alabone: I hope Jared recovers soon. Hope Nat and you don't catch it as well. Take care! *hugs*
mei: popped by your blog, nice name for popcorn!
I'm kinda lazy to blog consistenly and already have problems keeping the one I have with a group of friends. That is more of a public annoucement tool, but with FB, I just update my friends on how I'm doing, with pictures etc, so it's alot easier for me than blogging! lazy mama

Jo jo: Nope, nobody has given me any comments yet. But IKEA is q annoying – special size so can only use their mattress. Dunno how good their mattresses are. I don’t think their adult ones are v good.
Li’l CY: W’ll soon meet in July. Do u have a FB account? U can go there and click to see my face. Hahah. But you being a RS before, we might have met at some briefing la.
Momoko: No worries! So not coming to macau already ?
Flos: Check out the cots if you can. Let me know what you think. Oh! If you can see the mattresses too, would be great. Btw, I thot their bedding only fits their special mattress size? They are cute though. Are they on sale now? Not getting from HK shops…too troublesome. I’m hunting for when I move to Macau. New Yaohan in Macau? Been there…gross selection and exorbitant! And you are funny…”rear elisha’…I dunno why but I always associate that word with farm animals. Hahaha.
Storeberry: When you say cream , what do you mean? Facial or body? Sony has a line of really great skincare under the SONY CP label that carries different ranges – Vecua, Soigne. Got one at Harbour City by ferry terminal. Cheaper than in SG. SONY CP products are used by Dily Wang’s FACE BISTRO outlets. I use them and find them great value for money! Esp their CureCustard mask – heavenly!
Shazz: If you dun use NB size for at least first week or so, will the S be too big? Plus are u getting different brands. From what I’ve heard is tt best to get different brands as bb bums are all different, so may take to different brands as opposed to popular opinion on what’s the best. Pet Pet btw is M’sian…tends to leak. Nepia Jap so is better.
Alabone: Oh dear! Is your son ok? Hope he gets well soon! Fortunately now it is the hols for u.

Swelling feet
My feet have not started swelling yet cos I go to foot reflexology every week (once or twice a week).
But I would only recommend this if you does regular foot reflexology before pregnancy, and that the person doing the reflexology is familiar with you and knows how to tweak the massage cos of your pregnancy. Your pregnancy should also be relatively stable. The rub of your calves are also v helpful in soothing aches.
To me, foot reflexology is my saviour, comfort wise.
I go there during lunchtime to nap at the same time.

I used to do a scrapbook for every trip I went for with my hubby, then boyfriend.. it was fun.. but after our 3-week long honeymoon, we got so lazy, coz too many photos to organise. We did it halfway & it's been left there since.. hehe.
Shazz
Thanks! Coming up with a name is no easy task at all..
I'm actually not a very 'hardworking' person when it comes to blogs & what nots.. even FB account, I only set up after everyone has one.. lol. But I'll make an effort for popcorn's blog so everyone around us can keep updated on his adventures.
RXmom
I also for for foot reflex & shoulder & back massage at Kenko once a month.. really good for soothing all my aches & pains. You go 2 to 3 times a week, that's quite a lot..
Does your baby kick a lot during the session?

SarahMay (sarahmay) : I think you missed my earlier posts. I mentioned I'll get the NB size nearer to my EDD, when I know the estimated weight of Eamon. Then I'll see if there's a need to get the NB sized diapers. Cos some of my friends baby are in the 3 kg and beyond region and they went straight to size Small for diapers.
As for Pet Pet, experienced mummies change their newborn babies every 2 hours, if they're breast fed cos they poo and pee more often. If you change every 2 hours, there's hardly any chance of leakage. But for night, will definitely use Mammy Poko as it's more comfy and absorbent.
RXmom: pray tell, where do you go for foot reflexology? I'm only using my uSqueeze now without the vibration mode, gynae said should be ok.

