I said b4 that i'd like to try natural w/o epi rite ... but after last week's episode of gastric & contractions, I now remembered the labour pain and er ..... having 2nd thots now on not getting epi.

chintz
Hard to say leh ... dat time when i stayed in 4-bedded, it was always full lor. Someone will be discharged in the morning, den afternoon another patient comes in le.
 
Piggy, donkeymania
I think my IL will prob come every day maybe even camp here....sianz... My house going to be so cramp, CL, maid, ILs,
I can ask maid to cook for them but I scare they offended!
 
pegsfur, i see. i doubt so too leh, if TMC really does that, they're very 'generous' loh hehe

maybe my gynae just wanna make me happy hehe
 
Celine, I will be going back to my own place at Toh Guan just behind IMM. So Nan Hua is just like a 5 minutes drive from my place, if not ACS(Primary) at Barker Road will be like 30 minutes drive from my place. So at Nan Hua, if Kai goes by school bus, he will be the last the bus pick up and the 1st in the bus to alight.

I have capture quite a few of bb's photos but I do not have the interface wire to my camera to transfer, will have to endure another 27 more days before I moved back to my mum.

Anyway, dh is here, mil and bil do not show me face. Only worry is when he returned to Sydney earlier, so I rather stay at my mum though mum has her temper too but I can tell my own mum off so it is not as bad as here.
 
cloudme,
my co. also ban FB hence I can only log in at nite provided I can sneak away from my boy :p

weishy,
you also staying west? intested to get your kids into NanHua?

yesterday I watched news, wow parents now start to do parent volunteer when their kids 4 years old leh even for good neighbourhood schools. Very tough for us parent now isn't it!

pegsfur,
oh thats you! ahahaha...very funny leh.
 
<font color="0000ff">Chintz</font>, I wanted to opt for 2 bedder but my Ob &amp; Gynae told me to go for 4 bedders as TMC would upgrade me to 2 bedders free since dh would not stay with me this time. And true enough, they gave me 2 bedders but I was charge for 4 bedders so they upgrade me free.

<font color="0000ff">Pink</font>, Just a big pot will do, you can add more hot water after pouring into a pail.
 
pris,
your boy getting in NH which year? My boy will start P1 in 2012. We will be shifting to West Coast end of this year also because want to be nearer to NH within walking distance so my boys dun have to travel so much.

Next time we can meet up very often especially our #2 same year

<font color="0000ff">Celine</font>, Parent Volunteer work has to be completed 6 months before registration of the child and must clock at least 40 hours. Dh and I have offered more than 40 hours of service as we felt that it is important for us to be involved in ds's school.
 
cloudme,
I would strong recommend Best Home (Bukit Timah). Thou I am staying at Punggol now but I purposely travel there to select my maid. Their service and charge is good in my opinion. My current maid (started since early Mar this year) is good too.
 
pris, congrats on getting a place at the school of choice for Kai! Now one load off your mind
happy.gif


celine, if we wanna do PV, next year we gotta start already which means this year have to register our interest to do PV!! Stress ah, really feel very sian to think about it.

pink, I used those big pot which is meant for soups. But hor, after my CL left, my pot was all brownish... anyway I kept the pot so will use it again this round then discard.
 
<font color="0000ff">Celine</font>, My boy should start P1 next year but he will be on Leave of Absence for 2 years till we are back when he is in P3. And I dun have to worry about #2 school or if I have #3 girl coz Nan Hua is co-ed.
 
<font color="0000ff">Mich</font>, PV also stressful during application coz needed to go through interview and also proposal of what we can offered to the school.

<font color="0000ff">kikilala</font>, I can only tt money to you after my confinement.
 
pris, yes indeed. Nowadays PV ain't the same as last time. Its very specialised. My friend is doing a video editing project as PV and another one teaching social studies! What did u do for PV?

pink, yes the CL will normally cook for ur hb. But don't think can ask her to cook for ur ILs as well lah... ask ur hb to tell ur ILs that its the normal CL practise. If she spends all her time making meals, where got time to care for bb?
 
mich,
are you going to do PV? for which school? My fren also very stress now thou her daughter only 3 years old.

pris,
ya I like NH being co-ed and single session. But I dunno whether I will have #3 being girl to get in or not haha..
 
jules
since colostrum will regenerate then i will pump for 10 mins or what after zachary is full bah. to stimulate and let my breasts thinks that zachary needs more haha. else i worry no milk sia... or just bring the breast pump there for the sake of it incase need it.

what clean container do you use? aiyo, maybe i need to go and buy a big lock n lock le. i think lock n lock is the best airtight container there is?

sharon
I am also thinking of buying a personal fit breast shield. the shield that comes along with it is like slightly small when I compare it with the pictures given in the manual. but still deciding. I wonder if local sells that? cos if buy from spree, need to wait like 1 month. if buy early, what if no need? then waste money.
 
pris,
being curious, what did you do for PV?

yes I heard NH PV very difficult to get into...the principle will interview the parent and see whether their calible is relevant to what they want.
 
Pinkmama, since u got maid i thk u ask CL cook dinner then let maid do the cleaning lor..then u tell CL tat her cooking skill is good so to see if she mind to cook for IL &amp; ur hubby since she will b eating wif them as well.

