(2008/06) June 2008

Morning gals. I am on leave today but was woke up by hb, and now no mood to sleep longer. So 'zer er' of him.

Feifei and ZuEn, you both so early leh. Toking about BK, I will be going to Raffles City Shopping Centre in shortwhile for breakie (maybe bk) and to go the Jason Market get passion fruits (selling 3 for $2.00). Those who like passion fruits can try to grab them from cold storage supermarkets, they taste good.

Yesterday Auntie Su came up to my hse and did a very good and thorough massage for me. Feeling great and although my back which muscles are very tight is now a bit painful and has redness, I do sleep very well last night. She is also very nice, told her too bad she fully booked in June, otherwise will get her do postnatal massage for me.
 


Veniz,
hehe..nvm lor, later can take nap...I also can't sleep today so woke up earlier =D...

How does passion fruits taste? sour? me nv eat b4 wor...hee

So u booked other massage lady yet?
 
fei fei, dunno you eaten those passion fruit flavour of sweets (I think brand is halls or ricola, in box form), the ripe fruit tastes like those, but not so sweet lar. I also dunno how to explain to you. Last Friday when I went facial, my friend's mum and sis (my beauticians) gave me one to try for 1st time, and I cannot wait to get it lor. Where are you staying? if you have cold storage near you, can check it out or get your hb to get for you try, coz passion fruits have lots of vitamins goodness.

About napping, cannot nap liao lor, coz later have to put out newly washed laundry out and afternoon go for my photoshoot, coz this time closing shop liao, have to take a photo of me preggie, hee, i vianpot.

I booked another massage lady who is charging me higher than Auntie Su, but she is highly recommended by my cousins. In fact, auntie Su mentioned, if any case I find my booked massage lady not so good, can try to contact her to see if she can squeeze me in her schedule. I told her see how first and also, after confinement will get her do normal on-off massages for me, she said ok. Hee, almost forgot to pay her when she was about to leave my hse yesterday. Me birdbrain and apologise, but she very nice about it. :p
 
Veniz,
Oic..maybe ask my hb tohelp me buy to try..hee..

heehee....wow, photoshoot leh =)..wat will u be wearing?

hee..cos was busy chatting with her hor? tink she bery friendly hor =D.
 
feifei, ya, get your hb go get. its packed in styloform tray and 3 in a pack. Get the malaysia one, coz only $2.00/pack. I heard they also have Australia ones, but more expensive, so not so worth getting. Not to forget, if possible, try to get from bigger cold storages coz smaller ones may not have lor.

I will wear normal lar, white singlet with jeans. Plan to have a shoot of my naked tummy (up my singlet to above tummy, but still cover private breasts lar), heee. I have included my hb and son in this shoot, so will get one having son kissing tummy and this shoot will be like more of family shoot also, PG rating, no NC16/RA or sexy ratings.

Auntie Su is very friendly. Are you getting her to do postnatal massages for you? She was also quite cute, as I am staying 23rd floor, she said the lift zoom up so high, she got nervous so has to use my toilet first thing she came in, otherwise, most time she will just start with massage.

Ok lar, I better go off now, getting my breakie and buying the fruits lor. Still have to squeeze into MRT with those working pple (sure very squeezy at my MRT Station one). Chat again when I back later.
 
veniz,
ya lor, can ask hb to go gt the fruits from CP =D..

Hehe....can't wait to see ur meimei photos leh...hee

Nope, me getting antoher massage lady recommened by my fren wor.. =D..

Tata, enjoy ur photoshoot and take care...
 
feifei,

so, you got the price of the diapers, then dont need to check for u liao? hehe... anyhow, if i find the price is diff, shall posted here.
I'm goin to be 'price spy'. haha....

Veniz,
i was thinking shld i asked Aunty Su to do another massage for me on next week, coz by then i'm in wk31 liao leh. My leg cramp does not happen so frequently after her massage, so thinking might ask her over again. hehe....o..no..i'm addicted to massage.
 
ellysia,

i remember you're asking about swimming float, rite? Yest nite i saw got sold in my neighbour pasar malam @ Khatib central. But is a bit distant from your place leh. So, maybe u want to try to see if your neighbourhood got psr malam, then can try to looksie looksie if they sold it.
 
Felicia,
ya lor, got it frm their website =D.

hee...price spy...wat a good word =).

the float hor, is it like those normal swimmin gfloat? cos i wan to get 1 pc too...
 
Mamy Poko Diapers from NTUC

Hi ladies, yesterday evening went NTUC buy Soya milk, saw Mamy Poko diapers, size S 72 pcs is $22.75

Fyi.
 
Mogudog,
this NTUC offer for MP is slightly cheaper than wat I bot previously during the Giant offer...$0.15 cheaper =)...

