(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs

aurorin,

with no helper, you shld be able to slim down with all the household chores + taking care of baby:p and if your baby is heavy, it'll help faster haha!!

do you plan to work there? going to put your baby in infant care centre? I heard it's quite expensive..
 


jowin
i think the worst is when u come home. she's sleeping.. when u wake up she's also sleeping so at the end of the day she whole day didnt see you.

Jialet lar.. now so heavy rain. lighting and thunder so loud i duno how to get out of my House to go work sia!

bur..
aiyo tout cidney's head is getting better after shave? poor gal.. btw now we go hospital or what must careful.. cus scare the flu passing around liao.
 
2ndbaby, luckily din go to robinsons. Snowger was telling me it was so so so packed and the queue at cashier was snaking long! Talk abt being in recession or swine flu..haha

I asked her to help me purchase SKII stuff n above $100 get $10 voucher. Not bad lar.. other stuff i not sure cos din ask her to get.. dun worry lar, robinsons have sale all year round :p
 
Cindy/Bur,
Is it fungus caused by insufficient drying? I use to get white patches on my face when I was young. My grandma say is cos I went out hot hot then use water to wet the face. :p

My ger went to see the skin doctor (who is oso a GP) downstairs my place for her super bad diaper rash n it was cured 3 days aft using the cream the doc mixed. ;) My neighbour oso went to him for a condition similar to yours and cure aft 3 days... If u all want to go to him too, I'll put up his contact here...

Esther,
Sure. No problem.
happy.gif
I give u lor. This weekend I shld be at home in Redhill. Where U stay? cos fri I may go to punggol.

Jowinbb,
it's not tin one leh. It's the pre-mix formula (liquid) one given by hospital as sample one. My ger dun like so I giving it away. Each bttle 120ml (about 1 feed lor). can't finish can refrigerate but must use within 24hr of opening.

WAVES AT FABBIE:
MEMEMEMEME!!! I may want to order the romper. Let me measure my ger ger tonite so i can determine the size ok? Kum siah...
 
snowger
ok ok .. let me know =P eh are we meeting today? i must sms mum2ndx see she ok anot. i heard yday she urgent leave. cus her bb is sick.
 
Hi gals,
I went for the close door sale. And I spent a whopping $300plus excl the SKII for kath. (Wah lao, first time i spent so much lor) I think most of the disc will still be avail for the non-close door.

I think the nursery has pretty good deals.
happy.gif
The disc were even more generous than the traffic stopping sale.

Cosmetic level- selected brands participate in the $10 beauty voucher for every $100 in one reciept (a bit diff to explain how this works).
NUK - 30% (calling Jowinbb!! Go grab uh!)
First Years - 30%
I did not quite notice the other offers (but I noe got offer for Avent too not sure how many %)

As what I told Kath, every floor is packed with people!!! And the nursery was particularly jammed with parents & prams (talk abt recession & swine flu- seems like not bothering Singaporeans (eh incl me)!) :p

Kath,
The beauty voucher hor is damn cheem. My mum actually paid for 3 of the SKII pdts seperately. So is buy 1 miracle water, get one voucher. offset the 2nd bottle. 2nd bottle get voucher offset 3rd purchase-SK2 serum. then the sk2 serum voucher offset my cosmetic. kekeke... The cashier was nice enough to do it for us lah. The voucher can oni use one per recipet lor...
 
fab,
i dun mind... I will leave aft I finish pump milk which will be close to 1pm, take train reach there will be 1plus liao. I dunno where tat buidling is leh... how uh? I take train to Tanjong Pagar?
 
babbiee.blogspot.com (fabbie)

R you guys still meeting at Tanjong Pagar? I can meet up for a short while quick lunch coz got meeting at 2 pm... let me know where and what time.. I will PM you my mobile.

Summer;
You want to join.?? Kekeke I write as if I am organising it. kekekekeke!
 
snowger, usually i find it difficult to understand those voucher voucher thing.. i still hv metro 20% voucher which they will gv out everytime there is a sale for their cosmetic items.

I tink i buy n buy n buy till i get scared of spending $$ liao. I must realy curb my spending man.. :p
 
morning ladies

wana vent off my anger! damn pissed off wif my other family!! now i not gonna put kayson at mil pl anymore. gonna find a nanny while wait for placing at infant care. =(
 
kath/Jowin/aurorin,

thanks, we going to National Skin Ctr next week, dun think it's fungus infection, cause not itchy nor flaky leh... it's jus ugly white patches on her botak hean... looks like those white spot "peh thio" that some ppl get on their face..
 
