SG,
Not sure if have BP for sling or not. The last time I bought from motherhood fair. The only "extra" is they throw in the demo VCD free when it usually costs $3.50 or something like that.

Queenie,
When going out alone with baby, don't need to carry so many things lah. What your own handbag... just put your wallet, handphone and lippie into diaper bag also! hee.. in fact the first few months after having baby, I don't even know where is my handbag anymore. Go out with baby, carry diaper bag. Go to office, carry bag meant for breastpumps and just slot my essential items into the pump bag!

 

[sherg]

kome..so we have to get the $60+ carrier if we are going for infant n above? not more than 15kg.. tat means ard 1.5yrs old ba. hmm...dunnoe sling is better or this..this carrier like on't coz any backache..but like abit troublesome to wear in /out..

 

[sherg]

pups..in tat case, tink the price more or less standard. hee..shall discuss with my hb and see which one he tinks is better, sling or carrier. =)

 

[bel_vodka]

SG

pups

[gingal]

Yeah, I was talking about the Gucci Sales. Thinking if can find any Big Big Bag to use as diaper bag...
Then as I was talking about buying the bags thingy..Hubby treat it as "Er Bian Feng"...

tsp,

My blood pressure is normal.

Queenie,

I abit Buay Tahan not having income liao... I think I will just give myself 3 months maternity leaves and back
to work. I was in Credit Control and now economy is so bad, ppl are paying so much more for my position... i can't
wait to Start earning the $$$ again!!! My hubby ask me stop surfing the net for jobs, cos it makes me feel so helpless...
Hope next year the market value will get higher...

I begged my hubby for $$$ loh... I said to him for giving me $100/200 a week to spend. He say I siao...
Got $$$ still wanna fleece him...

At least U get wat u wan... i begged and get nothing also...

 

[lenny_susanty]

Mummies,

i noticed you gals are mentioning about BP? what is BP?

 

[kome]

Queenie
I brought the combi secong hand one already @ $50. Now saw this BP abit regretted to buy that 2nd hand one already. Heehee.....actually me looking at the $70+ one, but too bad can see only cannot buy already.

SG
When i use the sling for my elder son, back will abit ache and shoulder felt very pain after carrying him for too long. I had tried the combi one, once you place properly should not be very trouble to put on.

 

[lenny_susanty]

wintertime,

my post-natal massage is paying by session, not package type..

 

[kome]

Re: Bubble tea
I am also a bad mummy cannot control not taking the bubble tea. I also will try to sneak 1 cup back home. My mum will scold me if she see me buying. Not only me my brothers who ever help me buy will get scolding also.

Lenny
BP = Bulk Purchase

 

[sherg]

lenny...bp, bulk purchase. =)

kome..yah i also see my sis like having backache..maybe shld really consider a carrier..btw, hw heavy is a carrier..i hope its something light..

 

[kome]

SG
Sorry, not able to advice. Think have to see which one you choose ba...........

 

[sherg]

queenie / kome..looks like we'll get nags/scoldings for taking bubble tea. haha..tink must control liao..haha..hot day then drink ba!! =)

 

[lenny_susanty]

SG & Kome,

Thanks.. now i know what is BP.. kekeke..

 

[pups]

SG,
Guys will usually prefer the carrier but nowadays I see a lot of daddies slinging their babies too

As for backache or not, it depends on how you spread the piece of cloth on your shoulder. I realised if I spread the cloth such that it covers my upper arm also, the weight is better distributed. But when the baby gets a lot heavier, I think you will still get backache from using carrier if you carry for long.

Queenie,
Invest in dehumidifier for your bag closet! heh Actually if you have any bags that is big enough, can use that as diaper bag. We only bring our Allenhand diaper bag out when hubby goes out together. On my own, I prefer to use a handbag that can fit all the things I need.

 

[bel_vodka]

gingal

[pups]

Queenie,
Try checking DIY shops like Home Fix. They should have dehumidifier for sale. I have one small one, hang in cupboard type. When the silica gel in it change colour, just plug it to dry it then can reuse. This one cost $20+. Cannot remember exactly how much or how effective cos bought it quite a while back and have not been using liao

oops sorry for double post..

 

[tsp]

Wintertime,
Can’t rem her rate.. think was sgd70 per session? I find her good.. the binding was very effective. Tummy flattens out.

Kome,
Did you lose weight during 1st tri? Am sure the bb is growing well or your gynae wld be more worried than you.

SG,
Does your boy feel uncomfy in the sling? I bought for my boy.. find it stuffy hot and poor thing as the back is all curled up. So gave up on sling, still prefers stroller cos he stays in there, can also put all shopping stuffs in the stroller. Shoulder and body aches when carrying baby for too long.. more ventilated for bb to stay put in stroller. Furthermore, am scare bb too used to be carried and refused to sit in stroller. When they get older, going to be tougher to kick off carrying habit

SG,
That sounds a good option except that it folds flat instead of umbrella. With quinny, thought can use the maxi cosi as car seat too? No need to have separate car seat again, takes up another space..

Queenie,
u SAHM?

 

[bel_vodka]

tsp
sahmtb

 

[sherg]

queenie..me stay at bukit panjang...rain stopped liao...getting warm..haha...my hb having dinner with his business fren..tink i just go n settle my dinner at Mac ba. feel like double cheese burger today. haha

 

[gingal]

Queenie,

Not bad la, ur hubby still give u some spending $$$ and u can still use his cards to buy things. I use his cards or my own cards also the same. When bills comes, he will tell me the sub-total for my supp card portion and i also need to pay him for what I used...

Rainy day good for steamboat...My MIL cooking dinner today, so gotta go her place eat..if not, i also would like steamboat dinner today...

Stretch Marks:

I am having red stretch marks on my breasts under my nipples...so sad.. I think i neglected applying cream there, i keep applying the sides and top part...The dark and huge aerola already looks disgusting, now with the stretch marks...sianzzz...dun feel sexy anymore...

Nigra Line:

There is no line that appear on top of my navel.. is this normal? i only have the line below my navel...so when ppl ask me if my line is straight and in-line, i can't tell them...

 

[sherg]

tsp...re: quinny..sorrie shld be maxi cosi car seat instead of combi. haha..but i find taking car seat in n out of car abit troublesome..somemore my hb's car very cramp (2 door) so we give up the idea of having shared car seat + stroller. =)

 

[bel_vodka]

SG
ya lor.. once rain stop will get warm..
u gg out to eat? lol.. i love cheese burger too..
but i realised for the past 1 week plus i have been taking too much beef. shd cut dwn.

[gingal]

Sg,

Ok I am very fair, so maybe that explains why...
I also dunno why I am so fair now, i was borned "Hitamanist" (Spell Err???), means i was really dark at birth, as my Mum's family side is Peranakan, so they are mostly Dark-skinned...but after school days, i became really fair... even sun-taning can't get me tanned skin..i only get red...

wonders if my baby will be borned like me dark anot...
