hi tubbymummy, thanks for the info. I'll check it out at Ikea then. Ya, my friends who has baby also advise me to watch out for the following when choosing a baby cot.
1. mummy do not have to bend too low when placing baby in cot as this may lead to back problems.
2. mummy should be able to operate the cot gate (i.e. one side that drops down) with 1 hand so that other hand can carry baby instead of putting baby somewhere, open the gate then carry & put baby into cot.
other mummies may want to take note as well. =)

sweethalo, I was also quite relieved when I came home didn't need to read thru 1-2 pages of archives haha. There were some cupboards and chest of drawers on discount, but sorry I didn't note the price. For those shelves, drawers, cupboards, discount price is generally cheaper by $50 and upwards. It's in the regular furniture section, not the kid's furniture kind. Is that what you're looking for?
At first I was also planning to buy some storage, but last night hubby insisted that we don't need, say we still have a lot of built in cupboard space that's not used at all, he'll get someone to come in and convert that to shelves and drawers. I gave him ultimatum to do that in one month. Otherwise he sure drag and drag, end up no drawers.
Xuan, thanks for the tips. At first I wanted to go for cheap and good, cos I don't want my kid to sleep in cot for too long, will upgrade to toddler/single bed at some point. But silly me forgot about the back problem part. Sigh, so now trying to crack my head to remember where I saw that bed that I could handle easily with one hand, the side dropped very smoothly too, no need to jerk around...

sweethalo & Tubbym~, you're both right, not much to catch up on. Quiet quiet day... Everyone's off for the weekend.
sweethalo, you mean the GJ strawberry chilled you until now?! *gasp in horror* I hope you make a FULL recovery soon.
Tubbym~, thanks for your words! They're comforting. Especially after my weigh-in at obgyn's clinic today.
SIGH *sad* The moment of truth. I've gained back the last of my pre-preg weight and broken even. Bing, for you, that's all 3.5kg back since going into 2nd tri =( Now I'll have to keep close tabs on the scales to ration out 5 or so kgs over the next 3+ months. Thk God tho, that bb's growing well.
Who was it who was worried abt her "short-legged" bb..? My boy's femur length (thigh bone) was a mere 24cm at week 19. By week 22, it was 35cm. By today, it's 45cm! No WONDER the kicks are getting stronger..
It's confirmed, I think - my boy really adores tim sum! Twice in a week now I've had tim sum and he starts wriggling mid-way thru the meal and is kicking energetically by the time the meal has ended and for more than an hour after. Haha...

Really quiet huh today? I'm bored. Been surfing net aimlessly. Hubby has fallen sound asleep, so early.
Before he slept, I felt the baby kick, so I asked him to put his hand on my tummy to see if he could feel. I then felt a small kick, but he said he didn't feel anything. After about 1min, his patience ran out, cos completely no action, and he was too sleepy. Sigh. Think he'll only be excited when he can feel a proper full force kick. Wonder when.

nozomi, I ordered the Medela Swing. It's a single pump, I figured I won't need a super duper double pump like the working mums, so just got a single one for the occasional use. Are u getting one?
Tummy itching n rashes is it because of skin stretching?

tummymummy & firstmum,
hmm..am thinking of Ameda or Medela dual electric pumps.. am unable to get much feedbacks on Ameda as not many pple own it..(it's cheaper than Medela). If decided on Medela, will prob get it from US.
Re: tummy itch
yeah..prob due to tummy stretching + gynae mentioned also due to hormones..

FirstMum, the Medela Swing is electric. Supposedly better than their previous generation electric one, cos got what 2-phase technology. Got Medela cos seems like got most feedback on it. Ordered from States, incl shipping should cost $200+, still waiting to be advised on shipping charges (in retail $336). bbPotato organised a spree for Medela, so I ordered
nozomi, not much feedback on Ameda, so I didn't dare to get. If u decide to get Medela, can consider ordering the Freestyle from US, cos it's the latest one, and SO much cheaper when order from US... Have u been applying ur stretchmark cream? Even if can't help with the stretch, at least hopefully can help ease the discomfort?

tubbym/nozomi,
i read in the forum that medela PIS is better than Freestyle. duno how true. for me, i dont think i'll use medela again this time round. feedback of ameda has been quite positive, and at a fraction of the price, i guess its worth a try.
wow shelisa, go neighbours at 2.30am???? ur neighbour quite gd hor.

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
nozomi, then u're probably blessed with good genes if u didn't get any stretchmarks from the last time. Hope I won't have too many as well... Guess nothing much u can do except to continue moisturising, and don't scratch. Hope it gets better, or if not, at least don't get worse....
Shelisa, I take my hat off to u! Can go neighbour house borrow computer at 2am+!! Haha... confirm addicted liao! Glad that u're feeling better now.
FirstMum, I think Ameda is worth a try, cos like u said, it's not expensive, and even though there's little feedback on Ameda, they still seem to be positive. Why don't u go to the Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group to check it out? They have Ameda demo pumps (and also other brands) that u can try out. Details here:
http://www.breastfeeding.org.sg/demo-pumps.html
lovelytulips, not disturbing me lah, no worries, but I didn't pay attention to the adult bed and mattresses, so I can't tell u whether got sale items or not, sorry sorry...

l'tulips, *GASP!* I don't know... My obgyn said wk 25 should be 450-500 so my boy's doing fine. Hmm... maybe it's 495? Your obgyn's diction not very good?! Whoa... or maybe your EDD will be brought fwd to deliver at wk 37 or something.. heehee... Don't worry la. Just check with obgyn again next visit?
I've heard that Ameda is the more affordable production by Medela. If talking their upper-end electric dual pumps, Medela apparently has better reviews... But I think when it comes to the other pumps, I've read that Ameda is the quieter of the two. I've gotten a Medela Electric... but kinda wished I'd gotten an Ameda instead. But sis tells me I made a good choice. hmmmm.. *puzzled frown*
nozomi, good! Hiao'ness is good! Haha... just rub rub cream on it to soothe the itch lor. Maybe refrigerated fresh aloe vera will help soothe it and keep it moisturised at the same time. Then bb shiver shiver inside. =) On a more serious note, I'm remembering you in prayer for a safe pregnancy. *hug*