Emeraldbride:
Supplier only got stage 2. She say stage 2 is only abit bigger than stage 1 (which I have not seen) and can use longer so more worth it. Stage 1 is only till 9 mths old (less for bigger sized babies).
 
2nd baby
my sil kid suppose to go sch everydae but he got urticaria, so she don wan him go sch even thou not contagious. den we ask mil to tell them tt we unable to take leave for todae even thou my bois sick coz hb got lots of work n i got not enuf staff for work as well plus swine flu alert gg on.

they insist we take coz our kids r sick. but in d 1st pl, their kid suppose to go sch, so if they don wan him go sch, they shud take instead of us ma. they say we din practise wat we preach coz we told them whose kid sick who take. but if thier kid well, they jolly well shud send him to sch n don demand i take leave ma.

told my mil tt i will put him in infant care n she say go ahead den fine lor. don come to us if they don hav money. mil alwaz complain her elder son no give her money n ask us for more. i don care abt them anymore.
 
emerald,
me too!!! I look at all my credit card bills and I think my spending is getting way scary!!! :'( Gotta lock myself at home. Nowadays, like to buy this and that for my ger ger. Ger got even more things to buy! *URGH!*

iemik0,
Aiyah. I am also threading on thin line liao. Have been so pissed that my ger got her flu from my neice n nephew. AND she has not recovered yet. So upset I told my hb off liao. But IFC is still not gd solution since bb can get infected with virus too. DARN SIAN. Maybe I shld take no pay leave to take care of her myself. But then I got no patience leh + I am a super bad mother. *HAIZ* Too bad my grandma is old liao else ask her to help me take care.
 
snowger
same here. laz time when their kids sick n jayzon was onli a bb, they din even inform us until we flare up at my mil. coz she know n din tell us.

at least at IFC, i wun hav to c or hear from them. sick is no choice. now kayson kip falling sick due to them passing to him as well so does not make a diff for mi. i will juz apply for leave n inform my manager. appraisal affected oso no choice. my kids r my 1st priority. unlike tt 2 idiots!!

my grandma also wan help mi look afta tgt wif a maid but she too old liao. ltr langugage barrier even worst. =(
 
iemik0,
my ah ma is too frail and weak. My auntie afraid to handle new borns/babies.

The most infuriating part is that the kids are already coughing and one was like sniffing in the mucus in the nose. So I told my MIL to ask them to stay away fr my bb n dun touch her. She can still tell me "No la. Where got cough? They not sick.". I told my hb next time is either they go or my baby goes. Then he ask me "Who take care?" I said of cos me la! Else? Leave the baby in my own home alone? *VERY pissed n ANGRY!*
 
snowger
understand ur frustration. i feel like resigning as well but i got bond plus taking up degree in july. haiz.

they reali bu zi dong one. y wana make everyone suffer as well?!?

how abt finding a nanny? i waiting for my aunt to give mi answer if she can look afta my son plus her granddaugther anot. if cannot den tmr, i gonna start looking for nanny.

gonna show my mil tt i mean wat i say n i will do it.
 
iemik0 - all the best in finding a gd nanny. i also v sian... my mil yest asked me why never give A teether biscuit to eat. no tooth at all. he is still sick. eat what teether biscuit?
 
juz, mabbe cos ur mil thought u alr started A on solid how come never give teether biscuit lor. Anyway, teether biscuit dun hv to be given onie when they hv teeth..it is meant to be given to them when they are abt to teeth.. anyway, sick oso dun give lar..too heaty.
 
-_-? now leh? how many mths to eat teether biscuit? anyway, A can't even hold a teether and put into his mouth. he will put other things into his mth (eg. blanket, bean bag, handkie)
 
emeraldbride - A doesn't look like he is abt to teeth, just more saliva only, but gums look nothing growing or nothing sore. when A learns to put his rubber teether into his mouth and when he is well, then i see how. he just start semi-solid this wk. i wanted him to slowly try all the food. he is ok w frisocrem, so will move onto another cereal. teether biscuit can always wait.

JE,

Will consider to find part time work after she turns 1. Need to check out child care first. Not sure how much it cost but there is rebate and childcare benefits.. will check it out when we are there lor..
happy.gif


iemik0,
Sorry to hear about the face/off with ur in-laws. Hope you get a good nanny or IFC soon. I know most will worry about kids being sick in infant care but those bbs whom i know goes to infant care are all pretty well taken care off...

bur,
Sometimes fungus may not be itchy or flaky so better get it chk out at NSC, at least get medication/cream to get rid of it.
 
iemiko & snowger
Actually we are quite forturnate to be able to transfer Bryan to the new infantcare centre. As the centre is new and there are only 4 babies (including Bryan) for the 1st month, all the babies are healthy and well + the toys are all clean and new. Now, even with an additional 2 babies, they're still in good health.

