yo fireangel,
thanks
happy.gif

wow actually those will be even simpler to make. Can cut down production time so I might try it. LOLs.

I kinda like the complicated stripey look cos I think the big contrast will attract baby's attention. I tried dangling it infront of gracie and she couldn't stop staring at the eyes. What a hoot! Opps ;)

Hmm ... think I should experiment with a sleepy owl, big eyed owl and a simpler eye owl.
 
sinmey .. sorry .. forget to post what i intended to tell u... i tink will be better at least one yr bond but speaking of how u explain ur co give quite a good pay cum super flexible... i tink the company is for keeps too.. but whatever decision u make i know it would be for the best
 
Asura, aiyo hope ur lump will clear away soon,ya drink more hot chocolate gal
happy.gif

I also hv a painless lump near my chest bone on my left breast, I also try to massage n hope it clears! Think mine is a milk node
sad.gif

Anyone here gt painless lump?

Alfafa, nice artwork!
happy.gif
 
Asura,
yes sleep more. When I kenna mastitis I was like you, had the shivers, splitting headache, fainting spells... the works and yet still had to take care of baby alone. Lucky thing is I didn't really have very painful breasts then (was the 2nd time that was painful but then that time I didn't have high fever). And I was lucky cos hubby was home to help since it was the weekend.

Loaded up on panadol, then went to bed with baby next to me. Whenever she fussed I simply rolled over to feed her. :p

GFlad you are ok now. No mdm rokiah around but thank goodness you have the hot stone.

Sleep more ok. Definitely will have a gathering when you are back. Vivo sounds great.
 
ida,
yah lah. We sold off the queens size bed in the downstairs bedroom to convert it into a play room for gracie cos she has alot a gazillion toys ... but turned out that it is more of MY playroom than her's right now. Ribbons fabrics patterns drafts lying all over. yah only plushie has filling. Taggie hanky willbe flat like taggie blanket. Yah sure. Let me know if your colleagues want. I can drop you an email with my wares
happy.gif


but hor. Not ready to promote yet leh. Cos now I have my hands full already. Still having have tme to make Scottish Terrier and Elephant yet.

Thanks mangogal

alfafa, would prefer the gracie which u posted in this fb(think is the pink one).

OMG also interested in your plushie cum taggie blanket
 
Ivy,
oh many thanks for sharing the info on First Toothpaste. Makes alot of sense, what you said. Think I will follow the advice of your dentist.

Prosper, sportyger, seabreeze, pepper, fireangel,
yah I was so stunned. I was actually doing some craftwork while she was doing her thing on the rubber mat on the floor (thank goodness!). One of those rare moments when she was entertaining herself. She started making alot of noise but she always does ayway so I ignored her. I had my back to her. Then the noise bcame ouder and louder .. machiam like she is exerting alot of strength so I turned around and saw her stuck in midair. I just watched her and see what she would do and who knew, she somehow managed to wriggle herself until her arm broke free and voila, she got on her tummy. Before I could clap and congratulate her she flipped back again. She did it one more time shortly after. But I noticed that she couldn't do it if she were on a soft mattress.

I didn't train her but she is older than your babyies anyway lah. 4.5mth liao. Almost a month older than some of yours. Just be prepared ok? Anytime liao!


Starflower's boy is also v fast, but misscandy's fastest lah. Starflower trains her boy and she says it really helps. Her boy flipped at 4mth exactly.
 
alfafa.. how come i not in yr list for the giraffe..

happy.gif

bluebell

princess

princess in dreamland
Prosper
Ivy
Seabreeze
queenie? skimmed through yesterday's thread thought i saw your post

eh you coming tom?
 
alfafa, being SAHM can really witness her first move. That time Kayle flipped was not me the first to see. Is my maid and my hubby. Luckily hb managed to video it for me to see.
 
Asura,
Hope u get well soon. Understand how u feel cos I ganna once b4, fever till 39.7 and it was very sudden too. Was under antibiotics then and GP advise can still let BB drink milk from infected breast. Believe the S'pore breastfeeding support mother's group has the same advice too. Oh and my GP also said that Mastitis is derived from the word "static", so important to keep massaging it when pumping, esp hard to reach areas like near armpit and underneath the breast area. Drink lots of water and get adequate rest.
 
