hopecg, what kinda freebies with Huggies diapers? I went to Taka fair 3x already... Hubby says no more... he's sick of the crowd there. And I think I should avoid crowded places cos more chances of getting sick 
Sian... my office is planning an overseas retreat in April and I'm not sure if I'm still fit to fly by then... Called doctor's clinic but he left already. Hopefully he thinks it's ok and I can get a letter to go.

Jul, you got some many things to buy at the fair?
I also spent about $200 at the Taka fair mostly on bedding sets, towels and other small items. I already bought some at Babycare fair, spent about $700+ for cot, Babysafe mattress, Baby Bjorn and some misc stuff. Then spent some online, mostly baby and maternity clothes, Medela breast pump, lingerie and baby gym. All in all, spent almost $2K so far Better control liao... Still need to get other maternity stuff for myself...

Nattan: How many weeks will you be by then? Where is the company retreat held at? Maybe you can check airline rules first then check with doctor if safe and get letter.
Are you all planning to take full 16 weeks leave?
I am so sick of work and working with people who love to take all sorts of leave and get away with "genging"

I'm taking full 16 weeks and planning to take unpaid leave till year end so that by the time I leave my baby at my in laws place when I go back to work, she'll be abt 6 months. Cos typically year end, my side alot of ppl will be clearing leave if I do get back, I also have to clear my leave and childcare leave.
Nattan
Wa you are a big fan of the taka fair! Haha I went once only on the first day and spent 700 there. I think I spent more at Babycare Festival - maybe 1k plus. And another maybe 1k on stroller and car seat the weekend before that. Gosh, I'm really feeling the pinch now that I start counting.
Hope
Aiyoh u are freaking me out abt the VE!! Hehe

Fleurfleur, I would be 31 weeks by then (now 25 going on 26 weeks). The retreat will be in Bangkok. Actually I called my doctor and he gave me the green light. But I still need to go for a consultation and check up end of this month to get a confirmation.
Re maternity leave, I'm definitely planning to take 16 weeks straight cos I have no helper and want to spend time with my first born. Besides, I want to TBF so I need the whole period to establish that.
Ssmilezz, I went to the Taka fair 3x cos first time went and didn't know what to expect so just walk walk see see. Suppose to help my boss buy a swaddle but she didn't get back to me in time. In the end just bought 1 set of bedding and towels. 2nd time, I went to help my boss get the swaddle. Then the 3rd time went cos I wanted to check out the Medela pumps and buy another bedding set and more towels.

Nattan: i also wanted to go bkk early this mth. But the bombing n my son just recovered from gastric flu so in the end cancelled plans.

Nattan, my gynae told me that i can only travel up till 30th week and need to get a letter of consent from him to fly, just in case they dun allow you to board the plane..initially i also wanted to plan a short trip, but my parents nag and nag, so i gave up the idea already.zzz
p/s: talking abt the VE, it is giving me creeps already. heard from my friends that close to EDD, when we go for gynae visits, they would also check for dilation...scary

Coz I'm 'converting' almost all my standing fans to ceiling fans. Installed for 2 bedrooms & living room. Now wanna get for kids' room & maybe another for living also. Thinking of getting a small wall fan for the kitchen also. Coz I'll be staying home with 2 boys mah. Dun want them to start sticking their fingers into the fans or to topple over!

I also have aircon for the whole hse, but expensive to aircon the whole hse leh! haha

I also did some minor home improvement works to make my home more baby/child friendly. I did not incl the $ spent into my list. Hehe in denial.
My hub also bought some fans over the weekend to replace the old n rusted ones at home.
Fans more to get some air circulation la. Difficult to really cool down the whole place unless u intend to blast it at yourself which is bad la. Wait end up feng shi.
Nattan
Let's see what yr doc say. If really should avoid flying then just be safe and dont go.
Fleur
Staggering the last one mth is good if yr company is ok. Some companies may not like and insist their staff take the full 16 weeks at one go.