So ladies who intend to get MP diapers, can grab liao =D..

How are u today?
 
feifei, I bought 1 pack yesterday only, was looking for newborn size but don't have. Coz I foresee will use more newborn since she is small size. I am better already, working from home today coz tummy still a bit strained.
 
Mogudog,
Maybe NB size sold out liao wor...maybe u can go other NTUC to see see lor =)..Btw, hospital will also give us the remaining diapers to bring hom elor..

I see...work frm home at least can rest hor..
 
Ellysia, I agree with all other mummies here, don't do own your confinement esp. this one is your first baby. For me, both my MIL and mom already said beforehand they can't do for me coz both of them working full-time and ask me go find a CL. It will be good if you can either get a CL, or cater confinement food and get a part-time maid to help with the cleaning.
 
feifei, maybe will pop by other NTUC to look see look see. I very tired of walking nowadays lei. Work from home better than going office la, at least no need to walk so much, hehehe.
 
Morning ladies!

Ellysia, for easier removal of rings, try to remove them early in the morning rather than late at night/end of the day. If the swelling of the rings is caused by water retention, water retention should be the least severe in the morning.

On the topic of your mom looking after your son, I find that because our moms know us best, they tend to get into heated arguments with us but that's cos we are "used" to each other.

It sounds like your mom is in quite a difficult position cos of your brother too. Have to accomodate him.It is helpful to have someone with you during later stages of pregnancy but if your mom is the easily excitable type, she may push you to go hospital earlier than you actually are ready and she may project her own anxiety on you, which may not be healthy for you or your bb. Part of the reason I plan to work all the way up to delivery is cos I dun want to stay at my parents' place or my MIL's place during ML before delivery cos dun want to be stressed out by them. My colleagues are a very encouraging bunch.. all females (I share an office with a female colleague with 2 young children) and I warned them that if labour starts, I plan to stay in office for as long as possible and I've gotten their support.
 
feifei, mai sianz mai sianz, take good chance to rest the remaining 2 weeks at home. I am going back office on Monday lei, lagi sianz.
 
morning ladies!

it's finally friday!!

talking abt diapers, shop n save selling pampers baby dry (S) 2 packs (48pcs) for $18.95. cheaper than mamy poko. I'm thinking of buying pampers baby dry for S instead of mamy poko.

I bought 1 pack of NB mamy poko....
 
The diaper discount for mamy poko is only $2 difference.

cactus,

thks, i have just removed the rings this morning and swot to smaller fingers. cos in the morn my finger swell so bad tat i cannot bend it. after i swot the rings, finger seem better.

My hb see me so pain ask me to remove the rings when reach home then wear them back in morn so that the fingers can "breathe".

Ya u are rite, i scare my mum may stress me up and push to early labour instead.
anyway after discussion with gynae, i most likely only take 1 week in advance, so not much difference.
 
Mogudog,
ya lor...u also dun sian lor...wkends tmr =D..any plans?

iamsnow,
hi ya, long time din see u here wor..how u doing?

the Pampers baby dry is pink packaging?
 
Felicia,

no see pasar malam at AMK yet.

this morning i suffered from leg cramps at both legs at same time! so pain until i totally wake up.
 
Ellyisa,
oh dear, cramps at both legs sure bery pain de...got massage them?

Felicia,
tks for the infor...hv to keep a lookout for pasar malam liao..
 
feifei,

Nope. i try to wriggle my toes then my ankle to make the cramps go away as usual. then i cont to sleep for 30min or 1 hr then usual time to wake up, when wake up hb help me to massage a bit.

dun want to wake hb up to massage for me while sleeping lor. everytime i bear with it then wake up either i massage myself or ask hb.
 
feifei,
i have been very busy with work. no time to come in to chat with u gals....

yes, pampers baby dry is the one with red colour packing and some green colour by the side.

if i calculate the cost, MP cost around $0.31 per pc while pampers cost less than $0.20 with the promo.... quite a big difference.....
 
Ellysia,
true lor...poor ger..

Felicia,
tks ya..but dun purposely go there ya, paisei lor..hee

iamsnow,
oic =D...true lor... but now is a gd time to stock up =D
 
ellysia,

actually kiddy palace oso got sold the float but is more ex unless you're goin to use it for swimming later on else is bit waste.
 
feifei, tml is a spring cleaning day. I called the aircon man come my house service aircon in the morning, then got a part-time cleaner to clean the hse in the afternoon, after that got antenatal class, tiring day.
 
felicia,
tks for the infor..

Mogudog,
ya hor...but actually hv part-time cleaner is good..just that my hb dun wan, he rather do himself to save $$...hiaz..so i hv to close both eyes when he do hsework, no choice..hv to wait til my ML before i spring clean myself..

