Good Morning mummies!
It's been crazy mad in the office the past 2 weeks and I hardly had the time to come in to read the forum, much less post ... and it seems topics in the forum have been flying by fast and furious ... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Good to see everyone getting so excited about our impending deliveries! But also abit scary because there are so many things to prepare and so many decisions to be made before that.
Has anyone opted for 3D scan? I called the scan centre at TMC and realised it's not as expensive as I thought ... about $100. But the lady said most ladies opt to do it before 32 weeks as it can get pretty uncomfy lying there for 2 hrs ... yup! The scan takes much longer than usual ... I guess because they try to capture as clear shots as possible and it really depends how cooperative baby is on the day. I never thought of doing 3D scans until I saw my friend's ones and they are so clear and I thought would be quite a nice memento for scrapbooking and the like. Also a reward to myself for carrying baby these past 30 weeks and for the next 10 weeks to come
Also, has anyone signed up for the PruFirst Gift? I know this was a hot topic way, way back in our 1st/2nd trimesters but what can I say ... I'm slow to tackle such things

Anyway, the cut-off is week 32 and I'm fast approaching that so just thought I'd see if anybody has any advice to share. At the moment, my hub and I are not leaning towards it ... we are more intersted in an education savings fund but this can only be settled once baby is born.
Regarding lunch outing, I work full-time on weekdays so a lunch meeting, especially in town area, is not possible for me. Still, I hope you gals have a great time [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Would it be very crowded at Raffles City though during lunchtime? Why not meet slightly further out (e.g. City Sq, Novena area) and avoid the crowds? Otherwise, meet at a slightly odd time (either before 12 or after 1.30 pm?)? I presume most of those going are either taking the day off or are homemakers ... I haven't got much leave left (just 5 days for this year which I can carry over to next year) so I'm trying real hard not to touch my annual leave for the rest of the year. Already, if I do decide on a 3D scan, I'll have to take a half-day for that as they don't conduct such scans on a Sat (takes too much time).
Phew, that's quite abit! For those mummies experiencing pains, bleeding, personal problems etc ... please don't let such things get your mood down. Try and keep yourself happy even by doing the simplest things, whether it's reading a book, resting, watching your favorite dramas, or just talking to a friend [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
