Dim sum dollies
HI!!!!!! I am finally out from that 4-wall room with a group of old, boring MEN talking rubbish! All the time thinking of siew mai..... you ppl ah! tempting but yet can;t go lah!
sad.gif
any photos to show?

PB, WOW! Poppy sooo sweet .. you sure you are not some part time photographer? most shots you took very "peotic" one wor... this one hor.. cannot see the background so Qing cannot "catch".. heehee...

Qing, aiyo, you let your barbie cry until like that still take photo.. cute leh!
happy.gif


what is this talk about flowers? what flowers? i cannot remember when I had flowers.. i kept the dried up one from last time, shifted from old house to my MIL, put in centre of bedroom, then shift from my MIL to my new house, put in the centre of his study room... then as i put, i say to my MIL loud... wah.... this flower so strong.. can last so many years... dun think the char tao hubby caught the hint. sigh.... anyway, i am not a flowery kinda gal lah... prefer his small small gestures daily lah..
happy.gif


PB, poppy drinking alright lah! dun worry unduly.. my Ethan, only drink 90-120 per 3hrly, but takes in lots of porridge (one big bowl). his intake a day is at most 600ml, average about 450-500. I give up liao lah.. as long as he is happy.. i also dun want to stress out loh...

Update on Ethan
still bogay, still botak (on closer look, only the front, from back he looks alright), can sit oredi but likes to lean back purposely, cannot crawl (or should I say super lazy to crawl, he gives up immediately when i put his toys away from him to encourage him to crawl), his legs seem stronger already.. and he is no longer sleeping through the night. sigh.. past few nites, he wakes at 2/4/6... i fed water water then milk at 6... sigh sigh sigh..

Cellow.. CONgrats on Ced sleeping through! there i told you, he is so guai.. he knows your inlaws arriving today... haha...

did i tell you I am tired? ever since i shifted to my new house, i feel tired everyday.. hubby brought me for a spa last sun... it was soooooooooo shioooooook, but after that, I felt tired all over again... any tonic I can take har? cannot go on like that leh...

Those still Bfeeding, JIA YOU all the way... dun quit just becuase of inconvenience.. once you stop, you are NOT going to get it back.. so carry on as long as you can. *me waving poms poms to cheer you all on*.
 
PB, she was 6.1kg when i last weigh her last mth. now don't know how heavy. haven't been to PD for her jab this mth. =)
ya she had been eating quite little since young. her 1 mth old cousin is already drinking 120ml of milk lor. and she's coming to 8 mth but still drink 135ml. hahahaha

but like what michelle says as long as she happy i also bochap liao. last time will worry like mad lor.
 
michelle
funny la you. what poetic?!

wah shiok your hubby brought you for spa! tonic ah? yomeishu? i dunno. i see tv advert one. think you need to SLEEP lor

oh i really thought poppy like drinking very little. seems to be ok hor? ya, true, dont stress unduly
 
baby going to sleep on his own..
how many of you tried the hanky method and it is working oredi? Ethan has no problem going to sleep on his own liao, including day time naps.. when you see him rubbing his eyes, just bring him to cot, he will cry. pass him a hanky, he stops instantly, use hanky to rub all over his face, turn left turn right. sleep.

most nites now, i just put him down in his cot, and go straight to bed, I been konked out earlier than him!

BUT BUT BUT, why can't he go back to sleep when he wakes at 2/4/6am????? is he sleeping too much in the day and really not taking in enough food?? *puzzled*
 
hello mummies,

how was dim sum???
raining la so heavily that i stayed at home..
my poor doggy got skin inflammation i think... she took out a big patch of fur.. so worryin and my hubby not back from overseas yet...

Kayden now like to eat porridge and cry at the same time.. he cry then open his mouth swallow the porridge then cry again... me and my maid totally dont get it!!
Does he or does he not like porridge???

He is drinking 180ml every 3hrly again... seems like always hungry.. i scared overfeed him leh.. worry he in future obese...
 
