<font color="aa00aa">sunnyling!!, I am soooooo glad to know that VE is not that PAINFUL. your reply really makes my day..hehee..
Shugar, no worries, baby Sam will be in good hands for sure! I hope he can go home asap to be with daddy and mummy...
rooster & moo, thanks for your info!
PY, good news!!!
Vin, go for Epi, at least you know what is going on.. the airway thingy (used for GA) is quite painful after removing. it will be inserted to prevent your tongue falling backwards if you choose GA.</font>

Congrats to the mummies that have delivered.
Hadn't really been posting. My energy levels just hit rock bottom. Tired. Now i'm so undecided, whether to start my ML atthe start of 38 weeks or 39 weeks. In a delimma cos if i take earlier, means i need to rejoin earlier.
One question for experienced mummies, did you choose a PD beforehand, or you let the default PD from the hospital examine your baby?

hello all ,
thks for welcoming bb keith
hippo,
tink he look like me now. their face will keep changing until aro 1yr. My #1 used to look like me when just borned but now everyone say he look like my hus.
I am Breastfeeding him during day time and only pumped out once a day in the morning. ya CL will feed him formula/EBM at nite as i dun bf in nitetime. Keith will only have the most 1 fm in a day or none at all. Currently my supply just enuff for his demand.I wanted him to get used to both bm and fm and as well as nipple and teat. Initially he do have nipple confusion as he doesn't know hw to suck fm teats but after a few tries, he is fine now on both method. I wouldn't want to insist on TBF so that hus can bond with the bb or other members can help out sometimes if i am busy etc.

thanks for advice girls..
I also checked with a colleague who gave birth in KKH late last yr. she went thru c-sect with epi. and she was mentioning that in KKH, there is no choice of c-sect with GA. C-sect is always with epi in KK, cos of some medical benifit - which she wasn't sure of...
If i have to go for c-sect, then will opt for epi I guess...

precious moment,
my gynae did not prescribe me with the milk booster. Probably i shld ask fm him so i could store more EBM in future.My current supply just enuff at the moment but may not keep up to the demand if bb increases the feed.
thks for your info!
Vin,
mine is c section with spinal. Not very sure if it is same as epidural.
PY,
Wow your timing so "zun". After exam can sit and wait for D day. Good luck for your exam!
Diana,
Yap agreed with u on the KKH's expertise and that's y i am chosing them as i am afraid of unforseen circumstances and the bills. Pte hospital is gd if there are no complications etc.

mylvera,
seriously, i wish everyone will come and take away all the stuff she made. you guys are more than welcome. i'm gonna ask my HB to bring at least 1/4 of the cheesecake to office.
she made 2 batches of pineapple tarts, 1 batch of sugar/butter cookies, and yesterday OREO CHEESECAKE???!!!
wah lau. seriously man. i need to tie my mum up. especially since she's borderline diabetes case. not very funny at all leh.
but mum like buay gam guan right now at this point in time bb not out yet, and thus both maid #1 & #2 like very ENG (free) cos they are lights out in their room by 9pm latest. so she asked them to bake lor! WAH LAU EH!!!

hippo>> my gynae commented "that's a chubby baby you've got there!" she is still considered average weight, but on the high end of average.. i feel 2.9kg a bit high leh, and i tink next tuesday go see my gynae, at night i might just be admitted to be induced already.. if her weight exceeds 3.5kg, i will just opt for c-sect.. dowan to take the risk..
actually i've been a rather notti GD patient, i really cannot resist anymore.. last weekend i went taka and vivo and went for a small round of mooncake tasting.. heavenly.. wahahahaha... and drank a whole can of coke!
cheesecake! i want!!! now all that goes into my mind are very sinful food - cakes, ice kachang, chendol, chocolate, soft drinks..

