hello ava,
so sorry about that. but hb just said tuition is cancelled. so this sat he can make it. so i'll be there with hb and the two kiddoes.
wingkei,
ya... wasn't right of him to agree so readily then back out. anyway, i seriously doubt if your mil will wash your underwear for you. anyway, for my previous pregnancies, i've been using disposable panties. i found one particular one that is not the paper kind and is quite comfy. using disposable is more convenient actually. just wrap it together with the pad and discard. dont have to worry about washing and staining, which can happen often enough.

SarahMay: I just googled and found many Chinese chatrooms talking abt it. However, u can't read Chinese rite? Here's one that says it may be too 'BU'. Just take in moderation lor...and increase intake after delivery.

Shazz: Your hb is a Leo? Leos are into aesthetics! I'm shortlising items that might interest the daddy. Practical stuffs like baby wipes, breast pads, nipple cream and sterilisers are not within my hb's radar. To emotionally involve the daddy, I have decided to wait for him to come back and shop for stuffs that are like "accessories" to him
sasa de mouse No bathtub? That's a shame. Anyway, I got one liao. He didn't measure the bb's weight? How can? If u'd asked, would he hv told u? After all, it only requires keying in a couple of dimensions to derive the weight what...
Bigtoes: I'm half outie and half innie!
Storeberry: Nope, I have no such pain at the ribcage. Only numbness of my hands when I sleep.
<font color="ff0000">Baby kicks</font>: My bb only kicks me from evening to midnite. He is rather quiet in the day. Was telling my hb that he might be like us, nite owls! Shucks! We need to ensure that the bb doesn't ruin our sleeping routine...
xuanting: Me too. The more I think abt the laundry, the more sian I am. I think I'll use disposables in the end.

- Electric breastpump
What else i should be prepared with ? THink I have been really laidback in preparation compare to you girls ....

I went for my antenatal class just now & the topic was on breastfeeding. Just to share, when nursing, you can take the supplement 'Fenugreek' which aids in lactation, the lactation consultant says its very very good in milk production.

Jo (jgwee),
Where do you purchase the protector to prevent our menses staining the bed ? Is it placed on top of the bedsheet ??
Mummies,
I forgot i read somewhere on this forum someone was saying need to sterilise the cot bed. How do u sterilise it ? Is wiping the cot bed sufficient ?

Shazz: That makes some sense cos my hb is also a Virgo! LOL.
Storeberry: I just wonder if it would make more economic sense I just purchased all those mundane items like cotton balls, detergents, baby wipes, etc. at my neighbourhood Kiddy Palace, of which I am a member and therefore will enjoy the 20% GSS mbr discount? Adding up all the petrol fees to Cheong Choon and parking fees, etc. at People Park Complex, the costs would more or less be the same rite?!
It's the same logic I won't go to JB to buy pampers. All the time consumed at the customs, and petrol wasted.

Flos: hehe, I have no idea Virgos are into asthetics! haha ... he should have been a plastic surgeon then, haha!
Hmmn, I kinda agree with what you said, all the cost of travelling to CC sometimes does not justify the discount that you're going to have. That said, it's really useful if you have a list of what you want to get from CC, and order one shot and have it all delivered to your place. I've been buying on ad hoc basis, as and when I think the price is good, I'll buy, averaging out the cost, and also only when my hubby is around to help me carry the loot. I've stocked up when Robinson, Watson was selling the Pigeon wipes, cotton buds, body lotions etc during their sale. For members, 20% + 5% (or more, depending on your credit card spending) is pretty good. At Robinsons, they offer free delivery to your place is you spend over a certain amount, think it was $150. Make use of such service, especially if you're shopping alone. =)

Btw, thanks for offering to get the cake, Don't mind the Royale/Caramel as long as the rum/caffaine content is not too high. They all look yummy!</font>

gynea visit

holland v
stumbled upon a shop selling bb clothings..factory outlet - they have alot of brands eg, mothercare, carter, gap etc. Not sure if i can post the address here, if u need the addy, PM me
I bought 4 pcs of carter bb rompers (up to 9 mths old) at $15.
Royale carseat
i got that and absolutely love the plush feel of the material. Mine is in a dark brown tone. Is there other color? or are we talking abt something else...hee...me blur...

