Meie... i think u can start using the baby heart beat monitor already. Wow... where is Baby avenue? I went to Cloud 9 maternity in Suntec today and bought 2 lovely dresses... couldnt get anything from Spring maternity though...
Mrs Yap
I tried using the monitor last week, but can't really hear anything, just swishing sounds.
Somehow I just stopped buying stuff for myself & started going crazy buying bb stuff... lol.
SarahMay
Baby Avenue is at Balestier Road.
www.baby-avenue.com
Here's the changing mat, $39.90, I'm going to mount it on top of my baby cabinet.
Bath tub, $22.90, the piece inside is for newborns to lie on.. after that it can be removed when baby grows older.

Durians and cheesecakes... my mouth is watering. I love durians but my hubby hates it like poison so only time I eat it is at my mum place.

5kg for 5 months preggie is ok. I gained a kg a month too. My last pregnancy, I gained a total of 10 kg and most went to the baby, I guess.
Sarahmay
You can get 2 piece swim suits from Funfit, can find the brand at Metro. Cheap and good. The prints are not very nice but for serious laps at the pool, they are ok, at least for me. I go to the gym and do laps at the pool for fitness now.
Mrs Yap
Are their clothes nice? I never buy any maternity clothes for my first pregnancy, only this time round I bought some bottoms from Old Navy.
Mickeymouse
The Honda Stream and Mazda 5 are both 7 seaters.
Ying Ling
My girl is in Shichida since Jan, now in the 2nd term. Results, I don't think you can see it so fast but she can remember things she do in class and repeat it back home. There are a lot of things she do that surprises me though I'm not sure if it's Shichida or just her since she's a very active and curious baby to begin with.
She can sit and listen throughout the whole lesson cos everything moves very fast, each activity is only a minute plus. Then again there are times when she gets grumpy if she miss her nap, so choose the timing of your lesson properly.

<font color="ff0000">storeberry (storeberry) & other MTBs - So I did my detailed scan yesterday & we are expecting a baby BOY!
He was very active but corporative & we could confirm for sure its a "he". Baby's development of all vital organs are also perfectly normal for wk 20 *phew* They provided a CD of about 20+ photos, & we have uploaded some http://smallfattoes.blogspot.com/
If you are on facebook, the pix are here as well:http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=14373&id=650743986 (add me into your facebook too!)</font>

Yah, we have 10+ boys & 4 girls confirmed in this forum now right? Think the ancient chinese gender prediction calendar was accurate for alot of us!
Jaymickey (jaymickey)- i had my detailed scan with TC Chang at TMC. Thought the cost of the scan was inclusive in my package, but turns out that we had to pay $200 extra!

Where did you do your scan? They even provide you with CD... so nice.

Mei, ALabone: The bathtub looks great! Maybe I shall get that…just dunno if I can transport it over to Macau easily or not later on.
Mei: Isn’t it good that you are buying stuff for bb now?
Bigtoes: Congrats on having such a healthy Mickey!
Ying Ling: I don’t really have links with the expat mums group. Will google and see if anything comes up. I only know links for the Singapore homeschooling community.
Stef&Seanbabes: Wow! You actually count? Ok…at least now I know that my brekkie is at least 400 cal cos I drink milk with wholemeal sandwich and cheese everyday. Aiyo. I think maybe I need to eat more… You don’t get hungry? My bb was doing well when I was 16w5d, but doc still says I need to try to eat more. And I am trying… cos I lost 1 kg instead of gaining any weight.
Storeberry: Aiyo! You naughty girl! Do you have instant noodles on its own? Or do you add extra ingredients? I’m going to stay far far away from them …try at least. Hehe.
Xuanting: Sebamed has deodorant?
Maternity Clothes: Spring clothes are rather nice but I find that their sizes are a bit big for me. I can’t find a single pair of paints to fit me…even the slim cut one doesn’t flatter my butt. Hubby always says I’ve got no butt…Sigh. I also tried THYME, their XS is too big for me. Sad… haven’t been to Cloud9 and the other shops at Paragon yet. Will soon! Oh! Old Navy clothes when they are on sale are sooooo affordable and their designs are yummy! Hehe. Just got a black bubble tie-front dress frm them for only 35! Hehe…wished I bought more.
p.s. MTBs don't you find that now you are preggy, you feel more keen to doll up? I dunno why! But i definitely feel more happy when I dress up!

