Good morning mummies,
yesterday did not manage to go expo. too tired after guiding and entertaining the kids for the cookie deco session. *Salute* to those teachers mummies here. aiyo... the kiddos are so active, but is fun! They are so innocent, once in a while i can be a "teacher" without licence. hahahaha...
There is one boy drawing nicely on his cookies, I went off for a photo session and leaving them alone for a short while. When I am back, that boy's cookies are flooded with coloured icing. When I saw it, "oh my"... I ask him, why he make his cookies like this. His reply is, "I love colouring". hahahahaha.... Make sense! I have forgotten they are kids, very creative ones! hahahaha...
Sorry for this bo liao post. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Morning ladies
This is such a good morning to sleep in. How come the weekend weather is not like today.
SarahMay and Tigerlily, thanks for sharing about the sucking pads. I will see if i can order from the distributor online.
Xiaopang,
You have such a nice boss. I'm contented with my boss not asking me to do field work lor.
Full mth celebration
Still thinking about it. Pinkyluv, i like your simple idea. But got to make house presentatble for pple to come.. So the chalet idea is good but so far for me. CCK to east end is very far.
I like Sweetest Momements stuff, think Bengawan solo vouchers too sian.
Any caterer to recommend? I am thinking about Four Seasons.
Diapering
Intending to use Sealer NB first then Mamy Poko NB. Will only use Bumwear after baby hit 5 kg. So should start by 3rd mth bah... In between may try to use cloth diaper in the day. See how.
Toilet training
So when should we start to toilet train our kids? After 6mths??

hi everyone!
about massage : can we do massage now? i'm planning to go batam next week for massage... will be 28 weeks then.
and... on bumwear. does anyone know the price? if want to toilet train the kid, how fast to let it wear this type of training pants? when does the poo stop coming at 8 times a day... ;p i intend to start when the poo is 1-2 time a day, around which mth is that?
i also looking at first mth planning cos saw a link at the spree section of the forum. very nice, things like banners and matching plates, cups, balloons and stuff. expensive though. to pump helium for balloons alone cost $1+ onwards depending on the shop lor. Also thought of doing powerpoint but i have no pictures of tummy growing.. turning out like wedding planning lor. i think in the end will be a simple buffet. for favours, think sweetestmoments got best deal. has anyone done their own favour box?

@ phyphy: oh dear! cool...cool. men ah....sometimes they really one kind la. i was up till almost 6am!
@ jessica: huh? what kind of response. my hubby also. i dun get it la. i thot they will be more into this sexy lingerie thing...but seems not. to me, i'm going to spend the next 2 yrs or so of my life nursing, i think i don't want to be limited to looking frumpy (to myself...since hubby dun care). it's impt how we feel mah since the leaky breasts already not v sexy what, hor? hehe. btw, how come your FM don't approve of early budgeting? he shd be applauding you for taking initiative leh.
@ pomme:diff theories on toilet training. i'm not sure of all the terms. but i read tt it's best to start when they can sit up unsupported generally 6mths. BUT tell u, i know ppl (the more old school folks) who toilet trained their bbs by 6mths lor. some start from birht, every 15 mins bring bb to potty. I cannot do that! but from my exp i regretted not starting abt 2 mths, cos by then he had a predictable poo schedule and always made this grunting/ constipated face before pooing. then when 6 mths came, started weaning, his schedule became more unpredictable [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

yah man. so limited choices. my consolation is can save money. hahahah.

2. Also wondering if any of you care to share your thoughts with me about raising our kids in terms of balancing social academic pressure with home values. been really thinking a lot abt this. so many more of my friends sending their kids abt my son's age to preschool and/or enrichment stuff. while i am still 'homeschooling' him. this is just a post abt my thoughts http://messangel.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/educating-my-child/

Jessica and SarahMay,
Thanks for the recommendation. Will note down and discuss with hubby which one to get.
First mth clothes for boys
I have already gotten a nice clip on romper from Les Enphants. Can the babe wear the same romper for returning home and at first mth?
Sarahmay,
Thanks for the tip. My parents is helping to take care of my boy, so most prob they are old school type, so i get more support for toilet training. Will note about starting when the schedule is predictable and when he can sit up on his own.
Pinkyluv,
The planning checklist is really useful. Now i think i can start planning the guest list first.
I think Belgium is next to France. Paris has the cheapest LV. I bought LV from Vienna Austria last year.

