Mashy, what you doing for your bb's 1st mth?
Princess, my hubby decided long time ago to make all our wealthy friends donate to charity under Yoda's name, that's why I did not register for any gift for Yoda, and for the full month, I initially dun want to celebrate but last night, there is a thought that come into my mind that I want Yoda to have the blessings from my relatives cos I did not have when I marry my hubby since I made my wedding v v small.
Elijah'smummy, you have such sweet parents!! I think I will do full month and not the 100days or 4th months since I wil have help from nanny, plus I think I may shed lotsa hair since I have not now.. Thank you and Mashy for the info on looking more tired after full month..
Coolkero, faint spell due to low sugar? I realized I started to like sweet drinks with my meal woh.. last time my girlfriend told me to avoid sugar during last tris cos bb will grw too big and becomes difficult to deliver..
Sherryl, I was thinking of having the celebration in Straits Rooms in Fullerton, but I wonder if it's abit too much for full month celebration???
MIL... When I had my episode, my MIL came to stay with me for about 3weeks, and I think it's really better idea to have them not staying under the same roof.. She insisted she will help me with confinement, but told me she doesn't know where to buy the ingredients for making confinement food or even Asian dinners. When I took her to the wet market, her eyes, nose, mouth all squeezed together cos she thinks the sight is disgusting (so I can forget about the fish and green papaya soup lor)... I sound her out on the night feed which I may need help with, her facial expression changed immediately.. I am here trying to save money for my hubby since I only earned 40% of what I used to after preg, she wont even wash her water glass, and everything is to be done with dish washer.. and on the day the cleaning lady come to clean the souse, she decided that "it's not nice to have her wash the dishes" while all these while I have been picking up the washing after her!!!
And because my SIL is a medical doc, everything is "ask Erin" (my SIL's name)..
After all said, I still love her (she is like my own mom, I love and get angry with her). I called her last night and we chatted for almost 1hr..
And she won't visit until Yoda is more than a month, so she'll miss the full month celebration (sad..)
My hubby is the last "man" standing in his family line.. I guess that's why he love to have a son, so the pressure is off..

Hi mashy,
I agree with you, cos i feel that my PILs are also very "Zhong nan qing nu" and during my wedding, they engaged an MC, kept talking abt having a grandson, grandson.. never once mentioned about granddaughter.. sigh.. but I am having a baby gal this time.. Surprisingly, am not very stressed up at all, cos my PILs seems to be very excited over a grandchild despite is a daughter.. so I dun feel that hostile towards them. Infact my husband and myself do not plan to have another kid to try to see if we got a boy..
Sigh.. But having a boy and a gal is really a "perfect" family for me... Anyways, see how 1st.
Btw, pprincess, the website u gave, the cakes looks too beautiful to eat it! I like it, will definitely try it one day!

Lamagier,
Actually it's all right for u to attend the funeral and rituals. Cse me too went through the same things one and half month back. My MIL dare not disapprove or anything, cse I was crying uncontrollably. She only asked me to take care of myself during the long journey back to Malaysia.
During the funeral, the monk and my family members asked me to wear a long red string tied around my waist with a pair of chopstick and ginger tied together with the string- to prevent any bad luck throughout the whole 3 days ritual. Then try not to stand so much or kneel down when u doing the prayer to prevent water retention. I'm always sitting down on a chair..
You take care k..

probably just a buffet for relatives & close friends. Our last count on relatives (already discounted many who won't come) is 80 pp!!!! So many. sigh. we've big families. So maybe we'll need to cater for 100 pp and buy cake vouchers for my hb's colleagues & church friends.

hahah i wish that my MIL was like yours!!! mine is super money minded loh!!
heheh my hubby is also only son,.... but in PIL family there is only 1 gal and 1 boy leh... hubby is the elder...
Lamagier
its alright to attend coz my granny passed on in dec'07 and i was preggy with my boy too... MIL kept super quiet about it coz i think if she had made any noise i think i would have probably have told her to shut up... heheh never answered her back before but there is always a 1st rite...
that time the elders and all made me keep a set of house keys on me at all times. but for all the prayers and stuff i could only sit out and watch... hehe that time so good was definately treated like a queen! imagine the grand uncle serving me drinks and food!

