Hi Stickymouse, the bibs are so cute! heee...
Jam75, regarding complexion, I find mine has improved. I have heard both sides of reasoning, some ppl tell me, expecting boy will look good and girl will look not so good and the other way round, very confusing.
I discovered my pregnancy only on the 7/8 week. So on my facial appt at 12 weeks, my facial lady said skin has improved and less oily, becoming on the drier side and she guessed baby was a boy and she was right.

createjoy... Eeeee!!! ELEPHANT SOUNDS EVEN MORE SCARY!! I'm going to get a phobia. Must look at more to desensitise. haha.. Instead of cute baby pictures stick "elephants" up all over the house and wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year of the Elephant! That'll be talking point of the year =)
Mummy Ash, I agree with you. Went looking at bb stuff yest but didn't feel any enthusiasm to buy anything. I resolved to stay open to getting 2nd hand clothes since my colleagues say bbs grow out of early clothes so quickly and the clothes often remain good as new. This resolution is now heaps easier to keep since my little fella is a boy. Before that, I'd already seen and mentally filed away so many girl stuff to buy!
I'm starting to get in touch with sellers on the forum abt pre-owned bb's clothes. Got a link through which a lovely lady is selling me FOURTEEN rompers and a pair of shoes for a bundle price of a mere $18!! That's a great buy and bb won't care how he looks anyway. Both hubby and I are big, so not planning on getting (m)any 0-6months sizes.

Hello, PrincessZ!
stickymouse, you have a good baby (maybe not when bb grows bigger and starts to hurt u!).
I sat in absolutely stillness and silence on several occasions but all I heard was the loud sound of silence and all I felt was:
i. a bloated tummy
ii. squashed bladder
iii. a sore back =(
But now I think I'm starting to recognise the stirring inside every now and then. Yippee!
jam75, have heard contradicting versions of this myth and read the same in a book. For each person that says one thing, you can probably find someone who'd swear on the complete opposite version of it. My sis' is 2 months ahead of me with a girl, mine's a boy. We're both looking mighty good, if I dare say!! We've both received much compliments from our colleagues and friends.
May the dreaded expanded nose phenomenon never set in for any of us!

kikismom, sounds good to me! THANKS FOR OFFERING! I'll send you a pm with my contact k. I'm easy, not really fussy about things being brand new. As long as it's clean and nice design, it'll do!! Feel bad sometimes - like I'm treating bb sub-standard just cos he's not a girl. But i'll pamper him more with other things. =)
kikismom, hmm. im not very good cook. simple simple cooking only.
ohh. i rem last time in this thread got some mommies talk abt the american ginseng.
Jess, i have a few frenz giving birth in Mount A. all thier feedback is good. like thier services is quite good. for bill wise, so far hve not heard from them complaining for any hidden cost.

Shelisa, best to check in with your gynae's by calling the clinic...?
I've read that good nutrition and attention to specific increased dietary requirements are sufficient for mother and baby's well-being. Several books I've read actually discourage consumption of medicinal herbs and tonics. I guess this is especially so when in doubt.
My wonderful modern mum also agrees that healthFUL meals are good enough and safest for baby and breastfeeding mums. She does make bird's nest for us though, believing it'll give both mum and baby good skin. =) Thank God for loving mums!
Just in case not everyone knows, we are apparently to avoid Tang Kwei (however that's spelt)!

cassey,
its always gd to hear that someone out there is willing to give up their career to be the main caregiver of their kids if their finances permit. i know of too many mothers who would conveniently throw the baton to maids/ grands almost immediately after birth. oh well.
being a SHM is no joke. in fact its much more tiring than going to work outside, since childcare is a 24/7 job! unlike work, u have travelling time, lunch time and teatime to take a breather and gossip with coligs, ur bb certainly isnt gona allow that! even during naptimes they do sometimes get up and demand your attention. and unlike work where u face the computer/ clients most of the time, bbs are the most difficult to handle as they cant wait, cant tolerate and cant talk!!
also have to sacrifice personal time and couple time. in fact, you can forget about both. unless u have maid or ur kind mother can help out sometimes. so its actually v difficult not to turn into a huang lianpo overtime, cos after sometime at home no matter no hard u try to keep up, you just cannot be bothered to comb ur hair/ slap on moisturiser/ put handcream/ use perfume when u have a crying baby on hand and u will give anything in the world for him to shut up.
but of cos all these aside, growing up with ur child is a rewarding and beautiful experience. no one wld know ur child better than yourself, and ur child truly loves you with 100% conviction.
so relish the experience

Oh dear, jam75. Adding fuel to the fire!
Bulbous nose is horrid enough to contend with. Now there's monstrous butt too?!
Oh the things we brave ladies endure for the sake of love.
TO ANY SILENT READING HUBBIES:
If it has come to your attention that your beloved's posterior is gaining mass, kinda affirm that it's the most gorgeous irresistably adorable bum you've ever come across. A nice caress would be pleasant too. No smacking pls! Thank you

Shelisa, actally contrary to your dr being 'ang moh', all the ang mo foods say avoid raw foods (sashimi, sushi, raw yolks, etc.). BUT both my sister and my gynae said go ahead, as long as they're from reputable eating places. I never cut sashimi out from my diet. In fact, I had a sashimi buffet the very same day I tested positive and still have it every now and then.
Gynae said if in other countries, then avoid buying these things from roadside stalls or hawkers. Ditto with raw eye yolks. I LOVE THEM and have been enjoying them with my ban mian or ya kun toast. =) Again, our gynae's both affirmed that Sg eggs generally ok unless you've got your own chicken, I guess.

aiyo, please stop talking about sashimi. I am salivating liao la.
Naming babies ah... My in-laws will be doing all the dunno what calculation when BB arrives. But HB and I have already decided on a few chinese words that we like so will have to let them know then. As for BB's english names, we have been thinking for a while but haven't found one that we both like. Still got time... slowly think. There are a lot of websites with baby names. See until giddy.
