Krex/Snow, I only gave BYD recently because he woke up crying very badly, probably because of his phlegm build up at night... then refuse to latch back to sleep... but then hor, he was still very awake at 11pm last night, 2 hrs after i gave the BYD, hor... I will not be giving for long term... vits like cod liver oil and sambucus, I will give daily regardless if sick or no sick...
lingling,
i ask for multivits from pd cos he is going cc soon mah. so i kpo thought of boosting his immunity loh. who knows he got such reaction from it.
snow74,
yah. didn't know he got such strong reaction to it leh.
jen,
mulitvits must give in the morning one. can't give at night. if give at night then no need to sleep liao loh.
krex78,
our car loan is already paid off liao, so the car is officially ours. if buy new car now though got sponsor still need to pay for loan leh. having a small car also means that we don't need to send and fetch people around cos no space mah.
when #2 comes, i will need 2 car seats. then really got no space liao loh. hhahaha....
giving supplements or not depends on individual lah. i think i will stop liao unless he keeps falling sick when he goes cc.

can share with me what will your decision be if its you?
should i swop partial of my work with my colleague? the difference is the work location and also focus. currently, i work in marine parade and focus is on HQ's work. my colleague is working in serangoon and focus is a business entity.
my immediate boss ask if i want to swop so that i'm nearer to home, no need to downtime and yet able to be in time for work and home to send and fetch yu ze.
though i don't really like to work with people in serangoon but handling them is no issue. they had requested and wanted me to come over long ago.
as i am only swopping partial of my work, i still need to spend maybe 1 day in marine parade a week to do another portion of my work, which means i have to take cab to and fro for that day.
is it a clear cut answer that i should just take up the offer and swop? so that i get to enjoy the same pay, be able to send and fetch yu ze at the same time. am i being unfair to my colleague?

his consideration might include ur maternity leave duration?

Sooooo ANGRY!!!!
Both C & C are having fever, flu and cough.
And poor clara got to be on nebulizer.. yesterday's fever was so high that I got no choice but to rush her to KKH in the evening... (ALONE) while poor Cheril has to be taken care by maid.. Imagine worrying one with high fever while the other one at home with the maid?
While in hospital, Clara refuses to let me sit on the chair.. I had to stand almost 5 hours and even struggle with her when she's on nebuliser. Came home and I'd diarrhea for five times already.. now I'm almost dehydrated.
I'm so mad that someone is having a hell of a good time snowboarding.. told me to wait for his call and waited up to 3am in the morning and no call.. sooo pissed!

hi mrs teng - poor thing. hope Clara and urself is feeling better. Ok punish ur hb when he comes back by not cooking his meal for 3 days. Let him eat ta bao food! u take care.. rem keep drinking water cos u cannot afford to fall sick too.. all mummies cannot fall sick cos bb will suffer
Mrs Teng,
sayang sayang. He can't help it lah, even if he were to take the next flight back, you also need to endure another 18+ hours right? I hope C&C will recover soon and that your maid will be trustworthy. you take care yourself!!
My #2 is having fever almost a week liao. she needs the fever medicine like twice a day. and she is starting to cough quite badly too. i will need to bring her to Dr Gong this evening. I also fear for my Jer cos both of them are very close and maid also need to do housework so can't separate them... quite worried too.

hi all,
i haven't been able to log in since fri evening...dunno why. anyone has the same prob? i can only access threads for jan, feb, and mar mummies. strange...
celyn,
half of me wants to upgrade to MPV and half of me wants to retain my current car so i dun have to fetch ppl here and there. if i have #2, it will be full house coz' i still have my maid who will need to squeeze in between 2 car seats, haha.
as for your work arrangement, i think serangoon seems to be a good choice if you're able to adapt. u will incur more in cab fare but if your current salary can cover the amt as compared to u having a pay cut, then still not so bad. else maybe take public transport? i was taking public transport for the greater part of my pregnancy. still bearable coz' my train journey is not that long, so even if no one offers seat for me, still can tahan
btw, what is down time?
mrs teng,
hope things are better at home now. your hb on holiday or biz trip? maybe u have a gd talk with him and let him know how stressed u are handling the kids at home? with men, u need to tell them straight in the face...they can't decode hints one...

