re: ML
intend to take only when bb pops to maximise my 12weeks of maternity leave. Anyway agreed with my boss that I would take 10 weeks straight (read: dun bother me - my hp will be off as well) then work half days from home from 11th week to 14th week... Boss good - anything also can discuss. Just got him in Apr 2008, during one of our 1st conversations [non-bb related stuff], cannot even rem wat qn I asked him, and he asked me my opinion back. Seeing my hestitation, he told me 'No is an acceptable answer too.' Wow, never know a boss can say that. Resolve to reason w Cedric when he is older and out of bb stage, not just impose my will on him.

Thought by law, coy supposed to give 8 weeks, then the govt pay the coy for the other 4 weeks?
SDchick, cinbunny, your company policy to give you only 8 weeks meh...

Star.... u ok this morning?
 


mummies
i guess too many posts to catch up

went for my check up yesterday. bb still doesn't want to turn. she is still 2.5kg @ 37 weeks. seems like never gain weight. but gynae said got space to turn as she is small.
 
Good morning ...
Still working today but looking forward for tomorrow as I will "see" my baby again.

I just hope that the gynae will tell me something like lbt's gynea ... which means that I will deliver my baby #2 soon. Dun really like the feeling like a " fat sitting duck" now.

I got a new PC education software for my 4yr old daughter yesterday.
I think this is one of the best software which I have brought. Graphics is very good and is 3D.
So if mommies do let your kiddies play with computer ... can consider this.

My gal is playing the Preschool ... I guide her for abt 15 mins and then she was left to play by herself. Good for me, as I could rest

ML
I'm a PR so only get 8 weeks. Hiiks... So if want to extend, must use AL or UPL. My boss is a little unpredictable. Sometimes he's ok, sometimes he's not. depending on his mood. Tsk tsk tsk.. As whether or not UPL will affect appraisal.. I guess different company/boss has different view on it.

Pee on a stick
Exactly!! with the big tummy, it's so hard to "aim" hehe.. Last doc visit I emptied my bladder in the office (wrong move!!!!) so when I reached the doc place, I only have a little left and with the tummy there I only have like 1 drop on the stick hahaha...

Cordlife
Aiyo how come diff answer ah... anyways, I would just be kiasu and call them when I go to hospital and also after giving birth.
 
went to see gynae yesterday. bb boi is 2.3kg at 34 weeks. testes has descended and head is down but not engagaed. and will do my strep B 2 weeks later.

enjoying my leave at home! lalala!
 
SY,

Yup ... I got the 3D one from the website. (Jumpstart WORLD)
I brought the downloadable one ... too lazy to look for it at the retail.
I call Popular, they say they dun carry the 3D range.

Dun get the none-3D ones ... quite boring and the graphics are not nice. They are recently on sales all over Singapore.
 
Jenny

I am using Mona too ! I used her for after my 1st pregnancy and I can see results too. But a col of mine use her but the results arent fantastic.

But she is really popular as her charges are low.

btw congrats to u !!

how many weeks are you when you deliver ?
labour story ? pictures ?

did u go communicasia and broadcast asia?

doggiebb
i also wan to enjoy my leave...
sad.gif
but boss said cannot go on leave yet.
 
SY,
Although registered ... but decided not to go.
Actually wanna go n see all the new technology ... I m a "technie freak".
But I think they see preggie lady also dun wanna entertain one. So go there also "gong gong" walk around.

I actually told my gal that she could only play for 1 hour at nite when I am back.
But she also have to show me that she hv did 1 simple page of writing from a "assessment book" which she would do in the afternoon with the maid. Other times, she would play with her own toys like lego & cooking stuffs.
I tried very hard to "balance" her "lifestyle" for her ... so if I m on leave or in the weekends ... It will be going to the library, beach or park, lor.
Well ... being parent of this era ... what to do?
But I dunno why, I just resent the idea of sending her for classes like mindchamps, etc.
Maybe I find them too ex$$ and over-rated.
 
hi hi...

yesterday it rained as we were going out for dinner and hubby reminded me 'you sure you want to wear your new birkies?'. hmmm. so sayang. got new birkies but got to protect them from the rain. my stomach will prob keep the top dry, but the bottom will still get wet la hehe

dor dor
i also failed strep b, don't worry. you got your pills to take? augmenten i think. and the nurse said she'll put me on the drip during delivery. which means.... i still can eat or not ah? hehe. very yeow kwee.

dustee
eee why your boss like that one?? UPL means we don't get paid leh. does he think we like it? basket. and if the company is more pro family, they would give more leave to mothers, and we wouldn't even have to consider UPL!!! grrrr. i'm angry on your behalf!

re tailbone pain
A SIGN OF LABOUR? i've been getting it on and off la, but last night was quite intense. i am still not sure if i am getting BHs or is it just poppy shoving her butt into my tummy. cos my tummy is always like quite hard lor hehe.

re insomnia
don't worry, i also wake up at about 6 plus cos my hubby's alarm is so irritating. then after i push him out of the house i can go back to sleep till about 10

take afternoon naps, they're good for you!

re peeing
i have to pee before i leave every destination, and pee again when i reach the next. so most times when i reach clinic, i have to pee. hubby always says 'are you sure? cannot tahan a bit more? you know you will have to pee on the stick very soon right?'. i tell him 'do not underestimate my bladder. sure got more to come one' haha. now i try not to go squatting kind cos i very scared i will fall forward and hit my head. centre of gravity. haha.

btw now going toilet, stand up, sit down also make alot of noise. very paisay! haha
