Rue,
Actually is better not to work till deliver so can have sometime to prepare things and rest as when baby comes no time to rest. I quit my job and last day of work was actually 2 weeks away from my EDD but who knows I got "blooody show" 3 days before my last day and still went to work that day. Then the next day I pop so everything was happening so fast that I got no time to prepare or rest before labour.
Re: GST for overseas purchase
Do note that calculation for GST is affected by the shipping charge too. So if u r buying bulky items is best to limit ur purchase less than USD200. Just to let u know that vpost and comgateway has different calculations for GST.

For thermometers, my friend advice me to get ear thermometer for baby. Based on her experience after using all types, she find that ear thermometer is by far the best - accurate and easy to use for babies. She recommended Braun but that is very expensive. Am still looking for cheaper ear thermometers. Think the Omron brand like not bad.
actually ear thermometer the temperature taken is already higher. means not very accurate.. cos it depends on how u put the thermometer in etc.. forehead thermometer is better for baby.. for my kids now i use the normal one to put under their armpits cos they're older le so easier. but if use the normal one on baby.. think will take forever to get the temperature taken. lolx..

Hi morn all
stroller
I have a peg perego passed down from bro in law.it's really gd for newborns n I thought it was the most comfy pram ard.
But as yr bb gets older,u'll find it a chore even to just load n unload into yr car boot.my hb used to compliment the pram alot(I must say the pram is really gd in all ways except the weight).everytime we go out,my hb will try to "Siam" bringing the pram out cos it's really heavy n bulky.
We have another maclaren quest n is very happy to use it now as my gal is older.lightweight,easy to manouver,folds easily.cos we won't be bringing bb out too often for the 1st 3 mths and even if I do,I'll use a sarong sling(cos bb can slp better in it n they r still "lightweight" enough to be sling ard easily.
Thermometer
I have both the Braun n infra-red thermoscan.
Braun is gd but my gal tends to wiggle while I'm taking her temp.so i end up getting the thermoscan whereby u can just place it a short distance away from the forehead n the temp reading is almost instant.this thermoscan is used in hospitals n childcare centres.it is more hygiene n don't need probes.
I bought both from overseas spree which is cheaper by almost half.

saintbaby
but i tink forehead thermometer is not very accurate. Even my family doc oso said the same thing. I went to his clinic a few wks ago for meds & I saw some mothers asking the nurse to take the temps 2 times coz they find that the forehead thermometer not very zhun. I asked doc why still using it, he said altho not zhun but it's faster as his nurses will be facing many patients.

Re: cloth diapers
can't rem who ask abt cloth diapers. I bou another pack of pureen cloth diapers frm BHG sale yday, thou my MIL doesn't like it. Cos kiddy palace staff said pureen can last longer cos thicker.
Pigeon, tollyjoy, pureen items are on 20% discount at BHG. Spent >$50, & received goodie containing NUK ceramic mug, baby bib, teether & small sample of lotion. I think i'm almost done with my shopping. wonder if there's any more stuff to buy during taka baby fair. most likely will pop by after work instead of wasting my AL.
Oh, received a phamplet yesterday saying Tangs cardholder who spend >$300 can get free braun ear thermometer IRT4520.
