yeah i think it's a good buy too. Don't think got cheaper price in Singapore. But in US, dunno whether that's the cheapest price actually coz I told my fren no need search ard, just get from Toyrus.
wah seems like Neo garden very good. So many of u all give positive feedback. Ok, i can consider it.
<font color="0000ff">twin star</font>
Actually i also planning to use nappy cloth to swaddle which I think my CL should be using, as that's the traditional method.
hee...but since my fren is in US, i just ask her to get the SwaddleMe as it's quite cheap there, US exchange rate is low ...keke.
btw, rgd full mth celebration, i noticed this is the norm: if that person got attend your party, then no need to give the full mth package/cakes,etc... You only give out to those that cannot attend your party or to those you not planning to invite to the party.

i think bb clothes should be cheaper in hk. my mother bought the bb clothes for me from Jusco in hk.. cost S5 to 7 per piece.
Heard from my another hk friend, she can get 1 bb jean jacket ( for 1 year old) from Garden Street.. cost only $2 and lots of cheap bb imported clothes there...
i'm going back to hk next weekend.. will go there and check it out
she also recommended me to buy nursing bra from hk

Hi Ladies, thank you all for your concern. Me & family is handling well. Yesterday I started to cook dinner for my dad & bro. haha turned out well, so happy! 
Cos all along Mummy was around to do the cooking, i just took advantage & waited for the meals to be ready.
Well, for the past few days Me & hubby felt bb's movements. The movements are from inside, so very sure its from the little one. Now I am in 21 wks. Tummy getting bigger, have slight problems to reach my toes!! Face still have outbreaks.
Now in the process of searching for a confinement lady. Next checkup will be in the 24 wks.

yesterday quarrel with my hubby again..he still "whack" me the same despite im having bb.. He keep screaming n yelling so loudly in the car (at me) till i scream back n alighted in the middle of the road! I just run across the road after alighting from his car n he just drove off...
Sometimes wonder why i married such a hubby....
I give in and said sorry... cos i got no family (my parents in heaven when i was young) to turn to..my silbings all got their own lives liao.. Sometimes feel very sad...But luckily got a channel here for me to "vent" my fustrations. All started coz i was flipping through his past, that i keep asking him why that time he got bonuses he bought a diamond ring for his ex-gf n treat her to BKK..but for me, he never splurge except a prospoal diamond ring. He explained then he saving for wedding and now he focusing on setting up family.. And he say all the things i wanted very expensive. Pls lor.. just a simple bracelet only, how much only? $100 at most..but he say he too busy to go n buy.. n everytime got free is with me...sigh. Boils down to got 'sim' or 'bo sim' only...
I really really really envy u all for having great hubbies to treat u well... Cherish him!
NiNi,
Hope u r better by now.. i don't have family in singapore.. i have no where to go when i quarrel with husband.. i used to quarrel a lot with husband but now we are better ( after i'm preg
as we seems appreciate each other more and i always feel very tired,.. sleep all the times.. no chance to quarrel with him)... haha my husband seldom buy me things.. always say need to save money for bb etc.. haha
u must take care urself well.. dont be unhppay ...

nini,
don't be too upset. maybe your hubby is really saving up for the family and baby. its not that he don't want to buy things for you.
my hubby also seldom buy things for me. whenever i ask if i will a diamond earrings or bracelet, he will always say he got me a diamond ring (proposal ring) liao. must save for baby.
take care and don't be unhappy.

Nini,
Hugs! Don't ponder too much...alot of guys don't like their past being dug up, so maybe he reacted more strongly than you can take. Somemore you're preg now, so everything will just seem worse.
Think in the positive sense, he is thinking of you and the bb and how to provide for you both

Nini,
cool down and dun be upset, you will affect your BB. I agree with YLN that to set up a family not cheap unless you all from a wealth rich family which can support your family well. Maybe he just want to save up to give you and your BB a better and comfortable future living? To me a diamond is a waste and I rather save the money to use it wisely on BB.
My hubby seldom buy things for me as I work as well, if he has bought also those practical type and cheap stuff. I told him no need to buy things or flower for anniversary or birthday coz it waste money. So normally he will cook or we go out eat a simple meal. Most of the BB stuff I bought it myself, I paid for my gynae consultation package. Then he will pay for the delivery charges etc.
Think to have a comfortable and happy family is rather important. You also dun want later everyday worry about money when need it right? After BB was delivered you will need to spend a lot of money on immunisation injection and PD consultation. It is not cheap le. My son was sicked this month with flu and cough and I have spent $300+ for consultation and medication liao.
However, I do believe that sometimes a little surprise on present to us will actually make us happy and 'wo sin' lo
. Cool down ok. I belileve your hubby's primary objective is to care and hope to bring you and your family a stable and comfortable life! Isn't this more important? cheer up ok!

