heyo..i just returned from polishing all my accessories...didn't realise that there were that many pieces i've not worn. hmm..now wondering if this baby will have a shock of hair or peach fuzz...my gynae did mention that hair can be spotted on her scalp already...didn't enter my brain to ask her "how much hair"...sigh..so imagining things now..
famela >> not crazy lah..just homely
saw your packed drawer...u win in folding clothes!! mine's not even half decent..so i cheat and hang everything..hehehe..
ddnikz >> I am mummy C plus Mummy A for the eye area
ong >> yeah!!! home improvement works too! guess there's a real kick in doing this...better than food sometimes for me. i think i won't plan on having my child taking care of me. mine and my hb's parents are taking care of themselves though we do provide support (informal), company (gg out for meals, interaction)..but actual 100% support and i take it to mean financial..nah. i'll leave that for insurance and savings etc. but she'd better be my travelling kaki!
bbseed >> once the cleaning bug hits you...you'd have the energy
i am bad at ironing though..so better don't try..either i end up burning myself or burning the clothes...or just making the iron really redundant from some stuck streaks, whatever..
jRRt >> so this is nesting? hehe, i wonder why i didn't "feel" this way when i was getting married...maybe someone should isolate this hormone..then all the baby bonuses etc will have magical pluses and turn normally corporate types into homely, wifey types..! i think you're right..i am sure i'll miss her being in me...
mrsL >> how envious i am that u'd a long deep sleep!! i can't get that at all *frustrated*..... think positive...read somewhere that with each contraction, just tell yourself, it's one less from what u need to bear..almost there...but i am also nervous lah!

Hi ladies,
Just came back from the Taka Baby Fair and I'm exhausted!! Really cant walk for long these days, my feet were screaming for me to sit down.
Famela >> Tks, will check out your blog later.
Can PM me your email addy? I'll invite you to my blog as it's opened to invited readers only.
Ong >> I'm not courageous to hv 3. I hv my deliberations too but since preggie already, just gotta accept it. But I must say I still hv my worries at times but oh well, at this stage, I dont want to think about those already. Just awaiting eagerly to see my baby. The rest, will deal with it when the time comes.
I also hv a gf who is an only child. Like your friend, I can see it's tough on her to take care of aged parents alone. Esp when both parents are not in good health, it's really not easy. She needs to take leave when her parents are unwell and I think it leaves her little time to socialise. Till now, she's still single.
Annette >> Aiyo, me too leh, even raising my legs to wear pants is tough now! But general cleaning, still can lah. No choice, I still got 2 young ones at home, so I need to ensure the house is clean and the basic chores are done. Thankfully, I still hv a weekend helper to help me, otherwise, dont think I can manage that much chores.
ddnikz >> I hv been using normal wash cloth for my elder kids when they were babies. More economical, I guess. Cottons are used to wipe their faces.
bbseed >> I will drink coconut once a week, starting abt 1 to 1.5 mths before delivery.

Thank you all for helping me with the bathing queries Now I roughly know what I want liao.
I have been going to John Little and Robinson since last week. Both have 20% off but for some items, there isn't any discount. Perhaps to add on, OG also having 20% sales. For those who hasn't gotten enough from Robinson and John Little, can pop by OG to take a look. Their baby section quite a big range too!

xoxo: i think i probably sleep too much in the day that end up cannot sleep at night or the other way round...can't sleep at night and end up sleeping in the day..haha..anyway, i m officially off from work starting today! of course, i still check my email when i can as i manage a team at work. i have to learn to let go and not think too much about work now.
Envy some of you can still go shopping. guess i m one of those who might pop early. hence, afraid to go too far and by myself. i was thinking of going to suntec or taka or robinson to treat myself to a nice lunch today and then do some last minute shopping for bb...but once i got to downstair, i changed my mind and went to a nearby food court to eat. haiz. maybe i try again tml >_<

xoxo,
i wont depend on my children to take care of me nx time cos nowsaday, many of them dun even earn enuff to support their lifestyle, materials needs. My main objective is to add a companion to my son. Else u can imagine hw helpless he is if both of us r gone.
btw, i ask my gynae if my bb have any hair and he comment tat he can't see it at all as the m/c is unclear???? so curious when u gals mentioned can see hair etc. R your gynae using 3D m/c?
bluesea,
i have seen few cases rpted on paper that the only child(mostly woman) was taking care of the aging/sick parents and therefore stil single due to no time for social outings etc. So sad to read news like tat.

