mickeymouse,
yes estima is almost exactly like the previa. just that shd anything happen to the car, like you need servicing or something, you can't go to the borneo motors or something. that's what the salesperson told us.
flos,
i had four in the smallest avent size. 140ml max. i never never had that amt of breastmilk so the four small bottles were quite sufficient.
homeschooling,
yes. it is very demanding work. also, you need to write and prepare your syllabus and send it to MOE for them to scrutinise and approve. there are definitely pros and cons to this. in school, kids are drilled at a very young age and become somewhat exam oriented and grades driven. however, it gives them the chance to socialise and learn to work in teams and cooperate with others. not that hs does not allow this to happen. parents who do hsling will have to apportion appropriate times for such to happen.

stef&seanbabes:
is ur cycle regular? if the answer is yes, buy clearplan OPK to test for your ovulation day, then do the deed in 24-36hrs time. best to buy and monitor the trend for a couple of mths prior to DDay.
for more details, read up on shettles method on the internet

Flos,
thks for the tip.. my hubby thinks i'm crazy to have this idea. but i'm quite serious abt it. i feel somehow it's incomplete if hv a gal. but i also want my #4 to be a boy so that i'll get 2 好s. if this time is a boy, i will just stop, cos no 好 can be formed if it's a boy. but since it's a gal, possibilty of another 好 is there.. just hv to make sure the #4 is a boy, which is another 50-50 chance.

wow aloevera
if divers give birth to boy due to pressure in the water, how abt pilots???? Will they give birth to boys due to pressure in the air?
I think my hubby flies as freq as a pilot... keke
Talking abt that, my relative who is a pilot had a son last month!

Cars
Thought the previa and estima are the same, just diff name -one pi, one thru toyota.
wish: minuses that led us to get the picnic instead were: Wish has no rear aircon at third row and last row a bit cramped, esp for long distance. we need our car for malaysian trips. also picnic boot capacity is better than wish.

ava,
yesssssssssss. the third row has no blower. so it's really really hot there. my girl will perspire like crazy. regarding third row leg room, so far it's still ok for my height (1.6m) there's very little boot space when the third row seats are used. if they are put down, it's ok.

father's activities and offspring
I find my guy friends who were very active in sports tend to have girls....also I heard that the guys who were very "naughty" (i.e. lots of girlfriends etc) also tend to have more girls...maybe retribution....cos next time have to fend off the daughters' boyfriends...
Mums of girls, is that true?

i thot so too...swollen feet should come later..i wonder why i get it so early..what causes water retention? Not enough water? I have been feeling thirty but i do satisfy my thirst.
talking abt cars, my car's insurance, maintenance and inspection are due..and my car is 4 years old..thinking if i should change..however i need a cheap and big enough car...any suggestion?

bacon, i think cheap and big car doesn't apply to us anymore.. COE as u know is going up.. and probaby will go up some more (we guess).. plus Yen appreciating..
before you start car viewing, maybe you should check out your outstanding loan with the bank to see if it is worth to change anot..

umm.. u wanna check with yr gynae... thirsty n unable to satisfy thirst sounds like gestational diabetes... are u taking lotsa sweet stuff? I also not sure wat causes swollen feet but prob due to poor blood circulation. Think u shd seek doc advise early
Ava... one of my male classmate who is v v active in sports got a girl... my neighbour who jogs and exercise regularly got a boy. So i dun think being active or not in sport makes a difference.
Haha.. nowadays, girls also cheat boys... no longer only the other way round... nowadays teenage girls getting more n more scary and vain

I have swollen feet too.. my feet looks like pig trotters.. lol. Think we need to up our intake of water & reduce intake of salt.. but water retention is quite common in pregnancy, nothing much we can do about it.
MrsYap
Not sure of Bugaboo Bee's price in Australia.
sunrays
Yup.. I even asked if we have the Mothercare card, are you entitled to discounts, they say, nope, nett price, only can accumulate points. So really no choice, need to pay $999.
I used to drive a Suzuki Jimny 5 to 6 years ago.. cute car but really no power..
Now I'm driving the Daihatsu Terios (like the Toyota Rush, just that the Rush is PI), love this car, great fuel efficiency & quite powerful for its size.

bacon&egg,
so u take very salty or sweet food? last round, i took alot of sweet stuff, and my water retention was very bad. esp in the morning! my fingers n toes were so stiff tat i couldnt walk properly and bend my fingers!
think you shld point this out to your gynae during your next visit, or they can do a urine test for u.. but meanwhile, do avoid overly-flavored food or drinks k.. go easy on salt or sugar until u are sure nothing is wrong ok. =)

Jaymickey,
yes. i saw from website Jimny is at 59.9k
within budget.. but still considering whether to get 2nd car. cos expenses will be high
aloevera,
last time before hubby and i got married, i used to try to teach him to swim.. but not successful. he is so tall at 1.9m that he doesnt even need to know how to thread water or swim.. so i really gave up.. he got no sense at all in water..