sorry to hear what happened yesterday. Hope you are feeling better now. YLN is right, your bb is your family. Just think of the bb and forget abt the unhappiness ya.
Actually I also agree with your hubby on the point that need to save money for family, especially now with a bb coming. You have to remember, with his ex-gf, it was just that, a relationship and he was young then. Some men are like that, when young, just spend and spend without thinking.
My hubby also like that last time when we were dating stage. But since got married, he bought me less presents and since got preggie, no more presents liao! hee...but it's me whom tell him not buy me anymore expensive gifts. To me, even $100 is expensive. Having a child is expensive nowadays. Their education expenses alone will cost a bomb.
Since I'll be a sahm, thus we are prudent in our spendings now, coz will only have 1 source income.
You should think of the good side, i think your hubby is a good man, he's working hard to giving you and kid a comfortable life. Perhaps he's super stressed with work and thus is so insensitive towards you now.
I know we preggies carrying a baby is very tough, have to go thru emotional and physical changes and all.... But sometimes we need to give our hubby a break too. Especially those that have stressfull job and are the family sole breadwinner. They are afterall human too, they have feelings and temperament too. Perhaps yesterday your hubby had a bad day at work.
so cheer up ok. Think of your bb and everything will be fine.

jo, haha same boat! my hubby got me a goldheart engagement ring as we were really young then when we decided to get married. i dun suppose he cld afford the few thousand-dollar rings. i never really asked for another one coz' i don't like jewellery. i'm more touched by the small things he does for me, like cut apples at night and create an innovative dish for me. last nite, he served me cut apples with yoghurt topped with 8 pcs of ring 'o's and he named it sunrise surprise. i just cldn't help laughing!!!

Hi Nini,
Try and not to think so much, its not good for yourself and baby. Sometimes, guys can get very "perky" when comparison are made. You are special otherwise, he won't marry you right? But after both of you have cooled down, perhaps, you can talk it out that if he wants to get any message across, speak nicely to you.
Do take good care ya. Think positive.

krex, ur husband is really sweet!
guess all of us here have hubbys that does sweet lil small things for us once in a while, but we just conveniently forget about them, but we choose to rem and magnify those not so good things they have done.
there must be a reason why we married our hubbys. Must be cos we feel he is dependable and able to take good care of us, among other reasons. I think its due to our pregnancy hormones that cause us to b fustrated w our hubby over small things and find ourselves pathetic when they dont give in. Hee, thats me lah.. blame it on the hormones!

nini,
hope u have cooled down
yr health and baby's is most important now. must remember to think of the little one depending on u ok. i really agree with wat YLN said. we cannot compare what our hubby's are like a few years ago as situation is different. then, all of us have nothing to worry about. only thinking of enjoying ourselves and be happy. never think of saving money at all. guys do change when they are older as they are at a different season in life. believe it or not......they have "nesting" instinct as well. when their wife is preg, all they think about is how to make more money to feed the extra mouth in the family without loosing their present standard of living. yr hubby may be stressed with finances to "hong" u in a sense for the time being. while he's in the stressed zone....he'll blow up easily. no choice lor. both u and hubby need attention at the same time, so why don;t u guys enjoy the moment together......when baby arrives, very hard to have "er ren shi jie" liao
remember, don;t ever ran out of the car and dash across he road like that anymore ok. yr baby will be scared scared hor.
you take care. go eat some ice cream to cheer yrself up...i always do
hope u have cooled down
you take care. go eat some ice cream to cheer yrself up...i always do
Thanks everyone..
U all make my eyes teary.. I feel really touched to read your replies.
All of u r right...sometimes i wish someone could slap me awake n come back to reality, n stop being so dreamy...
Yes for the sake of bb, bb depending on me so i must take care of myself more...
I am just mentally-unbalanced when i think of how good he used to treat his ex-gf...then now, he gets me nothing...Yes i was hopping for sweet little surprises... He can spend his $ on cars etc. which he thinks is neccessary n practical. I never stingy on him one, i bought him lots of presents n gifts... But like he said to me, dont expect ppl to treat u back the same... I guess i just have to accept my fate n move on... bb is my everything.
Once again, thank u so much everyone for listening to my whines... Appreciated it
