happy.gif
Weeeeee!!! (She still say will post BIG BIG in PINK when she leaving house LOL)

You all are making me nervous leh XD Popping one after the other!!
 
just saw Shelled sms too! im so excited for her, she was praying for a weekend baby. Go Keegan boy! wishing her a quick and painless delivery!
 
was still on msn with her abt an hr + ago.. and she mentioned she monitoring first then go hospital. finally she's on her way there...

K is going to share the same birthdate as his daddy...

Jia you K! Jia you Shelled!! we are rooting for u here
 
milkyway,
yah, the seat is only for infant. maybe about 1.5 years old have to upgrade to a toddler front facing seat. sale is only at suntec, till 20 aug

side effects from epidural,
i took 3 doses in all, because entire labour process took 17+ hours. puked a lot after i delivered (although i didnt have morning sickness at all throughout #1's pregnancy). also had a splitting headache that lasted one night (even though i've never had splitting headaches before). but side effects for me didnt last very long. cos next day went back to normal, could get down to the bed to go to toilet and bathe on my own. could also start eating and drinking normally.

michelle,
the bread box is just nice for 1 avent manual pump + 4 avent bottles. which pump are you using? you must try to estimate if your pump + breastmilk containers can fit in nicely, else can't close the lid. yes, it's microwavable though i never microwaved it before. cos to me hot water over the equipment = sterilize already. i don't bother to steam/microwave or add sterilizing tablet. you're taking driving lessons too? yeah, then me and you and flower can encourage each other!

michelle,
my mum lives at bukit batok, block 202. what about you? weekends i am usually at her place cos she misses my boy. maybe next time after we have delivered, can meet up at west mall/IMM for tea!

bibs,
someone was asking if we need to get bibs?? yes!!! i think bibs came in very useful for me in the teething period, cos my boy kept salivating, then a bit troublesome to change everytime his tops got wet.

milkyway,
hope you had a good first night at your new house!

princess,
you know what, i called HDB last week, and they estimate that my keys will come in may/jun 2010. means by the time i move in, my baby would be close to 1 years old already!

whitey,
for me, i bought two pumps. one for office and one for home. so that everyday just need to transport breastmilk containers, don't have to transport the pump around.

shelled,
wow, keegan really will share his daddy's b-day. so sweet ...
 
Lock & lock containers

hey mummies
I bought mine at cold storage a few days ago. If u spend $15 min, u can get a buy a set of 3 lock & lock containers at abt 50% off the RRP. My set of 3 cost abt $16+. But only the biggest container is big enuf for my ameda pump parts + 2 bottles + handsfree pumping shields. Bought at cold storage china sq ctrl

girly
Ya. true true... Thats good. more people the merrier. See i can bear 4 anot. if not 3 also can. plus myself can have 1 mahjong table le. Heheh...
 
Sorry to rant here but think i will go crazy if i keep it to myself.

Very emo just now. Empress mentioned about the maid employment thing again, like who's going to the market, cook, teach the maid etc. She was the one who wanted to get a transfer maid (with experience). Then ask how much are we going to contribute (she say we are a family of 3, not fair if she have to share half of the maid and expenditure). Then contribute to maid le think she will still ask for monthly contribution (i give her $300/mth, hub $250/mth for rent. She use to say the rent is for washing his clothes and HER DAUGHTER for SLEEPING with him when we haven got married. hHAahaHAa. He still give $250 after we get married. She always niam we never do this n that, then i say we do le also same, coz she will only niam when we never do. Also say we treat her like maid. Think we every month give $ very liao bu qi ah? I know elderly tend to nag but she just don't understand what we are facing.) Anyway, she asked a relative of ours to keep a look-out for transfer maid, then i ask her to call (for the past few weeks) the relative first then when we know how much maid will cost us before we can do the "actually" planning. No maid plan for what. Then she go on and on before she made the call today. Plus she go on saying about what my hub(then bf) mentioned during a big fight we had when he flared up. Then i had to say her back, the things she said were even nastier that day, do i have to remember for life? Only remember the negative stuff we do or say, i say she only make herself xin ku and other ppl's life difficult. She has been repeating those sentences whenever she not happy, saying we will not be grateful to her if she help us take care of bb. Some times the food she cook i only eat a bit, like last night. Later got maid cook i also don't eat. She say til like i don't appreciate what she cook. I was like HUH? I am like that during this time mah, not because i choosy or what.. I hungry i eat, i don't starve myself, i eat small meals. I never eat or eat a little doesn't mean i don't appreciate. I was already in tears as i talk to her.