Haha maybe your parents' place is very big, so the fan not strong enough, not like my small HDb flat hahaha
or maybe the fans just got old liao?
Haha yeah I bought a lot of stuff for myself, especially new maternity clothes. Then of course, I ngiao mah, want new nursing bras. My old Emma Janes are really quite 'lan'. And the Impression ones I got, although cheap, but lose the elastic very fast. End up buying many more to replace. Might asw ell buy a better one then no need to replace.
As for clothes... #2 can wear #1's past the first few mths stage. But for NB, all torn, staine, yellow etc, so needed to get more.
Baby Movts
Mine started to move more. But not really kicking. He likes to wriggle, dig his dunno feet or whatever all over, stretch etc. Think he's feeling cramped now, no space to kick, so keep wriggling to make room? The movts make me feel seasick haha
smilezz
hehe in denial eh?
Yeah my fans are for air circulation. it can get quite stuffy sometimes.
fleur
Hmm.. I guess my stroller, Manduca, rocker & pump etc all bought from #1 time, else need to add another $2k bah? hahaha

jul, you are well equipped
Spending
Taka stroller - $300
Robinsons Medela parts - $100
Misc diapers, wet wipes, Aussino bedding sets , avent bottles - about $400
My house doesn't have a standing fan too, wall fans in the bedrooms, ceiling fans in the living room. Then 2 of my wall fans spoilt after 1 year, so we bought table fans and put on top of the wardrobe, the kids cannot reach. Standing fans are too dangerous. My friend bought those bladeless fans from taobao website, mummies can also consider.
VE
After i took the epidural, i can't feel anything down from the hips, no feeling when the nurses did VE on me. #1 delivery took 13 hours but #2 only took 5 hours, the midwife told me to stop pushing and wait for my gynae to arrive, cos can see the head already.

sweating
yes. i m sweating buckets too! even within an hour after bath. esp when i dun wear bra at home, my saggy boobs feel so sticky towards my tummy.. but wear bra so constrain, also perspire.
those having #1 will definitely spend more. my #1 i also staggered my spending.. from 6mths buy all the way till birth.. misc, big tickets like stroller, bouncer, baby carrier, playpen, playmat, safety gate, haenim play yard, child proof accessories, new furniture to accommodate baby, etc...
fleur: if u compare with my #1, i think we spend at least $5k just on baby stuffs. we were quite spendthrift for his things like beds n bouncer. these 2 items we lugged back from Chiangmai then. costing us ard SGD$600.
then clothes we also bought alot from there.
just the honeymoon we already spent $1k on him. hehe. so be consoled that you r spending alot lesser already..

Cindy,
i feel safer when i can feel bb movements. during the first few moments when i wake up in the morning and can't feel bb move, i'll try to disturb bb, by turning left/right on the bed ... There was one night #2 accidentally kick my tummy pretty hard and i couldn't feel bb move for a few hours, i was really scared then ...
Ssmilezz,
if you buy from china taobao website, it's cheaper, from what my friend told me ... #3, i'm thinking of not taking epi this time round, but depends on what my gynae say, cos that time, my placenta was low and may need C-sec.
I'm having sore throat and runny nose now, kids were sick last week and i guess the virus is passed to me now. hiaz ...

Jul, I agree with Petrina that ceiling fans are hard to clean. My ILs' and grandma's place both have ceiling fans and they get very dusty. But nobody cleans them Sometimes black dust will fall on us when we sit below Also, my ILs installed ceiling fan in the tiny bedroom we stay in when we visit them and it's very strong, as in the blades turn very fast (and we only dare to turn it to level 3 cos 1 and 2 the fan just doesn't work), but it's like no wind lor.. always feel so warm that in the end my FIL installed a/c for us. Haha... end up I always turn on a/c there cos it just seems warmer in JB
Thanks joeey, I will see what doc says during my check-up. Some people say it's ok to travel and some say no... I guess really depends on individual's and baby's health.
Re sweating, I don't sweat a lot but get sticky. That's just the way I am even after exercising a lot. But I tend to turn the a/c on a lot more at night nowadays. Let it run for an hr or so then switch to fan to circulate the cooled air. I can't sleep with a/c on or my nose gets blocked.
Re baby movement, ya baby is a lot more active now esp at night and I always feel him kicking when I'm about to sleep. Very hard for me to find a good position so now I have panda eyes
Hi sunbelle, welcome.. I think if you have space, just take a look at Ikea or Casa Kidi for kids' wardrobe selections. Can even get carpenter to customise a cabinet for you. If not, some of us here are getting those plastic Toyogo stackable drawers with casters to move them around. Those are cheaper but not necessarily more long lasting.

my mom clean the fan once a yr since nobody is using it.
the blades very strong also. but i feel the fan shakes. always scared the fan drop. LOL

Ikea drawers depend on whichs eries. MALM series are quite lasting but more ex. Those cheaper ones are more flimsy.
If u dun mind plastic drawers, try those Toyogo type - can get from Giant, NTUC, Carrefour etc.