I think from my previous experiences with infantcare at the old centre where there are more mobile tots then babies, the chances of our baby getting sick is much higher.

So if relationships is failing with your other family and they're not exercising understanding for your concerns, infantcare is not bad an idea but you've to really assess the ratio of mobiles to infants and if they are indeed separated by rooms etc. Jobs market is really tight now so hang in there
happy.gif
 
iemik0,
Actually own pple take care is always best la. If my MIL din have to take care of my niece n nephew, I would have been happy for her to help take care. my nephew falls sick so easily...

Haiz... what to do. When I told the PD, she said "Go look for another caretaker!" I was thinking if my hb heard her.
happy.gif
I think I'll bring my ger for a follow up. scared she kena bronchitis... :'(

Think she suffers the most cos she screams like a hyena when we give her the nasal drops (Super heart pain one lor). And to make things worse, the nasal drops always lend up everywhere except her nose...
sad.gif


Luthadel,
How tall is Bryan now? He very cute leh... At least he babbles. My ger is still not babbling to us and chooses to talk to her Star-shape nite lite or her hands when she's in her playpen... :p
 
How come my baby still cannot pass the 7kg mark?? He's gonna be 5months next week leh. Abit sian.. summore cannot start on cereal. Mabbe my breast milk not fatty enuf..he dun seem to grow leh. How ah?? Eat KFC everyday?
 
emeraldbride,
I dun think it's cos breast milk not fatty leh... Cos nutrients in BM is fairly constant. The oni diff is the type of fats-saturated & unsaturated. Eating more unhealthy stuff will cause BM to contain saturated fat. Which means no good for bb in long term bah.

Could be the amount he is drinking? I keep forgetting to ask my PD cos my PD stress that my bb is not drinking enuf... *Hmmm* My ger's weight gain initially was more than 250grms (1st mth) then it dwindled to 100grms +. The last I weigh my ger ger she oni gain 100grms+ in abt 2wks!

Tamms told me she eats loads of protein... :p

Actually I wan to ask my PD wat is the consequence of a low weight bb? Cos apparently the PD won't be concern as long as bb is hitting the milestones his age (e.g. muscle tone, etc).
 
damn moody sia... tomorrow tout have a great chance not to work tomorrow.. didnn't expected i heard from my director i need to come back tomorrow. my heart sank sia.. and i seriously keep thinking should i quit or not. Dun quit i will keep doing these OT that makes me mad and tired.. if i quit how am i going to feed my gal? haiz.. why so fan. now i only PRAY that i last min no need to come back to office TOMORROW! because its a PUBLIC holiday! company dun give me extra pay but only give me off. i rather i get OT pay man! . puiz..

haiz.. should or shouldn't quit? if i quit i dun feel like working liao! how.?! yes or no.. haiz

Btw.. whoever wants carters bib and romper. i have READY STOCKS liao from the 1st shipment. do email me. and as for the 2nd batch new rompers do email me ya. if the order is little i may push to some other time. since its quite rush =)
 
hi cindy,
the PD dun know what is it so refer us to a skin specialist in NSC, but dun know if it's a skin specialist for babies, but the nurse told me the consultation chrg alone is $68...hope i can claim back from my co.'s insurer.
 
fabbie... u poor thing...if ur hubby can support the family, then quit & look after ur ger urself...else ur job demand so much of ur time till stress & cannot spend time with ur ger...
 
snowger, Zach alr drinking 180ml every 4hrs leh. PD oso got a shock when i told her he is drinking 180ml. He onie put on 100g compared to few weeks ago (When he was weigh in MY)..abit alarming rite, whr did all the BM goes?

Eat protein meaning alot of fish, eggs n chicken breast?
 
emeraldbride,

KFC??!! Don't la. Maybe Zach is just lean .. like you
happy.gif
Anyway, as long as he's healthy no need to be worried about him hitting 7kg. He will soon enough.

fabbie,

wa lau eh .. poor u!! Work tomorrow??!!!! PH leh ...
How to advise u to give up your job if you need the income? ... Is there an alternative? Find another job ? *pat* *pat* I also hope for you that you won't have to go in tomorrow.

emeraldbride

iemik0,

snowger and kath,

sam

Maybe i should give a try to do another job or maybe rest awhile.
