Sblbee: I see, thanks for the advice! But right now I only have 4pairs..heard from my friend bb will always end up "eating" and so with all the saliva etc will need to keep changing? How many is enough?? I was thinking no reason to have that many booties so maybe just get more mittens (one set mitt+boots=$3.30 ish) so a pair abt $2 or less will b more worth..
bhoo: ur #1? have u found an ideal infant carE? seems if wana put infant care better to register interest first so that u have a place in the sch. heard many places all fully booked. go dwn to the center looklook see see.
cherish: ya the agents have their own way of saying their things one la. ytd i was at the agency one aunty 'return' the maid hor got kimmo one. hurhurhur. i started wrkin in 2011 lor. hmm. nt young ba '86 de. 黄脸婆. wrk liao than #2 came. SAHM #2 din come. zZz.. logistics planning also a headache for me u knw. i gg enroll #1 in a psch near my inlaws place, bt tentatively nt gg to send him there aft sch. is back home. iya. alot of reasons one lor. haha.
qin: grapes sweet. i tink kids duno one day 10 or 20 grapes can eat. for 5-6YO. than younger kids only 5. i forgot where i read it b4.
joanne: hv u employed the maid? u can get her to wash car if u need. u read her bio. some will state willing to wash car. when she comes jus let her know.
FYI for those who gg to bring maid n bb to inlaws or parents place thn night bring hm. please do rmbr to inform the maid in advance n don let her hv the thinking of 'oh i do two house housewrk'. my agent told me that dae one maid called up agency direct and ask what to do. lucky she din call mom. haha.

cherish, I sure hope I can survive like you did! I already told my HB all my concerns but he thinks I think too much. He says sure can cope cos only 1 kid =S
rykiel, I am expecting my #1. I've already checked out infant cares and have settled for one near my HB's work place. We chose it not becos it's 'ideal' but becos the others are worse. Will most likely place deposit to chope place by end of this mth. I also scared no vacancy considering this year so many babies. You are born in '86 and already expecting your #2? You are a young mummy wor... I'm in my 30s and only expecting my #1.
Joanne, I am pretty sure it's ok for maids to wash car. I see many maids washing cars in my estate. It's a norm =)

bhoo: better to place early. some alr fully booked i heard. i was having infant care plans until the maid plan came in to intercept. lol~ well near hubby place hub can pick also no worries. my initial plan was put bb in at 3rd mth, cos 4th mth finish ML so at least i hv 1mth to monitor bb when he's in IFC. now no need for that. but have to monitor the maid n so many thing to think of. seh. well.. young nt young. angelia younger than me ok! muaaha, angelia having #2 alr n she's 3YO younger than me! *UPS*

hi ladies. i am so so so hot!!! sleep also hot. sit also not comfy. literally need to have fan blowing directly at me to stay sane.
bb like not enuf place to move, keep jabbing me here and there. heartburn irritating me. my reflection in the mirror irritating me. ahhh.... i so want this to be over and done with quickly.
and i'm doing nothing at all this weekend. what did you mummies do?
rykiel, i drink coffee everyday at work to get me going. so urs should be ok lah.
laura, i also went thru the emergency C-sect. frankly i dun remember hearing the bb's first cry. i was so groggy then due to all the drugs even tho i was awake. i knocked out when i was pushed out of the operating theater after holding the baby for a while and took some pics. best to get your Hubby record everything down with a camera.
btw, kudos on waiting 13 years!!! this bb is so so precious yah?

hika, maybe abt 4 more sets for u is enough alrdy....not more than 10 sets cos some ppl told me that it's better to get similar ones in case one is missing....u can easily replace. Yah like what Joanne and Qin said, u can get from gmarket or si ma lu cos its really cheap there. U won't feel the heart pain even if u just use a few times
bhoo: Like Cherish, I also work full time with no help from parents/in-laws. I send #1 to the nanny from 8am to 8pm. Yes, good thing abt nanny is the pick up time is more flexible compared to infant/child care. It's tough at the beginning - readjusting our daily routine, managing boss' expectation that I cannot work late - if got urgent work, can only continue from home at night after bb sleeps and of course attending to bb's demand every night. I am fortunate my #1 started to sleep thru the night when I returned to work, so on week nights, we actually needed to care for him for about 1.5 - 2 hrs before he sleeps and still have some time for ourselves from abt 10pm to midnight before we sleep. Don't worry, we are all tough mummies, after a while we will get the hang of taking care of bb all by ourselves without help.
Cherish: Looks like we have the same arrangement for our #1 and survived it! He will be starting child care soon and his current nanny will look after #2 when she arrives...Hope Hubby and i can handle 2 at night and weekends without help...