Hi elijah'smummy,
haha, I'll probably be busy keeping an eye on younger cousins, folding joss paper or serving drinks and peanuts (if my husband lets me). My maternal family very large and also a lot of family friends etc, so I guess a lot of need to chip in help here help there.

Hi Kimberly,
Hmm,how much does it cost to hold the full mth celebration in the straits ballroom at Fullerton?
I am now thinking of the venue.For cakes wise,roughly know what I want,just the venue which is disturbing me.
Wonder where else is a gd place for the full mth celebration then?

Princess, My SIL says the pain may be due to stretching of our bone to accommodate baby's growth, but still better to ask your doc..
HBB, I think you want to bring your bb back to your Grandparents in Law, they'll love it, you cannot imagine the happiness when you see the happy faces from the older folks, it's priceless!
Cecilia, Lamagier,
Sorry to hear you loss, please take care.. I briefly heard about the red string thing, but still interesting to learn about this practice. I only know (before preg), my mom always say to keep a leaf inside pocket whenever visiting wake, then discard it after leaving.. Even at my G'ma wake I did that..
Are you talking to your unborn bb yet? I also spell to Yoda, so far, there are breakfast, dinner, bread, apple, snack, charawet (my cat)... I am so frighten that he'll have poor spelling skills like his daddy..

princess,
I have sharp pain too above belly button yesterday midnight and just now when I was having lunch. Just awhile only, my mum said is like that ger, then when i ask y previously dun have, she said everyday is different it shows your baby is growing....dunno true or not?
I want to check how many time you all go toilet 'bake cake' in a day. I need to go at least twice a day only can clear all recently. Previously was having constipation, 4 days only 'bake cake' once.

Hi Loshita,
Wow, 4 days bake once is really bad constipation.. But I think you should consult a doc if you are clearing more than twice a day. It all depends on how does the stool texture etc.. u know what i mean..
Seriously, my aunt goes bake cake twice a day and doc says she pretty healthy! So it depends..

Hi HBB,
You ok relations with your in laws? I told them after my first trimester. Cos I don't want them to feel offended that we never tell them and in case they feel we don't respect them. Don't want to cause any bad feelings.
Hi loshita,
I go almost very day. Coffee first thing (eh, though I know Mrs Wong says best is a cup of warm water best thing in the morning) in the morning does the trick for me. I need my coffee else teh day just will be crappy

Wow so many stories about your PILs.. Thank God, I don't hv to worry abt that, MIL was a nice lady but she passed on.
Yesterday, I went to Baby Hyperstore and Baby Kingdom, gosh..the service at Baby Kingdom sucks. Won't be going back again. Was looking at the prams and considering to get a Quinny only Baby Hyperstore carries them but the sales was a PRC so she couldn't really explain well. When I went to Baby Kingdom, they only carry Combi and McClaren. My husband was telling the sales staff (guy) what we were looking for and he showed him one Combi model but was a really small pram and it didn't looked stable. The guy said it can be used up to 2 yrs only. I made a comment that it was too small and what happens after 2yo, I have to buy another pram, guess what the sales guy said. He said, oh that depends on how u train your child lor...if you train him well, then no need to sit pram liao.
As he made that comment, I turned away then other sales staff (2 aunties there) said, "they only looking for branded ones - Quinny lah.."
Geez, this is BAD bad service ...

loshita,
Was that yr normal pattern before preggy? If it is, then shouldn't worri 2 much. As long as it's still normal stools, should be fine. Unless, like damn hard type, then maybe u wanna dink some stool softener when u constipate for > 1 day as a prevention.
I was sent to A & E 1 month ago cse I was bleeding quite badly after baking 'cake'. But turn out everything alright.

Mine typically once a day. Just that I take iron supplements, so moving my bowels not as smooth as before & stool black black one =p
Hi koko,
Yah, that's pretty bad service. Behaving like their goods nothing wrong, problem is picky customer, like customer has no rights to choose...
hi Sheryl,
Take care. Hope you're not getting flu bug or anything... Yah, I wish it will be time to go home soon. Want to go over to my grandma's wake. My whole family there except me. Actually want to go at half day, mum told me after work...

no...cause i was only looking at prams. Baby Kingdom is quite small nothing much except for lots of Combi stuff if you are looking for that.
Baby Hyperstore sells madela, Pigeon baby clothes & toiletries on the level 2, playmats, etc.
I think u can get most of the stuff from Cheng Soon...the shop at Chinatown..which is selling at a cheaper price.