I know how you feel coz sometimes I feel that way too.. that time my hospital called to clarify something with me & I kept on asking the nurse if there's anything I should be concerned about when all she wanted to confirm with me was my billing & next appointment date.

sarahmay,
TC Chang is from W C Cheng clinic at level 1, near the taxi stand. He has his own equipment in his room, so all the patients from his clinic will look him up for DS. we dun hv to go up to level 4. but i dunno the price diff btw him and level 4. u may wanna call up and check if u r keen, coz your gynae wont be the one doing the DS for u anyway! =P
i've been to the room at level 4 b4, very cramp & dark inside...

Meie,
your chest of drawers really looks like original piece, very matching! i actually wanted to get something like tat but i know BB's clothes will start to "grow" and so in the end, i bought a bigger cabinet.
I shall take a pic of it and advise the dimension to show u all tmr, coz it's cheap! only $190, for a big 6-drawer cabinet. it comes in walnut color, and tat's the matching color to my paintworks at home. the space is sufficient for me to put my breastpads, babywipes...etc and all the new stuff for the BB. if u guys r keen, then i shall let u know the contact of this shop at bedok tat my mom happened to find!

<font color="119911">SarahMay (sarahmay) - TC Chang is the head of fetal unit at TMC. He has an arrangement with some other gynes (think M Tan & WK Tan) to do all detailed scanning of their patients. His clinic is on L1, under WC Chang & Associates. Think the others usually go up to L4 for OSCAR/detailed scans.
aloevera (loever) - The package for WK Tan is only for consultation & delivery. So all other incidentals (medicine, scans, etc) are chargeable. For the detailed scan, not much of an option - need to do it go make sure baby is healthy, and hence need to pay the $200 extra.</font>

The Ikea cupboard is really cheap, at $149 only.. the 4-drawer one costs $169. But you got to set it up yourself at home. The mat costs $39.90.
aloevera
Please take a picture of your cabinet & show us.
I know this cabinet will definitely be insufficient as mummy is a real shopaholic but it's for temporary usage only as I am currently living with my in-laws & I have space constraints in my own bedroom. Next year when I move to my own place, I'll definitely get a bigger wardrobe & decorate the entire baby's room.

Big toes: Congrats to you!!!
how come your gynae has become TC Chang? Thought u were seeing the celebrity gynae WK Tan? You've got a CD? cool...wonder whether LC Cheng will give me when I go there for my DS scan?
SarahMay: I also used some Dr Hauschka products last time. Didn't know they are organic. Thyme pants' cutting not very flattering on me
I recommend Bloomingchic to u last time right? Hey, is Macau still hit by Typhoon? R u back in SG yet?
Dolling up? Absolutely! I'm now into costume jewellery to distract pp from my bump. I just bot a few pairs of shoes from Pedder Red at their sale. Hiak hiak!!
koras: ok, i'll drop by the cheesecake cafe at LPS when I walk down there during lunch. My workplace is at TgPagar so I rarely venture to LPS.
Mrs Yap: I agree with u that Cloud9 is better than Spring.
Mei: your new loots are gorgeous! I like the bath tub!
storeberry: yep yep...I am still using my perfume, makeup, mask, nail polish... etc.
Ava: huh? u just saw my post?!! kekeke! i'm now in marcoms, previously in agencies. Boutique creative agency? that's really cool. Boutique, not as in 'fashion boutique', but as in 'small' right?

stef&seanbabes (limyg) - the cost from TC Chang was $180 + GST = $192+. More expensive maybe cos their GE equipment is clearer (not sure if that is the case), or cos TC Chang is the head of TMC's fetal unit, so they included his consultation cost? There is nothing else other than a CD with 20+ screen shots & a 2 page write up.
Flos (flos) - yes, my gyne is WK Tan. Just that for OSCAR & DS, she sents all her patients to TC Chang, then after the scan I still need to see her for my regular appnt.
