Though i did try before to cook something the night before, then we heat it up in the morn for breakfast. But i realise not v healthy to eat overnight food, so i stop the practice ored.
Sometimes i buy bread for my hb for his breakfast, but he dun like to eat bread for breakfast.
For me cos i am so used to eating bread for breakfast, i usu eat office so i have not tink of preparation.

cactus, ellysia,
I think it really helps if they are of the same gender. I am very close to my younger sis who is 4 years younger. We oni grew closer in my 20s. We can talk about anything under the sun. Sad to say, we are very distance from our elder brother.
I think the bb has strengthened the bond btw my hb and me. It helps when both of us wanted a bb and both looked forward to her arrival. Hehe.

ladies, u all really can chat!
I had been missing since morning as i had a meeting from b4 10am drag till lunch hour. Just back from my lunch. My bb keep kicking me during the meeting,most probbly she's hungry.
ok, mummies whom is goin to buy PIS, take note that Mums & Babes is selling @ $688 bundle with playpen or medela accessorries. You can buy at theit AMK hub or United Square branch. Promo is while stocks last.
Danryan,
Since ur in law will be staying at JB, why not suggest she stay at Spore , then u n hubby can bring her back to JB maybe once a week.
My #1 is currently taking care by my mil oso. When she offered to take care, i oledi told hubby, she had to be here most of the times. My hubby is from malacca. So, we'll try to arrange bring my mil back to malacca once a month. And sometimes, she'll stay there for the most 2 weeks. But hor, during tat 2 weeks, i miss my girl crazily leh.
So, is not easy for child to be separate from parent especially mother.

bizznow, why must get customised bb cot mattress?? There is no standard depth, to my knowledge leh. I'm sure there are some firm spring mattresses for bbs which are 7 inch thick. in any case, my suggestion is not to spend too much on mattress cos bb will dirty it with vomit and pee. As long as mattress is firm enough to support bb's weight, can already.

Dan,
My hubby is oso working shift. I oso had a hard time to arrange goin bak msia with my hubby and i ended up always take leave just to go back.
Since ur mom is staying with you, then maybe just get a maid to share ur mom workload. Getting ur MIl to stay here might add more burden to you and ur hubby if there's 2 mothers is at same house.

bizznow, my mattress no brand one, but it is cot sized. From john little. high density foam. Bought 2 pieces - each at $29.90. Cheap and according to my mom, good. we decided no need to buy branded cot sized mattress cos bb will dirty. we bought 2 so that we can alternate when bb is still young, then when bb is older, just stack and sew one above another for more support for bb. It is so firm it feels like latex. When bb is about 2 years old, plan to switch to firm spring but at the moment, no plans to go for spring. bb's weight in the first 2 years does not require further spring support.
bizznow, John little has 2 types of foam mattress. both no brand. 1 type selling at about $19 or $19.90. the other is $29.90. We found the $29.90 good. baby Kingdom is selling cot sized firm spring mattress at $109 and $139. so if you want spring mattress, can consider there.

bizznow,
you still looking for custom-made mattress? Know kiddy palace does it for a fee. Alternatively, you can just get a best fit one from the range they have -- will be much cheaper to buy what is available.
I got one mattress for my playpen from kiddy palace. Doesn't fit exactly. longer by an inch on the length, shorter by an inch by the breadth... but still can make do lah.... if not must pay double the price for custom made one... heart ache.

ladies, I've a problem here regarding PIS. I did some online research and found out that PIS advanced actually has some problems. the face plate had some design flaw and was redesgined 4 times! The poor old design resulted in poor suction... I'm not sure if the PIS advanced sold outside are the old stock leh.... now getting a bit worried. Mums and Babes said they didn't get bad reviews from PIS advanced but it was only sold since late last year. Now I'm wondering if I should buy PIS original.... what do you ladies think? the diff between original and advnaced is advnaced has a 2 stage expression phase. but it sets the 1st stage at 2min. mother has no control. original appears more reliable though, although slightly less milk is obtained and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes longer...

I use mama lemon to wash bb bottles. Didn't buy bb cleanser. So far ok. Think more importantly, is to make sure we wash away all the soap (be it mama lemon or special bb cleanser). So I always rinse few times with water.
mrswrx,
you planning for 3 children =) envy, envy... I also want 3 children, but hb insist on only 2. Hmmm, must see how I can convince him to have one more.
