I just had subway for dinner last sun! Tot it is a healthier choice. Didn't think of the raw veggies part....
Gender: I'm quite stressed when preg with my no 1. Cos my inlaws and mummy favour boys!!! During my no 1 preg, my mummy kept going to temple to pray for a boy. Inlaws as this is the first grandson, also want boy. For me, as long as healthy can liao... I have health issues and married for almost 10 years before the arrival of my boy. So it's already a blessing to have a healthy baby so everything else is just secondary... For this preg, cos I already have a boy, really no stress at all. Old people ok with girl now. To think that till this generation, i'm still subjected to gender favoritism by old folks...

tres, if drink starbucks or coffee bean, still can decaf. but coffeeshop, dun have decaf. haha. Need to move a study table out of guest room so that i can move the cot into guest room to prep for CL to sleep with the baby. Also need to adjust and move our bed one side to make space for some mattress for my son to sleep on the floor. Maybe i have to sleep w him on the floor for a start also, in case he's not used to it. Was just casually talking in front of my in-laws and they immediately rejected. haha. i know it's for my good, but if dun move, i dunno how to train my son to sleep independently. And i don't wan to do it after i give birth. Later he thought it's because of the baby.
daisybuttons, sounds quite alot to have ur fridge and cupboards full of supplements and tonics! guess he will be alright for pri sch since he's well-"supplemented". heh. perhaps can intro sports like swimming, running to build up his body?
ctrus, ur hubby so strict. anyway dun make urself so terrible during these 9 months. u're not punished for being preg. haha. maybe just a sip of cold drinks or ice cream to make u feel better. As for half boiled eggs, i agree to avoid. but sometimes if i order ban mian and the egg happen not to cook fully, i still go ahead and eat and enjoy. heh.
caffaine drinks - i tot coke has less caf than tea or coffee, that's y i went to get coke yesterday. I agree w fullhouse, try to avoid caffaine during last trimester. another reason is also baby start to get active after u drink caffainated drinks. With all the boxing and kicking at night, it's very difficult to sleep. haha.
jo, if cannot eat crab, i think also cannot eat sotong. heh. someone did tell me abt eating sotong, baby will have extra finger or toe. then i got super paranoid and avoid totally for #1. will still feel abit scare for this one, but i still go ahead and eat. cannot resist sotong 仔 w salt and pepper when my friends ordered.
s_loh, takling abt list of food to eat after that, my first thing on the list is to go for a jap sashimi buffet!! lol..
snowhopes, no instant noodles?! so good. when i'm lazy to cook, my hubby will just make instant noodles for both of us during #1. Now also same. haha! wish he could be strict and get something healthier for me.

re: circumsize
i circumsized my boy on the 2nd or 3rd day after he's born. done at TMC. tot it would be cleaner for him when he grows up. Also to do when baby, he won't rem the pain. haha.

So end up half cooked. Sad but happy at the same time. haha.

daisybuttons, that's good. I've stopped bringing my son to swimming pool coz i cant find anything to wear. haha! need to get swim suit soon. feel sa to deprive him of his fave water playing activity.
s_loh, ya. esp when they are just born, quickly get it over and settled. i heard irodori and ikoi is abt same standard, but irodori is cheaper. Now i'm not sure wat's the latest pricing.

Hihi,
Read about some of u who are considering circumcision for your baby boys. I have read on it before and it is not recommended as in short it puts infants in risk just a few days after birth and so on. And infants do feel pain and get traumatised by it.
There's articles on circumcision here >> www.drmomma.org

re: instant noodles
once a while i will still hv it. during previous preg..i tink oni 2nd tri or early 3rd tri i had couple of times.. but this time round..i oso more relak.. already had thrice le. but then.. i will boil the noodle..then chg water n start cooking. except once i had kimchi noodles frm outside..cannot ask the person to chg a pot of water aft initial boil of noodles. haha.
re: eggs

Since we are at it...
Crabs
Love crabs, and ate quite a bit during past two preg. Both my kids picked up piano and violin quite early so that's another way of looking at it. Touchy? No leh, I'm too fierce I guess.
Beef
Hmmm interesting thought. My #2 preg I ate quite a bit of beef steak. She was still born small but she's one toughy. Body heat 'bah bah', and well coordinated too though she's small for her age still.
Caffeine
Ah both preg I stopped caffeine during last tri and both my kids not sleepy kind leh. The eyes big big the moment they were born. Prefer to feed than sleep
... Sigh...

