haha, i showed my hubby and he backed away...
vic, i was reading Her World Jan at my salon yesterday - haha, reading the survey on single women and i'm surprised they managed to get so many single women in their late 30s and 40s still looking for love. my line a lot of single career ladies, still have single frens so still v keen on this topic. heh.

single hood now is very predominant.
if i didnt meet my hb i think i would still be single now at 35 (36 this yr)
I had that quite given up hope - I think i can have a better life alone than to risk a shitty marriage at one point in time.
my mum told me i can stay beside her as long as I want - or forever if i wanted - we were just too peeved with the men i had in my life previously.
At times now - i do wish i am still single. So restricted now with living with inlaws (gosh my parents aren't even as restrictive in certain ways!) & tied down w the pregnancy & the kids.
But i understand its the path i choose - I just walk it the way best deem fit while i am in it.
i think marriage/motherhood has made me grown in a certain way (besides physically bigger haha!)
but i think if one cannot find a suitable companion for life -its better still to remain single.
I have unmarried aunts myself & how irritating they are in certain ways or nice they are in others. I think its all very individual. My gay friends -have no choice but to be unmarried anyway - actually have more pains - cos there is no marriage to bind their relationship -they not happy just breakup & leave lor. Quite sad (but i am not siding legalization of gay marriages in SG la -the issues on this are beyond me) I am just feeling the pain they have to go thru.
while we are married + with kids. We just die die make the marriage work lor. - got good & for the bad.

jasda I am sending my C1 to CC 2 mths before i pop.
this is to ensure she dont feel that i dont want her just because of C2 - so that she can
1) accept school better
2) accept C2 better as well both are very important
i cannot rest well even now with my C1 around. cannot imagine confinement with her! at least if she climbs on me during confinement my C2 is already out i dont have to worry about squashing C2 in the tum la!
when my C1 comes back from CC in the evenings - My maid also indicated before during C1 time -she wont sleep with newborn. C1 & 2 are thrown back at me inevitably.

i am bad mummy now. my girl gets her dvd dora at night before we sleep. while i unwind from work.
(cos my hb & i knock off pretty late & dinner around 9-10pm by the time we are in bed after we shower its around 10-10.30pm. my girl's been dosing off slightly earlier.
i wish to get my hb to read to her in her room so he can attend to her - she still sleeps only with me if she doesnt dose off on her own 1st la.
it will be very challenging surely cos bfing #2 some more le. i scared C1 will get the jealousy thing started.

vic_ma, agree with u it's challenging to bfing c2 with c1.. i also not sure how to cope with it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I once got an idea of buying a toy baby for c1 to pretend giving the toy baby milk while I'm bfing. Is the idea good? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

jasda, I hope that C1 will behave herself during my confinement, cos my mum is doing my confinement and looking after C1 and C2 at the same time..
I can picture myself spending time with her rather than resting on the bed..

ya singlehood still v predominent, i still have lotsa single frens at 31 (32 this year).
I also dun mind staying single if i didnt meet the right person, my mom will be supportive too.
there are pros to singlehood - money is one! i see my single colleagues freely spending on themselves - i was once like tat too. now i'm a penny-pinching aunty =.= the older single ladies are even richer! quite envy them sometimes but good and bad la.
my single frens still actively looking so maybe i should get them to buy the Her World Jan issue for ideas!

these 2 days my tummy feels so tight - and it's permanent, not BHC. prob grew bigger and skin is tightening too...itchy! and to think i'm going alt days with stretchmark creams - dun like the sticky feeling ley though i know with my tummy size, i really should be more diligent with the cream no matter wat they say abt it being in the genes.

my best buy toy for my nephew is lego, i bought when he's 2 and till now he's still playing with it - and he's 6 this year! of coz he's much better at creating things with them now - i like to see how imaginative/creative he gets with them.
re: carter bibs, order already. see how lor. lousy then use napkins/hankies next time.
no magazines for me. ads are always so tempting!
