Congrats JC!!
I'm seeing my gynae on Thursday...really hope can find out the gender then so I can buy more bb clothes! haha
Rach - I think can start buying abit le? My frens told me their frens who are due later than me already bought plenty of stuff liaos. haha. But I think things like steriliser, pumps etc better dont buy too early coz electronics if dont use for awhile might have problems.

I'm going for my check up tomorrow but no detailed scan. Only a blood test. Is that what they called the Triple T test?
First day of work today.
Very sian for me.
Really no motivation to work liao. Just going to work to earn a living.

May i know how much it costs a month for an MPV?
My hubby drives an SUV and it's about $1k a month. Actually I'm not happy with paying so much for the car, but since hubby is paying, I try not to make too much noise. He always says I'm not grateful, complaining about high cost of car when it has ferried the family here & there.
Re : high cost of living

Sometimes I also feel it's our choice to live a lifestyle that's high cost. I mean, if we step back to think, it's quite ridiculous that we're paying $600+ a month for childcare right? There are cheaper options out there, but since we want better ones, we have to pay more. If not, I'm sure lower-income families can afford to pay about $135 for cheaper childcare? Just gotta bear with the higher teacher-child ration lor.
Then there's insurance for kids etc. How to pay if moms don't work.
But 2Ks, I agree with you, everytime salary come in, it's to clear bills. But if we don't work, how to clear right?
Happy New Year!

2KS - post in buzzy tots on FB, should sell off quite fast... i love boots... thick and good...
pinktulip: my gf hub drives a stream and his monthly slightly less than 1k. about $900+.
seriously i ever tot of PAP u know. but then nobody at hm to fetch and bring the kids leh...so cc is a better choice for me.
but then if u dont work hor. then how to have the working mothers subsidy leh...sigh...
but on the other end, MCYS is also stupid. increasing the teacher:student ratio now even for cc. so doesnt make a difference la.
but then what to do...we cant change the facts now...accept it and move on..sigh

U very funny leh, so direct haha.
Actually PCF also got childcare. But I think the teacher ratio is rather big. My cousin in law pays about $150 or less for full day childcare. She says it's the cheapest she could find.
Yup I guess if we don't work, the kids can't go childcare. Just go for kindy lor. That should be only about $130-$150 a month?

ipanbaby : my hubby also say i ungrateful. When he say 'every month so much $$ go to car' than i say 'don't drive loh'. Than he will ask me go think 'who is the 1 who pick me when i go out with friends, send to and fro from work and etc'. haha..but i also help out in the road tax, insurance and season parking leh.
I think is a balance lah. If one only earn $1K, cannot be spending $800 on the car.
I have a colleague who buy a car and basically park at her house everyday because it is too expensive to drive to work. Sometimes when we go out after work, she will say 'oh i go home and take car so that i can send you all there and back' but only hear, no even smell the exhaust gas. End up is my hubby have to drive her home each time.

Really? Wah, then how come my cousin in law says she pays so little? I remember it's below $200+. I was surprised also. I'll ask her again. But anyway she has also stopped work recently to care for her kids. I so envy her coz she has the option of becoming a SAHM.
JC
Haha! Hey whatever your hubby says is what mine does too. I agree lah, he sends me to work sometimes, offers to fetch me. We have comfort of our own car & my hubby has also been generous in offering to send & fetch us anywhere. But it can also be done with a cheaper car right? hhaha.
I also pay season parking. $250 to $270 for 3 months right. It's all about the $$...want comfort, want convenience, pay lor.....
I guess if there's someone who can help send her home, why would she want to trouble herself right? But must give and take also lah. If we go lunch also, my colleague drives but we will offer to pay for carpark or next time buy lunch, she dont pay lor. Then pple not so fed up.

Hello mummies.
Good morning to a brand new year.
Have been following the posts but no time to post. Congrats on mummies who have found out the gender.
Moving elder out of the cot: during my preg with #2, elder was shifted to his own room to slp on his own 1mth before I deliver. But before that he was having his noon nap in his room for at least a few months, this is to let him famlirize his own room so that when we officially move him he'll not be scared. Now #2 will be moving to #1 room, so training on him napping on bed will start soon as he's still slping in yao lan.

jC, ya I tot no need to sign. Cos few yr back for my #1 at Nuh I also never sign.
Now I got to sign at my gynae clinic stated that it is not 100% accurate. Certain chromo abnormality cannot be detected... I thought detailed scan must be detailed right...this raise my question.

Awww, hugs. Are you working in a finance-related field? Hope it will be over soon
Take care of your health k, try not to be too stressed up over this.
Bbkk
I guess they don't want to take responsibility over anything, so they just make us sign.
I've yet to go for my detailed scan. can't recall signing anything so not sure if i'll be asked to sign this time round.
