Mangogal,
my no 1 also had sweaty feet as a baby, i asked Dr Ong, he said normal.. now she doesnt have it anymore.. my no 2 also has it..
about ur no1 waking up at nite, join the club man.. mine started halfway thru my pregnancy when she realised something was not quite right, why mummy's tummy getting bigger.. she used to sleep thru the night till then.. maybe i PM u, we can share our "sorrows" offline, mummies here may not want to read about how horrible our no 1's sleeping habits are now, hahaha
Neko,
ur hubby is based overseas? does he miss u and the baby? maybe cos our little one still kind of unresponsive (although by now i think they quite fun to play with liao), maybe tats why ur hub doesnt quite know how to play/bond w him.. Remind him that he needs to play a role of a father too..
Muddypaws,
i can sort of imagine wat u are going thru w your parents and maid... my parents do come over once awhile to help me with the kids when my hub is away... and i noticed everytime they are ard, they will comment on my maid, say she purposely do things slow la, say she doesn't listen to them, say she not good, etc...
While i dun think my maid is perfect, i'm ok with her so far.. To me, as long as they dun give me attitude, does what she is told to do, it doesn't matter if she does things slow or fast.
But then again, my maid may really be behaving differently when i'm not around, so i can't completely write-off what my parents say.. So for now, i just continue to listen to what they have to say, but keep their comments to myself until i see for myself any indiscretions from the maid that i'm not happy with..
i'm going to leave her at my parent's house for a week when i go Sydney nxt mth, i'm so worried that both parties will clash and end up my maid quit!
Yuening,
hope u and chloe are better now... i think there is a bad flu virus going around, everyone seems to be falling sick...
About baby crying in a diff environment,
now i'm worried abt my Sydney trip.. going to leave no 2 with my parents, i think she won't be able to sleep in the new place! hope she doesn't give my parents too hard a time..
