(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs

fabbie,
I definetely tell her many times liao to the extend I sound like broken CD player. Tell her oso nicely cos I dun wan to make things diff for my hubby mah. U tell me how not to give up?
 


dun say the caregiver taking care of 1 to 1 oso got complain, so u imagine how i wanna tell the IFC?? they cant even remember things that u tell them.. dunno tell them so many times liao becareful wif hankerchief..dun simply use end up still use other's hanky on zach. Give them bib oso no use, they dun wanna use. I wanna tell the teachers but some teacher are on shift, so tell one cannot tell the other. I oso sian halfway liao.

Jes, now i really praying zach will be healthy and not hv other stuff like asthma (touch wood) cos my bro used to hv it when young.

Snowger, when i was preggy, i onie eat peanut butter but onice like twice or 3 times a mth..other than that nothing liao but i ate alot of cheese..hehe

snowger,
ya we hav been avoiding cold drink, ice-cream &amp; chilled fruits from him since young... &amp; due to his allergy condition, we even go to the extend of giving him egg &amp; cow milk only after 3YO... my parent always say i restrict too much on his diet but i hav no choice coz they juz dunno how bad when a child is being attacked by asthma... one of my fren even comment tat i dun giv a good 童年 to my boy bcoz he cant take children's most favourite which is ICE-CREAM... haiz... wat to do!
 
Snowger
ya mil so stubborn ah? hahah i realise i told my mil the 2nd time. the rest of my gal growing up of changing diaper is only me and my hub. Haha even bath also. first time she bath for my gal. then 2nd time no more liao. lol duno why. maybe she dun wan to fight with me ba. if not we two will quarrel.. just like me and my mum. Faints. she been taking care for me when im at work! and starting i put my gal with her at night. aiyo my mum's temper getting so bad! haha so now we alter days. take care at night hehe.

Kath the CUBE i collect from ade house ba. Eh u need to refund me 2 bucks is it? thats for what? u can take the 2 bucks for the delivery. Let me know if theres more than i need to pay. xie xie.
 
After seeing all your complaints i feel so much better as we are all in the same shoes.. At least there's ple who understand :p

Really envious of those who can be SAHM and yet have a helper to do housework. Just have to spend time looking after bb.

Kath, Can I collect from you at Raffles Place lunch time next week say monday? Will u be around?
 
hippo ,
yes i koe very gek sim...it's our precious darling yet sometimes what we find a big deal, to the caregivers it's no big deal...hv to continue to keep repeating lor..esp with older folks, "repeating" better than "complaining"...our tis generation hv our own ways of taking care &amp; bringing up our darling which conflicts with the older ones. sometimes, the older relatives (out of good will la) will tell me this n that..etc..i just listen wat i want to listen lor.. but i'll still do my way if i koe my way is best n rite for my child...
Eg alot of elder folks always dun agree that i bath my boy so late...8 pm plus very late meh...but to me, it's a nite time routine already, after bath he will be more fresh n with massage n milk , hope to get Baby K to sleep better...

Emeraldbride , actually i'm not taking orders fm Coach site, cos latest season hard to get at discounted price...but no harm trying still for u
happy.gif
. let me know which models, i'll ask my fren to check it out. BTW , if u wan KS too (the last round u were asking on Kate spade), though i'm not into KS, but if u have a specific model, i can check too.

P/S will u be doing another cereal BP again? rem to include me ah! i missed out ur 1st one
sad.gif


Fabbie ,
wait! i might want to add more orders too...i give u my revised additional orders tonite..
BTW, can self collect fm u? where u stay? Est when the bibs will arrive??
 
Diaper rash : hippo, u wan to try to use Desitin original instead of creamy? I koe a lot of mummies use desitin creamy, however i personally find desitin original more effective. Also bcos, desitin creamy has only 4% zinc oxide while desitin original has 10% zinc oxide. zinc oxide is the active Ingredient to prevent diaper rash..

Allegies : i also trying to BF as long as i can to reduce any allegies..
my thinking same as snowger! i tot i drink more milk better for bb...convert to better milk for bb

Hair Loss : Fabbie, i read that hair loss starts abt 3-4mths &amp; might go on till 6 to 12mths..
.." After your hormone levels balanced out, your hair will get back to the normal hair cycle and you should get back that healthy hair of yours in about 6 to 12 months after giving birth."
http://www.surviving-hairloss.com/Postpartum_Hair_Loss.html

I cant afford to wait 6mths (best case) as now it's only 4th mth &amp; there's so much hair loss le..so i'm turing to hair loss shampoo n condition n tonic..