PB
LOL on your description for the red plastic back.
it's like,
wife: oh, you buy durian back today ah?
hubby (remove flower from plastic bag): no? it is flower for you.
heehee.

opps...
happy.gif


what hong kong restaurant??
i wan to go too.

oh no rena,
goodluck to you.

michelle
we were too busy eating liao.

and i agree with you on pb photography skill.
i cant forget the beach one. (the one with the bicycle behind)
i love that pic. poppy looks so perfect.

and YES, BM MUMMIES, JIA YOU.
you are my idol man...

hankie method
she never like the hanky. she always throw away.
she prefer to cover her face with her hands instead.
 
cellow.. actually i also dunno what is threadless tees, tee shirts with no thread??!!??.. but waiting for someone else to admit suaku first.. hee hee.. hahaha...

smiggle, LOL on kayden giving you mixed signals on porridge.. does he do the same with cereals or fruit puree?? eh, kayden drinking well is not a problem lah... babies know when they are hungry and when they are full.. so they can afford to drink, let them loh.. maybe kayden metabolism rate high mah.... he certainly does not look "obese-able" lah, dun worry..
 
marina barrage
mummies who been there with babies before, what is a good time to be there? morning, afternoon or nite?

zoo, thinking of bring ethan there too but not sure if he knows yet loh.. last time brought him to sentosa, went underwater world, he slept through. took tram, he slept through.. duh..
 
oh yes, today is already tues hor.
michelle,
u reminded me that my ILs are arriving later today. oh. your inflatable tub seems to be travelling to a lot more places than you! kekeke

ILs
They are great pple, and what makes our relationship even greater is that Mr Cellow conveys my msgs/intent to them. *pat mr Cellow on the back* So he says all the bad things, and I get to be the good DIL. *grin*

PB,
wat was recommended during lunch?? some jumper/romper?

hannahi,
Helper is allowed to sleep/rest in the room where/when Cedric is sleeping. No la, must be humane also. yes, Cedric is dropping hair fm the sides... dunno why... but PD says tis normal during his last 6-in-1 vaccn on 13 Feb.
U changing yours?
I was telling Rena that I admire mummies who have the courage to leave bbs alone w the helper. I dont dare to!
 
Pb,
Poppy is so cute.. I wish I could have a girl..
So nice..she simply sit quitely and listen to this boring
Aunty telling her fan, light... Fan ,light...
 
rena
i heard that you were very sweet and wiped your hands before carrying poppy? hehe. so nice of you!

cellow
no la. not the expensive range one. cheaper things. bottle holder and pacifier clips that JSP and qing bought from BP. JSP best, brought it in her bag som emore!!

michelle
i still waiting for my taggie to arrive so that can let poppy try!

qing
double lol on the plastic bag flowers! hehe. better not let dor husband see. wait tok our heads!
 
Rayna,
I make it a point to not turn back when Declan cries. Cos dun want him to think cry already everything also can. But he's quite ok la. Except for inexplicable crying moments.

PB,
I dunno how much Declan drinks cos I latch. So quite worried that sometimes he don't have enough. But he's pooing quite regularly so I guess he's ok. So I guess if Poppy's pooing regularly, she should be ok too
happy.gif

Flowers & Plastic bags - my hubby skin very thick one, not pai seh when he buys flowers. But... very seldom also. (Note to Mr BBP if he's reading this, NO, this is not a hint that I want flowers ok...)

Michelle,
Shake hand with you.. Declan also no longer sleeping through the night liao. Dunno what happened. My ex-colleague say it's normal.. baby change pattern like change underwear like that. Or in their case, diaper. I just tahan and pray that he will sleep through the nite again.

smiggle,
DON'T worry about overfeeding Kayden. I used to worry about Declan, then now see, he skinny small monkey, I worry. HAIZ.....
So if Kayden wants to eat, please just feed him.Don't make my mistake. He will burn it off when he starts crawling/walking/running. People gave me the same advice before and I didn't listen. Wish I did....

Qing,
Your durian/flower conversation so cute... hahahah!
 
eh! poppy also! now wake up in the middle of the night to play or to cry!

bbp
lol about skinny monkey. sometimes i call poppy monkey also. and she LOVES to eat banana haha.

btw mummies, poppy is grateful for your appreciation of her supposed hair growth. maybe the wig helped somewhat?
 
hope dor dor & husband wont kill me.
sorry.
dor dor don be angry with me hor...