All,
Got to know frm my frenz that actually if we used diapers only and not cloth nappy, 1 or 2packs of NB size diapers is not enough de...cos 1st few wks bb poo poo alot alot, everyday used abt 7-8pc of diapers...scary...

So they advise me to get at least 2 packs of NB, and 1 pack of s size diapers to stand by for 1st mth... Tink i will go grab 1 more pack of Pampers NB.
 
morning ladies

Having BH almost every morning before i wake up at 7am....been like these since my 3rd trimester....once get it always think in labourward....

so heavy to lift up my legs to walk....today me now wk 32....next check up on 30apr....hopefully i can see my bb gender....still have not go shopping yet....
 
Felicia,

I dun swim so i dun tink i can re-use the swimming float.

feifei,

Ya i had these cramps v often, almost daily but it improved when i wear socks. then recently this week occur again. dunno is it bec' of more strain on the legs or recently i didn't drink nutrisoy so not enuff calcium.
 
Dan,

U have braxton hicks so often? My gynae said if too often better take medicine or else can cause early labour.
 
feifei,

so we need a big pack of NB diapers?

Cos i only bot a small packet of NB diapers, i tot shd be enuff cos i expect my bb to be big size.
 
hi mummies,
regards abt diapers, my advise is not to buy too much cos different baby suits different brand of diapers. I remember using pampers newborn(provided by TMC) 1st then when my boy is a bit older(can wear size S) i bought a BIG pktof mamy poko thinking tat expensive means good... but after using 1-2 pcs my boy develop very bad nappy rash tat i have to stop n bring him to see PD.... there goes my mamy poko which i need to give away. During e full month celebration some friends also give diapers from different brand n to my surprised my boy can use Fitti which is so cheap n e material wasnt so good as compared to e other brand so i used it for him for a few months until i changed back to pampers brand. Recently i find tat diapers always got promotion so i dont thk is neccessary for us to stock up too many cos if ur baby cant adapt to e brand tat u buy then it will be very wasted.
 
Danryan,
agreed with Ellysia, i was given some medication for these BH lor..

Ellyisa,
tink hor, u bot the NB and s size rite? tink NB 1 pack to test out 1st lor, scare if bb too big, at least can wear s size...U bot MP s size hor?

elaine,
true lor..
 
Ellysia, I think our doctors' advice regarding BH and medication varies. Cos throughout normal pregnancy, there is BH - just that only when our uterus is bigger, that we can feel them better and become aware of them. BH are practice contractions, and are not painful, and they go away with rest, change of position or walking around (if they occur during rest). BH don't alter the condition of our cervix and do not cause our cervix to dilate, so they don't cause premature labour in that sense. Some doctors worry that 1st time moms (esp) cannot tell the difference between BH and real contractions, so give moms medication to stop these BH/contractions in cause they are real contractions which alters the condition of the cervix and cause dilation. Hope this helps to clarify things, and hope Danryan isn't too anxious with the BH that she is experiencing. it's a good thing to experience BH often cos it means her body is preparing well for labour. BH is more often felt in subsequent pregnancies too (esp if previous pregnancies were normal delivery and not c-section), cos the body knows what to do already.
 
feifei,
ya, newborn if bf will poo more often, and watery, so estimate 8-10 per day, so that means 240-300pcs for the 1st month, that means if 1 pack about 48 pcs, we need at least 6 packs, what i do is i get different brand since i am not sure which brand suits my new bb, and i heard they outgrow NB size very fast, i got a new mom in church, she has to switch to M size even b4 bb reach 3 months
 
ellysia,
actually in AMK, on top of the This Fashion, i think 3rd floor, there is a Sports Shop, not sure if still there or not
 
feifei,

is ok, coz i love walking around pasar mlm oso. And i promise my ger will bring her there again for the small fun fair.

For disposable diaper w/o using cloth diaper, yes, you'll be using a lot especially if u BF. And if you BF, you bb poo poo tends to be more watery oso, so u might use lot of diaper plus wet tissue.
 
feifei, me can't pick myself to do any hsework now, simply too tired and lazy. My hb wash clothes, towels and dishes for me, the rest he will leave to the part-time cleaner who comes once a week.
 
fennie,
thats fast hor, really depends on how fast our bbs grow lor..hmm...tink i won't stock up liao..if really not enough, then ask hb go buy lor...diff is afew dollars...

Me packing my hospital bag liao...seems like so many things to bring..hee
 
Is it ok to continue swimming at wk 33? I remember my gynae asking me to stop at a certain wk but I forget which wk liao..

TF, sorry wor.. I chk inbox n spam dun have leh...
Can invite again.. [email protected]
