kikilala, at my gym you can go for another one hr free play. Since they never record, you can bring ur boy there as n when you are free.
Elnino, Congrats! BTW, I delivered my girl at age 37 without doing tests since doc said blood test ok. But this one if can make it, I'll opt for any tests no matter how good is the blood test result.
V Scan
First few weeks must V-scan cos cant see the embryo especially if it's at location difficult to see. Also must drink lots of water before the scan.

Food Strike
Any of your kids starting to refuse food?
Sam's starting to refuse food. Tried to feed him porridge & he didn't want to eat. Turned his head away a few times & pursed his lips tightly when the spoon goes near his mouth. I still can sort of get him to eat by letting him watch TV or gettign Hubs to help by playing with & distracting him, but it's getting to be a pain.
I wonder if he's starting to want more solid food like soft rice & adult food. Coz he's been eating soft rice for the past week for dinner at MIL's. According to MIL, he still whacks his porridge at lunchtime. But.. she can't really be trusted bcoz she seems very unhappy whenever I ask her abt Sam's sleeping/pooing/eating times.. what he ate.. when he ate.. like I'm trying to interrogate her. Maybe I need to work on the 'presentation' skills when I ask her? or maybe I shd ask Hubs to ask her instead.. hmm..

jul: yeah maybe he wants to move on already? Shayna isnt too interested when we offer her porridge once in a while too. will eat but can see she totally disinterested.
and i got same prob as u.. my mum takes care of shayna. Sometimes i wanna ask about what she did but yet i dont wanna ask too much less my mummy find me a nuisance.. haha..

Ive also not let Nat took MMR cos heard of what kiki mentioned and also not the right timing (she is always sick whenever we are free to bring her for the vaccine)
Anyway what is this vaccine for ? Is it necessary ?
Nat will be 18mth end Jan, so I think i will let her take her final dose of her duno 5in1 or 6in1 vaccine and check with the GP then if its ok to take the MMR ( either with or without chix pox )
Nowadays when we bring Nat to see doc, she start to cry the moment she see the doc with the mask..she knew something is not right liao..dun even let them touch her lor..will scream loud...kinda funnie..
The last dose of vaccine sure very torturing for her...

Yeah lor. I need to know Sam's sleeping hrs, poo-ing hrs & eating habits coz I need to decide whether to rush home to put him to bed.. whether I need to prpare for him to poo if he hasn't poo-ed all day.. to adjust my cooking to suit his enw habits mah. I take care of him on weekens leh. I don't want to have inconsistency in routine.
Aiyah I feel more & more fed up the more I think abt it. I shall delegate the asking to Hubs.
dolcevita
I also have this prob now. I planned to take Sam for MMR next week, then after CNY, the 18mth booster. But now I have something on at work on the same day! Dunno whether to bring him for MMR or 18 mths boosetr first *sigh*
Oh Sam has been crying whenever he goes to the PD since 4 or 5 mths old! Very sian to struggle with him coz he'll start bawling like kena tortured.. Cry & cry non-stop.. keep wanting to go out.. I can't even have a conversation with the PD

Jul, Ethan has been refusing food for the longest time, he simply wants to eat just plain rice. MIL also stressed, make stock to cook his porrdige and he recently have been rejecting, have to make fried rice, so we give him 1 solid meal either lunch or dinner, he doesnt finishes he meals. eating is also depending on mood. but we give him 4-5milk feeds since he's not taking his meals regularly. that explain his weight have been maintaining for 6 months since he turned 1.
my MIL will tell me what Ethan eats and how many times he poop. i dun want to be overly concerned otherwise probing too much will cause bad vibes. toddler adapt well to schedule, when they know its weekend, they will follow whatever schedule since there will be different activities as compared with caretakers during the weekend.
spotting
i had spotting yesterday, not sure if its due to the v-scan, then i had also a clot after i pee, afterthat i stop carrying Ethan, rush home, showered and bed rest till this morning, still have some brown stains but still came to work anyhow.