Pinkyluv,
aiyo, seeing your blog always make me salivate leh. tonnes of food and this time round i saw my 至命伤, i.e. instant noodles!!! my determination might caved in to my cravings today liao. haha..
SarahMay,
I bot her a romper from gymboree.
Phyphy,

Re: Full month
No lar, not distributing cakes to relatives one-by-one. Those who come will get lor. Think this arrangement shld be ok with our parents cos that's wat we did during our wedding - GDL oso.
Actually i jus feel like giving away cupcakes cos they look so cute and giving single pieces are more economical too. I like the cupcake tier concept from sweetest moments. But dunno if parents are agreeable. cos u know lar, sometimes older folks think differently from us. They may think it is so han suan to jus give one cupcake with no red egg or ang ku kueh. haiz.. gotta discuss.
Like sarahmay, hb and me like neo garden. will probably go with them if no malay guest invited.
Will not do it at home, cos i hate the cleaning up part.. Yes, I'm LAZY!! lol

Shin Chan,
You can still give the cupcakes away. Buy the ang ku kuehs from Bengawan solo or that teo chew kueh shop opposite queensway and place it on the table for your elders to eat when they are there at the full mth celebrations. If you have confinement lady, ask her to help you make the red eggs. Very easy one.
Cheap and good and you get to give your cupcakes.

BUT tell u, i know ppl (the more old school folks) who toilet trained their bbs by 6mths lor. some start from birht, every 15 mins bring bb to potty. I cannot do that! but from my exp i regretted not starting abt 2 mths, cos by then he had a predictable poo schedule and always made this grunting/ constipated face before pooing. then when 6 mths came, started weaning, his schedule became more unpredictable [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
BOYS CLOTHES

MOM OF TOTS here.
1. My friends recommended some educational games to me. I'm really tempted to buy. Just wanna share them with those of you with kids aged 2-5 y.o.

2. Also wondering if any of you care to share your thoughts with me about raising our kids in terms of balancing social academic pressure with home values. been really thinking a lot abt this. so many more of my friends sending their kids abt my son's age to preschool and/or enrichment stuff. while i am still 'homeschooling' him. this is just a post abt my thoughts http://messangel.wordpress.com/2010/06/06/educating-my-child/
yikes...sorry ladies. dunno why got delayed double post! i went away to be w son....came back... saw the CONFIRM POST thing...so i hit. tried to delete but cannot. sorry!!!
pinkyluv: ah! no wonder la. event mgmt. i cannot do. hehe. shall go check out ur blog on shopping loot later!
@ diamantz: yup. it's gina ford. but are u a routine/schedule person? cos if not, it can be hard to implement. i for one cannot. the dream feed thing...didn't work for my boy.
which hospital you going again? Mt A blankie is sucky...rough cloth. i made mistake of not bringing. but TMC one was nice and soft. just buy a nice soft cotton one is good enough. 3-6 mth is good cos they can still wear. NB outgrow their clothes really quickly.
UNDERARM THERMS are better for infants. Even my PDs say better.ear therms are too big to fit them into the ear.
BKS:
What to Expect During the First Year is good too.

Another book mummies should really read is this http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Baby-Whisperer-Connect-Communicate/dp/0345479092%3FSubscriptionId%3D19BAZMZQFZJ6G2QYGCG2%26tag%3Dsquid806648-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0345479092

This is one book that got me through the early days of caring for my boy 2yrs back. Have recommended this book to many of my frens & they were all able to understand & follow what the book taught. Simple to read even for mummies who r not regular readers. Highly recommended!!

Adelynn: I also nvr go to the fair, cos I got most of my items, plus not v keen to go crowded places nowadays.
Diamantz: Ya, like someone mentioned: I think "What to Expect - The First Year" is quite a good book, heard from my colleague. You can get it in Borders, but the last time I checked, it was out of stock.
Pomme: I read from a website a mummy introduced here that underarm temperature reading is better than ear for newborn. May i know what brand of thermometer your sis recommend? Most I saw seem to be ear type. Duno where to get underarm type?
Massage: Nirvana spa having promo, 68 for pre/post natal massage. Was told can do massage till 32 weeks, after that cannot do.

bb: yea actually i also don know wad to get i tink i will jus go to kiddy palace get the member card and buy all my stuffs there. so far i only lack fo breastpads and glass milk bottles. other then that don need anything.. phews.
pinyluv,
ur colleague ah.. really terrible leh.. trust me, u are not fat and moreover this is your No.3, u maintain well liao.
adelynn,
regarding swollen feet, i checked with my gynae last sat during checkup. He said no worries as long as it is not too swollen and since my bp and urine test is normal. Wat i understand is that for bad cases, gynae might probably prescribe mtbs with medication that promotes blood circulation. U monitor your case lor.
