xinying,
marcus doesn't need more hair lah.. actually i have this thing for bald men (bald by choice not by circumstances, bald men are sexy.. think john malkovich, bruce willis).
Karen,
nope. life will never be the same again but with a life after of deformed tits, tiger stripes across belly and a stitch across the uterus, our daughters better appreciate us. heheh..
p.s. heidi klum has millions of dollars, hires nannies, has a personal trainer, businesses and a grammy award winning husband (seal, who is ugly as hell but also worth alot of money). moral of the story: kerching.
p.s.s. even if contraception is on my mind, sex is hardly. not on his anyway.. i was jigging about half naked in bra and panties to kylie's album on my ipod while sorting out my clothes (tossing the preg clothes into box YEAY) and it suddenly hit me:
marriage is when you dance half naked in the marital bedroom and your husband continues to watch soccer.
such is life, eh?
work versus staying at home:
ya it's great to see your kids first walk and hear them speak but did you read neil humphrey's editorial this sunday; it's all a matter of economics.
i'ld prob miss my little girl's first word and her first step but hey, i'm sure as hell not going to miss the rest of her life e.g. kindergarten dance performance, first day at primary school, uni grad day, marriage, pregnancy, childbirth. i say we try our best and at the end of the day, the kid will understand that tata, attah, mommy, daddy and abby cannot survive on a single income.
having said that, respect to the SAHMs.. i'ld never be able to do that. i'ld go mad
jellypurin,
i want eyelash extensions.. but they don't last that long right. i also need to go thread my brow and upperlip again, starting to look like a man again. sigh..
Diane,
good to know Ethan is feeling much better, you're right.. at least it's boosting their immune system forcing their bodies to work hard.
Any mommies know if the pneumoccocal jab will bring on fever as well? Contemplating on doing the rota and pneumo on the same day when she turns 3 months.. def going for rota.
dimple,
if you like, i pass u two to three pieces of mamypoko size M to try then you decide whether you want to go for it? i can meet u at bedok.
mamypoko diaper:
Abby's body like too long for the pampers s size and it was getting too snug, thought i'ld give mamypoko a go. So far, no leaks.. occassionally pieces of crap stick to the fringed sides but that's normal right?
Pee absorption is excellent, she can do 4-5 hours in one diaper e.g. at night. Doesn't feel wet, just feels heavy. Also experiencing the fringed sides cutting into her thighs, i don't experience that with pampers or maybe her thighs GREW. ahhaha
yea.. i bought it during promo downstairs at NTUC too. They also sell nepia downstairs..
one thing, mamypoko's really thick and hot and my mil commented 'hard', it feels like a maxi pad, i don't put on pants for her only her booties or socks. i'm going to switch her to pampers premium and see if it's more comfortable for her.
entertaining baby:
i talk to her alot and she coos back. don't have a mobile because i got one as a gift and it only fixes to cot bars
and mine's a convertible bassinet playpen. i have to confess.. esp since i'm airing her bum with cloth nappies now, after rinsing off crap, soaking, laundry, sterilising, changing, feeding, burping, patting. i just really want her to go to sleep so i can finish my assignment or get some sleep. sigh..
you know when i was doing my course and my prac, i planned so many fun things to do for the tods and the preschoolers. i told myself i'ld have so much fun with my own kid but.. the reality is such. maybe when she gets bigger i suppose..
spicy food or diaper?:
the area around her anus turning red, mil says it's the diaper not her cooking, i agree because mil cooks lots of indian but she doesn't make it chilli hot so i say it's my diet. any bf mommies encounter bb's area around anus turning red esp after you've had spicy good? ytd her poo was slimey.. like diarrhoea type. i felt so bad. no more kfc spicy for me..
fenugreek:
mil uses fenugreek in her cooking.. how come my milk supply not up ah. must drink and/or take concentrated form from supplements issit?
everytime go downstairs remind self to buy horlicks always forget. pfft
Rach's mommy,
your jiejie and meimei will make such good company for each other.
i want another girl for #2 too.