Gatheing on 18th
Luthadel,
i might be able to attend on the 18th. i PM u le

fabbie,
She thinks its for baby's good lor. Else she say she can't tahan letting bb cry or self soothe to zzz. -__-""""""

To the other gals,
Sorry for the complains... I buay tahan liao. Yesterday, I just felt like driving myself to my mum's place to hide. She n hb can have the baby. I dun wan to be anypart of this... I think I getting depression liao.
 
jes,
It's cruel yes but if the kid gets asthma attacks so frequently (choi) due to eating ice-cream and cold stuff. What type of childhood is tat? :p I hope I will be able to enforce a eat one ice-cream a month for my daughter when she grows up. Too much ice-cream is bad - v sweet leh...

Pastilles,
True la. It's like mommy louis situation lor. U noe that their actions will result in some adverse behavoir in ur child. And u are just helpless, can only see ur child changing to have the adverse behavoir. How frustrating tat can be... *Double sigh*
 
Hippo - Ya, I'm looking for a job now. But not so hurried lor since the economy is bad &amp; banks had freeze head count. I had already sent out 1 job application last week. Dunno they will hire me or not since i've stopped work for 1 yr+ le. I had a helper (but no car) to help me with the household chores. It's really a dilema for me, cos at times i feel that it's best that i go back to the workforce. Then at times i also like to be with my gal. At least can guide her along when watching her "Your Baby can read" DVD.
 
snowger, i can empathise with u. This week I am back to my parents place and coupled that Zach is not feeling well, everyone is taking turn carrying him. Treating him like KING of the house! Next week when I go back to SG will be nightmare liao..cos i m not into carrying Zach n patting him to sleep type of mummy. I keep telling them let him lie down n sleep on his own..they will not listen keep saying they wanna sayang him cos he is sick etc..sigh. No choice lor. Last time they oso like tat i did raise my voice at them saying that if u all din treat ur own child the same way (keep carrying and spoling them) then dun treat ur grandson any different cos u r spoiling him instead of showering him with love n good care. But say many times liao still back to same old pattern. Hahaha.. dun be depressed ok!! Y not voice out to ur hubby? Give him some example? I always point out to my hb how other kids behave and y they behave like tat etc..like one of my fren's kid will climb on the dinner table at the restaurant to sit and his parents allow him to do it, which is totally very rude. I say i will never tolerate such behaviour and in my family no one shudl talk with their mouth full and cannot chew so loudly type..then he will noe. :p

fabbie, the $2 is cos the cube is $11 per tray onie.. i m so tempted to buy the rompers from ur site leh but i must stop myself..haha

pastillies, i will email or PM u then
happy.gif
hand itchy liao, wanna spend $$
 
Finally can come online.. my mum went holiday n me take care of bb...

hi gals..
after reading all abt the MIL &amp; seeing for myself.. i think i made the very very right decision of not letting my MIL look after my baby. Just once a week, she came over my house to see baby... i saw her fingernails all black.. the way she hold the pacifer is by the teats n stuff into my baby's mouth.. not by the handle.....if the pacifier drop, she just take to the sink n rinse with water..

Come on.. i have 4 pacifer sterlised &amp; prepared anytime for baby, just in case anyone just drop.

I saw all in my eyes.. n only told my hb when she left.. my hb replied " oh is it? maybe she dun know la".....

infact still got alot that i dun wan to say... cos my MIL simply cannot accept people saying her.. cos she thinks she is always right.

allergy
hmmm.. i dun know egg will easily caused allergy. i only started recently when i start work as my mum prepared 1 for me for breakfast..

Oh dear.. i have childhood asthma &amp; eczema till now. Sinus also have in the morning.. sniffing nose.. I hope Ashlynne will follow her daddy... nothing wrong with him. dun take after all my bad things...

Hi fabbie
i did saw that my milk quality improve.. not as watery as before..

my ger is ok.. not as cranky as before. touchwood. My HB yesterday taught her how to do " lion roar" with his mouth open huge n wide..Then every now &amp; then, she keep roaring... Haiz.. i dun know want to laugh or scold...

Hi Kath
beside chicken of essence, i still take BU soup almost every few other nights.. my mum can make good soup always.. so those boiled chicken soup etc etc.. she complained that i breastfeed until no day &amp; night.. look shack...

Maybe tats why my milk quality recently improved..

But i still very tired n shack.. maybe from young..i dun have good health already..
 
emeraldbride - is there a logbook? coz all the instructions we write there. my HB will nag at the teacher in morning &amp; i will nag at 2nd shift teacher in evening. i want to collect the cube at adel's place, i will only arrive abt 2.30pm. if we don't meet, i think u can pass to adel. thanks.
 
jo, if u eat 'good' food daily, ur milk will become thicker and more yellowish and for bb is fuller lor. good food not necessary be expensive food lar.. like now i eat fish daily.. onie $4 per meal then i will drink orange/carrot juice hoping that the vitamin C and A can be passed on to Zach..heheh

dun say u look shack.. Zach sick this week i alr very tired liao..last nite he pooped and was very watery, his pants all pooped..after washing up, he vomitted, wash again..then middle of the night after milk he vomit again, i hv to change the bedsheet. He change so many pyjamas in one day till no more pyjamas liao! Hv to ask my hb to bring some fr SG today..haha
 