If she chin chye &amp; do good job over the mth then u can give her big angpao when she leave

celine, I am still contemplating whether I wanna do PV cos I can send my girls to my old school but I think my old school like abit far like that. Very poor thing have to get on school bus at 6am! I live in AMK area, not much choice leh... only St Nics (sure cannot get in one ha ha), Anderson, or mb Marymount Convent. On the other end, there is Ai Tong, Kuo Chua Pres... I am wondering to myself if there is any point doing PV, cos places are not guaranteed even if do PV.
 
PInk,
i tink they wun be offended la cos u din told them the CL cookin for them in the first place.. maybe u can hint them by askin if they havin dinner at ur place if tt the case gotta get the maid to buy more food they shd get it bah..
i din get extras big pot cos only goin to use for tt mth after tt no use no place to store also so jus boil a few more time lor...
 
wah, you all talking abt PV already...nowadays having kids really not easy eh!

btw, can we eat fruits during confinment? if nt later will constipate right? any fruits that are not allowed?
 
Pris, so good cos when u &amp; Kai back alr got a good school for him liao. no nit to worry when u cuming back to spore.

Dun thk too much now, jz rest well during ur confinement. when ur hubby return to Aus then u jz move back to ur mum's hs.
 
<font color="0000ff">Mic</font>, I was doing enrichment maths woksheets for the whole level using the new syllabus following exams format for them. And will be handling another new project once my confinement is over.
 
cherrios ha ha... no lah, we are talking about doing PV for kids who are 3-4 yrs old now...

as for fruits, last time my CL told me can only eat apple and pear which I am not fond of
sad.gif
 
yesteday news reported even neighbourhood primary schools also nit to ballot for PV. if i'm not wrong the one i aiming for my gal also like tat...Pricess Elizabeth at Bt Batok
sad.gif
but i consider stay within 1km from the school..
 
mich,
I was in your position... if I stay in Punggol I dun like the schools nearby. Thou there are afew good ones further away but I got to do PV and that also doesn't guarantee any slot. Thats why I prefer to shift back to West near my old school - Nan Hua.
 
celine, i think it is a good move for u to move back to the west. If u send ur kids to your alumni, save you alot of headache!

pris, wow, that is alot of stuff you are doing as a PV.
 
thks ladies for all the inputs on CL

Really hope I won't get post natal depression with all the extra pp in my house. I am always used to my own space &amp; quiet
 
mich,
you sounds exactly like my buddy! ahaha...
You from NanYang isit? I asked her to shift back to her old school she said she got no $$ :p
 
<font color="0000ff">celine</font>, I was told Nan Hua are very selective about PV parents, so they assure me if I would deliver wat I promise, I will get a place for my boy.

<font color="0000ff">Mich</font>, no choice, if I want a good school for my boy.

<font color="0000ff">pink</font>, if in the position I am in, I do not get post natal blue, you will not. just have to think positive.
 
cherrios, my CL say those fat bottom kind... she never mention to me about china pear. I forgot to ask about bananas leh... but think some bananas are liang so probably cannot.

donkey, I also dun want my kids to travel too far. I used to live in Whampoa and my primary school was in town!! The school bus picks me when the sky was black... sian
 
mich,
ya I am being save from alot of stress and headaches now. But sometimes I think my hubby not stress enuf....he seems so nonchalent about our boys being able to get into my old school.

I should let him experience balloting or do PV then he know it is stressful to get a seat into a good school.
 
pinkMaMa,
no...milk will not touch the tubes one...so dun need sterilise
happy.gif


celine,
while walking by...i only saw one...some of the doors were closed so i dunno if they r 4 bedders or 2 bedders...mebby u can call them to confirm?

chintz,
yup...they juz completed the renovation...when my frend delivered in mar, not all wards were renovated then

pris,
wow...PV is not easy rite? i heard even if u wan volunteer, u might not get it cos they sch may not require ur services?

reira,
i also got the same prob...but i dunno wat size to buy lei...buy fr spree, wait too long....buy here, so ex...cos my frend told me the original breast shield in the package will warp after we sterilise
 
celine, no lah, not Nanyang, but its an all girls school at Stevens Road not too far away from Nanyang actually so the property there sama sama expensive! Yah if do PV, get ur hb to do! I told my hb he wants to volunteer, he can go ahead kekeke
 
Wah ... so fast talk abt schools liao .... My only concern now is whether i have enuf milk for my bb ... :p

pink,
My mum has a BIG pot which she uses to boil the herbs for me last time. We are a big family and she always cooks alot whenever there is some kind of celebration .... so we always have big stuff around
happy.gif
 
re: water retention
anyone encountering it? tink my case is v bad...both feet r swollen...n my hands r v stiff in the mornings
 


<font color="0000ff">sharon</font>, that's why have to go through 3 rounds of interviews and also they looked at your propsals.

<font color="0000ff">pink</font>, keep telling yourself to be positive for your own sanity and also for bb' sake.

<font color="0000ff">Mich</font>, your school very close to ACS(Primary) haahaa, SCGS?
