[blur_p]

morning ladies!

Congrats to <font color="0000ff">Diane</font> on the little prince and <font color="0000ff">mspiggy</font> on your little princess.

I'll have to wait till the next scan b4 gynae can confirm the baby gender. This time round, my baby still like his brother, active at night. No sure whether isn't becos of my sleeping position that make baby uncomfortable and so making lots of movement.

 

[icylemon]

<font color="0000ff">littlebluey</font>, kekeke...

Go apply some cream.</font>

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Forest!

Cheer up!! *Give u a big bear Hug*!</font>

 

[jetudes]

Diaper bags:
Hmm.. I never thought of that, another thing to add to my shopping list. Hehe the Allerhand bag looks quite stylish indeed, will consider that.

Baby Weight:
Glad to hear some of your measurements, I was worrying that that my bb is overweight at 400g haha. Coz he seems quite short.

Think I have to consider tube bras liao, cant find any non wired strapless bras so far. But from now til full term, think our bust shouldn't "expand" alot more rite? Wait cant wear the tubes.

 

[tracee]

good morning mummies!

whole morn network down!

 

[matsu]

Forest, aiyoh...sayang sayang, don't cry. Go soak your hand in cold water then apply some cream may help to lessen the pain.

[cupidangels]

Forest, don't have to get worked up...... relax, it's will be alright!!!

 

[whitepaper]

Forest,
Aiyoh be careful with the hot water lar!

Really envy mommies who can still wear tube bras. I tried them on and they can't support my bust. Really at the waist, so no choice gotta get those with straps... so now I can't wear tubes, spagetti straps, halter etc.

 

[whitepaper]

Oh yes, mommies!

Wanns tell you ladies that my PIL hand-made a very nice set of pillow and bolster filled with bean sprout shells! The bean sprout shells were handpicked, washed and dried under the sun, then my MIL sewed them up. She even did extra pillow cases and bolster cases for changes! I love them! Think they are very comfy for baby!

 

[tracee]

oh whitepaper,

dats nice of your MIL...mine will nv do such things! she dun do any tonic for me too..she told my mum she has nv done any tonic for her daughters too..so indirectly telling us she wun do for me too..

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">whitepaper
Your mil very nice leh! Yes, bb likes to sleep on bean sprout shells and also good to place the pillow/bolster on bb chest as the weight is very light! I bought for my boy also and is quite exp!</font>

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Whitepaper,

That's very nice of your MIL

My MIL oso managed to get alot of bean sprouts shell from the market and she's sun-bathing them dry at the moment before making into pillow sets for her grandchild!

Trace,

Your MIL might show concern in other ways!</font>

 

[tracee]

i m getting from Spring, think cost $14.90...

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Littlebluey
You are another lucky one! </font>

 

[cupidangels]

whitepaper, u are very lucky to have such a nice PIL. So envy...... my PIL are living overseas can only fly over when the baby is near due. But then i don't get nagged too.

 

[pennytan]

Mousebb: Thanks for the advice for the pump. Yes, I go buy one. I heard from a fren that USA is actually selling Medela PIS at abt SGD $350+, so I'm waiting for someone who can help me to buy one there. If not, I'll get it here after I've given birth and confirm that I got good supply of milk.

Mummies: I've went for my detailed scan yesterday. Baby is doing well. Suppose to take her 3D pic of her face but she uses her legs and hands to cover her face. only can see her mouth. My doc was telling me that next time my princess can use her legs to hold her milk bottle. so naughty.

Forest

Congrats on having a BB boy!!



Trace
I know what you mean!!! Last time i got a colleague who ate for 4 people but never gained much weight when she was pregnant. then she looked like she juz did a big fart right after she gave birth. when we visited her at the hospital after she gave birth, that huge bump juz mysteriously disappeared like when she wasnt pregnant. So jealous.

I took more than a year to slim down to the weight before I was pregant, was so happy and excited and now...im back to square one again...way to become hippo again.

 

[forest]

mousebb, JJmom, Gioanna, whitepaper,
hehehe.. ok ok.. im like this.. at first v v upset one.. hehehe.. but if i say it out.. get it off my chest.. i'll feel better.. kekeke..

