afternoon mummies! i'm so looking forward to fri too! finally can buy baby stuff & clear some items off my to-do checklist..
mrs gui, queue until taxi stand?? will abit kua zhang anot? hope it's not too squeezy.. else abit hard/dangerous to squeeze with the big tummy.. think i'll be going after lunch ba.. wanna sleep in late..
cyy/adeline, my boy was 855g (@ 75th percentile) at 25 weeks!! also on the heavy side.. sigh.. gynae say still ok unless hit 90th percentile.. going checkup this weekend.. hopefully he doesn't hit anywhere close 90th percentile.. else i'll have to do some test (think is test for GD) liao.. but then again, i haven't been controlling my diet.. opps!!
jkids, i can totally understand how u feel.. was feeling "fan" & depressed a few weeks/mths ago.. to the extend where i told my hb & colleagues i hated/regretted having this baby.. now feeling abit guilty abt having such tots liao.. think it's a combination of being worried abt work & child care arrangement cum anxious abt being not able to take care of my kid well cum the tot of losing my freedom & change in lifestyle, etc.. woes of being a 1st time parent.. i got 2 new bosses this yr.. big boss also impatient, mcp & not very pro-family.. also dunno abt my past performance, etc.. was worried that my pregnancy will affect my appraisal.. actually this was 1 of the reason why i delayed announcing my pregnancy to my bosses coz really dunno how they'll react.. initially wanted to take additional 2 mths no pay leave so that can breastfeed my baby for 6 mths but seems kinda impossible (will be possible if it's my old boss).. but heck, i'll still go ahead to take full 4 mths leave.. baby & family is more impt than work.. worse come to worse, at most change job lo.. i mean if the boss is so mean & not understanding, then no pt working for such a boss too rite?.. on child care arrangement, my MIL din even offer to look after my baby (her 1st grandkid/son) althou' she & FIL were the one who keep pestering us to quick have kids.. my mum is also working so no choice have to turn to maid/nanny/IFC.. after reading/hearing loads of horror stories on maid/nanny/IFC, i'm also very very very reluctant to put my kid with maid/nanny/IFC.. but boh bian mah.. in the end i settled for a FT maid coz the good thing is my mum is working flexi-hours, so can still spot check on the maid on & off.. but if this arrangement doesn't work out, my backup plan is to send my baby to a IFC near my office lo.. i also wish that my mum/MIL can look after my baby & no need to get maid/nanny/IFC.. but i agree with GT, parents are not obligated to take care of our kids, if they do, it's a bonus lo.. maybe during their time, they also take care of us themselves mah, without help from their mum/MIL too.. anyway, there are alot of things in life not within our control & also no pt for us to worry so much until something actually happens.. hope u can cheer up & think more positively, yeah! having a baby is a blessing..
