jmon,
no, I haven't popped yet.... hee..... gynae said still too early. Probably another two more weeks. The brown discharge false alarm. But did feel more BHC these few days.
lbt,
my #1 had night feeds till he was 8+ months!!!!
Jaslyn,
good to know your girls are doing well =) My mum always says bb if can sleep well, will gain weight faster. Don't know how true it is. But every time, my #1 naps..... it's time I can do my own things, or just simply take a rest.
qing,
your info on the false contractions are good. Now I know what I'm experiencing are fakes.... hee hee..... I also more relieved...... want bb to stay inside longer.

Pedi:

hmm not that being a wet blanket but in taking care of children even me and my mum have different views. so really depends on how open minded your MIL is and how well u guys communicate. my mIL does things that i dun like and it took a lot of hinting and sometimes outright saying before she gets it.

they very no common sense one. this thing abt making the milk too hot makes my blood boil. my maid also did the same thing. put in water that's too hot and the milk was so hot. i asked her whether can drink or not and when she tested she said cannot. i told her off and said i cannot check for her everyday. after that she got the temp right liao.
JSP
hmm, not that we have probl with maids but these are problems that needs to be ironed out at the early stage. once they get the hang of it, they are ok. my maid is generally quite ok but really no common sense at times and i dun have the energy to go and teach her common sense lor.
how old is your MIL? if she's quite old, then good to have one more person ard. nowadays bb are different

But sometimes I think they not really that stupid one ...
just that they think that if they dun do properly, next time can no need to do already.
I think my maid thought that I dunno what going on in the house when we are working. It is better to have someone to supervise them eg. MIL.
But I scare change already, still get someone no IQ one ... vomit blood.

hee, recently i ignore my MIL a lot cos i was quite pissed with her over her endless pregnancy related questions. think now she got the hint and dun dare to ask liao. but once in a while she cannot help it and will still show her anxiousness over her daughter (even when her daughter not ard)....

Quick update about today’s gynae check…. In the right corner, at week 36, introducing newcomer under the heavy weight category, weighing in at 3kg…. Poppy…. Bunny!
How? I win or not? Seriously, isn’t that like the average weight of a NEWBORN baby? Eh… I don’t want sumo baby leh.
Gulp. I quite scared leh. I just told her, come at week 38 la ok? Please? Cos if tahan till week 40, I cannot imagine squeezing a 4kg plus baby out of me leh. Hubby said ‘hmmm maybe it WILL do you good to drink coffee and induce labour?’
But everything is a-ok with the little girl. Gynae even showed us her…. Er…. Let’s just say it’s confirmed she’s a she
Re stiff fingers
He said it’s water retention. Cos the area around the wrist (the veins I think?) cannot expand. So everything that goes to the hands and fingers stay there. That’s why stiff. So ask me to lift my hands often. Alamak. Like airing armpits?? Maybe I should install a pull up bar in my house (so 80s hor?) and hang loose there during my ML?
Delphine
Thanks
treasure hunt is actually my family tradition. Then I did it for hubby and he does it for me now. Of course we’ll do for poppy next time also. He got me a camera! I’m not a technie so I trust his taste
Do1nk
I dunno who is Austin the designer… I just watched one or two episodes hehe.
Everybody, the crab beehoon tonight was FANTASTIC!!! I was almost licking the claypot. But lucky my husband held me back hahaha
Updates
Speaking of birth plan. At gynae clinic today I said ‘can we share with you our birth plan?’ and he (gynae) made a face. He said ‘I hate birth plans. If you want to do a birth plan and you want to plan everything, then I might as well not be there and you deliver the baby yourself’. We were like HUH?? That sounded a bit unprofessional leh.
I regained my composure quite fast and said ‘we just want it to be as natural as possible. And tahan as long as I can, until cannot then I ask for epi’. I mean of course I know they are the professionals but I also don’t want to be offered a cocktail of drugs from the minute I step into the hospital la.
And he took a rather long non work related phone call during our appt. like HUH??? We’re beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable with his bochupness.