Princess in dreamland,
if you are coming tomorrow you can pick and choose from the available ones ok? Btw yours boy or girl?
happy.gif
)

If not to your liking, I'll take pics and email you so you can pick and choose to your heart's content. hehehe

let me know


Lenny,
LOLs your hubby is right ON THEORY. That with an LV bag you don't need all the rest. And that at least LV has resale value. But he forgot to factor in that once you have an LV it's no turning back liao. And I highly doubt you will want to sell your current one. Hahah

Irene,
forgot to add. No leh no mSN. Not the type to chat on phone or MSN lah. Prefer to meet up. Chatboards occasionally still ok. Now lagi got no time. :p

Srumpee,
wow congrats! Must have felt really liberating right? So did you celebrate by pigging out on tiramisu or something? Must indulge once in a while lah, or make that quite regularly for me. LOLs. I am now 1 more kg to pre-preggie weight but actually I don't really give two hoots (hmm ... freudian slip surely. Keep hooting now) to tht one kg. Am just dying to regain my shape. :p
 
alfafa...
hehee.. is ok lah... dun mind to q n wait lah.. after is handmake with love.. got to wait lor... maybe u can consider hiring a pa lor.. i dun mind to be the one.. so that i can be the first one to see all yr handmake stuffs n reserve for myself... lol...

ya.. me going tmr...

prosper.. congrats to be s sahm... juz realised u stay in clementi too.. maybe next time got gathering we can go together cos me also staying very near clementi...
 
Queenie,
" but last time super low waist now become high waist."
This is damn funny lor, the way you describe. Hahahah I almost choked on my drink. Hahaha

Time management ah? hehe well trained by my boss last time lah. Always have a 100 and one things to do and everything is organised up in my head though my deskn is just one huge mess. I don't play FB games much liao. And only cook like 2 times out of the 4 days (fri is always a nice dinner out) now esp with Gracie becoming more and more demanding. Sigh. My webby is righ now still a blank page leh. Actually I think studying is worse. Still need to do homework, has deadlines but need to do group projects which means must cater to other people's timing. Worse!

Pups,
from what you described it sounds like it is going to happen any day liao. Gracie was like this 2-3 days before her actual flip! Standby camera

Prosper,
yah lor, really touched to be able to witness it. Called my hubby to tell him. He was so excited and wanted to see her flip too but she has been playing coy with daddy. Refused to do it in front of him so until now he is still hoping to catch her in action.

Wow good that your hubby video-ed it down so you still managed to watch her first flip. NOw that you are a SAHM there will be many more such moments to look forward to
 
Pepper, Jasmine babes
oooh thanks for the links. Will check them out. Both look v interesting and I certainly can do with swaps!

Asura,
thanks babe. Was thinking about that too. Will take t slow and steady. If my ready made ones go well I will start allowing customising. =D

Not entrepreneur lah. I am more a crafter at heart, like Irene. Maybe we should combined our talents and start craft workshops. Heheh what a thought.
 
jazho,
performance can be something out of the Shrek movie? They have all the classic characters in the movie.

maybe give each table a set of raw materials and they have to dress up one of the diners on their table according to one of the fairytale characters. Then put it to vote on who;s outfit most resembles the actual character? Raw materials can include fun things like aluminium foil, trash bags, raffian strings, ribbons.. etc PLUS whatever the dinners on the table can spare for the dressing out. Will be very fun to watch the guys start undressing for chip in their belts, hair clips, scarves etc.

jojo,
yikes, little eddric is a Little Mischief hahaha poo all over mommy. :p
Hey are you bringing him to my place next Tue? wow gracie will look tiny next to your sumo boy.

Hey saw on Kris' FB that they had a Durian gathering. Yum Yum Yum

Maybe we should have one. But I am terrible at choosing durians and I like them chilled somemore, not room temperature. Is there going to be home gathering soon?

Been a while hor? long time to go till the 6mth bash somemore. Who wants to volunteer? I would love to but realistically cannot cos it is too small. With the new sofa set I can only fit not more than 9.
 
oh yeah alfafa.. forget to say that really can feel ur emotions when you typed grace flipped.. hhee... oh so now .. her playroom is hers.. hee... ok u email me ok... for me myself....put in Q after you have done for all...scared wait also my mum gonna make it as a perhiasan(i mean to put it there as not to play as a decoration) if she sees it too nice.... of coz.. wait i go back to work.. will let my colleagues know.. now already just finished collating with a help frm office fren to collate donations for Charmaine by doing name stickers (one mummy did it and all proceeds will go to her) yippee.. managed to get 67 names down... at least a little bit for the poor Charmaine

and i cant wait to see your webby.... you sure have lots of determination in you....
 
idlecat,
hope you are feeling better now. We are mostly first time moms so don't feel so bad yah. I also didn;t realise that baby had fever until the maid told me (that time when my sis let her maid help me for a week while her family went on holiday). Felt so embarrassed and guilty then esp when hubby gave me a look, like an accusing look. :p

Also breastfed babies fall ill as well. Mine is on TBF and she still got fever after the jab. And I agree with fireangel, hospital is not the best place to go to right now,e sp KKH. Too many sick people esp with it being the H1N1 appointed to-go-to place.

baby is fine now and that is all that matters yah.
 
ida,
taht's nice re charmaine. Was thinking of donating 100% proceeds from the sales of a couple of dolls at first but then decided in the end to just donate a lump sum cash upfront. Not confident that my dolls will sell at first. I must be lucky to have my baby in the Mar thread (though turned out to be Feb bb) cos Mar09 mommies are the most shopperholi-ous of them all!

