jasmine, are u starting your class this month? i'm also only starting mine this weekend. it only take up 5 weekends, so should be able to complete it before pop. unless miss a class then have to wait till the next month to join the next class for replacement lesson.

thanks for organising the lunch Li May! Excellent choice!I had to concentrate to see where all the conversations were going coz I think I'm very laid back and haven't done nearly as much research as you super moms. Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks Meie for the lift too!
Jessi - I got my Oi Oi in Australia for about SGD 50 less coz it was on 20% sale. So paid roughly about SGD 135 for it.

Wow! Lanolin, that's very affordable. I got the Black and White Woollen Check one which is very "winter" looking...It matches my winter overcoats and boots
It looks like a hand carrier I'd carry onboard the aircraft when I take bb on a Europe trip!! IMO, the bag is nicer with it's not fully stuffed!
The other designs Mothercare has are of nylon material. All OIOI bags come with the insulated milk holder, the changing mat, the wets case and the purse. There are many compartments inside the bags, both inside and outside.

Yes yes! I saw this at MC too!!! I nearly bot the Giraffe print one. Yours should be around $179 thereabouts. So I thot why not get something more "couture" looking instead
Dior-inspired? Chanel-inspired? Look like a Chanel tweed suit!! *quietly wishing*
xuanting: The interior is waterproof, but not the exterior (quite obvious!). I'm thinking of buying a messenger bag for my hb, though he already got one for himself in SH.

Crayonshin: 50 cents per script is too low la. No wonder no one has taken up the offer! Wah! Share your diet secrets! How come only put on 1 kg? Reyes is such a good weight too! So good. Aiyo…my hubby was just telling me to watch my diet so that the baby doesn’t grow too big. Enjoy your RnR in Batam!
Storeberry: Wow! Little berry is doing well too! A mini heavy-weight champion! Very good! And you still don’t look preggers right? Must our bb’s heads be down already? I think mine is but still not in vertex, just breech but head nearer the bottom. Thanks for info on pampers dry.
Alabone: hahah!!! You are sooooo funny! You are one hot mama. As for sex, I’m quite off it. Hahah.
Jaymickey: Thanks for info abt pampers dry.
Lok: Is there really a place called ‘Ang Mo’? Where is it?
Ava: I’m so amazed by your twins. They weigh the same as singletons! Man. I thought mine was big…but I think my baby is actually light. Hehe. As for bird’s nest, it is actually better if you can brew the pao sum together with the bird’s nest cos then you can bu qi. Birds’ nest on its own won’t help bu qi.
Shazz: Eamon is growing well too! My gynae already asked me to cut down my carbos like two months ago… A bit hard for me tho cos I just love those fattening food. Hehe.
Jasmine: Hey! I’m like you … I don’t think I eat or snack that much. Still pretty much 3 meals a day but still can put on 2kg. Hehe. Anyway, as long as our bbs are doing well…who cares!
Goldfish: I think your gynae didn’t say anything because he or she takes into consideration your frame and pre-preg weight. All these factors count. I’m short so I can’t put on that much weight! Hahah.
Jessi: They must be wondering how come you look so young and pretty, but are already pregnant! Take it as a compliment! In macau, I get soooo many stares until I cannot be bothered already. They are not used to preggies dressed in tees and jeans. Two weeks ago, I went to Zhuhai and I was ‘molested’ by one of the shop assistants. She just reached her hands under my tee and started pulling my maternity jeans. Then I got a ‘lecture’ from her about how I’m endangering my bb’s well-being by wearing such ‘tight’ clothes instead of wearing baggy (read ‘ ugly’) maternity clothes.

Flos: your diaper bag does indeed looks like something made of Chanel tweed suits! 
I was sleepy as well, went for a walk and I ended up getting 2 books from Kino cos I got 20%.
Ended up with:
- Gina Ford's The New Contented Little Baby Book
- Lynn Alexander & Yeong Boon yee's Feed Your Child Right.
Lanolin: your bag is so versatile! no excuse for hubby not to carry! hehe
SarahMay: storeberry looking rather preggy already, her tummy has grown a fair bit since our last gathering.

SarahMay,
Yes, there is really a supermarket chain called "ANG MO". I'm not joking!!
shazz,
I have the Lynn Alexander & Yeong Boon yee's "Feed Your Child Right" book too. The recipes are very interesting. Unfortunately, haven't had time to try it out yet. J either eats out with us, porridge, whatever my MIL cooks or eat fish and chip!
Gathering:
Sounds so fun! I really would like to meet up with u all too. Must try to join the next one --- u all targeting another one in July right??

alabone: Yah man, sometimes I do get abit insecure when especially we have not been doing it for so long...
Sarah: Thanks! bb smallberry is of normal size, gynae told me that bb should head down by 34 weeks. So hopefully by 32 weeks when I go for my next checkup, he would "guai guai" head down!
Shazz: Thanks for the update to Sarah!! But still majority of the weight goes to my face!!
Wow, looks like the mummies enjoyed themselves!! Have a nice weekend!