PB.
i don think it is the wig.
maybe it is the 'banana'
 
Talking about fish bee hoon soup / porridge...
I highly recommend the one near my house, in Pek Kio food centre. Fish very fresh, $3.50 a bowl. They also do zi char for dinner.
 
Pb,

It's nothing, just like to make sure hands are clean coz bb get germs easily. I am a mummy also of bb get sick mummy suffer...poppy is really cute so I can't resist..

Plumber,

I just spend 50 dollars repairing..

Gathering..
Let's have another gathering..
If sahm dun mind coming to bishan can come to my house.
I can bake something.. Ftwm are welcome too..
 
hee hee...guess its true that our babies baka cos Dora slept at 11pm+ but woke up an hr later for milk, play till 1am then woke up again for milk at 5:30am.
 
ARRRGHHH!!!

really bak gak ahh!!!

mine woke up at 4.30 am to play until 8am when i went off to work still haven't sleep. WENT ah-pu-pu then tossed his bolsters around and kicked his legs then demanded lights to be on and to be carried!!!
 
doggiebb,
i thot Thaddeus started to slp thro the night since 7 weeks? wah, him too!
all of u mustnt let Cedric bak gak ah... me and HB were so relieved this morning.....

*shooing wake-up-and-play-wanna-b-carried vibes away fm my door*
 
opps...apologies....wrong spelling for bak gak ;p
Pray tat all our babies will sleep thru the nite soon...or else our panda eyes will worsen.
 
PB, oh u got married on apr fools day... Any special reason? So happens it's on a weekend?

cellow, yes, planning to change my maid lah. Those that i want, they turned me down loh.. 3 kids must be scary to them..

If given a choice, i'm sure no one will want to leave their kids alone with maids. I can't be a sahm with 3 kiddos lah. I was sahm when i had #2. Went back to work when he was abt 18mths. Financially very taxing.

bbp, PB, we call celeste siao bu dian.. small, small, skinny, skinny
happy.gif
 
mummies
today jx had slight fever. but still dun sleep after taking medicine. we call her super bb. dun sleep but still can get fat!

re dim sum
sigh wish i cd join. hope can go for next gathering. any mummy keen to come my place?

cellow
hmm, i wish i can train jx to sleep thru. she is quite terrible. nap time also super short now. but i realise she has improved in her sleep behavior.

michelle
your hb so sweet to bring u for spa

hannah
we also call jx xiao bu dian but i think she is one of the heavier gals here. sometime we also call her xiao fei mei (little fat girl). bad hor
 
Wow, after heavy lunch, I had heavy work. Now headache.. :p But great to meet Rena, Dustee and Qing for the first time! Of cos, great to meet cellow, cin_bunny, JSP, PB (and poppy!) again! hehe.. had a good time and good laughs!
happy.gif


Rena, must be damn sian to go back to a leaky tap.. lucky plumber can get it fixed today!

RE: Bfeeding...

Aiyoh... I am feeling guilty. Cut my pump to twice a day, and supplement 1-2 FM per day...:p

Waking babies.

Wu Feng can join the club. For the past week, Wu Feng who usually sleeps thru, wakes up at 3 am and 5am to cry/play. I guess he is not alone..

Travelling inflatable tub,

haha..ya michelle, I think the tub is pretty well travelled...
happy.gif
Thanks for the loan! It is now going to KL next week!
happy.gif


And yes, you hubby so sweet...bring you to spa...I have to bring myself to the spa lor.... Try Yomeishu or DOM I feel it helps. Take it at nite, nice warm feeling, after that sleep....

I also went to chinese sinseh to get some hrebs to boil and drink...very effective I feel. BUt now my ah-boy keeps waking up... back to panda eyes... :p
 
Sally
I like threadless tees, and have admired them online many times, but not bought any. Are you starting a spree? Or are they having a $5 sale again?

Michelle
Marina Barrage has little shade, so go in the morning or evening. We went in the afternoon and it was VERY VERY hot!
Your hb is so sweet to bring you to spa. Where did you go? Good or not? I can drop hints to my hb (who does not read this forum, haha!)

