Hi mommies! wow....i can finally log on here after so long! gald to see that everyone is doing great! (After speed reading a couple days post) I have been tied up at work - came back to work on 29 April. So miss my darling boy so so much! But no choice lei - expenses so high - so ditched the idea of being STAY home mum.
In a month's time, i will be placing my boy in IFC too! i just registered with one. Have much up my sleeve as i have to move house in a mth's time - so have been bz dealing with the paperwork and also checking out some basic renovation stuff. And also have to check out a few IFC for Ethan.
Now at last i have settled with Learning Vision at Republic Poly. Wish i had the time to read up on previous posts as i can see quite a few mommies sent their babies to IFC - wish i could have got your advice.....
Well, things are bz but getting by....my little one fusses badly every evening before sleeping. Sigh....tiring sia! But in the morning when he wakes up - he is super guai lor! smiles and giggles at EVERYTHING! funny rite! hehhehehe - but really can feel so much love for him.....i feel so blessed with such a precious gift from GOD. Cant imagine life without him.....

Cherryale : Agreed with gelato, ur gal will know who is mummy & who is maid/granny eventually. Previously with # 1, i was a weekend mummy, only bring him back home on Fri night & usually back to MIL house on Sun night. There were certain stage that he fussed and prefered MIL but then after a while mummy is still his prefered choice, very sticky to me.
Now with # 2, i am still weekend mummy for # 2 cos i bring # 1 back home everyday but only bring # 2 back on Fri night.
So don't worry, as what my mil said, mummy is always mummy, bb/kid will stick to u eventually no matter how close is him now with maid/mil/nanny

ni: keep some milk bags in yr office incase u forget next time.
last time i forget to bring bottles, i pump into clean ziplock bag tied with rubber band. lol
other time i brought bottles but forgot to bring bottle caps, i poured milk into brand new mineral water bottle (the water i drink them up first).
one day i forgot to bring funnels, it was worst of all. i had to hand squeeze, very messy, the milk sprayed on floor.

cherryale, I no seem this toy b4 juz saw some1 posted in the thread saying the pink purse is available in the sale and only $18. So thinking if any1 is gg there then can help me buy. I think original is $39.90. Delia also seemed to be very close to my maid. Whenever she see my maid she will b very happy n excited. So now I try to play with her more often after work but then now supervising Damien sch work. Nearly vomit blood in teaching him.

omg, i typed a long post then dun know wat happenned cannot post and got deleted.
fluffy, gelato, emq, ni, sus, sam, thanks for the comforting words. I know our kids will know who is mummy eventually but I dun want to go down that path already. It took my boy 18mths to want me as mummy. He only started to cling to me when I was pregnant and called me mummy when #2 is borned. Before that he didnt want to call me, not even mama.
I latched on my gal again this morning, will do that everyday, at least this is something only I can do. At night, I dun have much time to carry her cos by the time i reached inlaws plc will be around 9pm, had quick dinner then send the kids home. Once reached home, if #2 is not asleep, I will carry her (that's when she rejected me) while maid will bathe.

sperzz, yah Pat said she saw the purse toy at the sale. There is tool box equivalent for boys I think. Damien so young need to supervise sch work already??? Must be stressful but he is such a good boy, I like him v much. Bring him over to my plc to swim with Ashton leh, can he swim already?
dazed: Really? Got freebis if Tupperware comes? I dunno le, only ask her to bring samples for viewing, din ask abt freebies... Then I already have lots of Tupperware (got before I met this friend)... so nothing much to buy from her... so feel a bit pai say la... just ask her to come & show to us... also, she has been helping me change my old Tupperware items (foc service)..
Oh yes, mummies, if you have old Tupperware items for exchange, can bring along & get Annie's help lol.

Gelato, aiyoh, is ur bb fever very high? Ke lian! Dun worry k.....ur caring for him will make him fine....
Ni, i couldnt catch up on previous postings but gather that u sent ur maid back? Wow - but u are doing great on your own....thumbs up to u man! no joke workin and taking care of bb urself....well done!
Myself too - since i started working, i have to place Ethan in the care of my hubby's auntie (Whom we detest) but bo pian! She is stubborn and also like to create conflict between my MIL and me. So i cant wait to start the IFC and take Ethan away from her. She is teaching him nonsense lor! So altho aworried abt whetehr Ethan can get used to the IFC...but i still kindof look forward to it.
For now, everyday after work i will rush back to pick him up and look after him till next morning then send him back to the auntie. So heartbreaking. And whats worse - he seems to prefer her to us! Cos i guess he is with her for more of his waking hours ba......sob.

suika/ni: how you contain the milk while pumping without bottle?
my secretary told me to use the plastic bag to contain and still can give to baby.. its the "normal" type .. clear... can use to contain bread etc..
its my expressing time now but i think i will just take half day to go home.. maybe pickup my gal earlier.
the fp sale really not worth going? near the place where i am working but i scare later i will explode. so still undecided whether to dropby or not...

i can so relate to you mommies who feel a little detached from ur bb....like cherryale, my heart goes out to u.....cos i also in the same boat. I try to spend as much time with bb as i can already....but dunno why he seems to prefer the auntie or my maid.
Maybe cos they are always around him, whereas i disappear for a good 3/4 of the day and only see him max of 2 hrs a day. Of which he will be asleep most of the time. Sigh.....i understand lor

ladies: shall we capped our 6 months gathering at 40 mummies??? i scared we burst EMQ function room! hahaha.. LOL
missycandy: I realised you are only interested in the talks & not the gathering... I suppose not a problem.. but as it's a informal gathering (as opposed to a commercial event), we may not keep to time if there are last min changes.. in which case, you may end up making a wasted trip... why dun you just join us for the gathering?
Mummies: In view of the large numbers, I think we shall just keep to only 1 demo from Nestle. What do you think? But I'll ask them if they can stay a little longer to take questions from the 40 mummies. Cos if there are too many 'outside' distractions, we will end up less time for interaction... considering with bb, need to feed, need to change diaper, etc...
