sung - my PILs are nice ppl la, especially my MIL...i can say she's v v nice and patient lor....seldom see her losing tempers one...i always tell ppl my MIL is v nice...but jus that when staying together in new flat, no matter how nice they are i oso somehow feel i wan to have my own home without them...selfish thinking hor?
now i stay in their flat, i won't close door until when i need to take a nap or sleep...they will go do about their daily tasks too, FIL will be watching tv in his room and MIL will watch tv in the living room...i will be in my room on my comp...onli occasionally will come out and watch the tv with my MIL in the living room lor...
the thing that is good is that they are seldom home over the weekends, they are those type of ppl cannot stay at home one...my MIL already told us next time when our boy is out, she will take care of him on weekdays and leave the job to us on weekends cos she has her own progs too...hehe
SG - i jus weighed myself on the machine, i gained another kg this month, within the limits of wat Dr Heng said...one kg per month! haha!
sung - i try to cut down on cold things lor, sometimes cannot resist...but i heard from mrs wong bb that once cold stuff goes in will be "warmed up" on its way before it actually goes to the bb...wonder if its realli the case?

SG - so far i gain abt 8 kg liddat compared to my pre-pregnancy weight...
pinksorbet:: heeh i also loove to take cold drinks.. just had some A&W haha!!
Taking care of bb::
Right now, i'm staying with MIL cause my new home is not ready and so natually #1 is under her care. We didn't give her any more money other than the household expenses which is quite a good deal loh. But now the headache part is, we're gg to move when the new home is ready around late quarter next yr and she keeps commenting that both #1 and #2 should stay with her and FIL and then we come home for dinner everynight and then fri night then bring the 2 kids home. I really don't want this arrangement but don't know how to voice it out to her. So we just have to wait and see how when the situation really happens. What Hubby and I hope is for her to move with us to take care of #2 at our home while #1 goes to childcare but that is also very selfish of us... if not just send #2 to infantcare too loh. Sighssss.

I have only gained 5kg from my pre-pregnancy weight. Hope BB is gaining the weight.

My mum also told me that leave #1 at her place and only bring him home during fri night when our house is really next year also. My hb don't like this idea. Same as you will take a step at a time and how when we move.

sung, i have been having heartburn after meals, pain from throat to chest, sometimes when i burped, some acid will gush up to my mouth. so nowadays i will take some some bites between meals to keep the acid down my throat.

re:breastpump - im opting for freestyle becos its looks really easy to use and its super lightweight as compared to PIS... plus its also small in size... becos my work entails me to travel around SG alot and i do not drive, i need to be able to cope with lugging my pump around as well as my own work bag... my current work bag is already very very heavy... everyone who has carried my work bag has said so... HAHAHA... ive tried to remove some items but some items just cant do without.. no choice... my only worry is though im very onz abt BF-ing now, am afraid will have problems, not enough milk, etc etc... then money spent on pump quite wasted... its really an investment... my initial choice was Avent Duo Isis but after reading more abt medela, im somewhat bought over! heee... The only other pump that can probably "fight" with my freestyle with reagrds to size and weight wld be Ameda... but nt much feedback on the pumping power leh... plus its like half the price only!!! I think I shall wait for the baby fair to see if there are any promos and then decide... =)
confinement - b4 i got pregs, i did ask my MIL to do confinement for me becos she has done it for her dg twice and knows what to cook and herbs and stuff as compared to my own mum... =P but the condition was that if MIL were to do for me, i wld have to move to her plc and stay there for the whole mth... which i totally do not agree with la... its common room, toilet outside... plus she has 2 grandsons( my nephew in laws ; age 9 & 11) who are super noisy and fighting all the time with her in the afternoon after their school til dinner time when the parents fetch them... this is also a turn off for me... i doubt i will have any peace while im there! So ended up getting my mum to do it instead... but now my MIL is offering to travel from Tiong Bahru to Sembawang every morning to cook for me and then leave by noon so that when the nephews get home, she is there... when i told my Mum abt this, my mum said okie good then il jus look after the baby and she can do the cooking -_-""" which also made me quite angry la... i mean she not paiseh i paiseh leh... even though my MIL offered, its not right to make her travel daily lor! Hubby says if that is the case, he wants me to go stay with him mum instead -_-" i actually bought my mum those confinement recipe books to read and learn... my mum is retired so she is verrrryyyy free... so i told my mum, go and plan the menu for my confinement... plan what to cook daily... what to buy, etc... becos we will need to give her money to buy ma... so since so free can do meal planning lor... as for my MIL, i told my mum to speak to her abt it.. maybe can take turns or whatever... i dont want them to end up arguing in my home... if that happens, either i will walk out of the house with bb or lock myself in the room...
so sian lor!!! though staying tiong bahru is very tempting becos town area wor!!! but i still prefer comfort and privacy of own home lor... =(
sorry jus ranting... hee hee =x

hugs missycandy. i can guess how you feel.
my mum oso not working but when i ask her first to help me look after bb, she said no, too long never take care of bb, worried. then after a while, she offered maybe 3 days out of a week, coz she said she still want her freedom. argued and was so upset initially coz 3 days out of 5 days, how am i to go back to work? she's not working wah and i already promised her can go back fri nitez but she still said c how, no promises, etc etc. was so stressed and fedup at first. then hb said how abt asking his mum and when we asked, mil just agreed at one go. even agreed to move to our hse. sigh...wish so much it was my own mum who agrees to help but can't help it. parents got their own wishes too and we can't always relied on them.
look on the bright side, at least your mil cares about you and bb so much. she even offers to travel to cook for you. it's quite a distance, she's really nice. maybe can tell her only alternate days or a few days a week lor. oso at least your mum still helping you out to look after bb. so you'll hv both experienced mums to help out. dun tink too much, or feel too paiseh. just show your appreciation and thanks to your mil in other ways later hee hee big angbao during cny?