Circumcision?
it leads to sensitive penis (if you know what I'm driving at) and as for cleanliness, just teach them to clean properly

Shice, wah the hot water makes the prune juice bitter? then better stick to cool water. It taste perfectly okie for me..

so funny, i was just discussing circumsion thingy w my hubby last night. If we have a boy - we do plan to bring him for one when he grows up, not as a baby though.
Based on mine and hubby's experience, we find it much cleaner and 'better-looking'. Hahhaa.

s_loh, irodori is at river view hotel. Opposite building of ikoi i think.
bliss ling, it will go well. good luck!
do rest for a few days after that, dun walk too much.
celia, tried with normal water. Dunno if i got used to the taste or wat, doesn't feel so bitter. This time i put 4 prunes. But the prunes liddat pao water, like very wasted hor. I feel so ke xi when i throw the prunes away.
re: circumsize
yeah, i agree on the "better-looking" part with celia! haha.. and definitely more hygienic.

Yup it is scary.. I watched e video of e procedure before.. Unless medically required else I will not let my baby or child go through that... Personal view
Hi Batikid. mine is with appointment, dont know u need to wait how long, depends on how many patient are there in a day, but if you say scanning, it also depend on your baby..
My baby sleepy and we took sometime to measure one part... but overall mine still less than an hour. The sonographer says that some might take whole day cos baby not co-perative

Shice,
the soaking of prune in water method probbaly will appeal to those of us here who don't like to eat prunes on its own. If u like prunes like I do, then just chew on them!
Thks for supporting the 'better-looking' part. For some of us who 'tested' both before and after ones, I am sure u know and agree with me! LOL

s_loh, ic.. think we only wan to chong for salmon sashimi. so irodori is reasonable ok for us. heh.. but i agree they tempura not very nice. the batter is not good enough.

Shice, s_loh, celia,
I would also like to circumcise my baby (if it's a boy). I do think it's "cleaner" and "better-looking"!
Do you know if we need to let our gynaes or the hospital know prior to giving birth (so can have the bb circumcised before being discharged after birth), or is this separate?
Hana^kawaii,
Actually, the World Health Organization indicates that "there is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%. Three randomized controlled trials have shown that male circumcision provided by well trained health professionals in properly equipped settings is safe."
http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/malecircumcision/en/
I guess it boils down to personal comfort levels..

Hi mummies! Took my Oscar on Mon too.. Start scanning at 8.30am ( with appt), but only get to leave at 10am. Bb wasn't cooperative at 1st round, so went for a walk and back again at 9.30am.
Got the result from gynae today! Good low risk.. As one of the scan managed to capture the legs portion, I told my hb, should be a girl, cos no birdie pointing out. Haa.. And my gynae also agreed, but will check for gender in next checkup. Guess I'm going to have 2 princesses.. Cos I dun think my hb have the "son" fate. Lolx!
My 1st pregnancy: I avoid coffee once I'm preggy, and drink lotsa of milk.. #1 turned out to be very fair! Haa.. Dunno related anot..but now #2, I'm alittle bo chap.. Shall see how #2 turn out to be. I took crabs, sotong during 1st preg, indeed #1 is very active, like to touch things, climb up and down.. But I still think it's not linked.. But I did avoid mutton, beancurd, del Monte banana. Think beef is okie, heard it's good for bb.