Pinkbunny, the bottle caps are plastic ones, not metal There is a cover in the middle, can remove to put in the teats.
Bluey, can u PM me on how to order the pump? I've asked my sis to buy for me but she said her schedule is very tight. So just in case she can't get it for me, i'll have to order myself. Is it easy to order, and how long does it take to reach us?

Dor Dor,
Condo? ... so near yet so far.
I do hope I live there so I wun consider moving house already. When the condo was launch, i wanted to get a unit but it was sold out.
My gal everyday keep "boi" people play tennis and swim there.
My friend live there but he have rented the house out. So I can't go over too.
U organise spree also must tell me, hor?
I also have dogs, leh. Also got bullied by my gal.
Hannahl,
Buying online quite easy ... It should take 2-3 weeks. So if you wanna get it in time, better order now.
okie ... cut n paste from my email to all the enquires abt my pump.
"I got my medela New Freestyle breastpump from Add A Little Love www.AddALittleLove.com @ US$290 (including domestic shipping $5).
As for vPOST shipping is about $83 for my set.
Please note that you might be charge GST (7%) for the items by vPOST since the cost is above SGD$400."

hee, hee I'm at Bishan almost every Sun 'cos my mom stays there. We have stayed there for sooooo long... would say we were one of the first to move there... her place should be pretty close to yours...
Dor Dor
The interaction between your dog and boy is so cute! Was laughing out loud when I read your description.
PB
Wah, Poppy is growing well hor! Never mind lah, bigger bb is not so fragile lor... I would prefer if my boy hits 3kg or more by the time he is due!
Bluey
Like to check with you if it would be better to go by CGW or VPost for bulky items? i heard that CGW is cheaper for bulky items. I'm looking at getting the Avent electric pump from Amazon but they don't ship outside US for electronic stuff.

re: birth plan
My gynae din make a face when I brought up the birth plan but he did say 'you have to trust me to do the best for you and bb'. Words sound ok but there was smthing in his tone... that just.. i dunno... sounded like he wasnt really ok. Checked in my reaction w HB, and he said he sense the same, so it wasnt my hormones over-reacting.
Dordor,

re: bb's weight.

good morning everyone from a very sleepy bunny...
but very happy because today is the last day in a long time that i will have to wake up to an alarm clock! woohoo!!!!
dor dor
no worries, we also felt he was a bit unprofessional. throughout the whole journey, he's been rather bochup la. and i've talked about it over time as well. but yesterday really made me feel like 'huh?'. but we give him benefit of the doubt la. maybe his intentions are good but his choice of words could have been different. anyway IF we have #2, would like another gynae la.
hannahl
oh ok! we start the sumo club! hehe. i really hope this little woman comes out about week 38. you? hoping for full term?
re stiff fingers
ok yesterday i tried sleeping on my side, and hugging my bolster. but instead of letting my hands fall to the side, i put them both up on my pillow, next to my face. and they were not so stiff this morning. still stiff, but not so bad. guess they were slightly elevated la.
star xin
you don't be so bad leh. my hands very itchy.... i stay tiong bahru. how far east are you? my parents stay tanah merah
cellow
yup like you, it's not like i am doubting that he does a good job. of course we know they want the best for us and baby, but i just think he shouldn't shove our birth plan aside esp after i really spent alot of time thinking about it leh.
i just don't want to be one of those women who end up saying 'i didn't want a c-section, i knew i still could do it, but my gynae was in a hurry that's why i landed up in the op theatre' you know?
but despite his attitude, yesterday i found myself saying many times 'we just don't want everyone asking me every few minutes if i want the epi. i want to tahan as long as i can'.
you know what he said to that?
"you are singaporean right? sure cannot tahan very long one".
what the....
i was really quite pissed lor. i think my tone was quite sarcastic when i said 'well i hope all that yoga i've done helps'. THAT was the only moment when we both felt his tone softened and he was genuinely sincere when he said 'ya actually that would probably help'. the only time he wasn't sounding very yaya.

