hi girls!
I'm at work today. Hoping the day will pass by fast. So many things to do but sneak in here for a while.
Congrats to all the preggy mommies! wah, age gap will be about 2 years. Nice!
Jessie
Have fun with your parents. What's the weather like there? Wonder how lamb is doing too.
Jasmine
Once this man I met, told me that it's a 'HAO' if you have a boy & a girl. He was explanaining to me some chinese characters which I have no clue about. Heheh. But anyway, children are blessings. Good health is enough. So nice right your boy will have a mei mei to play with.
I've actually come across some families who have 3 boys straight. Once, i worked with a family with 5 boys! I think the couple tried hard for a girl but always ended up with boys. And the mother is such a gentle woman. Hahaha. I think I'll go crazy if I have 5 boys.

Long time no post though I still read posts from time to time. More mummies with no. 2, congrats! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Jessie, very touching post about the love between you and your mum. Hope my gals will one day express their love for me like the way you did to your mum too. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Megan, haha, like your theory. I dun mind 3 gals but agree with smalldreams, think I'll go crazy with 3 boys let alone 5 of them! Cannot keep up with their energy level. But if the daddy is very hands on and play/engages the 5 boys, then not so bad. I can go for spa or shopping and leave the boys to him. Haha.

Sorry to interrupt.
Oh, what a noisy zoo tickets.
=============================
May I know if any Mummy has 4 tickets on 23 Oct, Sunday, 11am that you are willing to exchange with me? I'll be most grateful for that. Or else I will just have to sell these 4 tickets and my kids won't get to watch the play. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
I'm willing to meet you anywhere to do the exchange. THANK YOU!
Please PM me for my hp.

2 girls is sweet [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Do you let your girl wear cute pretty hairclips?
I didn't 'train' my girl, so she's always with short hair, no clips at all.
Firipy
Hug hug. I guess as asians we rarely express our emotions but definitely we can show our love through actions which I'm sure you've been doing naturally already. Such as buying dinner, listening to her etc.
Oh dear, did Ayden have a long nap earlier in the afternoon? Hope Ayden won't pull such stunts again.
Megan
HW going school? Wah! She'll be one of the youngest yah? I can't imagine A going to school. Last time her brother went to school he already turned 2 1/2 yrs. Now, she's so tiny. Brought her to Abang's school for an open house and people kept bumping into her. Too small & unnoticeable despite wearing a large polka dot dress.
Pauline
Hellow, are you still a SAHM?

She may or may not be the youngest cos this school accept kids of 18mths onwards, by Jan she will be 24mths plus...last time RJ went to the same school at the age os 20mths...he was quite ok wt it. Hope Hw is ok too cos so far nvr exposed her to any trial class compare to kor kor. Poor Aifah kena bump here and there ah...anyway kids at tis age easily kena bump one lah, HW also kena before!!! HW is now 12.3kg, sometimes ppl will think she is already 2 yrs old!
Yday when i come out fm my shower, HW came to me and say "oh oh"....then pass me my specs...she broke it...poor me hv to search high n low for my spare specs if not hv to take emergency leave already...told her cannot play mama's spec, she says "ri ri" (sorry), when ask her to gv me her hand, she quickly take her hand out for me to beat!!!sometimes dunno to be angry wt them or laugh...

Congrats to all new mummies! looks like Dec/Jan 2010 mummies are very productive with a good 2yr gap, which is just nice.

Ayden is so playful huh? I have a friend whose son also cry until voice change, doc say cry until got throat nodules, but that's because he had to go thru daily phy therapy that's when he hates the most.
Talking about sleeping habit, my LO insists on sleeping with the older siblings, but problem is, she also play in the dark and sometimes go in and out of the room, so disturb the gor gor and jie jie, who have to wake up 6am for school. Night time is stressful for me as i try to get them to sleep soon but with 3 monkeys around, it's impossible. Recently, she has dirrhoea, so now she keeps on waking up to say 'I want poo poo', so i have to bring her to toilet to sit on potty, and even though nothing, she insist on washing and change diaper. Can do a few times, looks like she enjoys the TLC when I am doing it. Wanted to scold her, but thought maybe she is starting to experience the bowel and pee movement, as part of toilet training.
About our yearning for mummy, somehow when we ourselves become one and feel so vulnerable, we will understand the motherly love which we were too busy to see. Motherhood gives a new perspective to seeing things. I read somewhere and would like to share here.
A 3 year old a child will say, ”Mummy I love you!!”
At 10 years old they’ll say, ”Whatever Mum.”
At 16 years, “My mum is so annoying!!”
At 18 years, “I’m leaving this house.”
At 25 years, ”Mum, you were right.”
At 30 years, ”I want to go to my mum’s house.”
At 50 years, ”I don’t want to lose my mum.”
At 70 years, “I would give up everything to have my mum here with me.”
LOL!