4 me, i alrdy decided on which PD to take b4 i delivered my #1 then. During the last few wks of my gynae visit, she will oso give me a list of PDs to give me an idea whom i can chose fr. I guess if u hv no preference, they will decide 4 u? juz assign a random PD bah...
Ong
Congrats! Baby Keith looks really chubby & healthy!
happy hippo
now tt u mentioned, does it mean i might b at risk for GD coz my baby gained abt 1kg within 3 wks. but gynae din mention anything abt carrying out the test though.

myl: i think my baby dropping lower and lower.. that's y the swelling went down. and i can eat better and can be more active.. except that its a little heavier at the bottom when i walk.. one thing i did before was that i drank a lot of water so i had to pee all the time.. and it worked a little.. swelling went down a little when i do that..
mascot: same here.. energy rock bottom..also feeling moody. dunno why. ha..
hey.. for PD i have a preferred PD but she no longer does hospital visits.. so i am going to let my gynae's 'good fren' PD to just check on Yu He first in the hospital.. and then the first visit.. bring to my PD liao.. she's really good. Dr Dorothy Ong at Bukit Timah plaza.. cute and sincere.. patient and the best part for me.. coz i ask many many questions.. she is very patient to explain in detail to me even when it ight be crowded.. and she is not very exp for a PD.. she's not ATAS.. my other thread mummies.. almost half are her 'fans'.. hahaha.
Gal: got ur pm.. thanks a lot
Mie: hey.. the notti boy wants his father to bao bao him.. once u give in nia.. he demands to be carried all the time! his father always get trapped coz sometimes he not feeling well/tired.. so will carry.. then he will form this habit and demand to be carried when he's bright and alert also! Miser cannot understand how come he gets manipulated by the boy unknowingly all the time.. hahaha. so he decided to stand firm.. and let him cry!
shortly after u walked away. Teng resigned to his fate.. and realised today papa not in the mood to carry him.. and then come over to me (he knows i wun carry him one.. coz too heavy. andnot in this state!) ..'mama, hold hands'.. and quietly sob.. Whahahahahahah! i vry mean hor?
i concur with u.. i find his whining/crying expression very cute also. that downturned frown!.. so i just let him cry. my skin very thick one.. pple can stare at me.. i will just smile at them..
i think it is because i let him 'cry it out' TWICE when he was very young :S.. more than three hours each for almost a day. to rid him of all the wrong dependencies.. so this 'small' fuss (he can really bellow and scream to get his way wor) to me is peanuts liao.. haiz.
dun want to repeat all the dependencies issues with yuhe anymore! so traumatic!
hippo: i was thinking of modifying the name to Reymus!! so that i wun have pple who can mispronounce it further.. as in 're' in 'repeat'.. and 'moose' for mus.. --> re-moose. wah liew!
Tien: yeap.. i am aware of amos as a-mers.. but i just cannot 'intuitively' pronounce it properly.. u know the semester is over.. and i stil have trouble pronouncing the following name with confidence --> Gerrald. i keep wanting to pronounce it as Ger-rut!!!.. chinese/indian/malay names i ok. just english names. gosh. last time moe teaching also like that. jialat lah me..

last time when i see wailing kids cry or demand to have their ways, and the parents give in, i will have that 'how can they spoil their kids this way', now i hope i will not become part of this group of parents (and i have a strong feeling i might)
kudos to you leh!

<font color="aa00aa"> blinkblink girl, thanks. I've seen a nursery worst than what you've describe, things belong to the late great grandmother but refuse to discard. *sigh* Guitar? We have 2 at home and we don't know how to store them so we bought guitar hanger and hang them on the wall. save area and look nice also</font>
mie: heh. it is not my way of letting him understand.. and i dun believe it letting the kid cry non-stop and fuss non-stop either.. but i also believe.. the parents hold the rein.. and the child must learn to behave properly.. and not expect us to cater to his whims and fancies. .. so there u go.. my justification for letting him cry that day

astro: yeah. parents must let the children know who's the boss. my niece and nephews also misbehave at times.. but they know who's in charge. and most of the time they stop whining or misbehaving almost immediately..
kids being kids tend to get carried away very easily.. so if we can instill in them the 'hierarchy' at the very early stage.. they should be quite easy to take in hand..

I go there daily so I also helped to fold them nicely..then come back, left in the rooms for daysssss and finally one fine day, i took all out and put them nicely in the chest drawers.