re weight gain

jas,
yup i'm getting a CL, hope she's ok.
PB,
erm..in fact alot of gynaes doesn't like the idea of birth plan, so they may sound quite offended abt the idea. but just ignore him lor anyway he'll only come in when you are fully dilated and ready to push.
the most important ppl to inform abt your plan are the labour ward staff. i didn't draw up a birth plan but i gave the staff clear instructions(nicely of course) that i want to breastfeed immediately after my bb's delivered and at MAH they didn't rush me into getting a epidural at all, i was the one who told them to page for my anaesthetist to come..hahaha
re: gynae appt
i won't get to see till next thurs when i'm 37 wks, can't wait to pop soon. i wonder how much my boy weighs now
dor dor,
i used to have a dog too, really miss him very much...he went missing after maid and mil didn't lock the gate after me and hubby left for work. was extremely upset over the matter for quite a long time. my dog's temperament is fantastic, and you won't believe it, he doesn't even hump bcos i didn't like that...
celeste,
i've been planning on new hairstyle for after confinement too, been thinking abt doing hair extensions hehehe

i cant tahan ur gynae leh. I think my gynae would be happy to hear abt the birth plan but yet give professional advice. last time when he induced me for contractions, he did ask me to take epi immediately. I say i want to see how long I can tahan. and he just smiled at me and agree.
and making a long phone call during a patient appt is very unpro lah ...
i think we need someone more sensitive during our pregnancy and not to be suan by them and feel sore after that !
anyway... good to hear that poppy is doing soooo well ! and Hannah too ! ur babies are big !!

snl,
I only ship my items back by vPOST. Been using it for years ... so not very sure on cgw.
I know that others charge lower but I also heard/read many of them faces a lot of problems/issues.
I prefer to pay a bit more for a peace of mind.
Bishan:
I am one of the "pioneer" there too. It used to be my parents' but later I brought over when I got married. My parent brought another near the ITE side.
Mayb we all on the same block, seeing each other everyday.
Mine is the "big, flat" block that face the tennis court ...
Awake in wee hours:
Used to it already.
I sleep very late every night around 2am. My gal sleep @ 11am.
CB products:
I have not tried them before. I just "heard" that they are quite good.

haha 'dio suan' is the best way to put it! sometimes when we leave the clinic i feel quite cheated. like huh? i just paid money to be treated like this? i'm just a regular blur mummy mah, why have to make me feel like a stupid child leh?
but anyway, sudah la girls. thanks for the support. i've decided to just ignore anything negative now. as long i am a happy mummy and just give everyone benefit of the doubt, then ok liao
fiona
thanks for the reassurance about MAH. they all look like nice folks so i have a good feeling we'll be in good hands
JSP
i went from very long hair (about bra strap length) to bob to quite boyish/pixie-ish now. i loved going for the drastic change. must gai bian xing xiang once in a while
esp in my job i think. cannot always stick with the same hairstyle. sian la! plus there was a stage when ALL the girls in my dept (5, incl me) had long rebonded hair. yawn.
re engagement
hey when does baby's head get engaged? as of yesterday, not yet. so engaged means any time can come liao ah? or still must twiddle thumbs for another few more weeks kind?

Morning!
I had a good dinner last night at Al Forno. And I forced hb to get my fave choc cake from Temptations at Katong so dessert was fabulous too! I think bb and I put on a lot of weight yesterday, hehe!
Bluey,
There is a new condo being built at my side of the kampong, you can check this one out ;p
PB,
I thought your gynae is usually very relaxed and easy-going? That's what I heard. Maybe he has had bad experiences with other mtbs who have birthplans. At least he knows what you want, that's the most important.
Just to share, my gynae is usually considered to be very interventionist and medical, ie. plan everything to the last minute. But when I presented him with a birth plan for #1, he was fine with it. In fact, at one stage during the very long labour, when I got fed up and asked "why don't we just do a c-section?" he actually scolded me and said, "I thought you wanted everything to be as natural as possible, why even think of having a c-section?"
