the custard mooncake is not from home's favourites. It's from East Ocean. But not everyone likes this flavour. It's just my personal pref. (Btw, my taste is a bit strange cos I hate lotus paste while everyone else seems to love it so much!)
The home's one is the black durian mooncake.
Grace
as long as u like the name!
But be prepared for lots of ppl who can't pronounce and then declare it a stupid name or make nasty jokes abt it.
Even my baby Gabrielle, at first my hubby cldn't pronounce it properly and he said so silly, a name must be easy to pronouce. He refused to accept this name. I told him it's his English that's bad, bcos it's quite a common name and if ppl can't pronounce cos of their poor English, that's THEIR pblm! My fren pronounced it as the male version "Gabriel" and my uncle and aunty also complained that Gabrielle is so hard to pronounce. But what the heck. I like the meaning and I think it's a classic name. So there! Hmmph...

dseptkon (dseptkon) - what do u mean by cluster feeding? Baby Jonathan takes so long to feed? 2-3 hours per session? Thought it would be done in 30-45min? So u are feeding normal mature milk (not colostrum) already?
Anyway, going out to Metro in abit...they are having up to 60% off sale - see if there is any last minute stuff I can get for baby Kieran
If I am not online tonite, wish me luck mommies! Will be admitting into TMC tomorrow at 10am!! Aggghhh...still hasn't really sunk in!</font>

flos, ya la, still not done yet. we were so hoping to be able to move back by this weekend, but quite a number of things still in progress. once we move home, there'll be all these crazy washing, unpacking etc. just the thought of it makes me want to hide under the covers. your 40 boxes have a designated place to go? they're going to take ages to unpack!!!
speaking of names etc, i once encountered a mr bastard (later also a mr & mrs screwdriver) while temping at one of the local 5-star hotels during my sch hols. we were taught to always address guests by name so i was really lost when mr bastard, a distinguished (and very stern) looking gentleman, came to check in. i don't know if he actually heard me at all because my voice suddenly turned into a nervous whisper. addressed him as "mr ber-start" and just couldn't look him in the eye throughout the whole registration process. it later dawned on me that i could've just ignored what i was taught and called him "sir". so pai-say.
bigtoes, all the best! do get online as soon as u can and show us bb kieran's pix! hugs.

No, not working already; am on ML. I was planning to go to another outlet. Didnt go in the end..sigh.
WoodlandsMummy
I dont see how ejaculation inside would cause white stuff on baby's hair as baby is not even exposed to the sperm...maybe they were referring to the white vernix which all babies will have anyway. where did you hear that from?

haha...forgot to ask if her gynae is from spore or msia cos she is msian...
Sex: If mucuous plug is dislodged, apparently sex without condom is not advised cos of risk of infection.
masturbation: Apparently this can cause MORE intense contractions than sex.
Flos: I'm not buying any winter clothes. Have got donations. So will wait to see what else I need to buy when I get there. But for the initial week or so, will have enough to dress him in. Hope my new place will be cosy though! Cordyceps is too 'bu' for bb? How so?
Storeberry: John is very cute! So alert! Nice bright eyes and cute face shape!
Preggy: Wow! You only put on 11kg and bb is big!!!
Yingflo: Is it a gelatinous glob that you passed out? That could be the mucuous plug. Did you ask your doc? What did she say?
Woodlands Mummy: The whitish covering on bb is vernix...can't possibly be sperm!!!
Sasa: What does HA stand for?
Dseptkon: Yes yes...sleep is sooo impt! Will try to sleep as much as I can!Btw, I forgot to tell you...you look super radiant when I saw you at the hospital. Like giving birth was such a breeze! Did you take chicken essence before labour? Also, you didn't put on much weight at all!
I need to go on a carbo diet already. I put on 10kg already. Sigh! 1.3kg in 12 days, 300g to bb. the rest to me!!! Good news is that Baby Elisha is 3.2kg at 37w2d, and head is almost engaged.

went to see the my gynae yest...
she did a VE and said the cervix is still very close.. delivery would not be this Monday, 1st sep. As I am hoping to be cause baby will have the same birthday as daddy...
thought of inducing but gynae says chances that will succeed would be 15-20% only...else will lead to c-sec.
so, in that case, just gonna wait a little while longer..then hopfully baby comes in 10 sep..that would be our wedding anniversary! haha...all these special dates.
Congrats to all mummies who have popped! and good luck to bigtoes..must be very eager!
Take care everyone!

Hi all, coming in for my last post before bed. dunno why baby is so active, and her butt keep pushing against my tummy. but dun wan to gain weight. plus my right blood vessal no nutrients to baby. haiz. at least conforted by baby's kicks. especially today kicking to an extreme while i'm setting out everything and cleaning. my mum is my CL and today's her last day of work, after getting my distress call, she immediately came over after work to help me set up everything, change all bedsheets and wash everything already. now finishing last load of my bedsheet in the machine, later hubby's gonna hang it for me.
at last my mind's at rest now. just left with drying and folding of all garments once they are dry, washing of me n hubby's usual clothes, tidying my study table and update my finance sheet so as to advise hubby next week for payments.
YES! that's all and i can shake leg to wait for D day. just pray that on monday gynae will tell me that induce labour is favorable and i dun need to go for c-sect. PRAY HARD FOR THAT!
Thanks all for listening/reading all my rants and long windedness. at least by typing everything out. i have an even clearer picture of what is gonna need to be done. ^^ my good mood is back le.
P.S, just got the chance to log in, din get to read any postings. hehe! sorry in advance if i missed out any reply to anyone!
