happy.gif


Great great, can't wait to see it.
 


Regg,
ya dun stop fish oil it impt for baby brain... n i dun tink it all this multivit tt make out baby big.. also fish oil i heard help in milk flow also...
 
regg

u need the iron at least leh. Coz u'll lose blood when u deliver. I had my iron test recently and i failed. So now have to take diligently.
sad.gif
 
Piggytoh, you are right. Have to continue with the fish oil, calcium and multi-vits when bfing. Coz all these will go to your bm and benefit the baby.

1st time mummies, pls go and enjoy your freedom now hor. Once your baby is out, very difficult to find your own time.
 
mashy, heh i already eating every 3 hrly cos i cant eat v much each time cos v bloated.
happy.gif


piggytoh, i agree with u.. last time i also ate normally.. didnt put on wt but bb gained wt. this time bb not gaining wt despite my wt gain cos the nutrients just not getting thru to him because the bld flow no gd. and the thing is there is NOTHING i can do! even eating more wont really help also
sad.gif


irene, ur boy cosleeping with u in ur room now? my girl was co-sleeping with us all the while - her cot is joined to our bed. last night just shifted her to my MIL's room to sleep on the floor and she didnt sleep well at all. but no choice leh.. cant possibly let #1 and 2 sleep in the same room at the beginning cos #2 will def wake #1 with the crying..
 
Irene, I wish I can take your advice. My boss initially told me that the last tri will be very tiring for me so will try to arrange less work for me. Who knows, when I'm in my last tri, there's a proj with tight deadline. Having more stress now man.. Damn sianz of working here...
 
Jules,
ya i tink most impt u mus relax also forcin urself to eat is not goin to help.. tok to urbaby see ur nex checkup wat ur gynae say..
 
piggy, irene, mashy,
hm.. actually 2 mths back i already take both only alternate day leh, i find my gynae 'over feed' me with all the vit but i dint stop for BP, iron n calcium..oh ya..my gum bleed very very badly now! can bleed till almost 1 tissue full of blood!
ok i take fish oil again.. back to alternate day ba hehe
happy.gif


hm..10am, waiting for my new maid to come
 
Jules, yes...my no.1's cot is joined to our bed now. And he has to sleep with me next to him. Need to get daddy to start sleeping with him soon liao so that next time I can settle no.2 while daddy settles no.1.

I was thinking easier to let no.2 sleep elsewhere since no.1 has a habit already. Yah, if put both together hor, think all no need to sleep liao!
 
Regg,
huh over feed?? i dun tink so wor cos fish oil is v impt esp in 3rd trim... for me my gynae onlygave me the essential 1 like calcium, FO n iron.. like wat the gals say iron n calcium is v impt imagine ur boy need to develope his bone also leh..
 
piggytoh, thanks for the reassuring words
happy.gif
keeping fingers crossed till next checkup! but a bit hard to rest at home cos still got an active #1 running ard and wanting my attn!!

irene, haha our sleep dilemmas are the same! my girl also same.. must sleep glued to my side. and my hb cant settle her at all cos he doesnt take care of her much, just plays with her. if he tries to pat her back to sleep, and 'soothe' her with his voice, she will end up waking up and becoming more upset cos she realised it's actually him and not me! headache ah..
 
Jules,
i tink sometime the stress of takin care of #1 may contribute also so try to relax if possible i know not easy but u gotta try lor..
 
Jules, hahaha...yes, my boy will look for me the moment he open his eyes. If I am not around, he will call for me and start crying.
But sometimes when I am out for dinner with friends, he is ok with daddy sleeping with him.
Same...daddy seldom look after my boy.

That's why I don't want to move my boy out of the room now and traumatise his sleeping pattern.

irene

if u wanna let daddy sleep with #1, better start now. I've started long ago and now my boy only wants his daddy to sleep with him....

Jules
it just takes time. I'm the main caregiver, and my hb has to work too. But my boy is sticky to him like glue. If he's home, my boy will say 'mommy go sleep in the other room'.

piggy
hehe, i've been skipping my calcium.
 
gathering - hey i'm on for lunch!! esp if it's 1 for 1!!
happy.gif
ok for any weekday!

piggytoh, ya lor.. gotta try to rest more. most impt is ensure that ILs understand i am resting.. not slacking away from my responsibilities as a mum!!

irene, i also agree lor.. didnt want to traumatise my girl but no choice - either shift girl to my IL's room, or put #2 in the living room where he will disrupt everyone's sleep.. after all i'm sure my ILs wld rather look after my girl than a newborn baby who will cry the WHOLE night :p and i dun have CL also leh.. and not keen for maid to sleep with bb/my girl.
 
Irene: i titally agree with u
happy.gif
esp time with ur hubby or ur own personal time......when bb's out..........will hv time but need the help of others and takes awhile for u to really go out socialising......
happy.gif
 
jules/irene

perhaps u should start delegating more stuff to daddy since #2 is coming. When my hb's home, i totally wash my hands off. He'll feed him, bathe with him, play with him, change him to his pjs etc. A bit sad sometimes when my boy rejects me, but at least i know it'll be easier on me when #2 comes.
 
morning mummy..

i'm so sorry that i wasn't able to attend the dinner ytd..

my hubby's colleague suspected of H1N1 den onli send to CDC yesterday mrning thus afraid that I MIGHT pass the virus (if i kanna) so my hubby ask me to go home immediately!!!
sad.gif
luckily that guy is ok...

sad that i miss the outin..
 