Kath - No, me not working in bank but looking for a job in bank cos i hv banking &amp; finance degree. Last time work in a finance company at raffles place. U got any lobang or not? :p
 
pastillies
you take your time lar. lol.. i next sat then close.. can self collect. i will updated it by tonight. cus today im quite busy hehe

kath
u are LUCKY that i only choose a few romper.. if i put more romper in i think can really die sia. hahah i also quite stress duno which romper should i get for my gal hehehe

snowger
i know how it feel. but do let ya hub know so that he could side you. if not u make a big fuss lor. i always did it when my hub makes me angry. faints. i think my MIL going to hate me alot. hahah but till now lucky she's still okai with me. U got to tell ya hub ya! dun think so much. sometimes i also really want to let my hub to handle since he always say he can handle it alone always(which i know he wont). But then think again. for ya gal. we must REN! =) why not vent here? VENT lar! hehe will feel better ^^
 
snowger cheer up.. look on the bright side.. at least to your bb you will always be mummy and no one can replace that..

Emeraldbride, same here.. so can i meet u next week at raffles place to collect the HT cereal?

fong2, ya now banking jobs v rare cos everywhere cutting.. take your time.. I also feel like staying at home when im at work and when im at home i feel like going back to work.. Very contradicting!
 
haha...

have to eat good food in order to let her have good milk. Cos i lazy to eat supplement.. if i remember i eat..

i m ok on wed but only at 1pm onwards...
happy.gif

I need to express milk from 12pm
 
hippo and snowger:
hang in there gals.. i understand the stress of having to balance werk and family, esp now with such a young and little one to care for. do try to take time off (putting BB in the safe care of HB, mum or other trusted family member) for yrself. i almost slipped into depression too last mth, Kasia is so demanding in the day dat i was stressed out even thou i only have to face her full day during wkend. and the thot of having to go back to werk this mth with tons of things to clear din help. but after taking time off regaularly when i went out with my frens(once in 1-2weeks), im coping better liao. ultimately, we have to share the caring of the BB with HB, who of cos have to be supportive and understanding. in this instance, im grateful dat thou my HB werk 6-day werk wk, he's a hands-on daddy =)

i dun think i can ever becum SAHM as i love to be in action at werk. not dat im a career woman thou, i do have times when i imagine becuming a tai tai, having a maid to take care of kiddo and hse werk, car and money to zip ard... but guess when the time cum, i will be bored in no time. im the type who nid to go out everyday, if not will die type!! hahaha...

Kath:
oh no... hope Zach will recover fast fast, can understand yr worry, hopefully his fever will subside asap!

Phyl:
goodness me! Hayden luk so cute in dat jumperoo?!! yr action really fast man, so soon buy 1 after trying Iris's on Sun! hahaha... ur really 1 effective mummy!

Fong2:
*high 5* we 2 are the FTWM type! hahaha... ya, i enjoy financial independence, if depends on my HB pay, think we will need to downgrade to 3-rm, sell car, sell my dad, sell Kasia... hahaha... no lar, more imptly, i spend on anything i deem fit, no need ask for permission ;p

jo,

At least ur MIL still volunteer to take care. Me n my hubby now dunno wat to do. MIL dun really like to take care. Last time keep urging us to give her a grandson..now alamak.
She come my hse for the sake of us asking her n do nothing else. Whole day chit chat loudly with friends n sister on the phone till wake the baby up. Also complain about the maid's cooking. Ask her if can teach the maid, she shake her head like a child. Once we reach home, she first time grab her bag n zhao liao.

Can even give me suggestion telling me why not she go downstairs coffeeshop get to know some aunties there so nxt time can just call n ask the aunties to come up our house to spot check randomly on the maid. LIdat she dunid to come. Haiz

carmen, ever since Zach is born, i never go out wif hb alone before but is ok lar. I oso thought i will fall into depression but mine is cos i m too obsessed wif baby to bother abt anything!

Zach is much better liao after eating 4 rounds of the medication..hopefully he will return to his usual self soon. He suddenly refuse to 'talk' ever since he fall sick..must be cos his throat is inflamed..sad!

First foods : Came back from work and saw an envelope placed outside the main door, opened the envelope and it's a book "First foods", so happy can reached as same day my boy turn 4 mths old today.
happy.gif

I sent a cheque with order form for first food to Marshall Cavendish at last week and received it in good condition by today. The book was sent by Swiss post instead of Singpost coz the stamp indicated Swiss post hand delivery copy. But how can just simply put it in between the gate and main door, if taken up by someone then who bear responsible for the lost ?
 
oh dear.. little rabbit..
i asked them to mail to my own flat but my own flat , i only return on weekends... as we stayed with my mum on weekdays... Leave at the main door.. SIGH... lost how??? faintz...

Merydith...
