Re chirpy Jace,
I realised cos Jace has always been a chirpy gal! I highly doubt I will be chirpy at any single point during my pregnancy or childbirth or post that, except oh yes... when I got high on the laughing gas. Veeeeerrrrry haaaapppppy.
PB,
Eh, horrible la you. Old maid = MIL. What ever will you MIL think?? Heehee
Technically, Hugo was't wrong in appraising you as a regular, but I think all bosses normally give chance to newbies, but Hugo being Hugo. Oh well. Go apply at Cin's company la.
And you ARE a very gut lat mother lor. Baking and cooking and freezing her portions. If hubby and my roles were swapped, I would demand that he learn how to cook. Oh no wait, he would just outsource that to the maid.
Caving when nurse said no milk? Yeah, me too. Plus Sir Dec did not want to latch too.
Dd,
I agree kids can be left alone to play on their own, which I feel is necessary to promote independence. But that part about leaving them to the maid and grandparents... I disagree cos no matter what, it's the parents who deal with discipline problems. I'm VERY sure the maid and grandparents will just give in to 80-100% of Dec's whims and wants, variation depending on the particular individual with grandfathers being 100%.
And Old Maid = MIL for you too? Tsk tsk
Re having more kids and letting go,
Haha, my cousin-in-law told me the same thing about letting go when you have more kids. She said:
#1 - you want to and need to control everything and everything must be done according to your style
#2 - most things are ok when they are done generally in the direction you want cos not so much time to control everything liao
#3 - you want to help me take care of the kid/kids? Take them!
SY,
You sms me about MacRitchie plans ok?
SD,
Hang in there. Ashley is such a sweet girl usually, so it must irritate you even more that she's behaving like this. It'll soon be over and the sweet girl will be back!
Re BF:
But how do you know if they are hungry cos they didn't have enough the previous round?
Maybe it's cos we are experienced the 2nd time round, we will find it easier. And we'll know when the nurses are being helpful vs interfering.
youpi,
Haha, so it seems like you're even further back for vaccinations. But we have to get them up to speed when we send them to school right? I recall reading something like that in one of the school's websites.
Jace,
She's sooo cute!
Old supreme Court sounds so interesting!
