Hi all
Staying with my in-laws. This morning, my hubbs just mentioned to her that need to get everything ready by 1st week of April. Since i'm due early May. And she STILL seem reluctant.
She says no need to wash all the baby clothes. Just wash some can already....
I want to wash more so that baby can have different clothes to wear...
Need to buy laundry wash for baby too. any recommendation?

jc,
for my checkup after delivery, cl will follow me. cause normally bb appt with pd also on the same day. then CL will carry bb.
but the last time i last minute have to go and buy nursing bra so we jus leave bb in the house with cl.
depends on your comfort level with your cl ba.
cause the cl lady is recommended by friend and all her friend used the same cl. so we are bery comfortable with the CL. (knowing she can be trusted)

Weddings and bb shower,
So far attended 2 bb showers and going to attend 1 wedding this Sunday.
BB clothes,
I took out all the clothes but have not washed them yet. Want to clear my #1 clothes to the new wardrobe 1st, then bb clothes will occupy #1 Toyogo drawers. I hand washed my #1 bb clothes using bb detergent powder, but this time I will just use washing machine. Have to keep an eye on my #1 so cannot stay in toilet for too long.
JC,
I would ask my CL to follow. Its oso gd that she comes along, can help you to carry bb or diaper bag. Even after birth, its better for mummies dun carry so many things. Like that will help u ease out your load. I oso left her at home with bb b4 bcos I urgently need to see my gynae that time.

i still thinking of sneaking out to eat good food while i go for checkup. Bring her along, i cannot liao..hhahahah
but nobody at home to watch over her unless i give her 'off' to go walk walk around the area and pick her up later.
how about normal days? will you all let her go out for a break or something?

baby clothes:
Aiyo... my mil is saying that it's still early and told me no need to wash all. just wash 2 weeks worth can already.
My hubbs agree. I told hubbs i want to wash more so that i can dress baby up ma! Then he said that i'll be too exhausted during confinement to dress baby up so no need to wash so much...
Getting emo recently bcos of different expectations between my mil/hubbs and myself.

Fool4love... : I encounter similar situation i supposed ure staying with your in laws? Okay just make sure using all these detergent(baby safe) and cleanser(baby safe) are agreed upon with your hubby. If not, convince him. I gathered that these do not be used after baby is little older(2-3 years), strong enough with own immunity. We are caught up abit in our sandwich generation where our parents do not use them during their days and now so many new introductions which differs from theirs. Of cos we just want the best for our babies, isnt it? dont directly talk to them personally. Let ur Hubby be the communicator. For those that i will be packing into bag. I think i will take them out and inform MIL that i will handwash these first since i am packing in the bag prepartion. I have trouble storing things and hand me downs as i do not have my own place yet. (still waiting for BTO).
One mountain cannot keep 2 tigers. one of my colleague was just posting on facebook as her MIL from China come over to stay with her. She say she rather cut down her maternity leave and come back. Lesser time at home = wont so pek chek.
my MIL hand-wash clothes 1. She use bleach and wash the grandson clothes - all sparkling white. Sometimes she see my hubby shirt/collar like yellowish, she will ask him to change and let her wash. Than i am like -_-...maybe she don't mean anything lah but indirectly shoot me.
that's why i don't like people to do things for me. I rather xin ku and do myself, cannot blame other people. my MIL got offer to wash those hand me down. than i say no need, we do ourselve.

Washing bb clothes:
I have not started washing! I will put in the laundry bag and put in washing machine. I am using Kodomo washing detergent and softener for my #1, so will continue to use for #2 as well.
babbiee: I also prefer May bb
I went to see gynae on Sat- bb is week 32, weighs 1.9kg. 2 weeks later at week 34, I will be going back to see him again, for CTG.

Jill:
Ya. me staying with in-laws while waiting for BTO too. My mil is going away for a holiday towards end of March and she said that to wait for her to get back before we start on anything.
Luckily my hubbs told her that it will be too late cos i'm due early May ma! Then who knows whether baby decides to come out early... then it will really be in a mad rush...
JC: Bleach arh? Issit safe? I also want to do everything myself. but my Mil will insist on doing all the stuff for me.... A lot of my friends say that i should feel blessed to have such a helpful mil. But thing is: sometimes she just does things different... And her hygiene standards are definitely very different from mine...
I also have a lot of more bulky hand-me-downs which i am able to move it in as yet due to space constraints...
I think i'm getting emo cos i want to provide the baby things that i feel i can provide... but due to numerous constraints, i am unable to do that...

fool4love -- No choice lah... Close one eye barh. I understand how you feel.. Totally... I experienced space constraints too. My FIL quite costs savy type.. so certain things i prefer to go through hubby to justify to them. Those not needed then of cos we close one eye and let them do it. Maybe u can pick out 1-2 sets that u wana wash first. The rest leave it to her when she is back. U can help her out and having bonding wiht ur MIL too. get your hubby involved to help. In such times i really do hope to have shelter on my own so i can decide to take those hand me downs rather than questioning if we have space or not. Haiz. But got to understand too.. 5 ppl under one roof, my sis in law room almost become our store room le. Anyways yes be happy and yes look on bright side be positive about how nice ur MIL is helping. some dont even care! We need to count our blessings! Jiayou!

Thanks for the encouragement... Everytime i come back with a bag, she will just comment "buy things again arh?" Then we will just say "oh, it's hand me downs la..."
I feel that as the edd gets closer, i get more emo lo... Cos i just feel that a lot of things are not prepared...
When we came back from the baby fair, i was secretly happy that she wasnt at home... Cos this means that i can 'sneak' all my purchases in the storeroom and she cant comment anything about it... I do know that her comments mean no harm, but just feel awkward and conscious about her comments lo

i stay with my inlaws too. Hubby only child. Normally, i wld let my huuby does ALL the talking to his parents, i feel that it wld lesser the conflict. But general m one of those more blessed one cause my MIL n PIL are really super nice ppl. But due to different upbringing and ideals, there are still time that there are some conflicts.
For eg: i went to the last motherhood fair with her last year. m buying alot of diapers to keep stock cause it is very worth buying. she comments that dun buy so many, house gt no space to put, mind you, we are staying in a HDB executive flat, with only FIL, MIL, Hubby, myself and my no. 1. we have 4 rooms and 1 store room. Telling me no space to put?? super pissed me off, i go back n complaint non stop to hubby.