My only concern is housework and bb during n after my maternity leave. Empress not even sure if she going to continue to teach next year. She keep harping on that my hub can sleep earlier n wake up earlier help go market, cook before he goes work in the morning.

This few weeks also ask me go check out hdb flats. Get one. I where got the $? My hub not PR yet meaning he don't have the cpf. Maid already a problem now still want me get a flat. But empress did mentioned about helping out in duno what that concerned $. Wasn't in the mood to listen.

Then i went back to room. I already upset still come in meddle with the video cam wire, say our dog will sleep on it etc. Explained my dog will not sleep on the video cam n wires le, told her not to pull the wire liao. Thinking it was the video cam's plug, she say "never use switch off mah", and went to switch it off. There goes my laptop. I just screamed and cried. I was the one who taught her to switch off electrical appliance switch when not in use, and she think i would waste electricity like that. Then i beg her to leave the room..

Super stressed out with work, $ and other stuffs le. She still want to nag about the past, not helping can? I know she is a bit upset that we 2(my sis n i) can't be as good as other kids who are grads, earn lots of $, bringing their parents out to dine @ nice places and pay for their holiday trips, marry rich guy etc. She got nothing to boast a lot about us to her friends or even relatives. That we are still depending on her for help. I really try to give her what i can. If i have the money, i would employ a maid to help her and even buy a house just for her. (She say raising us cost her duno how many condos)

<font color="ff0099"><font size="+1">Hi everybardee!!</font></font>
Logging in via HP on my mobile broadband. Hurhur.
biggrin.gif
I admitted @ almost 4pm. Only 1cm dilated (haiz) with waterbag bursted. Heng i never come in earlier or else lie here even longer...

Contractions are now ard 2-3mins apart, abt 35sec long (i just checked with nurse). Very very strong, and makes my back hurt. Have been arching my back during each contraction to ease the ache. I think i look like i'm having sex! Cos 1 of the nurse walk past &amp; gave me funny look.
lol.gif


Most jialat is when i need to cough! OMFGBBQWTF lah. Feel like my vagina and lower belly going to explode!! I hope i won't cough when its time to push lor. Otherwise, how huh? Really cough the baby out huh??

I'm starting to get hungry, but they obviously won't let me eat. So i 偷吃 a few sticks of the Glico Pretz i brought.

I have until 9pm for my cervix to jiayou jiayou. Gynae will be visiting me ard then to check on my dilation. If all goes well, i have a feeling i may be able to push K out before midnight, then can share bday with daddy! Wish me luck, speedy dilation to 10cm, as well as quick &amp; pain-free delivery!

Sorry, I know I very greedy to ask for so much from u all. But... U all don't mind, right??
biggrin.gif
 
sandwich,

can i ask u something regarding epidural, as u mentioned u took 3 doses in all. the costs goes by 'doses' is it? or is it unlimited (hmm..think unlikely ya?). also...is there a limitation to the no. of doses that hospitals/docs will allow juz in case patient ODed? :p is the amt self controlled? meaning, u feel alot of pain, you juz press the button then you'd get more epidural to ease the pain?
 
Shelled
Jia You! Jia You! OMG I'm so gan chiong for you... hope your cervix will zheng qi and quickly dilate till 10cm.

