Update on Kayden
Went to see the physio and occupational therapist.. was told to take Kayden off the walker.. cos his leg muscles are too tight... might delay him walkin properly... also need to help him exercise...
did a questionnare on his development.. apparently he still got quite a bit to learn..
for 7mths babies, they should be able to retain their toy in one hand and pick up another toy with the other.. transfer toy from one hand to another... and many more...

Do1nk, I must say you have fantastic memory lo. Yah I got long hair and was wearing a red top (wow kaoz even I dun remember and had to think long long long before i remember what i wore then!) Hmmm so we have met before haha opps ... memory confirm failing liaoz
Hmm PB maybe there was some catch that was not properly attached or somewhere not tight enough? And I love Pop's super big eyes!! Haha opps and also got to confess, I was half time 'molesting' her yesterday coz her skin super smooth leh! Think bb xun one also not so smooth hehehe
Waiwai, so you know if your bb girl or boi liaoz?
Cellow, heard that combi stroller is not very good right? Seems like it cannot hold a heavy weight.
Serene, I will go and compare the prices. But honestly hor, I think if I go out myself, I wun bring stroller (havent tried before la) I will just use carrier coz very difficult to go around with the stroller. So my criteria is just that it has to be foldable into a good size (else the care boot no space) and can hold the bb till quite old. Will check out quest though .. Trying to think of a way to go isetan during lunch tomorrow then can meet up with u ladies ... but dunno what to tell my boss leh ... "boss, I wanna take longer lunch coz i gg to a private sale at isetan. Can?" --- will my boss box me for this?!

hee hee (a super good excuse to go there shopping too!)Blur mummy,
Oh dear, I have not been sleeping for many nights and this morning I gave no.1 milk to no2.. Didn't know till helper told me...
No.2 finish the milk. But the vomitting is terrible... 4 times ..
Batgirl ,
If we purchase the ergo together got discount or not?
Ergo ,
What is the difference between sport and the normal?
Maclaren xt,
I have total of 4 stollers, when I had no.1.. Finally bought maclaren, tho it's heavy but it allows 1 hand operation and very stable for heavy bb. And do not take too much boot space

Michelle,
Poppy's eyes so big.. I think that's the reason Declan was so fascinated and wanted to check if it's real or something. Of all things, he go and touch Poppy's eyes...
maple,
Yup, got your email.
Star,
I will probably celebrate them together... cos I'm a cheapo mom
pettygal,
Maybe they are teething? Milk fussiness & night waking sounds like teething troubles. I would say don't worry, cos babies won't starve themselves. But I'm sure you're very worried, so want to try giving them smaller feeds but more frequent?
Qing,
The shipping really very cheap already lor. Think it's very hard to match the price liao. I also very sim tia when I bought the teether, cos Declan's actuallly gone through 2 other ones, but those 2, he either couldn't hold it well enough (cos it's like 1 big piece kind) or like not interested one. I think he uses this giraffe more often than the first 2 combined lor. So expensive, but at least worth it la. So hope Barbie accepts it soon & make your money worth!
smigglep,
Wah, so you must have brought one big bag out to Vivo yesterday?
Yup yup, reserved Apr 8 for Kayden liao.
Jacelyn,
Same same, if I'm alone, I will only bring sling. Cos this boy has the pokey backside syndrome, after a while, cannot sit in the stroller liao. NTUC stroller also like that. So I'm not going to risk bringing a stroller that I don't end up using.
Eh, if your boss say ok to your request, please let me know. I will go ask your boss if he/she needs a PA/secretary.
JSP,
Oh dear, hope it's nothing serious.
Cellow,
If my hubby is around, he will auto-operate the stroller. I figured when I have to use it, I will figure it out. So until then, don't wanna waste my energy or brain-cells to go operate the stroller. Sama sama for the car seat lor.
Rena,
Oh dear, you must be so extremely exhausted. Try and take a rest whenever possible ok? And see if there's any other small thing you can pass to your helper. You really need a rest...
Re teethers:
Will post here once the business is up.. thanks all for your enthusiasm!

oh no. due to the many days of medical leave/ maternity leave that you took in 2008?
what was the official reason given? u think that was the real reason?
*thinking who are my women's activist frens now*
rena,
hope #2 is ok. sayang him and you too! catch some shut eye whenever possible. even lying down is better than busying yourself... hsework can wait... the hse wont care... but your children need you to be in top form.
jsp,
ernest looks like a perfectly healthy and normal bb to me, not easily fatigued also, so prolly not the major version, if there is any. stay calm ok.

Declan & Poppy in a catfight. Ok, only Declan was fighting. (Mommy is absolutely horrified and says sorry sorry sorry... she will make sure that next time, Declan's hands are tied first before any phototaking is done)
Declan acting innocent: "What ref? I didn't do anything...!"
Poppy: "Mom, why did you put me next to this ruffian?"
Declan: "Oh no, I'm in deep trouble..."

