Catherine, I m not buying any protectors. There r no protectors at my bro's Plc where my mum took care off niece n nephew since young. There r no window grills also. The bbs r nv left out of sight n thy r taught wat they can touch wat they cannot.
Belle keeps wanting to play lately after she is half full.. Eg, snatch her milk bottle, shake her head, yaking, etc..V hard to feed.. Really tiring

wow! feel good to be remembered and welcomed! thanks joanne and bbjourney!
joanne, you got read my past postings? my case a bit similar to yours.. i also tfr 3 embbies, and also under dr sadhana when i did my 2nd fresh.. but i am one year older than you... tomorrow i will be week 22(now under prof john tee.) yours could be twins, based on your hcg reading
but even if singleton, dont be "disappointed" ok.. twins come with much higher risk...
bbjourney, my tummy v big and heavy.. i dont think i eat excessively.. i only eat when hungry, but i put on abt 9.5kg liao! the tummy makes it diff for me to sleep at night.. i crave a lot for cold and sweet stuff! been taking cold drinks like orange juice and soya bean (since i cant take milk).. i am "unstoppable"! my tongue feels so bland!.. my colleagues can help me move stuff out of cupboard but i still need to sort through... u going to take no pay leave? since you mentioned need to bed rest for long? good that everything ok so far
continue to rest well..
i am thinking of getting the pillow recommended by angelxuan... my shoulders and back hurting...

Hi Faithfully, yes, blood sugar can be higher in the middle of the night. I have read on several sources previously, saying 1 of the causes can be coldness, so such patients need to keep themselves covered if they sleep in air con room.
Blood sugar also tends to be higher during that time of the day because of insufficient fluid intake. Hence if you wake up in the middle of the night, can take some water at the same time, will help to 'dilute' the concentrated sugar in the bloodstreams.
For some, medications can help, whilst for others, can be fighting an uphill battle because the body may be producing less insulin at a faster rate than what the meds can handle. Nonetheless, it's important to persevere with good dietary practices and exercise regime. Do keep your dr updated about your progress so changes in medications can be administered if required. Faithfully, don't stress too much ok, not ideal for blood sugar level too. Remain hopeful and continue to press on, you'll be able to make it

Hazel, my hubby colleague and our blind fren told us bb teeth r coming out that's y they put in to suck. was told to give her pacifier but we r not. Now if elis c her daddy she take out her fingers. After that put in again. We have to keep grabbing her hands out then wipe her hand and mouth.
Hi Catherine, were you the one who brought your girl to Mt Alvernia PD when she's few weeks old and ended up girl's condition got worse due to catching bugs fr other kids there? The receptionist insisted you can wait in the clinic amongst the sickly kids...
My friend just recommended a Mt A PD, dr Lim Kwang Hsien at Kinder Clinic, just wondering if this is the 'inconsiderate' clinic. Thanks!!

She every day wayang with fil trying all means and ways to see tv on the bed. My in-laws will try to use their bolster to block her view and now she'll lie on her tummy, use both arms to lift her body up and lift her neck and head up so tat its higher than the adult bolster to watch TV. Whenever my fil sees this he will carry her and laid her down the other way so tat she can't watch TV.

catherine,motherhood starting at expo tomorrow rite? i can only go after work to see if there's any gd buys. Huh robinsons sale again???? GG5 started their sale today!!! today me and colleagues went to taka during lunch break, and all 4 mummies went to cheong and buy kids stuff hahahhaa our babies are around the same age heehee..
Dear Joanne,
WELCOME n congrats!! Really happy to see new graduates here! Do keep us updated on how ur appt went! Mine is tmr. Can't wait to see baby again!
Dear Catherine,
Ya, now too early to judge how she'd be like in a few weeks or months' time. But the past 2 days been full-mark performance la. If she starts to slacken, I sure harsh but now seriously no fault at all Le.
Bring her buy hair brush let her choose, she chose the cheapest 40cents comb tho I showed her the 2dollar plus brush. Bring her buy a new fan cos the one at her area is a tower fan with weak wind, she was so firm about telling me no need tho I was so firm in wanting to buy too.
When she saw a woman hit a man's butt with a book, she instinctively shook her head. Later she shared that in Saudi Arabia, if there is no permit proving the boy n girl are a couple n they have physical contact, they will be punished. Cannot drink alcohol, smoke, wear revealing clothes etc. go car wash she didn't look out of the car at all cos there're 4 men washing. I think she's conservative. But may kena influenced here! Lol.
These 2 days were out quite a number of hours shopping. She seems to enjoy working at home instead. She confirm can find something to clean one. I ask her to rest but later will realize she's washing something. But well, only first 2 days. Just hope this lasts for 2 years!! Lol.

Oh yes, I went mothercare guided tour today. They missed out my appt n got someone else to show me around. Took 1 hour. Realized a lot of things to buy n not bought. The goodie bag has a mothercare brochure, 2 bibs, 1 toy for 6-mth old baby, 1 pkt of wet wipes n 1 $10 voucher (used if spend $50). Anyone gone for this before? Are these what u received?

Hi Catherine, pai seh for the trouble..if cannot find the coupon nevermind ok.
Cockcock!! Great to hear from you! Curious to see how big your tummy has grown..hehe.. For the pillow, there are different types. I think it's better that you request to try them out to see which one you feel most comfortable with before buying coz not cheap.

Hi Sashamama,
I went for the nursery advisor tour at MC. Thanks for letting us know about this, I & hubby learned a lot from it. Because we don't know almost everything, our tour took 3 hours! The advisor was very professional & sincere in sharing what she knows. Now I have a much better idea of what to get. This puts me more at ease as we will be 1st time parents and we have no hand-me-downs. I believe I got the same goodie bag as you.

Catherine, belle is already sleeping since 9pm. Crawl? They dun crawl so soon until abt 8 mths old.. Crawling means moving around using knee caps and elbows. Wat they r doing now is using force n their lower body to glide around. Belle does that too.
I also commented to my parents That maybe belle is spouting teeth soon coz she sucks her fingers.. But they said not so soon...

hazel,
i heard in-laws said tat if babies spouting teeth their poo will tell. Before they start spouting teeth they'll have seedy poo accompanied by some watery poo poo. They'll start to drool alot and some bbs will become cranky cos the gums swollen and uncomfy.

Chris, I read that some babies are born with a tooth/ teeth heeee....looks like it can vary
Thanks Catherine. Yep, PD costs seem to vary, at Punggol my mum says its $100+ for standard fever/ cold but friends say the kkh and mt PDs are less than $100 for such. So now I'm gathering info as I live nearer to central.
Sashamama, my goodies bag from mothercare is slightly diff, I did mine several months back. In it was: 1 bib, 1 milk bottle, 1 baby soap, 1 pacifier, 1 pack baby wipes, 40 breast pads, 4 maternity towels, 1 baby oil, MC voucher. Maybe they downsize the goodies cos too many dragon babies lol...

Dear angelxuan,
Glad your tour went well! Mine wasn't the actual nursery advisor, more like shop assistant so I dunno if it's as detailed as the actual advisor. They said they weren't informed of the appt n the advisor left n they didn't prepare the goodie bag. I recall a lady saying her goodie bag worth $70+ but mine didn't seem like it. So just wondering what u gals get.
I compiled a few shopping lists, plus this one from mothercare, I need to work out mine!!! So that next weekend during expo fair can buy everything hopefully.

Sashamama, mine is like yours. i do feel that the goodie bag is rather disappointing as the expectation given was a complimentary mother-to-be starter pack worth over $80.
It's still too early for me to do serious shopping, wonder if there will be any baby fairs during the 3rd quarter?