I used to eat that frequently while studying in Australia. I will add pork or chicken slices... complete the meal with Korean Kim Chi... sour n apetitzing... yummy

ying ling, thanks! but i must warn you that i haven't done any vo work in over 10 years!
ying ling & sarahmay, my colleague once brought her son's p1/p2 math to work as she didn't know how to explain it to him. it was passed around and to our horror, none of us did, either, without resorting to algebra and simultaneous equations (but that's not right cos we can't explain it to the kids). she eventually found a math tutor who showed her how it was supposed to be done.
i hear that parents who intend to homeschool their kids are required to attend an interview with moe for some form of assessment. is that true?
flos, yup i have an elder brother. his english name starts with p – is he the same person you were talking about?
momoko, i didn't study jap. once dated a jap boy so i picked up a few phrases here and there.

Hi all,
I went for my routine scan last Fri, and I saw my baby's genitals immediately once the scan started! I am having a boy! Am feeling alittle stressed, from the anticipated amount of chasing I have to do now that I will have 2 boys in the house.... sweat...
Really loads of boys for Sept moms...

Mei (meie) : hubby got the pillow at $150 at Baby Avenue at Balestier road. Here's the link to the pillow: http://www.bigvpillow.com/thera_bigv.html
My hubby is also the one going gaga over strollers, car seats, baby carriers and clothes for the baby! I'm the rational one who's stopping him from buying. Yesterday, he wanted to buy this cute little romper (cost $230) from Armani for my son's 1st mth birthday celebration! He only stopped to think when I told him we dunno how big or small he gonna be yet, so it's useless to buy that now since we can't change for another size if it doesn't fit. Plus Club 21 kids will have sale in May/june.
alabone: thanks for sharing. Hmmn, I have no idea if my baby will latch on cos I have slightly inverted nipples and not sure if my baby will latch on, so my plan is to pump out for a max of 6 mths if I can. If baby can latch on, guess can BF for longer.
SarahMay: thanks for the tips on wearing the rompers. Mothercare ones should be easy, but those my hubby bought may be challenging cos the opening is smaller.

I have been following this thread passively since I was preggy..
Just had my DS last thurs and it's a mickey for me... : )
Baby is generally in good health but slightly under weight.
Doc says baby should weigh around 500g @ 21 weeks but my mickey weighs only 406g...
So I guess I should buck up to eat more so that mickey can really grow!!!!

I heard pple who is exposed to radar equipment (ie: pilot etc) has a tendency to ‘produce’ male babies. My brother who works in SIA oso kena a bb gal 5 years ago. And my hubby who was serving NS then was in the wat radar dept. He was blabbering that most of his officers have daughters.. hardly any boys. So, I thought, ‘Ermm.. den mine will be a gal’. But neh.. end up up boi oso leh.
BB weight
My bb weights ard 300+grams at 19weeks. Bt huh? u mean the bb is supposed to weigh 500g at 21 weeks??
A big jump leh.. sure or nt huh?? :S
I dun haf craving to eat more leh..
I read that preggies shldn’t have the mentality to eat more cos they are eating for 2. They just need to eat 200 more calories per day. For me, I dun haf craving for food.. .i onie eat when I am hungry which is ard 3 times a day nia lo…I hope I am normal?

Hi Mrs yap,
I weigh 47kg before preggy. Now @ 21 weeks going on to 22 weeks, I weight 54 kg... So I guess all the weight is put on me, rather than mickey...
Yup, heard that durian is good for baby, so already gobbled down loads of durian last weekend.

Goldfish,
My bb also weigh around 300g @ 18 weeks. By right, bb's weight will increase tremendously during this period.
But doc and friends asked me not to worry so much about bb's weight cos their weight will 'jump' alot during last trimester.

thks to all who replied abt my last query
at least i knw i'm not alone.
i've always wanted to stay in a 1-bedded ward when i deliver at TMC but heard tat the cost is quite exp... as i'll be going for c-sect n this is my 1st bb, i really hope my hubby can stay wz me when i'm in hosp... i've heard abt the free upgrades to a 2 bedded ward for those who chose 4 bedded but is this guaranteed? sigh, i'm in a dilemma really. i dun mind staying in a 2 bedded if the cost difference is substantial but i worry tat i maybe 1 of the unlucky ones who dun get the free upgrade ... anyone can advise?