Ok, if HB is not, then Ernest definitely not major... cos the only way to get major if both parents are minor. Cellow is right, stay calm, it's ok one. My hubby is minor, and he's still full of nonsense

JSP, just read on the link that u gave. Hopefully its not serious since your HB dun have. And U definitely is normal looking so so confirm even if have is the super mild case. So that means ernest should be fine too! Dun worry too much. But do go for the review soon though.
Smiggle, u know u should wait for termination! coz usually they will give you a package ... even if it sucks i think still got a bit lo (heard that the standard package should be 1 year of service u get 1 month's pay ... not sure if we are protected by the law though .. should check out the MOM website!). But u mia not your fault mah. Hmmm your co not very pro family leh ... nvm la since the mgt sucks even if u stay dun think got qian tu too lo. Take this time to spend more time with kayden ba. Heard that recently job market very quiet.
BBP hahahahahaha declan is definitely fasinated by pop! Where were u guys? How come got such a nice sofa ah? So cute.

no need for apologies la! did they fight? haha no la. i think they were just being friendly. and poppy also tried to claw declan right? they are even! lol. but i forget - did you flip the cushion back at fullerton? where declan left his mark? hehe. and lol about 'declain want to check if poppy's eyes are real or not'!!! wow you caught very good pics! mine are still in my phone. i'll send to you once i download them. maybe in a couple of weeks *sheepish look*
omg the 3rd photo, poppy's expression is like 'what is this boy doing la dey?'. got the hand gesture and shrugged shoulders some more!

hmm. tough. i think when the kiddos are still small, it's ok. but when they are old enough to know 'mine', then i think should separate. but likely that relatives will only go one, right?
pettygal
don't worry. i think they all go through that some time or other. it will pass.

aiyoh you. why like that. drink water ok? like army water parade. when qing ask you to eat charcoal i thought like huh? bbq charcoal? but then i realised she meant charcoal pills oh hope everything ok with ernest's blood cells!

you molested my baby!!! when i was busy eating my kolo mee is it? that's why i never noticed haha. maybe it was your molesting that made poppy forget about the warm diaper keke. 'wah my bum bum warm warm, got someone stroking my arm... this is the life!' lol

bbp,
wat a great series of photos! i m sure declan din mean any malice, just curious abt poppy's eyes. poppy looks so resigned....
smiggle,
if retrenched then yes u get retrenchment benefits. find out wat they are. if terminated due to non performance, then think got no extra leh.
however, it depends how your boss plays it... he might be telling u one thing while telling mgt another. you need him onside to fight for u. ask for interviews w HR w your boss present, if it comes to tt stage. dun trust him 100% ok. do your homework.
i was in a situation before, 2 mths preggie w Cedric and looking out for antoher role within my coy, bcz the IT proj i was working on was implemented liao, so dun need me. kept getting rejected in intervws (of cz i was seeking a promotion also la, lateral moves would have been easy for me) till i finally confirmed my curr role in Feb 08. HR was talking retrenchment benefits and maternity benefits (whether to give me or not) thro'out Jan and early Feb 08... make me so angry n worried.
at that time, i was prepared to play hardball, write to Forum page / AWARE etc, and ruin their hard earned corporate reputation if they din give me my maternity benefits.
luckily din come to that stage.
be prepared.
bullyg women at work just bcz of pregnancy related issues just gets my back up!

poppy is sooooo going to break a lot of hearts when she grows up.... Look at her staring back at Declan after he pokes her eyes... sooooo cute... Declan must be wondering why you let him share his seat with poppy that;s why the poking??
pettygal, dun worry about baby fussing milk, ethan went through that stage, and if you ask me, Still in this stage. He drinks like 90ml each time, and can tahan 4-5 hours one loh... recent photos shows he lost so much weight.. but no matter how i force, he will not drink loh.. just suck suck action but nothing goes in... so I give him more solids, which he prefers so let it be lah... nowadays nite time when he super drowsy, then i force 150ml, but he still wakes at 2 or 3am for another feed.. no longer sleeping through... sigh sigh sigh... i have learnt to "kan kai" le...
Smiggle, your company soooo bad. insurance company? tell me which one, i dun buy insurance from them! hee hee...

your ergo, the kiap behind, can move higher so it's more within your reach. also shoulder straps can tighten so poppy is closer to your body. coz after my hubby uses it, the straps are looser for me, my shoulders will hurt if i don't tighten them.
cellow
when you started cedric on the sleep training, without latching, i remembered one post that mentioned he only cried for 10 mins? i tried with pomfret, 15mins screaming like being tortured so i gave up. sigh. how.
yeah and the worst thing is, sometimes the HR is also staffed by women who've gotten pregnant and done the whole mother thing, yet they are the ones who said things to me when i was pregnant like 'you all pregnant, going for holiday, of coz we make you work harder now'
smiggle
if you want to keep working, then just hang in there first and like cellow said, make sure your boss is really telling you the truth. we don't know your boss, but they could always tell two different stories so they don't seem the bad guy y'know? if you've always had great performance previously, use that to back yourself up.
okay, scrolling back to catch up on rests of posts

Jacelyn,
We were at Starbucks.
PB,
Yup, I flipped both pillows before we left, it would have been too obvious otherwise. The photos? Multiple shot mode - 6 continuous shots. And still, half of them were blur due to the moving boy.
Yah, Poppy so cute right? The action is so cutely adult-like!
Isn't it amazing how babies don't seem to blink very much?
Michelle,
Haha, maybe. And coincidentally you're right. Declan & I were in that sofa before the photo-taking..
Aiyoh, this boy ar... so young want to bio char bor liao. I must talk to his dad liao.
Are you bringing Ethan to the sales???
cin_bunny,
Ooh, can imagine Sophie looking at you & thinking "hmm, this tastes funny...". So cute!

dustee,
i was lucky i guess.
cedric is turning out to be an adaptable baby.. watever new parenting ideas i got in my head, i just try out on him and then he adapts after a week or so. sleeping w/o latching was one, getting him to sleep thro the all-impt-1st-class-ticket sleeping hours (mine! not his) from midnight to 4am was another.
ya. their cry during the sleep trg w/o latching period... can really pierce the heart. at times, i was wondering wat i was doing, berating myself for being a bad bad mummy.
budden the rational side took over, also talked out my feelings to HB. gotta endure, o/wise us parents suffer in the long run.
gotta talk sensibly at work during the day, and get ourselves safely to work and back leh. every night, sleep deprived, how can. later not only look like panda, behave and talk like panda too!!
bbp,
starbucks at fullerton hotel? got meh
