Yah, imie, what happened? Glad you sought help!
I've been obsessing about buying another new stroller even though I have 2 already. I want to replace the 4.5 year old Capella we own with a maclaren quest. Cos I want a light equiv that my 4 year old can sit in without the stroller creaking away. But so sad, hubby keeps vetoing! Says we don't need as Capella, though worn and creaky, hasn't collapsed! Maybe have to wait till next year's taka baby fair! No sale now.

Pink bunny, how was your trip?
Hi Everyone
I'm a first time mum also due in Apr 2012. Have been a silent reader on this forum on and off.
My colleague just shared with me a video about the 5 sounds a newborn (0-3mths) makes. Apparently all babies make the same sounds. For eg. when the baby makes a 'neh' sound, it means baby is hungry.
The video is quite long at 15 mins but I think it does make logical sense. So I thought of sharing this with all of you.

Hope it'll be helpful.

Imie, take 1 step at a time, do not rush through, you'll be fine.
pinkbunny, my girl was using it since week3 for day, I swear by it. The nappyliners will do the job.
Haru, my friend told me is pretty new as her nappy do not like it, I need to see the actual than update you, pretty sure is not BN, not washed.
EL, Maclaren weight limit is 15kg, do consider that in mind.

Hi ladies. Hope you had a good weekend.
Posting this here instead of fb so everyone can share this info.
For those going to use Gleneagles and haven't done your pre-registration, might consider doing it asap. Coz there is a confimed price increase going to take effect from 26th Dec. The current prices are only valid for any pre-registration done prior to that.
Also, if you are considering using the medela freestyle pump, might want to buy earlier coz think there is a price increase from Jan. I am buying from the spree from Tan Leng Leng and she posted this info on her thread.

smallpea, please PM Cheekyduckie your email to add you to FB private group.
Starrie, thanks for the information. I'm going for my review this Sat. Isn't it too early to do pre-registration now?

MeinMe,
It does seem a little early but if you have confirmed using Gleneagles, then might as well do it now to save on price increase. No point paying more for same service and can save the money to spend on bb.
My gynae also does the pre-registration after 27/28 weeks but since my friend told me of the price increase, I checked with him and he confirmed it so we asked to do the pre-registration now and he was ok with it.
Also, when I went to do the pre-registration directly at the counter, I heard from the counter staff that many people are booking now to avoid price increase. So might not be that early after all...

LitteDd, high chance is a boy from the 14 and 18 weeks scan at gynae's clinic. Doing my detailed scan this Fri to double confirmed.
Naming is a challenging chore for us this time!!! I'm A, HB is W, my 2 dogs (boys) also started with W and A, my girl is A, therefore, this one will be W. My girl has wanted to name her meimei Wicky or didi Wacky!!! I've thought of the name Wish. Not much choices for W. I may just do with Will or Wilson (son of William).
This time, I have sort of set my mind on Quinny Zapp Etra, will wait for the new color next year to decide.

haha, did not spent much on a stroller, got a capella 707.
i think u need to settle on which brand u prefer/trust. easier, if not too many brands in the market. And also ur budget.

LittleDd, cannot, my boss's name is Andrew!! A is for my girl, cannot do another A, not "fair" to papa aka HB.
You may consider to go Kaki Bukit, Baby Hyperstore to try out the different brands and models to decide. I've used Maclaren for my no.1, from XT model to Volo. I like the easy, 1-hand open and close mechanism. I prefers sturdy design and hardy design. Quinny a bit chiam to operate, need to take out the seat then close or assemble.

Meinme> Quinny has one model that is very easy to operate you should ask the hyperstore staff or the takashimaya staff. Hyperstore put their stuff to sell at taka but does not display all so what you can do is go hyperstore see. then wait for taka sale and order the model u want thru taka staff. I got mine that way and gotten additional 10% off.

Hi Ms Tan =)
Are you delivering at mount A too?
I just checked out the prenatal class info on the mount A website. They mentioned that we can start at 24 weeks. So phew!
I read that it is cheaper for mothers who are delivering at mount A, does that mean we have to register at the hospital before registering for the class?

hi all. thx for the concern. my depression is nothing to worry abt. baby is doing fine. its just that with the pregnancy, hormones n all. i get super sensitive. i tend to kp it to myself when sumting unpleasant happens, esp work related stuffs, and when i get home i cry nonstop to myself, s time passes by i hate gg to work, and soon aft i get emotional n tend to think of unpleasant stuff. i tot the emotional baggage was too much to handle so i went to see my gynae. im not on hosp leave yet, but my MC started since last monday till 27th dec.. its bn great resting n not thinking of too many things =)

i'm currently attending classes by thomson with mrs wong. not too bad. but i tink shld attend earlier. the 1st 2 classes is on prenatal stuff. they will teach prenatal massage techniques that the husband can do for the wife to relief pain. and also prenatal exercises, but if u attend prenatal yoga, then this lesson not very useful, cause its the same as prenatal yoga. but u mite not remmeber hte moves, cause she will jus go thru it in 1 lesson. these classes are more for prenatal, and can be done in the after 1st trim. if go too late in the pregnancy, then the 1st 2 classes will be quite wasted, cause gg to deliver, then not much chance to use it. and hte exercise shld start earlier as well.
of cause other parts of the classes will teach how to take care of babies. she will give each couple 1 dummy baby to practice.

dink, thanks, I'll do it this sat when I go for my review.
anise, I need to clarify, she told me is pretty new but I do not know how new can it be till I see it. Yes, I've told her to pass me the 3 sets of girl color that she has. I'll update you. Each set is clearing at $15 with 2 inserts, is a damn deal, that set BN would have costed $40+.
Ginger, how come you attending at TMC? thought you'll be delivering at GE? Yes, I need to agree that Mrs Wong is good, she has helped me lots when I have problem breastfeeding, GE sucks on that part.

I'm currently attending Mrs Wong's prenatal class as well, last session ending end of the year. She has been v detailed and has a wicked sense of humour, I think most couples enjoy her lessons
Those not giving birth in TMC can enroll too.

anise, I might be going Robinsons sale later. Thinking of getting Avent steriliser set as seems quite good offer.
gingerbreadger and kinky_mummy, which Mrs Wong's class are you attending? I am also currently attending her class at AMK on Sat. I also think that going earlier is better so you can also know what things you need to get especially for 1st time mummies who are not sure what to buy. But her classes are quite fully booked as she is known to be quite good so must book early.

Ni, we are naming our babies starting with K too!
Cos hubby and I both have names starting with K. Our common friends call me K1 and my hubby K2. So our boy will be K3! Haha.
We shortlisted Kyan too! But later on agreed on another name. It was hard choosing a name for boy. We had the girl's name from before we got married! Hopefully will get to use it in the next few years!