Angie: thxthx.had fixed an appt with the physio my gynae recommend this sat, see how it goes. Ya im in teaching line also.
Shugar: thxthx
Joyce/Shugar: so we have to start takign coconut juice now?can take with ice?take till delivery or?
Bluesea: wa now im like so painful till i dun even wan to walk to canteen to buy food lor haha
All mummies: LEAVE application, nots ure if any of u share the same way my sch policy works which i just found out from my HR. I am given 30days MC or 60 HL a yr(Note tt 30 days mc is part of these 60 days) & tt 16 wks maternity leave(ML)(8wks fr own organisation,2 wks fr govt) BUT on top we have this clause of a MAX CAP OF MC+ HL+ ML OF 86 DAYS ANNUALLY.
Eg if i deliver on 20oct, means MLct 12 days+nov 30days+dec31days=73days then i aldy took 7days mc for this yr thus 73+7=80 days means im only left with 86-80=6days of HL . So now even my gynae wan give me HL from now till 20oct,i can only take 6days HL the left over till 20oct i need kick in my ML earlier

bbseed: I am not sure abt other wet markets, but my side here can find those cut one. For me, I dun prefer cut one coz sometimes it's not very fresh. True enough, to save the hassle, drink at hawker centre better. For me, I hardly eat at hawker centre so can only get from wet market. Cheaper also as 1 only cost me $1-$1.30.
Saw many mummies at Robinsons Raffles City today. Any1 of u there?

about young coconut juice/water:
beyond the older generation's beliefs, I was speaking to a nutritionist for a press activity we're doing on Singapore's hawker centres and I happened to ask abt the above and what's up with it and pregnancy (esp abt drinking coconut juice in late pregnancy).
I was quite happy to learn that drinking young coconut juice (cholesterol and fat-free) can help to alleviate quite a few conditions that women experience in late pregnancy. Coconut juice can:
1) kill intestinal worms and parasites naturally ~ they takeaway nutrients from your developing baby;
2) help with itching skin and boils, outbreaks and rashes (it is working for me now..i used the pulp for a boil behind my ear and it kinda resolved in a matter of hrs);
3) help the body to maintain a stable blood pressure (it has the ability to function as a blood plasma substitute), aids our kidney function and detoxify the liver (all the McDonald's ~ guilt-free!)
4) help control diabetes;
5) help with giving the body energy in preparation for childbirth;
6) help with difficult bowel movements
i've taken abt them whenever i spot them and when i fancy it at restaurants or hawker centres..no prbs, think i did go beyond the one per week. helps to cool my over-heated system (from all the sleepless nights) fast.

vera: hope u get better soon... must be feeling very frustrated with all that aches and pain. U have just a leeeetle bit more to go and baby will be here.
seems like all mummies are clearing and cleaning fanatically now. LOL... that's our nesting instinct, i guess.. I have washed and packed all my baby's clothes & nappies too. And I just finished washing the pushchair fabric (everything that can be washed isn't spared....) and the soft toys. i feel so much more prepared now that the washing's done.
Now i just need to clear out some space for the steriliser, bottle warmer, breastpump equipment etc etc.
joyce: if u r thinking of having #4, i wish u all the best. I have a fren who has 4 kids. She has absolutely no time for herself... even with extra helpers. Good luck...

gal >> abt sleep..i am dreaming of sleeping like a baby...original plan was to gain sufficient rest during this period. end up, getting more and more tired. now really wondering how i'm gonna cope with the sleep deprivation post-delivery?
thanks for the reference though

Annette: I take the coconut about once a week and w/o ice.
xoxolight: for so much cleaning/packing you're doing, surprised you're still being an owl! Maybe I shd say you're like energizer bunny??
re bb hair: oooh shall ask gynae to check for us at our next visit!
Maybe heading out to robinsons in the afternoon. Yay!!
any other moms going there today too?

Good morning mummies!
My insomnia is back..
have yet to go to sleep for the whole night!
Xoxo/Famela,
I'm reading "My Baby" now and there's an article about "Mom's nesting instincts"! Apparently it's the build up of birth
so babes, you are normal!
I was cleaning up my son and my bedroom yesterday. When it's done, I started on the toilet. Went down on all 4's to scrub the tiles. But still find my works unsatisfactory. In the end, I gave my hubby a mission to get a miracle solution that is stronger then Mr. Muscle!

Sharing an article which talked about "The ABC's of Birth". This might explain why some mummies are feeling the way they do.
THE BUILT UP
Lightening effect -About two to three weeks before labour, your baby's head will start to descend into the pelvis and you'll feel a lightening of your chest
Braxton Hicks contractions - feels like a tightening or cramping in the abdomen area and may feel uncomfortable or mildly painful.
Nesting instinct - an urge to clean up the house during the final stage of pregnancy.
Excitement - Your moods are likely to alternate between excitement, restlessness and frustration when nothing is happening.
Weight loss - you may have a minor weight loss of about 1kg-1.5kg in the last week or so before birth.

THE REAL THING
Labour begins when there are the following signs:
1) Bowel movements - you may have diarrhoea or feel a need to visit the toilet more frequently
2) Slight bleeding - you may experience a pinkish vaginal discharge or even blood. Consul your doctor if there is heavy bleeding.
3) Waters breaking - the amniotic sac or membranes surrounding the baby has broken and the amniotic fluid (usually a clear liquid) will leak out. An induced labour is needed within 24 hours as the uterus is now susceptible to infection.
4) Regular Contractions - different fromm Braxton Hicks. Contractions, the actual contractions will not go away and will grow increasingly intense, longer and more frequent and eventually settle into a regular pattern.
