Insurance.. my insurance agent ask me to sign ASAP after bb is born for the bb hospitalisation plan. She say can meet me up after my post-natal checkup during confinement. At first i ask can wait until after confinement, she say better sign as early as possible cos tat time for her kid, she sign too late and bb is not covered for one illness and she got to pay frm her own pocket.

actually come to think of it IR** also very smart cos since 2005 they discontinued the joint income filing scheme. if going by tat scheme, i think quite a number of us here, esp after bb's arrival would need to pay a much lesser amt in tax to them. other developed countries still ve this scheme in place, i reai wonder y ours ve to stop tis scheme other than wanting to generate more income for themselves & their coffers.
aiyo, Ellysia no lar, dun get so anxious about me. In fact, during my blood test 3 mths ago, doc already say my iron level is at the minimum of average. Then I showed him the vit C & iron tablets I taking, he says its good content, continue to take.
I had breakie and a cranberry oat bar just now with my red dates drink. Maybe this preg make me feel dizzy bah, or gal gal absorb too much iron from my body liao. Recently my short-sighted also getting worst, think later I better eat more substance food for lunch. Still thinking wat to eat.
TF, about bringing the receipts to hospital, it is also good to have a list of emergency contacts (such as hubby, Mom, immediate relatives, etc) filed in a clear folder, in case you last min need to go hospital by yourself.

Haha, yah man. I think if it was really 7kg, she would be in the news today liao.

Bizz,

Re Hosp Bag,
I also haven't packed yet. Prob pack next mth, a bit lazy also.
Veniz,
I have many ppl asking me if I am due soon..and then when I say, no due in June, they all comment, oh ur stomach very big hor. Quite sick of hearing that.
I guess the only person I dun mind hearing from tho' was my 4 year-old neice who touched my tummy and told me last week "姑姑, 你的肚子越来越大咯！" (Your stomach is getting bigger and bigger) she said it in such a cute way, it was actually endearing to hear that.

Tera,
I am ored having balance problem.. i try to balance more towards my back but sometimes over lean and almost fall behind.. then towards front will want to fall front.
The worst thing is when picking up things from the floor, sometimes i almost cannot straighten up.
Last week when i am at queue for food, i drop 50 cents so i lean to pick up, almost cannot catch my balance. Then another time i drop 5cents, i bo chap liao.

RE: Balancing

Tera, I do eat beef, but not everytime as both parents hse do not cook, can only eat at least once/week when out. Nvm, tomorrow for my steamboat dinner will order more beef to go with mala soup. But hor, leafy vege I dun like, only duomiao and spinach. Will try to eat more.
Ellysia, thanks for the explanation of eye sight and vision thingy. Funny, the preggie book I read (from USA) did not state about it. My tummy also recent few days boom to bigger size. Scary to see it growing so fast.
Yesterday, I was changing office monitors (change a new bigger one for myself) and have to kneel down/ sat on capet floor, the realise, my calves very fat, like lamb legs (you know, those sold in supermarkets like drumstick form). Have to cut down salt intake and monitor now.

crystal,
I think this year, IRAS choosen quite a nbr of ppl (cant rememebr the figure) exempted from efile if their relief is still the same as last year. And most of this choosen group belong to those employee under the company which is in IRAS auto (dont know wat) scheme. So, as my relief is the same as last year, so i dont had to do any filing.
Fennie,
Currently no more disney spree. If i happen to saw new disney spree, shall post it here. But hor, normally the disney spree will close within few hrs it was posted as the respond is very good.

mrswrx,
I not very good in words lor, hee. What I meant is that like lamb legs (which are being sold in supermarket packed like in big drumstick form). I born in year of goat, so i say lamb legs lor, hee. But to thing of it, piggy legs more suit me.
My calves are always big, so I dun like to wear dresses. But now preggie, lazy to wash more clothes so wear 1pc dresses to work is the best. But if go out after work will wear pants and blouse, cover my fat legs.

I recall previously someone shared tat the Tollyjoy Baby Nappy Liner has 2 different packaging, the Blue n Pink, to differentiate, I tink one more absorbent than the other. Can share some light on this. Wldnt most go for more absorbent one? Which colour is the more absorbent one?