Mrs C,
ya. when came to think back, i sometimes dont know how we survived thru. my #1 started to sleep thru when he was 8-9mths old. and i was like a panda when i went to work the next day. hahah
you definitely can handle two kids when the time comes. jia you!
rykiel, liligal,
i drink latte every day else cannot stay awake after lunch hrs lor.

rykiel,
went down 2nd time today to confirm but agent said there was another family who came to interview this morning, also interested in this maid. so choice lies on the maid and she prefers to look after elderly. yes, it is transfer maid. very sianz mood now. if i want those not in sgp, may need to wait for 2-3mths but time is not at my side lor. prefer to get one by mid jun.

Rykiel,
i notice the current market rate for salary is min $450. the agency fees depends, it is ard 400-600 range and this does not include insurance and dont know what other charges. frankly speaking, i'm confused with all the $$ and charges. i let my hubby to digest the info.

Hi mummies,thanks for the all the concern,really hope to get well soon.. Sigh,seriously pray hard all the panadols I've been taking is not going to affect the lil one. Being sick really sucks, as its only me, hubby n my son, passed the virus to hubby as well but he's doing abit better than me, luckily can still bring my boy out to play.
Hear you ladies talk abt buying mittens n clothes, cleaning up rooms, hiring maids is also firing up my nesting instincts but too weak to do anything now. Hope can quickly recover n start by May. Gosh, can't believe it's already 20ish apr already!
Joanne, just a thought, better to enforce all your expectations on your maid now that she's still new, don't be too relaxed with her otherwise she will come to expect to do less n will feel unhappy when u ask her to do more next time. I hired a helper previously to take care of my boy n cook, but over time she just cook then go to the room n rest (maybe I was too nice to her), and finally I had to let her go cos felt that it wasn't working out. With my current part time nanny I am more strict haha, learnt from my past mistake. Btw, think its ok for maids to wash car, see a lot of maids doing it!
Cherish, wah maid so good life now? Get to choose which family they want to work for some more. Good luck, I really hope u get a good maid soon
Rykiel, paiseh, actually I wanted to order nursing bras from ur bp, but been sick for > 1 wk, plus I cannot navigate thru the Chinese website, maybe ur next bp can just recommend me some good nursing bras to get, thanks thanks

Liligal, how's ur boy? Better? So one more week to babymoon!
Hubby asked if I want to go for some beach getaway next weekend but I doubt I can recover in time sigh.. Mummies u all notice our immunity system is really weaker n take longer time to recover when we r preggie? The last time I was sick ard CNY period took almost 1 mth + to fully recover, now sick again.
Good health to all mummies n little ones!!!

Weekends always end so quickly =( Tomorrow another start of a long week at work. sigh...
Went to Chinatown just now to stock up on toiletries and household pdts. I think I bought enuff to last me for many mths. Heh. Anyway, Swanston carries Scholl compression socks. $40 for the night wear version (which is cheaper than Guardian even after discount). They also carry compression stockings that you can wear to work. They are sheer enuff to look like ordinary stockings =) but still might not be advisable due to our hot weather.
Mrs C, cherish and mummies with nannies, how did you find your nannies? Is it thru an agency? Any recommendations? If can get a nanny near my home, that would be an even better arrangement for me
rykiel, abit of caffeine should be ok for bb. I believe the limit is 200mg of caffeine per day. Which is a cup of tall latte. If drink instant coffee, the caffeine level even lower. Like ard 80mg or something like that. So can drink 2 cups of instant cup and still be within safe limit =)

Hi ladies, How is everyone doing? Went to get Medela pump spare parts, a 5 layers cabinet for my baby to put side by side with my #1 cabinet in the maid's room, tested my old sterilizer still in working condition, bought some better quality cloth to make new bedsheets n pillow cases for the little one, went to paragon to confirm my post natal massages. The spa shop still there but change boss Liao. Hope the standard is as good as before. I still need to find time to get my favorite diaper rash cream, newborn shower gel, ... ... Went to see gynae few days ago, baby is in transverse position. I need to be prepared for c sect if he didn't turn. Good luck everyone.

