Haha, no my name is not esther
I totally agree with you, there's no best of both worlds unless we're tai tai. even then we sure complain about housework etc. Oh well, in life there's always opportunity cost. But i'm seriously toying with the idea of taking a few months of NPL. Kids' childhood won't come again.

Seriously, you want to try for #2 after giving birth to #1? You very gung ho
If you're still young (i.e. below 30), maybe can wait a little more. I was quite emo when I got pregnant with #2 and my #1 was already about 22 months then. Coz i still wanted to run, jump, roll over etc with #1 then. But now I feel so happy having both of them and seen them grow up & play together. It's fun
I waited for a little while longer before trying for #3. Let #2 walk, go to school, and really spend time with her first. Thank God for the blessings!

Whoa, that's a whole load of shopping! U must've felt euphoria ..haha. I also went shopping yesterday, bought some toys & milk bottle. I wonder if I could do this if i were a SAHM with zero income :/
griny, ViActually i think we puke not so much due to toothpaste. but it could be the gagging effect? But then again, ya hor, i also don't like minty taste in my mouth. At night I'll just floss & then rinse with mouthwash. Sometimes I just rinse with water. Bought wrong mouthwash, the green tea one. Too fragrant for me!