Liyan,
huh... i think i saw u then!! i was with my hubby too... i saw a couple looking at S228 for quite long lah.. and deciding on the colours.. hehee.. my hubby n i were looking at S705, but its only in PINK!! cant use that for my BOY lah.. hahaha.. i was still joking to the sales auntie, cannot lah.. its a BOY lehhh.. kekekek.. wah, u and ur hubby are very tall leh!! hahaha... u rem this other couple, who are both short?? kekekek...

whitepaper,
u have very good PIL leh!

Littlebluey,
u too have a nice MIL!!

TraCe,
u mean u r buying bean sprout shell pillows and bolsters from Spring?

 

[wly72]

Vanilla..

know what you mean...i didnt realise diaper bags were so expensive. but usually hospital where you deliver, will give you free one...like TMC, Mt E, Gleneagles..

but mummies are never satisfied. I got many diaper bags of different brands. now full time mum, no hobbies or other vices..no time even to go manicure, pedicure, salon, so diaper bags collection becomes the only thing that i do.

 

[whitepaper]

Trace
Don't think too much lar

PILs show concern in many different ways, like what Littlebluey said. Mine also didn't boil any tonic for me, but I understand coz both of them working mar. Got time do pillow very good already. They just told my hubby to buy me more bird's nest. So think about it, your PILs may have already showed you concern when you are still unawares

Mousebb
Yah my PIL told me to use the pillow on the chest area so that baby sleeps better

Mommies
Think kiddy palace sells the pillows? There's also some sold online... in case you ladies are interested

Gioanna
Your PILs are from UK right? They probably don't have the habit of using such pillows?

 

[wly72]

mummies

for the diaper bags, some brands i like are allerhand, GR8, and skip hop. can find allerhand at taka, united square and paragon.

 

[tracee]

forest,

yes, i saw the beansprout pillow dat dae..cost $14.90...other places i saw was abt 19.90

 

[tracee]

whitepaper,

not dat i noe of...my MIL dun do anything..but anyway i dun depend on her to do all these for me too...

 

[whitepaper]

TraCe

You have us to show concern for you

 

[jollyhoppy]

Trace : me too..PIL din do anything..so we depend on ourselves =)
Beansprout pillow : my cousin's dad did 1 extra for me..heee
Sex in the City : after all the raves..me gg to watch tonight!!just bot the tix..heee

 

[eternitystar]

<font color="0000ff">Forest,

Go have a good lunch and am sure u will feel better in the later part of the day!

Trace,

Maybe your MIL is those with modern thinking, dun wanna interfere too much sans the conflict later on..</font>

 

[cupidangels]

whitepaper, yeah they are in England and she doesn't know anything abt this. They find the idea of having bird nest soup disgusting too. I don't really take all these stuff so it's okay as well.

My hubby was just saying the other day that he's very lucky that i am more westernised than most pple here. His pregnant colleague told him all the stuff that i shouldn't or couldn't eat and he was appalled. Hehe so funny!

 

[wly72]

dimpletots,

a good solid stroller brand is peg perego but its on the ex side. very good and sturdy.

 

[tracee]

dunno yest my MIL n SIL yelling at me for things i nv do..until my tummy was unwell since last nite...n i am gog to take half day go home rest..i slept at 3am today!

whitepaper,

u got lobang online for the beansprout pillow?

 

[everafter]

oh, so OG orchard hv orange color S228 ah! aiya, i shld hv gone to orchard branch instead

 

[lilybud]

Mummies

I still cannot decide between TMC and Mt A leh. Can anyone tell me, TMC if free upgrade from 4 bedder to 2 bedder, how much cash need to fork out if natural delivery?

What about the cost of 1 bedder?

 

[whitepaper]

TraCe

Yes please take a good rest. You'll feel better after that.

Can't remember the website, just google bean sprout pillow singapore, it should appear right at the top. They have a lot of nice designs

 

[jollyhoppy]

Trace, have a good rest &amp; dun think to much ya c",)