Lamagier: Ya...I don't think as sales staff comments like these are helpful to customers, it just piss us off. That's why I just walked away without even answering him.
Loshita: That's quite a lot of difference. Baby Hyperstore had Qunny Buzz, Speedi and Zapp.
Anyone been to Baby Avenue at Balestier?

koko, I had almost similar experience like u at kingdom, the 2 aunties just stand there and no help at all, but my hubby dun like combi he thinks it;s too short for him (he is 1.9m) and look too lady for Yoda.. The helpful girl at BB Hybermart is now in Taka.
But I must say, I like the all wheels 360degree turn and the cooling seat for our weather.
My travel system is not trendy looking but v sturdy.. Inglesina ($838, comes with car seat carrier and diaper bag and I think also a foot warmer, which I will need when we go USA this X'mas), I would have bought the Peg-Perego but I needed the bb car seat carrier and had to pay $1300 for all items.
Koko & Twinkle, try to get stroller with push handle that connects (like combi) as it;s easier to maneuver with one hand (if needed). This is experience of our friend who owns a stroller that has 2 separated handles. My Inglesina is also twin handles, cos only the "Otutto" is loop handle, it'll cost me double of what I paid although there is an additional pram base that I can interchange with the stroller seat (but still not of use for me)..
My friend also asked me to check out the rain cover when buying the stroller, but I forgot.. so do ask the sales person k?
Happy shopping!
But I must say, I like the all wheels 360degree turn and the cooling seat for our weather.
My travel system is not trendy looking but v sturdy.. Inglesina ($838, comes with car seat carrier and diaper bag and I think also a foot warmer, which I will need when we go USA this X'mas), I would have bought the Peg-Perego but I needed the bb car seat carrier and had to pay $1300 for all items.

koko, i yet buy a single thing so wanna to get info & shop around.
Re:Stroller.. looks like Koko already got the info..
Twinkle, if you are not tired, you can collect stroller brochures from the hypermart then slowly shortlist what you need. I have lists of things friends passed me either thru sms or email..
But most importantly you should buy according to your need.. I think this forum is great avenue to hear from the experienced moms and decide on what suits you.

Kimberly: Tks! I wonder if its Baby Avenue?? I am looking at a old Quinny catalog 06' and they didn't hv Inglesina.
I have a Maxi Cosi infant car seat that's why I thought of buying a travel system. What's the weight of Inglesina when it collapse?
Twinkle: I didn't buy anything yet too Cause I don't want them to collect dust..LOL!!

Cause I don't want them to collect dust..LOL!!I think I did see 1 Quinny Buzz at OG (People's Park) last Saturday. They were having the 20% off for regular items storewide.
I had dropped in on Cheong Choon before that (next door building anyways). 1 thing about Cheong Choon is that the shop isn't very big, and large items like stroller, cots etc, seems to be browsed mostly thru the catalogue infront of the counter. Probaby easier if you just give them a call and ask if they have stock for a Quinny and the price and just book an order for it.
Woot! happy! My MIL just ordered the two of us not to buy a stroller because it was to be my SIL's gift to her niece...hehe, can take it off my list now, just gotta say which one we want.

I also visited the Tai-sing showroom, and the saleslady did really impress my HB because she explained and demo-ed the Combis very well. Though some combis (the <$400 models) have been used by some parents to be a little wobby, I got to say the easy operation of the Miracle Turn kinda got to me, since I like to go on holidays at least once a year, and it would pain me if the stroller weight a ton.
So far travel systems have a weight issue for me. Not entirely sure if it is the whole concept of a travel system that is loading on the weight of the stroller. But the idea of travel systems was very attractive.

Sheryl, I think there is a charge for renting the room and separate charge for food from the hotel, I am not sure if there is change and I have not call to check..
Koko & Twinkle, if you have yet to buy anything, it;s no harm to make a list of what you want so in case you got too tired to buy at the end of the preg, your hubby can help to pick them up. Can also wait for the next baby fair (Motherhood baby fair), 4-7June at Singapore Expo. Heard it's bigger and better..
I am collating all the bb tiems so I can decide on the furniture, still nothing done in bb's room..