No, mmr is not compulsory. Measles vacc is. So u can opt to take the 3 vaccines separately.
Jul: same here.. Esp need to know if got poo poo so i wouldnt be caught off guard! Haha.
Yeah since ur mil values ur husband alot, let him ask.
Talk abt vaccinations, i better go get my chicken pox vaccine soon. Office got some cases and i'm tired of living in fear everytime someone gets it and if i will kena or not. Sian man.

It's good that you're at work actually. Coz at home, Ethan will want you to carry him or your ILs might arrow you to do things right? At least at work, you can just sit? But then, it's still better to have bed rest.
You don't want to go to your gynae? They can give you the duphaston tablets to take & jab you with the hormones too. And they can give you MC for bed rest also.
Ethan likes adult food now? Why not give him adult food then? Do you think it could be a vicious cycle - as in he gets full on milk, so no need to eat solids?
Hmm.. I'd prefer to keep to the same routine lor. I think you've read from my posts that Sam is not the easiest of kids to manage. If he gets a little leeway in his routine, he starts to go haywire & we really suffer.
babys
Yeah lor, I shall tell Hubs to do all the asking next time.
Oh I kena chkn pox twice! Talk abt suay

jul,
I oso prefer ovann to have a routine. It does not have to be 100% the same everyday, since for kids ah .. really hard to say de. But i try to keep it the same lor.
vaccinations
Wld be going to dr ong's on 19th for ovann's last dose of prevenar which i stupidly missed. Taken 1st dose MMR last mth, so wld only be going for the next dose next mth.
kiddos running around
Do your tots behave and walk next to you outside? If they run away and u call back to them, wld they come back to u? Ovann NEVER listen when i call him. He wld turn around to look at me and run further away again.

Hi ladies!
Haven't been here for quite some time. Have you all sent your kids for playgroup already? Ethan has started his playgroup since last Wed. Today is the 1st day without me sitting in with him but my mum was in there with him. However he cries badly today. Worse than last week. I'm not sure if it's due to the weekend that he din go to school or he just wants me to be there. Now I'm in a dilemma whether to withdraw him or just let him cry till he's used to it.

My boy will run further and then turn around and look at me again. IF there's no danger around, I'll hide one corner and see his respond.
He will run back to look for me. haha!

PJPJ, why u dun need it anymore? gng to stop at 1 ah? I dun mind to get some for you since mine gng to finish soon. I pay u back la.
PJPJ
Haha.. nope, not me lor. I aws said that it'd be better for Sam to flip, crawl or walk later so it's less taxing on me. But God didn't answer my prayers but chose to bless me with a super active boy who crawled at 6 mths, stood at 8 mths, then walked at 10.5 mths! Hiaz!

How's Jovia coping with the GUG classes?

Ceiling Fan with Light / Wall-mounted Lamps
Anyone using this? Got any recommendation on brands/models? Or any comments on the pros & cons?
I wanna change & take away Sam's standing fan & the floor lamp in his room. They're just way too dangerous! I shd have done it a yr ago, but I just procrastinating

El-nino, how's ur spotting? better get a chk from ur gynae if still there. take gd care!
PJPJ, when is your EDD?
Donkeymami, getting better but i'm feeling weaker this time. start feeling gastric and discomfort. you should start to take FA if you are planning for no.2, jiayou, i saw sometime ago you are taking ovulation strips? your menses irregular? try taking some multivit.
my gynae asked me to see her tomorrow if my spotting doesnt go away. she will prescibe oral hormones to protect the embryo.
pjpj, i also take folic until my final trimester. i also forget when to start taking fish oil, 2nd trimester?

Er .. i thot lesser blades has more wind leh .. and plastic blades not as good as those steel/metal type? That's wat my dad said when we reno our house.
And forget those which has a chain from the fan which is used for changing speed. Absolutely wind-less even if u turn it to the highest speed.
