pinkbunny,
dinner a bit hard for me. but have told hb abt it, he needs so training on bathing my boy and feed porridge b4 18th Mar. bcos he argued with his mum, so right now he will do thing on his own & try not to depends on his mum, if not later she will think tat she's indispensable (correct word?).
good thing tat he argued with his mum cos after the incident, he will share my loads of taking care of ah boy now.

thermometer

but is it special kind for baby or any kind also can?
napkin vs diapers
i'm doing that too. nappies in the day, diapers at night/going out. 1. heard that nappy babies are toilet trained earlier 2. less nappy rash 3. save money! 4. hubby is very environmentally conscious
JMON
whatever the reason, glad for you that hubby is now more hands on!
nursing bras
sorry, so how many should we get ah? and what size? someone was saying what + 2 sizes and + 1 cup up? alamak. ya lor do1nk, women's secrets only got big big size.

Serene,
I think fixing of furniture should be ok. We setup the baby bed too. But should avoid hacking and drilling ,etc. I will think it like boiling water, don't tell me I cannot even do that ma.
Nursing bra,
I bot 2 pcs but now the cup too small for me.... Any mummies kind enough to take it from me? I go back n check the price. Had not wear or wash, so in original condition. Bot from OIO. Very soft and comfty.
napkin vs diapers
I will use both. Napkin more than diapers. Since I'm letting my baby go to nanny, will check with her if can use napkin or not. But if going out, will use diapers. If not where to keep the "used" napkin???

haha pinkbunny...first you cannot see panties..not cannot see toes liao...made me stand up to gauge if I can still see my own toes LOL...btw I still can leh haha but I've never been well endowed..so the one big bulge oredi overtook the two small bumps long ago..
thermometer, they say best to get the ear kind that takes reading in a split second right? coz more accurate and easier to use than those where you gotto stick it into the baby's mouth or armpit or a*** and wait for a minute...

Hallo! I'm due August but haven't confirmed gender yet. Mummies with 2 diff gender kids - do you find that your symptoms are totally different for boy and girl? i'm really wondering what i'm having.

I'm gonna shift house next week. Well mil and hb did ask me not to be around when they start to shift the stuff out. so think i gonna be at my sil place for a few hrs first.
but i remember when im preganant the last round, i was around when my hb and mil fix up her queen bed frame leh...hee...lucky everything is ok with bb but just that he got a tiny little hole at the back of his right ear just like the one i had on my left ear.
but im not sure whether that is attributed to that particular incident.

ya it was me whose hubby fixed up the cot. i was around. no drilling. all screwing only (as in the furniture, don't xiang wai!). i was hardly in the same room as him. i think it's painting and drilling that we cannot be around for la. but if you are pantang, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
the last time we had mini reno works going on i went downstairs for a walk myself. but it took so long that i was very bored haha.
rain
what size is the nursing bra?
used nappy.... got such thing as nappy bag! http://www.bumwear.com/shopping/clothdiaper/bw-accessories.html but oh ya, got to check with nanny if she's ok with using cloth diapers. i guess if i bring the soiled ones back everyday should be ok la
do1nk
haha actually i also just tried. can see the tippy tips of my shoes. keke. just now walking back from lunch i could feel like i was walking with stomach pushed forward, shoulders pushed back. like in cartoons, kena blown by big wind, the umbrella kena turned inside out kind haha.
cin bunny
seems like 18th is the most probable!
diapers
what's the diff between huggies and huggies ultra? how is EQ and sealer ah? any comments?
thermometer
acually what's the diff between baby one and normal one?

aqua aerobics
was anyone asking? i just wanted to share that i've taken classes before, and now i'm going to take up again. the next batch of classes starts in may and the instructor says it's OK even though i'll be 30 weeks by then, but i'm a bit scared la. anyway there is a series already going on halfway. if anyone is like me, and has a bit of history with aqua aerobics liao, can join me on wednesday at delta swimming complex at 730pm. it's $65 for 12 lessons but if we start this wed, we would have already missed 5 lessons, so wed will be lesson #7. but still pay full price of $65. but that works out to $9 per lesson only so still alright la. anyone keen? anyone work around/live around tiong bahru/queenstown/redhill area?

fixing of furniture:
I guess it's the same as confinment. Why cannot do this and that and yet when we look at our western women, their house always fixing this and that, building this and that. Remember, this is what they do during their free time, to fix the roof, or to mow the grass. Not the women but the men of the house, very handy man.
But hor, since we aren't them and we are chinese, better safe than sorry
somemore singaporean kiasee & kiasu
pinkbunny,
should be 80C.
Bellybutton,
I'm still watching out for my bellybutton. seems so tiny now. Hopefully, it doesn't pop!

re thermometer
i tried the head scan one and the ear one. ear one much easier to use. but some bb dun like to have the thermometer in the ear. my boy is fine with it. but the ear one is much faster definitely
Jmom
maybe slept too much in the day lor. when my boy sleeps very little in the day, he is like angel at night...
serene
i want to buy a bed for my boy but my mum refuse to let me buy....she says can only buy after bb is out. but when i had my first one, we also fixed the cot and i was ard..so i dunno why got difference this time round..
re napkins and diapers
i wanted to use napkins but my hb refused! he feels it is very dirty but hard to convince him to use...

angmoh ladies also got their own pantang! very cute one. at our wedding my husband was so strict about not being able to meet me the day before the wedding and absolutely cannot see my wedding gown before the day. quite sweet actually
about pregnancy and babies, not sure, will ask my MIL then come and update!

long run, comparing to disposables, i think it's still cheaper. 1 disposable diaper averages from 20-40 cents. initial outlay for cloth is higher but it balances out cos will keep washing instead of throwing.
ok now since i free, i do price comparison then post up! keke
but i will mix la. not superwoman, and dont want to spend all my time washing and washing! so prob day time use nappy, night time and maybe going out use diaper

I wish I could join the 'big tummies' dinner on 18 mar. But I got ah boy to take care after work everyday, so it's kind of hard for me not to be home on time.
Hmn.. Never mind la, this time you ladies go ahead with the dinner, next meeting probably consider change to lunch then I join you gals, eh sai boh?
Back to breast pump again
I know that some of you swear by Medela PIS. Heard many good comments.
And very few are using Ameda? Saw some reviews that Ameda is as good as Medela PIS, but Ameda is light-weighted, easy for FTWM who needs to bring it to office daily. Also, the price is half of Medela PIS!!!
Anyone using Avent ISIS Dual pumps? Any feedback?
At Taka fair, something funny I've noticed. No one was around the Ameda booth, but many mummies hang around Medela counter. Avent counter, got few mummies lah. Haha.. Judging from the crowd, seems that Medela is more popular ya?
I'm comparing the three above before getting one..

i was using ameda! yup! really easy to bring to office. price also not bad!
i started my ger on potty training when she was 7 mths old but i read that that is early. in most angmo bb books, they recommend starting only when they are 2 years old or something.
my ger's first time on the potty!

OK even if want to be ngiao and factor in laundry cost (of washing the nappies), it still won't be $600+ for a year (simply for nappies)

Oh, so you are the one in 'very few' group..
Is the sucking power of the pump really good? I tried them during the fair on the dummy breast, seems that Ameda is equally good as Medela.
Rain,
True.. I been thru the horrible path too. Must really check around seriously before buying.
If you are set to get Medela PIS, go Taka fair. They have pretty good offer, $679 with a free forehead thermometer.
