Little twin star,
Your maid got off day one? My maid dun have. So what I do is I dun let her hold any money, I bank in all her money into the joined bank account every month (including her Any Bao we gave her during CNY and her BD). Whatever she needs (eg clothes and pads) I buy for her. I told her b4 she goes back I will check her belongings and if I found any money then they are mine. So now I dun care if she has stole my money or not lo.

Megan,
I have the Baby can read series. I find it quite good. Captivates my son's attention.
Little twin stars,
At the beginning, my sis lost $1k when my maid came. But my sis is those kind leave money all over and her bag wide open. So sometimes also dunno is it she drop it. I didnt ask the maid cos I'm thinking if she did steal it, she will surely hide it in not obvious places so hard for you to find. And if she didnt, not nice to falsely accuse people. In the end, the lesson learnt is that ultimately you have a stranger in the house, you have some responsibilties to ensure you dun leave temptation lying around. Finally, if you keep demonstrating you dun trust the maid (check her things, check her wallet), then how to trust her with the most valuable thing=your child.

My baby's weight at 2.3 @31w6d but my gynae said it's ok since hubby and I are big and tall. Lost 1 kg since following the strict diet. So far gain 10 kg.
Are you having a boy or a girl? Mine is a girl. They say boys will be bigger.

cannot control leh..just need to eat..
Hey Megan, Fitbaby n Yuuri,
So good ur babies all at a very good weight... Mine only 1.5kg at 31 week... My gynae say baby is petite, probably genetic... She also say most likely baby's birth weight wont hit 3kg... I'm a bit discappointed leh... was hoping for at least a 3kg baby, but having difficulty putting on weight leh... My only consolation is that, easier to push out smaller babies...

Oh I went for checkup yesterday. Gynae said bb is ard 1.8 kg @ 32 weeks, head still down, considered average! Wow I saw other mummies bb at 2.5 kg, mua **stress. Yesterday after checkup, hubby bought durians to feed me. Think I will try to Eat more now, cos my eating habits quite normal so far, but weight gained already 17 kg. Only thing I can think of is my really bad water retention problems.
Me too! Don't really like a maid hanging around the house leh. Used to have 1 maid for 1 month, don't like. But if I still can't find a bb sitter, i will have to settle for a maid for at least a year until my bb is ready to be sent to childcare.

little twin stars,cocomo,
my maid no day off.. sigh. sometimes i think it's not that we dont want to give them off day but the problem that comes with the off days are really headache. If they are honest and dont give us problem, then we would surely give them off ma. Thats why i take my maid go out sometimes so i tell her, no off day but we bring you out. better than you got off and spend your money unnecessarily.
Magan,
Yes I bought the baby can read DVD I very kiasu hor ...

I very kiasu hor ... re: maid
my HB just took the maid to the agency... guess what? that stupid staff is on leave & the rest of the staff duno what's going on & never buy the test kit... my HB was furious as they thought he very free... even got the cheek to ask him to sign the rest of the papers... he refused & say he will sign after confirming she not preggie 1st... then the agency say they will bring her to see doc & asked my HB to come back to fetch her in the afternoon... my maid haven even eat her lunch yet, duno whether they will feed her or not... damn irritating!!!
re: baby weight
i tried to eat a lot of durians & haagan dazz ice-cream & annum milk to beef up my baby weight cos i heard from my neighbour & cousin that MTB who are on long term ventolin tend to have small babies... plus risk of premature delivery somemore... my gynae commented that my baby at 1.819kg @ 32 weeks is considered big for my size...

I hope my girl tall like hubby cos he is very tall
re: maid

Hi Avocado,
Oh cos before pregnancy, I already have water retention problem. So it just gets worsen as the time comes by.
7 mths onwards can start to drink coconut water. Up to individual body, some ppl drink once a week, some 2 in a month. Haha I drank 2 in a week, only for a week. After that forgot to drink liao.
Oh now I am drinking Daisy fresh milk, Enfamama & at times Goats milk. I like goats milk cos I find the texture is thinner & easier to digest. But for those ppl who cannot stand the goat 'smell', better not try!

RTCP,
if u read my earlier post, i don;t leave things around to tempt my maid and i;m not the type that anyhow put things. all my valuables have been kept, only left with those 3 coins that hubby happ to put. i was very happy with my maid and her performance, of cos there are areas to be improved on which i give and take. i am just disappointed and shocked that she will dare steal on her 3rd day with me.
i employ my maid strictly for hsework. don;t worry, i am taking care of my baby myself.
different pp have diff opinions on how to handle a maid. to me, i just listen n set my own rules. before i employ a maid i will also "judge" pp for being too suspicious of their maid and wander if it's their own carelessness. if u know me personally, u will know that i always give pp a benefit of a doubt. just so unfortunate that my maid will have to re-earn my trust. this is not what i would have liked. i think pp who employ maids will know what i mean. nevertheless, i will reset some boundaries so as to have a better living environment for everyone in the hse.
megan,yuuri,shenny
