Mangogal, I've eczema and sensitive skin ahh.. so most lightly our little one might have too. =( Plus I don't think I'll dress her in long leggings during her first few months etc, too hot for our weather leh... I've see some mummiess/daddies using carrier, but it seems like it's too tight leh. =/ Worse is what if she has thunderous thighs like her mum here! LOL! We see how after the little one is born, carrier is definitely more convenient than pram, jus gotta find one that fit nicely and comfortable for the little one.

Morning / Afternoon Mummies,
Checking in only now as I had no time to update yesterday after the gynae and detailed scan. Not an iPhone or BB user so no real time updates to log into forum.
Scan was well. Dr checked the 2 halves of the heart, the brain, the brain fluid, the fingers, feet, nose, eye socket and lips. My baby so cute always having one hand above the head and the other covering the face so the Dr had to keep shaking my tummy to try to get the hand to move away. It was important as he had to check for possibility of clef lips. But all is fine.
FINALLY BB leg's open SUPER SUPER BIG! hahaha First time i see the baby legs open so big. Maybe because i spoke to baby in the morning to say that Daddy delay flight to see you so dun disappoint daddy ok. Must open leg big big let us see see ok.
I can start shopping now... its gonna be BLUE! =)

i m very pek chek today le .. actually not much thing to do in office also, no stress also .. at this moment, i feel if any of the colleague step on me, i will just bite on ..
Rainbow, remove the skin and the area ard the seed. Skin becoz of the things they sprayed on them when growing, the area ard the seed coz it's sourish ard that area and prob might make the dessert tastes sour.
Amelia, prob it's the heat? Take a break, have slow walk, eg to the toilet.

Rainbow, yes. Another way of cooking is to use apple cut into 4 or 8, pear cut into 4 or 8, add red dates, white fungus water and rock sugar into slow cooker, cook for maybe 2-3 hour.
Amelia, I think it is your hormones lah. Just take it easy. After all just for milk powder $$ only. I was like you on Monday, really tell my colleagues off and I becomes very impatience with them. Relax, take it easy. 1/2 gone liao.

Baby's movement
I realise tat whenever i lay on left while sleeping or slant on my tummy while surfing the net, baby keeps moving.. Ended up I sleep facing up at night and cos of the lower right back aching, i placed a flat cushion on my BUTT! it helps surprisingly.

Rainbow, when buying white fungus, esp from Fu Hua chinese med shop, get those white fungus that is looser pieces ones. They will try to sell you the packs that contains big balls of white fungus, but if you are only boiling it for only one or two person, that one ball is large portion! They will tell you to do separate dishes out of that one big ball of white fungus, but tell you, after the white fungus has been soak in water to soften, it's best not to keep in the fridge for too long. Plus you already spend 2-3 hours cooking one dish liao, you prob drag to cook another time the next day.
Remember to soak the white fungus for a few hours before cooking. Actually the best way is to cook the pears/apples and red dates first, then add in the white fungus in the last 30-45 mins in the cooker so you can maintain the nutrient value of the white fungus. But that is up to individual, some prefer to cook really long, so the fungus are really soft. I like mine to be slightly crunchy.

Hi Hippo, baby is growing lah, just be positive[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Belly size doesn't matter. Just eat more healthy stuff and drink more water okay. Everything will be alright[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Amelia, dark chocolate in specific. It helps to perk our mood, make us happy! I always say that's my happy hormones. You don't need to take alot, just a thin slice will do. I posted earlier, I'm not too sure about the caffeine content in dark chocolate, but if you take only a thin slice and you already skipped all other caffeine stuff like coffee, tea and coke, I think it should be alright. The reason being, happy mum = happy baby! I asked friends who hv happy babies what's their secret, all of them said they take a little dark chocolate during their 2nd and 3rd tri. Hence I'm taking some now too. A thin slice a day or as and when I need or remember.
ribena,okok will note.
Eon, realise I run out of duck noodle. in the end cook porridge to go with pickles.
happyhippo, actually the tummy depends on individual. some will only show 5th mths onwards. my cousin's wife which will due e same mth as me has huge tummy and my relative commenting how come my smaller but i tot mine already consider big.

hippo - I'm going to be 20 weeks tom, though my tummy is showing, I can't really feel bb's movement too. don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.
milo - so fast countdown! I'm still thinking of natural or c-section as well.

Apart from the per pax costs, add in $25 for transport and 7% GST. but don't worry they'll email you the invoice after your confirm the order then you'll know the final amount to divide by. you can book earlier if all mommies have reverted attendance
Stefie - so still not confirmed boy or gal? but never mind, just gotta wait 1 more week. GSS until end july right?? still have time heehee...
Amuro - after i lodged the complaint about the last sonographer, this time they gave me a really nice one, did a very detailed 40 minute scan for me! even the Head of maternity n fetal care who investigated the complaint came by to do more scans and said hi... actually he's also the one who dleivered my first baby coz my gynae was away then. this sonographer's name is Dawn. way better than the last

rainbow, sorry to hear abt your fren's dog. but life's like that, at least the dog is not suffering anymore. we shd love them while they are still around.
i'm SO tired! today's lunch only half hour and had to rush stuff for my stupid boss. i really pek chek. and my lunch was 2 slices of pizza and water. wah kaoz.
happyhippo, i didn't feel any kicking also until last week. now i'm in week 19, and baby only kicked me that 1 time. baby should be ok, dun worry.
my tummy was also small last week, then i think i ate too much good food (and durians), this week the tummy expanded and it's really obvious liao. so if u want tummy to be bigger, eat durians.
cindy, i think u can request to your doc not to do episotomy and say u want natural. but sometimes doc will advise against it 'cos if natural then the tear might not be nice or something like that.