cookie,
thanks! i hope that i can get a good one soon. i also didnt know i will get choose by maid too till today! HAHA. it's so tiring to go agencies to look for maid. my weekend is 'burnt' like that. somemore, not many weekends left so i getting gan cheong. weekdays definitely out of question as working and evening time is rushing to pick up my boy.
ur hubby is so nice to offer u getaway. i think mine cant wait to 'getaway' by himself (travel for work) next mth.
bhoo,
my nanny was recommended by ppl. she's very responsible and caring to babies. had wanted to let her continue looking after my boy but due to family commitment, she stopped looking after kids lor. i heard there is agency who recommend. you may want to check. oh, u may want to check the forums here. sometimes i see there are threads asking for babysitters recommedation.
lili gal,
since i'm opting for c-sect, it's easier for me to plan my ML. is thinking to apply 3 or 2 days before the op and most probably will take 12wks first. how abt u?

Laura, don't worry, hopefully everything will be ok, I'm sure u r in good hands with ur gynae
Bhoo: my current nanny is thru recommendation
Bb alva, dont worry, still have time for bb to turn, talk to bb n hopefully bb will turn when the time comes
sounds like u've been productive getting so many things done!
Liligal, very glad to hear he's recovering well, shd be 100% v soon then the 3 of u can fully enjoy the trip! Hey, ur 'sleeping' weekend is a luxury! Even me as a sahm don't get such weekends so I don't think it's ever wasted sleeping! When ur gal is here it'll be a long time before u get such a good rest again. Getaway wise, I'm more thankful my hubby helped me take care of my boy this wkend than anything. He's busy with work too, so if we miss next wkend, try to squeeze something end may perhaps? Btw, my boy loves mickey mouse now, so thought of bringing him to Disneyland for his bday this yr, no 2 shd be ard 4 mths then

Rykiel, thanks, yup I'll wait for ur next bp but ah I can't read Chinese so really need ur help to recommend the good nursing bras ok, prob I wanna get 3-4 sets maybe cos I still have some from no 1 time
Cherish, seems like getting a maid now involves alot more effort, maybe demand for maids has gone up alot these days, it's gd that u share ur experience, so other mummies who r planning to find one know its not an immediate thing. Luckily u started ur hunt already!
hey btw, if ur hubby is going to nice place for work trip then maybe u can consider joining him after his work for a short babymoon!

Cookie, I've only weekends to run the errands with my hb n seems like not many weekends left. Need to see my TCM doctor for 3 trimester tonic, heard she mentioned in the last visit need to change the tonic in 3rd trimester. She will be briefing me the confinement tonics. Guess my last thing in my preparation list is to get all the confinement herbs/tonics ready before I deliver.
Thanks Cookie, I also hope he turns with his head down very soon. Hoping a smooth delivery like my #1 but still need to be mentally prepared for the c-sect.

Good morning everyone!
Mrs C, I just PM-ed you =)
Rykiel, I think you should call your gynae to check just for an ease of mind. It's most likely nothing ... but no harm getting professional advice =)
lili_gal, I think I will try to work till the day I pop. Hope that's not too ambitious. I want to have more ML to spend time with my BB. If start ML too soon, that will mean sending my BB to infant care at an age even younger than 16 weeks =(

cherish, why you opt for C-sect ah? not planning to try natural?
cookie, yah that's true ah... i should sleep more while i can. May have lotsa hols in the first few weeks i.e. labour day 1 May, vesak day replacement 7 May so squeeze something in will be nice. altho my hubby says it's more work for him rather than enjoyment since i'm preggy and he'll hv to do all the hard work.
btw, careful w disneyland k? just be prepared cos higher rate of kidnapping in HK esp in HK disneyland unless u r planning elsewhere.
BB, my gynae says can still turn until 34wks when it's more or less settled. so still got time.
rykiel, is it regular cramping or irregular? i think maybe braxton hicks. yah, should be fine now that u r ok. no worries. usually i'll stick to my original gynae if anything but if u r really in emergency, i think u can just pop into any clinic.
bhoo, i think i'll try to be like you and work till the day i pop. before that try to negotiate for working from home.
now super heaty and feeling slightly sick. trying to ward it off w coconut, barley and vit C. just 2 more days to holiday!!! hubby is away on biz travel. hopefully he doesn't catch anything as well since he's on midnight flights most of the time. I want my holiday!!!!

oh, btw, i like the maid posts. keep them coming. teach me alot of things and at least i'll know what to expect if i plan to get maid in near future.
my mum doesn't feel like taking care of kids liao but yet she doesn't want maid or even part time helper in the house. so now hv to really get our own place soon in spite of the exorbitant prices.