Lok: I was attracted to it cos it's localised. the rest are ang mo recipes.
Next gathering likely to be in July.
SarahMay, when u coming back?
I called Parentcraft but their classes are all full! Next class available starts on 21 July, too late liao lah. By then I'll be too tired to bother to attend. Shall read up and try to do the exercises on my own instead

Ok.. done with my interview! A great load off my mind, I employed a assistant who'll be working for me on a permanent part-time basis, so I can go on my maternity leave without worries.
Mummies who did not attend the lunch today.. we ordered a LOT of food.. but we did pretty well.. left a bit only. Forgot to take a picture of the feast to show everyone..
shazz
So good that your office is in Bugis, go downstairs, so much shopping!

steff&sean/shazz: Two is not enough...I'm ordering another one (the black diamond quilted one) from Bebe et Maman which brings in OIOI and JuJuBE baby bags. HAHA! Thereafter I'll just transfer those peripherals provided in the OIOI bags to my normal big bags from Zara or whatever messenger bags out there
Any big waterproof bag with slings can be used a diaper bag I guess.

<font color="119911">Hey mommies, busy after lunch. Just managed to come back into the forum...i think I ate too much! Going for dinner at Imperial place with some girlfriends at Taka later somemore! Overeating today!
Anyway, glad everyone enjoyed the food
Btw, are there any good sales going on in Orchard for baby stuff? Going to go down earlier to shop before dinner.
SarahMay - we are waiting for u to be back in town (3rd week of July?) for the next gathering! Let us know when, so we can block out the date earlier!</font>

Me got a blue and brown allerhand (like it cos the one i got has the change mat attached to it. zip down front of bag, flip open mat, and put baby down!) to match my blue maclaren. Then i also got blue baby bjorn to match that and blue blankie too! I like blue. Hee hee...
shazz

sarah may

Even when ppl look, i feel strange, keep thinking if there's something wrong with my clothes or i'm exposing somthing!

Flos: if you want to use the normal bags as diaper bags, then you gotta buy the diaper bag organiser from the Bulk Purchase thread I ordered mine! lolz ... yeah, 2 bags still not enough, haha ... excuses for us to shop!
Bigtoes: I'm going to Orchard to meet my gfs for dinner too! Today is Female Power day!

Isabelle, like what stef&sean said, not sure if there's any discount for breast pump...if you do have other stuff that you would like to get, you can join me!
Staf&Sean, no worries, I'm dropping by to purchase the steriliser, and I'll check if there's any discount. If there's discount, then I'll grab it, but if not, I'll have to buy sometime later.

I just came home from Ngee Ann City!
I only got one diaper bag. And i din even dare to tell my hubby the actual price. Told him a price that was half its cost! Hee. If i wanna buy another one now, think I'll never hear the end from him!
But anyway, won't be getting a new one cos then I'll have to think of an excuse to get a new pram/stroller so the whole ensemble matches! Too expensive for me! Haha

more than 1 diaper bag:
i thought one diaper bag was more than enough too. till i saw Flos comment that 2 diaper bags are not enuf
hee.
reason why i bought the skiphop dash denim, cos i've always liked denim, and when i saw it so cheap (S$80 after conversion) on the www.diaperbags.com website, i had to grab it. that was after buying my Jujube Be all from Babetitude at a very low price too (S$138)

Flos - wah! 3 baby bags? Got time to change bags meh? hahaha...I am so lazy, I can't be bothered to even change work bags for months!!!
On a slightly tangential note - I realise the moms I've met all have nice fair skin! May I know what sun block u use?
Has anyone bought the baby whisperer? some say it is a v good book. any ideas?

Hey all girls night out mummies,
enjoy this while it lasts! In future, no such thing cos u'll all be rushing home to see ur baby!
Stef
my hubby will just kill me if i tell him $138 is a low price for a diaper bag. He'll just tell me to use his backpack! Yeek!
I even told him my Baby Bjorn Air was a gift from my mum's fren. And my mum helped me to think of that excuse! Thinking that, he was full of praises abt how good Air was when we went to HK! Haha
But ermm seriously, why is one diaper bag not enough?
