One of our dogs used to sleep in our room with us before we have wenxuan. When the bb arrives, we decided that we will not let the dog sleep with us anymore cos we dont know if the bb is sensitive to the dog's fur anot. Initially our dogs were jealous of wenxuan and barked at him when we first introduced him to the dogs. Now the dogs see wenxuan, they seem to be scared of him cos all keep quiet liao. One of them still wagging his tail at him.</font>

Jellypurin,
wahh.. tats exactly how i've been feeling.. hahahaha.... okies okies.. i'll be waiting.. hahaha.. cos' seeing how some of the mummies, with no signs just pop... kekeke... means, it might happen to me too!? hehhe.. ;p

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Forest
Haha! You are right! But I guess that will only happen after wenmin turns 1.</font>

 

[pig_pig]

<font color="aa00aa">Am super tired now. Waiting for hubby to come home so that I can go take a nap. This morning woke up at around 2.30am to pump milk and wenmin woke up at 3am to drink. She refused to sleep after her feed and cries and made a lot of noise until 8.00am this morning

Since then, she has been sleeping quite alot and only woke up at 12pm plus to drink. Think tonight is going to have another sleepless night for me and hubby le

Added you!

[dreamyjo]

Thanks mousebb and jellypurin for your feedback. I will seriously give it a good and deep thought.
I think you have a point there. Its best to keep them away incase bb is allergic to the fur. Maybe wait till bb is about a few months old and with better immunity then introduce my dogs back to the room. Hopefully in the meantime, they dont feel sad and reject me.

 

[jellypurin]

dreamyjo
initially sure will de .. but i think for pets, they get used to it

Ribena
May I know the brand of the nursing milktea? Sounds nice. Hee. I heard about Fenugreek (will get it after I deliver) but I am thinking of trying the milk tea since I love milk tea.

Dogs
Hmmm, it never occurred to me to let my three darlings sleep outside the bedroom once the bb comes. I still intend to continue letting them sleep in the room. I will be switching on the aircon so I think not much air movement?! They have never slept outside the bedroom and I don't want that to change. I don't think it will affect the bb much ba. As for jealousy, I will still devote time to them. Otherwise, my hb will spend time with them if I'm busy with the bb. Plus they're already 3 to begin with, so I don't think they will feel jealous with the split of attention. I think if worse comes to worst, then I will sleep in another room with bb.

Contractions
Sad that I won't get to feel it. Even so, I hardly can feel the BH, if I have any. Heee. I do feel tightening of my tummy, but it's so slight I never thought twice about them.

Facebook
Hmmm, yah, I also just add female names. I also don't know who is whom.

 

[tracee]

forest,

i told my gal, hahaha..mummy will endure one more week..then u can make yr apprearance liao..too tedious liao..

 

[nickypower]

Karen- Nice to know that ur love for ur 3 furballs will not change!! I admire u for that!! *keke* Cos I really shame those pple who abandon their dogs/pets when they discovered their pregnancy and family members' objection to keeping the dogs etc... Cos me like u..oso a dog lover!! *Hi-five*
Though I'm sad to say that my dog will be under my parents'care when my bb is born...He will be back at his original home with my parents instead of at my hse lor...In a way, think he seems happier at his 'original' home which is my parents' place oso! ;p Just that I will definitely miss him especially during my confinement period... ;(

Trace- Ur pelvis still painful? Did doc mentioned anything which can help to relieve the pain? Meanwhile just rest more yah....

 

[nickypower]

Trace- Yalor guess now u have to endure more and no sooner ur girl will be in ur arms le!!

 

[forest]

Trace,

[jetudes]

Thanks for all your praises - Enya, Lynnzee, forest, beary, pinkimum and jellypurin, mousebb, tweety. Think my boy looks alert coz I happen to capture him when he fully open his eyes. But he is no doubt a super active boy. By the way can you help me update the chart Enya? Kaijie was born 3.12kg, 49 cm, at Mt A instead of Mt E.

Caught up abit on the posts. More moms have popped, so many cute babies around. Ribena's gal have big round eyes, Mspiggy's gal has chubby cheeks. And new mum whitepaper's boy has big eyes plus dimples! Congrats to all, and Littlebluey and bbgoh as well. Wish you all a speedy recovery

Gioana:
I enjoyed reading the blog you created for your darling girl Skylar. The pic of her wearing the cap looks adorable.

Those with jaundice babies - Diane, Curioxete's Xinying, Rebecca,lili_fc, RibenaLi - How are your babies now? Despite me sunbathing my baby, stopping ginger, he is still yellowish leh. He's already 17 days.

Hehe one mummy mentioned Charles and Keith then I was suddenly reminded that I can wear high heels again hahaha. But thats when I finish confinement lah.

Lili:
I hope you are feeling better now, don't give yourself so much pressure. Slowly you can learn to care for your baby. I haven't even learnt anything yet, coz its important to rest enough during confinement so that can recharge and recover.

[godbless]

<font color="#D16587"> Wan Chuen
i'm oso like dis. did u intake any food or 'bu' that contain 'dang gui'? coz i notice that i stop takin that 'hui ji bu yao jing' (coz it contains 'dang gui') for a abt 1 week plus. my little Erin's jaundice actually went down.

but for my #2, i keep takin all the 'bu' that contains 'dang gui' ans her jaundice keep raisin n raisin. it was so serious that it reach 270. doc advise me to stop BF. coz is more den 300 she will need to be admitted to KKH. </font>

 

[lilybud]

Wan Chuen

how are u?
My baby still has slight jaundice leh. Sun him liao but still like tat. The white part around his eyes a bit yellow lor. I also never eat ginger etc. Last Monday we brought him to PD, he said no need to go hospital to be put under the light. Just continue to sun him can already.

 

[lilybud]

Rebecca,
Ethan also sounds a bit phlegmy leh. Especially when he drinks milk, i can hear the phlegmy noise. Also he got a big piece of "nose shit" in his nose. How to get it out huh?

 

[lilybud]

mummies

may I know who is Cherlyn Tan?..wahahaa...sorry ah..because we know each other by nick mah..then i add in facebook but dun know who are all of u? heheee

 

[mint]

purebliss,
your gals are soooo cute!

lili,
Dun be too upset ya. Be strong. The Lord is always with you. Take comfort in yesterday's second reading: Philippians 4: 6 - 9. Somehow it just spoke to me and I hope it'll be of help to you.

I have already told hubby that we won't be celebrating bb's full month cos we just attended a full month party and the mummy looks so tired and didn't even have time to mingle with guests. I told him I dun want to look ugly and no time to entertain my friends. Will most likely hold a reception when we get bb baptised. By then I think I would be ready to face the world. Haha!

Yes, I have heard about the guiness stout thingy from my aunt and apparently it does help. Guess no harm trying as long as bb doesn't drink it.

Littlebluey and whitepaper,
Congrats on being new mummies!

jetudes,
your boy is so adorable.