SarahMay, nope, he is not from the military. Yes, I know, which is why I like to air my angst here, so that I don't keep it all inside, you know. At least it makes me feel better to hear comforting words from you gals.
yan, each of us only have a set of keys to the house. He locked me out by latching the door, hence I can't open it. My friends told me to ask him to wait for me downstairs as it was late but I knew he would be mad so I didn't even dare to ask him and it made me feel sad. I didn't expect him to lock me out like this though. And I thought married people would have more freedom like no curfew.

Millie, yes, I believe he did change after marriage. Feel that he is like 'stricter' and I feel like a little kid all the time being disciplined by him. And he said I was the one who changed as I do talk back to him on and off. But how does one get all these 'verbal abuse' and not retaliate? Sometimes, I do feel that I am being mentally abused.
l'l CY, he doesn't think there is any need for us to go counselling. I think, in his mind, as long as I go according to his wishes, there is nothing wrong.

Shazz: OIc, we're talking abt MATERNITY bras then. I also got mine from M&S lah. Seamless ones, that's correct.
For the MOthercare ones, yep, got seams. Anyway, I'll go to both closer to my EDD to check out again.
Actually, "what's her name?" is going to London, she might be able to find more designs and sizes at the Mothercare and M&S there.
Alabone: I hope your kid is ok. U take care too. Whn did your kid contract it? Just last nite, or since last weekend? Where did u take him to?
SarahMay: I've already seen the Ikea cot. It's pretty low. Is there an Ikea in Macau? Why not get a travel cot? It's easier to shift/ship around.

Talking abt Marie france.. haha.. ask me! ask me! I'd spent thousands of dollars there but I see no results. Even if I see some weight loss, it'll be due to the food intake that I had to show the dietician everytime i go! Its stressful to show that you've eaten a lot u see! So I tend to force myself to eat lesser hahaa.
I totally detest the cold wrap thingy at MF!!! ITs COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD EXTREMELY COLD and I've got to leave the wrap on for 45mins.. brrrrr... and the dono wat massage machine to remove cellulite and melt fast was so painful that i really dreaded it! and the chocolate wrap, nice as it sounds, was difficult and yucky to wash off!!
I still have some sessions with them and I'm afraid to go back though cos I always get PSYCHO-ed to buy another package! hahaha.. HB has oredi banned me from going to slimming centres..

Flos,
if u hv the POSB everyday card, there's additional 5% off the bruan thermometer! they hv a couple of braun design in watsons, not much of a diff, but a few dollars diff to me! so might as well get the cheaper one... i realised the packaging is one blue and one green...?
bbmickey,
i'm into anything "gu niang" except cross-stitching, and i did ONCE for my hubby, bf then.
and i tried scapebook(or rather mine was scrapsheet)once for my elder girl's FIRST b'day, just share my amateur work here..
i must admit tat i felt so much love when i was doing that for her... ^__^

crayonshinchan, jean yip also have diet plans and meal replacement that you have to buy. i followed it for the first few weeks then i go my own way all the while lying to them that i follow their instruction. they had cold wraps too but i told her i cant take cold, so went for the steam type.(according to her is not as effective as the cold one) lucky i still manage to slim down 8kg+ in less than 3months. just in time for my wedding. my hubby is so pleased in fact he is the one who force me to sign up the package in the first place. and when i just got pregnant, he already did his planning and 'force' me to go back to jean yip IMMEDIATELY after i give birth. cant stand him!!!

Hi ladies...
another alternative to Scrapbooking is Online scrapbooking. I did my wedding pics with that. This webby offers lots of ready-made templates for different occasions like weddings, birth announcement, birthdays, holidays etc etc etc. Alot to chose from. U can even chose the accompanying background music. Very easy to use, just select yr pics from yr PC and drag into the template u hv chosen... after which when u are done, u can email them to yr friends for viewing. Very fun and best of all, Its free... check it out.

aloevera: as a matter of fact, I hv no idea the colour of the box. I need to go home and check tonite. Nope, I hv no POSB credit card. I need to apply for many local bank credit cards, now that I am living in SG.
RXmom/Mei: May I know which Kenko outlet u both went to? How long is each session and how much?
crayon: Oh, now I know the Chinese name of crayonshinchan! Like u, I also didn't create a special blog for my bb cos I hvn't decided on his name.
