Me too. I have crammed the clothes into plastic bags & dumped them in the storeroom with other things like washing powder, breast pads, liquid detergent, then sterliser I think in the kitchen, goodness knows what else is kept where!
I think I better try to go Toyogo this weekend to get the plastic chest of drawers. And I need to clean & set up the room for cot, drawers, single bed etc etc.

cloudme,
all bb clothes i only using bb washing powder, but for my #2 she need to take over some of the old clothes from her kor kor. Those milk stain is so hard to remove, so i use adult washing powder.
Even by using adult washing powder i have to wash it at least two times, then the stain is lighter @.@

re: washing of bb clothes
remember that last wash should be with bb detergent as bb's skin is more sensitive.
I got some hand me downs from SIL which are milk stained and dun know what stain - washed them like 3 rounds - 1st round with bleach & normal detergent. after dry, stains still visible, so wash a 2nd round...think the stains are non removable. anyways since hand me down, not nice not to let bb use, so boh pian, wash a 3rd round with bb detergent.
sighs...i'm not comfy with bb wearing stained clothing - but with hand me downs, is there a nice way to reject them?
re: fisherprice sale
there's jumperoo and swings and bouncers -- anyone know the price they selling? i want to go down but still down with flu..and these few days cramping as well...sianz
mashy
u mentioned that you are already dilated ...anything else can be done to stop the dilation? since dilated, did the mucous plug drop out?

sterile cotton balls and cooled boiled water to clean the eyes..

heh thks cloudme for reminding me...finding that i'm gettting more and more forgetful.
ok smurfy,
at least got other alternatives. cotton balls is more messy & troublesome than wet wipes..so let's see how long can do it.

for low placenta, have to avoid standing/walking as much as possible.

check the archives for yesterday, think pris posted the link.

clothes from SIL, and MIL will be staying with us when bb is born - so a bit hard to avoid explanation why buy so many new clothes and ya da yada yada wasteful not to use SIL clothes.
*though i did hint to MIL that SIL clothes not clean enuff* she still say dun waste $$ to buy new clothes.
hee, I've been hiding all the new clothes from her
pink,
the diaper stacker at 1st few yrs is very exp..i'm hoping to get one at less than $20-$30. still considering mashy's idea of a trolley. trying to think of the pros and cons of having a moveable one - cos as likely or not, someone (esp hubby) is going to bump into it at night.

I was having facial yday and realise now my spa place also offer prenatal massage. They just got a qualified lady that can do prenatal massage. Im happy to hear that and might try to make an appointment tml to try it out.
I can use my package for either massage or facial,so pretty flexible.

why cannot assemble leh? we got ours assembled but wrap in plastic to prevent dust from accumulating.

erm the problem with asking friends to buy is that u never exactly get what u want - so prefer vouchers or cash gift instead so that can go out and get what I want.
re:confinement help
anyone here not hiring professional CL to do your confinement? what are the things to prepare in advance to make life easier during the confinement period?