clarissagoh - You work/stay around the Fusionopolis area? It is pretty far out, but otherwise the environment of the childcare is quite nice.
bryest - How's Estovan now? Everything ok and his appetite back yet? Hope he is well.
Jessie - So nice that your daddy is staying for another month. I am also sticky to my mum till now, but I am not the kiss/hug kind with her cos my gramps are those who are more traditional and they are not into such.
Firipy - whenever Bryan does not have enough sleep or when he is tired, he is a real nuisance as well. He will jump, run and spin around like a monkey till he starts falling and bumping himself. Nevertheless, hope Adyen don't give you anymore horrible nights.
Smalldreams - How are you? I am sure Aifah looks so sweet in the polka dot dress. Being small is ok lah, esp for gals and no worries about them being the smallest built in school. The irony I have now is Bryan was so small built when he was in IFC that the smallest uniform they prepared for this CC side was way oversize, but somehow when he swopped over to the CC side, he actually grew a lot chubbier (AND heavier).

Don't worry little A looks like a strong & tough girl, even though she is tiny. Maybe next time she can protect gor gor...LOL
Megan
HW is a good weight and chubby! Mine is 10kg only...heehee...may start school next year. Actually I wish to delay as long as possible, because lazy to send. But think she is yearning for friends as she is super friendly most times waving at indian man, old lady, children, everyone. She loves babies the most.

Your ayden is really king ayden as how you always described him on FB, haha. Btw i don't really like FB now. like really no privacy already, don't you think? Some of my friends buy hairband for their kids also I know.
Furby
Aww, hows your girl now? I'm sure Xyii is very doted upon by her siblings. Usually at bedtime I'll have 2 kids on my lap - one drinking from milk bottle, the other one dierct latching. I'm very bad lah, she still latch to sleep. I'm worried about her teeth :S
10 kg also good weight! My A has yet to cross the 9.5 kg mark. So tiny.
Children are so innocent. They are friendly to everyone! No biases, no racism. Nice to see.
Megan
Hahaha so cute. She knows what she did was wrong. She can say "r" already? My girl can't - she says 'saw-yee' for sorry. And her Bye is just Bah! Can't pronounce the 'y' bit.
Elynn
Hey, i'm OK, suffering at work but holding on just due to bread & butter issues. haha. Wow, Bryan has graduated to CC! How's his eating habits now? Good to know he's chubbier. But then you're so lean also, so I guess Bryan will also take after you - lean & healthy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

dear mommies,
jus wanna to let out something in my mind.
think i'm pregnant, #3. not intended. calculation error. and can be very sure it going to be a boy again. cos i BD ard O day(or a day b4) and my hubby family got very strong boy gene. cos his bro also jus had a bb boy and my MIL hv 2 sons.
i feel that both me and my hubby may not be able to handle another bb. cos we both very bad temper. i have not told my hubby yet cos he's not in town. but i hv warned him b4 that our action is very dangerous. and it happen. so lucky. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
i really dont knw wat to do now.

MsTan, I was like u before my gal enter cc.. very worried as my gal is very timid and small build.. I send my 20mths old gal to cc last wk.. So far she is adapting quite well. Mostly cry when i leave her in cc and showering time.. I use to think she is the youngest but no.. there are kids that are only 18mths in cc too.. My advise is to spend 2-3 days with her to let her familiar with the teachers and environment.. Let her start with half a day then slowly proceed to full day.. You can bring along her fav items eg, pacifier or bloster for her nap time.. I will feed my gal cod liver oil everyday to increase her immunity.. Cant advise u much as this is only the 2nd wk my gal is in cc.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Redtea, Congrats! It is a blessing to have a bb.. Do a pregnancy test to confirm.. Try to discuss with ur hb when he returns.. Who knows he might be happy abt it?

Megan,
i have not test a HPT yet, it early weeks only. but from symptom, i knw. cos my cycle is quite regular. i really hope it a false alarm. i will be receiving my HPT strip and then i'll test, so for the mean time jus hope tat my AF will report. but i doubt.
Gina,
I knw that bb are blessing and alot of ppl hv difficulty having 1. but it's jus tat having another boy will be very tiring. these few days hv been almost hell for me. my boys are throwing tantrum 1 following another. moreover i jus started a new job and if it BFP for me, my EDD will be the peak period of the office. and i just dont feel good abt it.