Big Toes: I went back to look at your Combi photo on FB. Can u tell me which model u bot? I think Lilboymum has a point, that with my hb who travels so frequently, I might hv to drive and push the stroller myself. I need a lightweight and easily-folded-up stroller like Combi, Aprica and Maclaren.
bacon
emailed you already...hehe, we are talking about the Royale cake, which is one of the options that sunrays posted as a dessert for saturday! But, hmmm am thinking of the royale seat too...hb thinks may be too warm, so we may go for the omega which looks slightly less warm...
Babies update
Had my 24 wk scan today...babies are a lot lighter than most of yours i think: 629g and 641g...what to do, co-sharing mah... a friend of mine due in early Sept: her baby boy is now 1.2kg!!!!

hi mummies,
Just got back from KL --- too many post to catch up with!
Ava,
I will try to make it for the gathering (with my toddler) per my earlier post but NO need to prepare our food.
SarahMay,
Not sure whether Safety 1st is linked to Graco. I bought the cheaper Philips bb monitor. The more ex one is around 200 or so. Comes with different channels (though I don't see the need for that).
bacon&egg,
Royale comes in different colours. Mine is navy blue. The material is quick drying too (when u need to wash!)
BB kicks:
It's perfectly normal that they kick mainly at night. They have reverse day-night rhythm --- when we move around in the day, they get rocked to sleep. When we rest at night, they wake up!! This will last for a while after they are born (hence, the sleepless nights). I still remember my J giving me a very sweet smile at 3am, refusing to sleep when he's 1 week old. Dunno to laugh or cry man!!

U can ask yr brother to visit Target Store. They are selling it at USD $279. So its much worth it. But a very important point to take note. Inside the packaging, there will be a blue plastic divider inside the cooler bag. Inside that blue plastic divider is gel like liquid. So the Custom pp will ask yr Bro to open up everything to show him and that blue plastic divider cannot get thru the custom! Therefore, ask yr bro to open up the packaging, take out the blue plastic and put it inside his luggage to check in before the hand carry the rest of the Medela PIS.

Flos: Great point here, maybe I will ask my fren later if the Chinatown shop is worth going or not after factoring Kiddy Palace 20% discount. I don't have the card but think my sis have it.
Ava: Yah, both your twins re fighting for food togather so their weight should not be a concern! Wow, your fren bb is BIG!
Shazz: I can imagine baby Eamon acting like his Daddy!! Super cute! Haha!
Lok: So any good deals in KL??
Mrs Yap: That was what happen to your hubby at the customs right?

hey hey ladies.
i went to Kiddy Palace yday
The 15% - 20% discount does not apply to their prams / strollers... quite disappointed... else its gonna be a good deal. Afterall Cheong Choon is still cheaper. Went Robinson too yday... their AVENT sterilizer going at 20% sale.. v good deal.

Ava (avalyn) : I think the weight of your twins is very good! Cos for fetus in their 24th week, the US standard weight is about 600-700 grams, yours are twins and even with co-sharing, they're doing very well! =) Can't wait to see your tummy on Sat.
Bringing of scan pictures sounds good.
I have brand new pieces of maternity clothes which I can't wear, so will bring along as well. Hee, like a bazaar sale! haha
Anyone needs a ride? I can do pickup from Braddel mrt station at 245pm. Just PM me

Mrs Yap: Is the Medela PIS one u got from US the advanced version? Did u buy an adaptor to plug in in SG?
Ava: Did u buy a BB monitor for Adan? I nearly forgot too!
About nappy creams, nipple and bb wipes: Do they hv expiry dates? I'm stocking up all these months ahead.
Also, Mothercare and Kiddy were kind enough to let me start my Avent warranty from my EDD in Sept. Usually it's for one-year, meaning if I purchased in May, it expires next Apr 09 which is unfair to the consumers.