Cellow
I take my hat off to you. I tried to not feed L at night and let hb carry him to sleep. But I cannot tahan his cries, and he will call for me repeatedly (even more lagi cannot tahan) so I am waking up multiple times at night 'cos he suddenly decided to wake up more often. Very very panda eyed these days…

Qing
I like your caterpillar to butterfly analogy. Reminds me of Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which all the babies will probably be reading soon
happy.gif


Smiggleprincess
Could Kayden be having a growth spurt? Anyway, if he takes after your body type, sure not obese one lah!

Bbp
“baby change pattern like change underwear like that” *ROTFLOL*

Fish noodle soup
There’s a good one at Beach Road, one of the shophouses. Always has a long queue at lunchtime. It is next to an equally popular ‘scissor rice’ stall.

At my time so many places were conscious of the millenium bug so most of my friends were on standby in their workplace. Many ppl can't attend my church wedding... My dinner was on 3/1/00 so still not so bad.

happy.gif


I also want to change maids, but can't take leave coz my boss really black face as i haven been spending enuf time in office all these while. Reporting to work late, like 1030-11am kind. I went back to work after 2 mths of ML. So with the hrs worked on the 3rd month added on to the 3rd mth ML, i'm now still gradually clearing off my ML by deducting the hrs each day. I'm already working till 7plus pm to make it look better liao. Then super tired on my part as after that gotta rush off to fetch celeste.

I'm actively looking for maids still...
 
Hippy.. Finally there ate mummies staying near me.. I am at 163...

California bb

Any mummies have lobangs to buy at good price?
 
PB,

ur hair is dropping now? Mine dropped horrendously at the 4th month. Now i have baby hairs sticking out at my hairline. So it is growing back. But your hair looks fine...i have 2 bald patches at the sides... so depressing then.

Rena,

You can check out the BP. Can get from Ima (Pinkcream). The CB cost S$17+... expensive or not huh?

Ur elder boy is sooooo sweet.... can really feel he cares for the young one... lucky you!
 
Rena,

Your #1 so sweet lei. actually know how to take blanket and cover didi's leg. so heartwarming...

Wow so many ppl at Bishan st 13. hehee...

michelle: bbG's doing fine wiv his blankie..even daytime naps in the yao-lan.. but when he wakes mid of nite recently coz not well he will cry n we gotto carry him sometimes.. then he will look around the dark room..and after a few mins we put him down again and he resumes his hankie flipping and zzz again.. wat do u do when ethan wakes?

Cedric woke up again!
once at 4am (MIL went to bao bao and feed him water) and again at 540am. 540am - I looked at my HP then decided wat the heck, I shall just go over n feed him.

Told Mr Cellow that his mum better sleep and not wake up for Cedric. She quite prone to headaches one, so better for her to rest. Anyway got helper wat.. He said he will talk to her.

Dordor,
Yes he v auto one. Sometimes quite funny, I just need to look at Cedric and ILs, then look at HB, and he will auto go and say watever I was signalling to him w my eyes.
As long as D sticks the stickers only in the book... does he?

youpi,
Where to buy the V Hungry Caterpillar at a good price?

rena,
#1 so guai and dong shi. *admires*

bbp,
i so understand what u mean abt Declan looking expectantly when u approach him, then complaining when u go away.

lbt,
wow u were married so young in your early 20s! early marriages - my uncle-like boss said might as well scoop her (his wife) up when he found her at 19. now he is 50, his son is 25 and also married...

hannahi,
LOL. Did Celeste sleep properly last night? If yes, then she is not part of the bak gak gang. Haiyo, your boss black face bcz of lack of face time. Haiyo, doesnt he know that happy pple are more productive?

SY,
Sleep training takes a heart of stone to tahan bb's cries. Need to self-justify that it is for the family's good in the longer term... if not, at every cry, I will be running into the room!

PB,
Imaginary conversation
PB - see this vase? I fill with water now. Would look better with a flower hor.
BB - you want flowers?
PB - one stalk will do, dun need FlowerS!
then he will get it. and not leave the vase to become a mosquito haven. hehe

Threadless Tees
youpi, sally,
I went to look at the website, but I still dun get it. Wat's so good abt them? Are they more comfortable?? *dun tok my head ah* but i was thinking: nice t-shirts, but they will eventually end up as rags anyway, and I have a whole drawer full of tees that I dun wear.
Mayb I m just too stingy. Bleah.