TF,
I did mentioned tollyjoy got 2 packaging and the pink color will be more ex. However, i dont find it to be more absorbent loh. To me, still the same, so i'll buy the blue packaging coz its more cheaper and normally we'll throw after few pee.

TF, I know Felicia mentioned its the Pink col one which is more absorbent. At least about emergency contact person, you are one lucky gal to have your parents and family members around you, hehe.
I realise I still do have Tollyjoy baby nappy saved down from my #1's time 4 yrs ago. Dunno still can use or not, later scare if DD uses it, later get itchy backside.
Felicia, then you can use this type of description (legs as big as grass snake/ cobra's body) to talk about using your zodiac, hehee. My calves are fat and bloated, but feet still the same, flat flat one.

Hee, actually i vaguely recall is Felicia mentioning, but dare nt put her name cos recently i always refer to her.. In case wrong again. Ok, then i will just get the cheaper one.
I'm surprise the thin liner can absorb urine w/o wetting the diaper much? Cos hear can rewash n use agn. Or just for the poo, the diaper will still be wet. Sori ya, no experience n never see b4

Veniz,
Do you mean the cloth diaper?
Just wash it again with bb detergent will do. Urs only 4yrs ago, u know my #1 is using my cloth nappy. hehe..... 30yrs leh. As long as we washed it, then it shld be a prob to use again as even cloth we oso let our bb wear those hand me down.
During my 1st pregnancy, my feet swell from size 6 to 8. Then aft delivery, it only return one size smaller, so if this round my feet boom again, then 'cham' lah.

TF, ya, normally anything like we asking who had said this before, etc, we will say Felicia is the one who told us before. Dunno why always point her but she does provide valuable info most of the times, not to forget as well as other ladies here.
I can say, if you want to let your son use diapers like in middle of your confinement as alternative, you can forget about reusing the liners. coz 1 box alot, if you get value package will be 2boxes x 100pcs. I left quite a lot (1 3/4 box) from last time due to tat I waste time and effort to wash and reuse the liners. Just my experience and opinion lor.

TF,
No worry! Even if you quote my name wrongly, oso nvr mind, i'll just told you is not me. hehe....
No, no, no. It'll still wet the cloth diaper but the liner can absorb the pee faster and leave ur bb butt more dry to prevent rashes. So, you'll notice the cloth diaper to be very wet but ur bb butt is dry. Yes, can wash and reuse but for poo poo, better throw away lah.

Felicia, no lar, i meaning the liners. they are kept in their own boxes. When I saw them, they still look white, but unsure still can use or not coz I will only use a bit. As for cloth nappy, I will reuse them again, but most of them were being used as cleaning clothes when I shifted to current hse.
Waw, your swelling so bad huh? Mine was like still the same size (size 5) only the bloated parts like fats spilled out. Now this preggie, my feet size down size from 5 to 4 or 4 1/2.

Veniz,
Oic. I think shld be ok to use since is still white white. Coz i remember my friend told me before she keep her unused liner , then one day whiel spring clean she found the box and the liner got bit yellow small spots, then she throw away. If you still unsure, maybe wash it?

Felicia, no lar, you not KPO lar. I also sometimes find that I KPO (told morraine I very very auntie style KPO one). But then to come to think of it, we share we learn, coz some info we know, but may not be correct or there is more to it, so at least can re-learn from here also.
When I had #1, I dun even know what is a 'Forum', lucky I find this forum now.

ya, always hear people buy 2 boxes promo, end up use half box. Yet still wash the liner. So the liner acts as speeding up the absorbent to the nappy. The liner does nt contain the urine, its the nappy tat contain urine still. Aft hw many urine must wash nappy or each urine already must wash?
Felicia, ya loh, so pai seh wait salah. Veniz, i agree, she's always provide lots of info for us..keke

Felicia, I also dunno how come downsize one. Made me buy smaller size shoes which my MIL also like, and now cannot share with her (she also size 5 feet and likes the flats I got).
Fennie, ya, Dr TC Lim very funny. Last time when I preg with #1, he always call me his young mummy. Everytime comment I have new blouse/ dress on every visits to him. This time round, sometimes he said 'Wow, I never seen this nice new blouse on you before', I told him I wore it before, he will claimed he old liao. He also claimed I can eat sashimis and drink up to 4 cups of coffee a day. Nice and experienced doctors at the clinic.