Elynn, I dun work at fusionopolis... but my hubby does.. was contemplating putting him near my home or near hubby's workplace.. the env near my hm one is not gd... open concept n rather old.. so I chose fusionopolis.. Hope he likes it there...
redtea, if you tested positive, I will say congrats! I know it is easy for outsiders to say and I also understand how hard it will be to juggle 3 kids... can have mental breakdown w 3 boys (I supposed ur 1st 2 are boys right?). I have 2 boys now and like u, I am afraid tt if we try for no. 3, it will be another boy... but if really have it le, I won't abort. The tiredness, pek-chek etc is temporary... may not be a short while, can be like 10-10+years... but it will eventually be over. On the other hand, the guilt of taking away a life, denying him/her a chance to see the world and lead a life of his/her own can be with us for life.
Don't be in a rush to make a decision... Keep cool and clam. Explore alternatives for childcare arrangement... Maybe be weekend parents to the youngest one? Send him/her to ur parents/parents-in-laws/nanny to take care? Or get a maid to help u? I believe you should have a talk with ur hubby. 2 heads tink better than one.. Babies are blessings... They are gifts bestowed to us... There are many others who can't even have one... Perhaps after this one can do ligation? All the best to you as u make the best decision for the young one in u... Jiayou ok?

Clarissa,
my elder boy is 3.5yrs old. #2 same as ur #1. think they fight almost most of the time. fight for attention, toys etc. then sometime they will throw tantrum becos they cant get things they wan. cried and kick their legs. alamak, think they got our bad temper too.
my #1 is in CCC now, #2 attend PG in the morning then my mom will take care of him. we dont like to be weekends parents. i dont knw how ppl can hv their heart not to bring bk their kids home. but i knw sometime they got no choice la. another thing is, i scared my mom will not be able to handle so many altho we hv a maid.
she got to bring back 1 from K2 at noon, bring 1 to K2 in the afternoon. then bring back 1 from P1, as well as take care of my #2. then evening bring back 2 from CCC. haha.. she really super granny. still got to cook and shower them. think we cannot living w/o a maid to help out abit.

Yar, I understand... at least u got ur mum to help out.. My mum wants to enjoy life, at most can babysit for a few hrs during weekend .. so we are mostly on our own... I know weekend parents is not a very gd way nor is it very fair to the youngest one.. but if really cannot cope, it is a viable option for now. At least until ur eldest one is older and more "dong shi" and can help out a bit, then u can bring the youngest one back.. U can drop by to visit the youngest one daily oso...
Redtea, I wld suggest u talk to your hb, cos he did the deed too n it's nt fair to face the music alone. U both must agree to watever decision u all make. Tho it's nt nice to be preggy in new company but then it's just a job, dun let it affect ur decision abt a baby. It's a tough decision but *hugs* dun worry so soon k. Wait till test n see how
Redtea - Hugs... As other mummies said, please please please discuss this issue with your hubby. It is not fair for you to carry this burden alone if the result is positive. Whatever it is, keep a calm mind to this ok?
Megan - I have not tried fresh milk, but have given UHT packet milk. 1st time I didn't realise and I gave the Smoov (can't remember the spelling) brand which is vanilla flavoured which he loved. Otherwise, I will give Magnolia or Marigold full cream milk. Each time I will only give like 75 to 100 ml as part of weekend breakfast.
Clarissagoh - Oh, I thought you work in Fusionopolis cos then I can meet you up ;p I personally like the Learning Vision in Fusion, but it is way to far for me to lug my lil guy to and fro everyday.
smalldreams - I understand what you mean by the bread and butter issue cos same here and more so cos I want to keep Bryan in the CC and to get the subsidy, I just have to work. Yeah, Bryan moved over to CC on 1 Aug but he is not any healthier either. He is constantly sick cos he starts to eat nonsense especially when there are birthday parties and school parties. Argh... He will usually take milk at 6+ before going to CC, then breakfast at 8.30am, lunch at 11+am, milk before nap at 12+pm, tea break at 3+pm, dinner at about 7pm, milk before snooze at about 9pm. Lots of meals hor... He has already hit the 10kg mark last month despite being sick.
Ms Tan - what you have listed is quite the basic thing to prepare. You also have to check with the childcare if they will keep milk powder, diapers, etc there as spare or you have to bring everyday. For me, I am a little more particular so I include a fitted bedsheet as part of the inventory list as I don't want my lil man to sleep on the mattress directly. Other than that, please always include an extra set of clothes cos you never know when they would mess up unnecessarily.

Thanks Gals for the support and encouragement.

hi redtea
hope you'll spend this weekend without worrying too much if you're pregnant. From my personal experience, a pinkish discharge is quite common during early pregnancy - it's the early stage of implantation. I thought I lost the baby but I googled & found that explanation.
ET
All the best [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Pauline
Wah, that's good. Does it give you more time with your girls?
Elynn
Good to know Bryan gained a bit more weight. I guess eating nonsense is inevitable ya? Especially when there's a birthday cake every other day. Are you still very strict about Bryan's diet?

Gynae told me that i have PCOS, which is why ovulation occurs without egg. I have irregular long cycles too.. Now need to lose weight to help to ovulate properly. Lost some already, still need to go down further..
Redtea, its definitely tough, guess u have to make a decision asap. For breastfeeding, you can stop just before you go back work, there are many mummies who gave full formula since birth too, not that its a crime not to breastfeed.. Don't stress over it..