Morning mommies.
Haven't been in here for nearly a week...How's everyone?
Re: MMR + Chicken Pox Vaccine
Brought Anvelle to PD ytd. There is a combined MMR + Chxnpox jab. Had to top up $30 for the combined although I paid for the package. Found out after jab that she will need a 2nd dose in 3-4 months time. And that 2nd jab will cost me another $120! Only thing is she will not need to take the jab at Primary 1. So mummies who took the combined jab may want to check on that.
Shint,
Agree wif you. Taxi is probably the most convenient way to travel. But personally, i prefer to take the train coz dun need to open n close the stroller.
Celyn,
Maybe it's the sugar content in the multivits tat is making Yu Ze so hyper? Anyway, I asked my PD when I brought Anvelle for her MMR + Chickenpox vaccine ytd. She said no need for multivits if her diet is good and complete.

Celyn,
If you are ok wif Serangoon n no pay cut, can consider. Seems gd idea to me.

mel,
so good. mine only drinks milk once a day (1st thing when he reaches MIL's place). he doesn't even want to hold the bottle and i'm scared to make him do so coz' he will sometimes decide not to drink and he'll end up having NO milk for the day. the other day, i was just casually telling him to hold his bottle coz' he was a big boy and he spitted the bottle out and decided not to drink anymore *faintz*

It's easier said den done... go check in hotel.. sleep also not peaceful.. mind will be worried if the Gals are well taken care of...
Anyway, I'm down with high fever now.. throat very sore ... just all the same symptoms as C & C... Even my maid who caring for Cheril also kena.. So this morning, all the four sick ladies went to clinic and ask for non-drowsy medications and anti-biotic to standby...
Poor Clara's nose is bleeding due to the suction and constant rubbing and sneezing... aiiiiyooooo!!!!
These 2 gals really knows how to bully mummy when they are sick. Last nighte, Clara woke and and refuses to sleep.. and insisted that I carry her and stand up at 3 am in the morning.. this is really killing me man!
MummyNana

don't know leh. anyway, i stop him liao.
krex78,
yu ze also drink from milk bottle. i didn't change or intend to change to cup yet cos he is not good at drinking from cup. he will play with it. then if drink from straw cup, i scare it will be too hot. cos his milk is 50% hot water and 50% room temp, so it could be a bit hot to drink from straw bah.
he does drink milk from straw when we are at rasa sentosa but its cold milk.
mrs teng,
hugs. hope all of you get well soon.

celyn,
why dun u give him milk at room temp in a straw cup then? J also likes to drink from adult cup but most of the time, the water spills out, haha. the last time J drank cold milk was when we visited hay dairies. even then, he wasn't really keen and he seemed to prefer the choc milk

Krex,
I dun think she will drink from the straw cup. Actually I m fine wif her still using the bottle. So never bother to switch. Do you want to try the Avent sprout? I can pass to you since Anvelle doesn't want. Only tried once.
Celyn,
Stop wat? The swop of manpower? It's your call, gal. See which is more convenient n comfortable for you.
Mrs Teng,
Poor you! Whole hse of sick gals. Hope all of you recover soon. Wan me to ta pao dinner for you? I need to go get dinner. Gran is sick and has been for the past week. Think I hv to send Anvelle to CC soon...Headache! Any suggestions beside LV at her void deck?

Although my gal drink from cup but i still have to hold for her if not she won't finish the milk. Currently she drink twice a day, once in the morning & before sleep. But of cos sometimes will "Nao Kai" & reject milk but most of the time she can finished 80%-90% of milk. May be u can try use normal straw.
Mrs Teng
Hug! Totally can understand ur feeling... at the meanwhile rest more... okie? Hope C&C speedy recover oso...
