Hi R&R.. my normal gynae is ok w my 2nd one..all i need is go w my fertility doc whom say the genetics prob most prob shld not be present on my 2nd one. but there is no testing to be done.
E's heart doc say when detailed scan dun do the normal scan - useless...just go to Prof Wong to check on the heart. She is v calm when she say if bad heart then abort.
I already found out a specialist in doing detailed scan.
i think the worry i have now is more how i can handle 1 toddler and 1 baby without maid. My hb say must have maid..i rather go maidless (or i go into madness)...

my son's fav is "there there"..when my mum wants him to drink water, ask him where is his water (thinking he will go and take his mag mag)..he point and say "there there" then run away...
so if we ask him 'where is XX', it is always there there

i did tat scan on Regine too. ya, during detailed scan. it was done @ KKH. cost us $500+.
though gynae & Prof Wond said that chances are there that #2 might have the same problem. percentage is hi. but i tell myself, if i can go thru the 1st one like tat. i think i will be able to pull thru again if #2 is having the same problem too. Gynae advised me not to give up hope. but i m very very glad that Regine is a healthy child.</font>

Re: daughter
Seeing so many adorable gals in our thread really make me drool for a gal, but too bad, am not fated to have a daughter. Of course I love my boys very much,but....I told HB, when we grow old, there is going to be only 2 of us to "xiang yi wei ming" coz I doubt the DILs will be close to us, unlike daughters (I myself not a good DIL also, so a good DIL is definitely a bonus, better dun expect that much). My colik who is at her late 40s (and sadly not very click with her HB) also complained to me she feel quite loss when both her sons grew up and have their own life. Cant even find a companion for shopping during weekend. Ahh...sad right?

Phtanus,
You paint a bleak picture of daughterless women. I've read on singaporebrides forum how some girls are closer to their MIL rather than their own mothers. They complain about their mothers and have only praises for their MILs. But I think their MILs are very nice to them first. One said her MIL would introduce her to others as her 'daughter', and the MIL would brew soup for her and they go shopping together. I think alot depends on the MIL to indicate how close you want your DIL to be? Don't be so pessimistic lah. Your sons haven't grown up yet.

mousebb,
People often mistake my baby as a boy until recently.
I don't find it angrifying leh. I thought it very funny. I would smile and tell them it's a girl. I'm not sure if I ever told it here:
1) A grandma told her grandson,"Look! A mei mei!" when she saw the pink blanket in my stroller. When she walked over and saw my baby's face, she said,"Oh, it's a di di!"
2) An extended family was in the lift with me and my baby. The older woman said,"It's a girl." The younger woman said,"A boy." and looked at me for confirmation. I said,"A girl." She looked at me more intently and said,"A boy!" I said,"No, a girl."
3) A girl and her mother were waiting at the traffic light with my baby and me. The girl said to the mother,"Ma, I guess this is a boy." The mother said,"It should be a girl."
And there're other times when others asked if she's a boy even when she's in all pink. When she's in a dress, people keep looking to make sure that she's a girl.
I like the guessing game!

Mummies,
Does your toddler becomes clingy during teething? Recently Bryan has become the once-again "koala bear"! he used to yearn to go out and will wander away by himself...now he still wants to go out, but he wants to be carried by me instead. Not that i wanna complained, i really adore the moments now that he's hugging me every now and then but wished the teething stage will be over soon! OUCH!

hi buffy - thanks. Sure..lets fix on Tue. I see u then..
hi everafter... now our toddlers bigger and more aware so dont want us to be away. Like my boy.. if he does not see his dad - like my hb walks away he will cry. He needs his familiar people round him (think elephant calf surround by the whole herd of elephants). These few days leaving him to go work has been drama too...

hi buffy - ur dad drives? can ask him help transport C for that few mins?
buffy
yup, it's always hard cos getting help from others, even from our parents, can be like 欠人情... and in some ways it's true, our children are our responsibility, and getting help from others is really asking a favour.
vanilla
going to work is ok for me. K will stand at the door and wave. sometimes will smile somemore. but leaving her alone outside of work hours, a total no no. somehow they KNOW.

<font color="0077aa">gist of it is my mum is extremely bias and favours my eldest nephew so wanted my maid to go with my dad to pick my nephew up in Barker road then route back to Upp Bt timah for C. But the thing is my maid needs to learn how to head down to the place on her own, pick C and my FIL will pick them up. My mum is just supposed to go with her on 2-3 days and coach her only. But not happy lor. Ai ya... Sian. I just want to solve the prob</font>

dimpletot,
Kate looks like a boy? Don't think so leh...
I intro-ed both cap and hat to Dylan as he's got both...he said cap yesterday and I placed the hat on him and he not happy because he wants his cap...funny that it seems hard to confuse them at times while it seems effortless to confuse them at other times!
everafter, vanilla,
Agree that it's separation anxiety at it's peak at this stage! Dylan got 'attacked' by it last month...he wants to be carry ALL the time when he's in the separation anxiety mode...just like this morning...make me miserable...cannot even brush teeth in peace...
Luckily he's out of that mode when he's outside...

yah these toddlers are very strange. when K is outside she doesn't even want to hold my hand!
yaya papaya wants to walk everywhere by herself. I draw the line at when we cross the road. just grab her and she's like twisting her body everywhere, and I have to cling on super tight so i don't drop her!