Mashy, I already told daddy my plan liao. But this daddy tells me he still need to travel so I am very afraid when he travels, it will break the momentum.
I think I need to get daddy to develop the good habit of bathing earlier so he can go to bed with my boy clean clean.

Its my boy who always says 'don't want daddy' at night.
 
mashy, sad to say, my girl doesnt like her father v much.. maybe cos he's always working and comes back v v late. and when he does spend time with her, its to disturb her and play with her as a toy, not play WITH her.

supplements - oops i'm the laziest.. i dun take any supplements at all..
 
mashy, my hb v hands off kind lor.. does not bathe/change diapers/feed milk at all. the only time he helped was when bb was abt 1-2 mths old.. and only when i beg him to. sigh.. so envious of those mummies who have supportive hbs..

irene/jules

actually it's a good habit to bathe the moment your hb comes home. It's to wash off all the virus that he picked up along the way home too. I find that my family gets sick less often after we adopted the 'bathe and wash up after coming home' policy.

If travel then can't be helped, but have to let your boy know that if daddy's home, daddy's in charge of him. My boy also didn't want daddy at night last time. I used to be the one sleeping with him until i lost part of my hearing with all the lack of sleep. Then daddy took over. Now it's daddy this and daddy that.

A suggestion:
maybe can draft a schedule for them? My hb drew up a sch recently on what to do each night. So the two of them will look at the timetable daily and see what to do next. Oh, my hb also reads to my boy before he sleeps. It helps with the bonding too.
 
Hi Morning Mummies...

how's everyone??

Ref to the gathering last evening, it was a gd get-together n chatting session w the mummies.. let's do something similar again the next few wks!!!
 
Mashy:me akready pre warn my hubby cos helper will be on leave for a month in sept......he has to do everything for hayley :p
 
Mashy, yes...both my boy and me will bathe when we gets home. Its the dirty daddy who doesn't!!! And I have been trying to get him to change his habit for many years already!!!
 
jules

maybe u should assign him a responsibility then. Sometimes they're hands-off coz we don't allow them to do it. When they do it, we are too fussy and kept saying cannot do this, must do that. If u close 1 eye, let him do things the way he want to, then it'll be better.

All along i've expected my hb to help out. There's no such thing as sit there and idle or do his own things. hehe.

Perhaps for a start, get him to bathe with your #1? I think it's a great bonding opportunity. My boy loves bathing with his daddy. They'll do silly things like blow bubbles, bathe the rubber duckies and stuff.
 
weishy, morning~
happy.gif


piggy, i say my gynae over feed me with the vit cos i am taking :
BPx3 a day
vit B
iron
fish oil
multi vit
calcium
so many
sad.gif
hb said he see the way i take med like eating mantos
 
irene

then get him to bathe your boy. Then he won't have a choice. :p After all, it's better as your son gets older for him to bathe with daddy than mummy.

mashy, my hb has only bathed my girl 3 times. and after each session, my girl gets a phobia of bath time that takes abt 2-3 wks to overcome!! faint..anyway a bit hard cos my hb goes to work at 7plus in the morning and comes home only at 11pm.. by which time my girl has long gone to sleep..

as for changing diapers etc.. he got sprayed on the face with my girl's projectile shit when she was abt 1 mth old.. after that he never wanted to change the diapers again :p

hoping that i can get him to be more hands on with #2 this time ard.. since its a boy ma! no excuse!
 
Irene:can ask hubby and boy to bathe together????we do it all the time and take turns
happy.gif


MOrning REGG!!!!!
happy.gif
how's my boobies opps booties kakakakkaka :p
 
weishy,
ur booties done.see when u n me free then can pass u.
piggy, BP= blood pressure lor.. i got abit high bllod, so taking 3 times med a day
 
jules

so jia lut, have phobia? wow, his working hrs are so long. Maybe he should consider changing his job. job is not everything. When he's gone, they can always replace him. Daddy/hb can never be replaced.

A forum mummy who's gal is born same time as my #1, sadly became a widow late last yr. Her hb just dropped dead suddenly due to advanced liver cancer. His family is devastated by it. In life, we need to see what's important. Is the job really that important? That's what i always tell my hb. Money is 'shen wai wu'. Job is secondary. He should always place family first.

BTW, my hb also got sprayed by my boy's poo & pee before. He even had to use his fingers to dig out his poo from the ass. Oh c'mon, just becoz of 1 memorable experience, u can't stop doing it right? It's just like when you're working and u got 'sprayed with shit' by the boss, u still continue working. U don't surrender.
 
Jules:wah ur girl also very "li hai" le kekekkekek so far my hubby no complains with doing all those.....sometimes he washes teh bottles etc for my helper if we do come back late.....
happy.gif
think if we dun help she may hv to sleep at 11 ++++ loooooo better she rest more than falls sick etc ma

happy.gif
 
Regg:i also take the pills same like urs le.....

MAshy:think havign boys higher chance of spraying le hehehhehehhe.must get myself prepared this time.