Princess,

re swaddling, I am one who has been swaddling baby since delivery. Only just stopped last week when she turned 4mth and one week. Was terrible at first cos she would wake up after 45min at night. Wanted to go back to swaddling her for some peace (the happiest baby on the block author said it is ok to swaddle as long as we want in the night) but she kept wriggling and arching her body upwards so I culdn't even if I want to. By now she is muc better now. Now she wakes up every 2 hours at night. Aiiiiiii hopefully she will go back to normal soon.

U already have Avent Sterilizer then why still need the tablets leh? Give u an idea of how u should use the tablets

-After each feed, wash bottles etc and rinse with clean running tap water.
- Fully disolve 1 tablet to 2litres of cold or lukewarm water in a non-metallic container
- immerse items into the solution for at least 30min
- remove items from solution with clean hands. No further rinsing required.
- The solution can be reused within 24 hrs.

Let me know u still need the tablets, if yes, pm me your mailing address

Alfafa
I have been eating desserts now and then, but didn't pig it out, just one or two mouth whenever hubby bought his desserts from gastronomia.

Asura
Take care. 40 degrees cel is high fever le. I also ganna before, terrible feeling
 
I just came back from the PD too, same one as Crosailo. She stuffed some carotte puree into Baby A's mouth too! Coincidentally it's Hipp Organic too.

Took her 6-in-1 as well. This doc is really good! Baby cried for only 2 secs then stopped. Smiled a lot when playing with the PD too. She is expensive but worth it! Checked that A didn't get the thrush from me either. Phew.

Asura, wow take care babe!! Going to hospital isn't fun at all.

Alfafa, you're talented babe! Good job
happy.gif
I'll support you in your endeavours, as I am sure the rest of the mummies will. Just don't tell the husbands haha

Hipp FM - collected already. She realised our babies are not 6 months yet so she gave Earth's Best rice cereal to try. Can you bring small ziplock bags or Avent cups if you want to bring some home with you to try? I'll try to get the Hipp Organic teething biscuits for the 6 month bash.

Anyway, TGIF girls! Look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow. If we can make it. The whole family is feeling a bit poorly at the moment
 
Pumpkin,
aiyaya trust things can only get better from now. Must have been a terrible week. We were worried that BB A and you would be transmitting thrush back and forth. Thank goodness both are fine too and that BB has the all clear. Yikes. Can't imagine the pain. Did the PD say what might have caused it?

Hey you too with your diaper cake venture. Just do it, babe! Don't think so much. I was humming and hawing about about whether or not to sell my wares and then Nike's slogan just came to mind. Ah just do it lah! hahaha so here I am.

see ya tomorrow.
 
alfafa.. thats what Yan said too (my bp fren) she was reading and she mentioned that march mummies.. after one.. buy another hor.... pikolo / beco / doidy cups / dvds / pochos... heheh but all is for bb and for use .. so sould be ok.. and frm the table i saw... there are quite a number of babies born same day as Grace rite .. so fast grace turning 5 months...

Hazel, I like your Owl! You are really creative!
Scrapbooking Gathering ah… Need to find a place to do leh, my place not big enough…
For 1st timer, maybe you will just need papers or mini album, glue, scissor and some embellishment.
I think one of the mommy here is also a scrapbooker, is it Cindy or Grace?
maybe we can have a shopping trip to the scrapbook store before we gather to do scrapbooking...
or we can go to scrapbook class together to do a mini album for our little ones.. there're classes held at scrapbook stores at Wheellock place and Plaza Singapura

Serene, what kinda tablet sterilizer you want? I saw you saying for Avent Steriliser? Avent got those packet kind which we can use to clean the sterilizer. Those packets which are inside the box when we bought the avent sterilizer.

Jean, 10kg at 4mths, you have a very chubby baby.
 
wow.. long time didnt log in to read the threads and it is going real fast!!

Oh gosh, i missed the gym trial and kindermusik thingy again... sighs...

Alfafa, ur owl looks good!!! looking forward to more creative pieces from you!!

Prosper, once again congras to you joining the SAHM club!!

Jean, your bb quite big at 4 months, my kayla is 6.1kg and 65cm at 4mths too, and for a gal, she is considered very tall as mentioned by the doc, weight considered normal. Btw, try the puree 1 week later. i gave my gal the juice and she is not interested at all, in the end i have to finish the remaining juice for her.
 
srumpee.. dun think the tablets u hv is wat i wan... i wan those plts powder to wash the sterlizer.. thanks anyway..

Princess
Oh...so u want tablets to wash your sterilizer. I c I c.I thought u dun have sterilizer and are using steriliser tablet to sterilize your items. No prob. Yah...like what Ivy said, use sliced lemon lor cos Avent's are citrus powder anyway, should work the same