Gina
This "Empress" you talking about is your own mother? Why like dat? I'm sure she's just nagging right? If u really can't afford the maid, better to explain to her lor, dun over stretch yourself. Need to keep some money for rainy days. Cool down and dun upset bb wor. If all else fails then just come here and complain lor, will feel much better
happy.gif
 
gina,

Empress is your MIL or own mum? i think i'd get upset if mine is like that too. but sometimes we can't choose our parents lor. juz have to pray for more understanding. have u tried talking to her and letting her know your difficulties? maybe she doesn't really know that you and hb dun earn alot? the older generation sometimes like to hang together and 8-gua, then they will have tendancy to compare...and then complain.
 
<font color="ff0099"><font size="+1">I am now 3-4cm dilated!!</font></font>
Just rcv VE. Gynae will come visit me @ 10pm. Nurse say unless i suddenly dilate very fast, K won't be born in time to be daddy's bday present. But chin chai lah, come out naturally, painlessly &amp; quickly can liao! Then tonight I rendezvous with Jul for late night supper. Hurhur.

Thanks, itsy! Mai ganchiong until u induce ur own labor k?
biggrin.gif
 
The beauty of technology....shelled, you still can surf web :p

Some pple do dilate very fast by 2cm each time...still have time.
 
sarah> wah. u wan so many kids ah? think i 2 oredi buay tahan liaos.

gina> think all these family probs, we can't really help u solve. but now tat u r going to pop soon, try not to stress urself with all these. best way is to turn a death ear to everything that is happening.

n ya, if u think u finances cannot afford a maid now, pls keep to ur stand. cos with the amt of money u have to give ur parents, den maid will be another prob. not juz deir pay. deir food, living expenses here, etc.

shelled> ok. we'll pray for ur wish to come true. keke. do remember to update us again =p

but seriously i very pei fu u wor. if i were u i would have been screaming in pain liaos. still can login here n post =x

Ya.. its so hot n just dun understand why my MIL just likes to use the charcoal stove to cook in the house lo.. its not like our normal cooking stove whereby once u turn off the fire it cools.. charcoal takes i duno how many hours lo. i get pek chek when i need to go out to get something n the whole house is so hot. sianz...

The whole of this yr i only saw him once and exhanged only a couple of sentences nia.. and its not purposely stay to meet him hor.. he just happened to come home very early that day and i had no where to run. hurhur...

we left not much weeks to indulge lioa mah.. so indulge while you able too...

i been suffering heartburn for long, today i jus felt better....
 
Gina
Sorry that most of us can only be a listening ear and can offer you some advice only. But do feel free to pour out your grievances as and when, to make you feel better.

I feel worried for you, at this stage you should not be undergoing this much stress. Monetary issues really can cause alot of stress. Like others said, if you find it a stretch to hire &amp; pay most of the maid costs, then keep your stand and explain to her you simply can't afford it at this juncture.

If you discuss with your hubby maybe to wait til your precious one is born, see how you can cope with baby even after your hubby returns to work? Who knows you can cope and don't need a maid, that way you can prevent from spending unnecessarily. Just my 2cents worth.

Meantime, try to distract yourself with feel-good things like imagining your happiness to meet your baby, and other things that can cheer you up ok? Take care gal, your well-being is of utmost importance! Only you can ensure that you take care of yourself and keep stress and blood pressure at bay!!
 
Flower
Yes, we have to indulge while we can. After delivery no cold drinks all... don't even think of eating ice cream for a month.

Glad you feel better, enjoy your indulgence tonight. NO Heartburn ok!
 
flower
yes yes gelare is nice... that's my substitute for A&amp;W waffles lor... just hope they bring A&amp;W back soon!

enjoy ur waffles!
 

10.15pm .. wonder how shelled is doing. hopefully dilate to abt 7cm, then got chance liao to be his daddy's bday pressie.
