good morning mummies!
Trace, I can imagine how u feel now. I was mega stressed during party planning. Told me hubs even giving birth wasn't so stressful! hahaha.... He said, I brought it all on myself for fussing over the smallest details for the party.
Mint, I suggest if u concern abt the electricity bill, you can use the thermos or endo magic pot. You cook over the stove the night before and then place pot into the thermos holder and let the porridge "cook" overnight. Then you might want to put pot back on stove again and put in meats/fish and veg to cook thouroughly? I use the endo magic pot to cook soups or desserts for myself/hubs.
Bigflamingo, u are a yummy mummy! Baby Julian is gorgeous.
Mona, are u sahm now? I LOVE BAKING, but not that good at it. Need practice. May I ask what are u guys baking? I would love to attend if session is not too long. I can provide cupcake/muffin cases. I have some cute Suzy Zoo and PowerPuff girls cases!

Jelly,
JG trial...
Trials start from 3rd week of term only. U mummies going to evans branch? Minibee and I will be at forum. Let me know if any of you coming for that session, we can have tea. But last I heard pretty full. So you might want to check with them, they break for holiday this week tho.
Carrier,
So when you take her out you dun bring your stroller? I am thinking of doing that for classes. A bit cumbersome to bring so many things for class. You may want to consider investing in the Patupam (dunno the exact brand, think that's what its called). Its a toddler carrier.

Karen, if you are looking for Plates in Primary colours ( yellow, red, blue), you can find them at Cold Storage. But I saw Pink plates at the Party Shop at Tan Quee Lan Street (near Bugis), quite expensive tho. I tried the cornware environmentally friendly partyware. Not as expensive as the coloured plates, it comes in a cream(pearly) colour not the stark white plates. I also got the party plates and napkin for the Fun at One theme to match the decor, but frankly I think the guests just oohed and aahhed for that 1 min. Then no one bothered! hahaha...
Breastfeeding aid
Mummies, a bit too late for us, but check this out. So cool! http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=535766&parentCategoryId=85181&categoryId=85208 it would have been ideal for me if I were just beginning and there was lots of leakage. And I can save on breastpads too!

busybee
join us! you can leave anytime u need. this not hotel california hiak hiak.
I still bring bb out with carriers. you should see us when we meet. we plop them out onto highchairs as we dine (and they whine - after a while) and then milk them (or rather they milk us) and then usually they fall asleep in our arms. or when we carry them around in the carriers to continue shopping etc, sometimes they fall asleep too. i love it when mine falls asleep on the mrt ride back. BLISS. no need to entertain her or stop her from touching strange men's arms. hahahahaha! I'm in a strange mood today pls excuse me.

Hee dimple already answered for us. Yah, if they're tired, they will be able to nap in the carrier. My girl naps easier in the Beco than the Connecta. Having said that, my girl has rarely been put in the stroller. She whines within 10 minutes. And naturally has never slept in the stroller before.
Dimple
Really depends on what we are baking, right? Oh yah, and we need mixer, and mixing bowl. I believe the ovens come with baking trays already?
Mona
Do you have a baking tray? Should come with the oven, yes?

Elch, but do does dylan perspire when in carrier? Minibee is a sweat bucket! Perspiring all the time! If she could be in aircon all day, she would love it. But I try not to make it a habit, too dry for her skin and also she would not be able to tahan when she starts school!

Dimple, I think one will do. But i feel ideal gap is abt 2 at most 3 years. Never 4yrs, too stressful. When #1 taking Os, #2 taking PSLE. I think I can not handle that exam pressure from 2!! Hahaha, hubs and I will be worrying ourselves silly!
dimple,
are you going for the stage and such tom?
busy bee,
when i go out by myself, i usually sling rianne. when i go out with hubby, we will use a carrier cause he doesn't know how to use a sling. rianne can sleep in both. we seldom use our stroller now cause it's quite troublesome to bring up and down the stairs.

Joanne, Minibee LOVES her Stroller. She can sleep for 1 hr or more in it. But I will surely try taking her out in a carrier soon.

Hi mommies
I'm so concussed today. Regina fussed till 3am, then woke up at 6.30am and 8.30am.
Sigh! Later sure fall asleep in class.
Karen,
Ya only runny nose no fever but she gets blocked nose also and that makes it hard for her to breathe so she's cranky. My mum will be looking after her later when I go for my class.
dimpletot,
I read a sharing from another thread that a nutritionist from KKH said that brown rice will affect baby's weight gain. So white rice is better as they need the carbo. Yikes! No wonder Regina is not putting on weight. Katie's weight and Regina's weight are the same now. So today's porridge is 2 scoops white rice and 1 scoop brown rice. Let's see in 2 weeks if any weight gain.

bbgoh, everafter,
So far I've been preparing 2 meals together and then reheat. No problems leh. Maybe it's because I double boil the porridge. It doesn't turn watery in the evening.
Plus I dun really buy into old wives tales about 'wind' in tummy when eat re-heated food. Unless there's a scientific explanation for it.

<font face="comic sans ms"><font color="0000ff">Hi mummies,
All the little fellow are very cranky when they caught flu and the most diffcult part is the mucus that stuck in their little nose. Then they will rub their little nose and bring the virus to their little eyes when they rub their eyes and there coming teary eyes.
My little tips: I let my gal sleep at an slight upright angle so that the mucus doesn't flow back to her nose so that she can breathe better during her sleep.</font></font>

busybee,
I do have a the thermal pot but it's too big to cook a small portion of porridge. Not economical at all so now considering getting a small 1.3l slow cooker or crockpot.
Regina still likes the Ergo and can sleep in it. Doesn't like the stroller unless it's kept moving all the time. Faint!
dimpletot,
What's the brand of slow cooker that you got?

mine is cheapo housewarming gift that I din think I'd ever use cos so tiny. Toyomi brand.
Jinomo
i usually use Lesportsac cos bag itself v light. Need all the help I can get in the weight area. When I feel more hiao / esp muscular that day, will carry jujube cos love the print. But usually we mums park ourselves at one eating place so not lugging the bag hours on end.
