[xbliss]

jac, sorry leh i cant help u much., i need advice from the mummies here too! dun stress dun stress.. parenting is like science experiment.. gotta try and try!

powergal, this is the way our parents used to parent lor.. cant blame them.. their old habits die hard. I usually correct my mother in law by telling her babies do not know anything so if they are stupid or useless, then she must teach instead of just calling them names. She used to tell my son that he pick up from rubbish bin and i am very angry. lucky i din have to do anything much cos my father in law corrected her when he heard it! hehe.

xiaowanzi,
hope u are feeling better. it is such a journey but he will be back with u all soon.

 

[stressed]

Powergal,

I'm sure I will get upset if I hear that from my MIL too. Lucky for me, my MIL knows that my tongue is filled with acid. So she dare not say in front of me at least. But if I ever hear that I would tell her intelligence is in the DNA. So if her grandchild is useless, it is also her son's fault. I won't say it's directly her fault but if she smart enough, she knows how to link the two together.

Hi Bloom, dd is in Character Montesorri, AMK branch.

 

[didi]

Jac,
Yup, must 'buy' old folks hearts sometimes lor

I won't say she is the best mil but one thing, she is very tactful she think before she say anything

she is also careful with all her grandchildren that no one will feel that she don't love them that much or love them more, think this is important as the kids will be closer, I must learn from such actions, hey we are going to be someone's mils one day too. Oh ya, those things that the our bums bums do really touches our hearts

sort of like, make all our efforts worth it

when I say 'kiss kiss' to Darryl and Dylan they will turn their cheeks to me and let me kiss

 

[xiaowanzi]

hi xbliss / Costa / Janclyn / Jane,

Thanks for yr encouragement. Now feeling better.

During lunch hr, my hb just checked with the doctor, they said his blood test show no infection.( relief....). They said some premiees sometimes will have this set back.

hope it will not occur again. (Really heart attack)

 

[costa]

xiaowanzi,
Really hope you are feeling better....its gd tat he has no infection...its true..as we always say..the nicu/scn is a roller coaster of emotions and its smtms a step forward, two steps back...i noe wat you mean by the heart attack...i can faint when i see any number faintly resembling kk number on my hp....

do take care and pm me if you need any help...

 

[didi]

Costa,

after read what Jane and didi say - true leh, not all babies like apples. I norm keep quiet when my IL say something I dun like.then I steam inside. these day - I think I must try to say something. must train myself say somthing nicely so I feel better and they know not to talk anyhow to me. else they continue then I cont get angry. u see what works for u. u feel better keep quiet or say something ?

ok so next time she say something like dat. maybe can respond - 'other baby also dun like apple leh. dun like apple don mean useless lah. some my fren's fullterm baby also dun like apple and spit out.' then u can add some praise for ur baby. eg. '...my baby v strong, go thru lot things unlike other baby'. honestly I feel better saying stuff like dis even if they dun agree with me.

ur TONE very impt. must be v casual. if say wrong tone, more problem.

xiaowanzi
happy to hear he is better

pray that ur baby get better. take care

 

[daec]

jac
ur attitude not problem lah. just realistic.

hubby want me treat his parents like I treat my parents. but I just can't. afterall my parents brought me up and are the ones to help out with my girl. il dun leh. I also disappointed they not come when Nada operation. I know la too bz with work etc. well they dun treat me v bad either. just we v diff and I get easily irritated even if they dun mean anythg. hehe dunno how when I myself is mil.

 

[neoah]

xiaowanzi
Take care. yup, like costa say, 2 step backwards but don't worry, your boy will bounce back with many steps forward soon. keep us posted and meanwhile, send our hugs to your boy. I really don't know how i can help u .. but wish to tell you, be strong and don't feel upset. anytime you wish to talk, just type here...a lot of mummies here is reading. hope it make you feel better.

hi mummies,
cathrina surgery is very successful.juz discharged on sunday.tks for all the support and well wishes.

kkf,
how much is ann tan consultation?might consider to see her.

 

[kkf]

wow, quite a lot of posts...taking some time to read. Quite busy now cause the kids just finished their compo examination, and I have to mark.

Fairylander, congrats that cathrina surgery is successful and is discharged. Must let her bu hui after losing so much blood.

Dr ann tan consultation is ex man. Think 100 for 1st time consultation only.

Costa, I made the bear in esplanade, dash did not really stuff the cotton. He sat down about to stuff, when he heard the machine noise, he got scared.

xiaowanzi, dun worry, hope your boy will get out of kkh soon and be back home. I understand how you feel. There were times I got fustrated with dash's progress as well when he was in NICU and SCN.

bloom, no choice lar, been married goto have faith in own marriage, and have to try to make it lasts forever.

Dm, yah feeling much better now. I realise my hubby is really not bad. haha.

Jane got your pm, give me some time to reply, k...busy marking compo...sianz.

I am going to see ann tan for blood test later, and saturday got to go for 2nd time scanning. wow liao, sianz...cause mount elizabeth too far for me. I think next time I got pregnant, better find nearby place.

didi, wow, that must be a precious moment for you! so sweet!

jane,
i like ur attitude!!

frankly, ws likes & eat fruits since young.. apple, cherry, papaya, banana, grapes, peach, etc. but juz after she turn 2 (& transform into terrible 2), she refused all fruits. except 4 梨, cos my father told her eat 梨 then got 力. haha

she oso has been eating veg, but since gg 2 sch, when she spot green green colour in her food, she will tell me 菜 no!! so i got to 'hide' the veg beneath porridge/noodle/other food.

TERRIBLE TWO!

thanks for the birthday wishes

Jane, so paiseh, i haven't been updating my blog... my blog is sooooo backdated.

kkf, i read ur message left on my blog... hee hee, my blog really so outdated compared to yours... so malu...

DM, no party for her, just celebrate at home with a small cake and takes lots of pictures. Preparing to dress her in new clothes and her first pair of shoes. Too bad if she is born just one day later, then it will be a public hols and daddy need not work.

Jane/DM, u mentioned about 'orangey' stuff. Oh dear, I put pumpkin into coco's porridge everyday... what will happen? my mum says too much papaya will cause palms to be yellow. Pumpkin also? I also use carrots quite often.I'm running out of idea what to put in her porridge. Guess i'm not very creative!! Any suggestions?

 

[jactey]

hello,
lili,
pass my message to coco, my whole family member wish her happy 1 years old...be pretty and guai guai,,,
i too give my boys pumpkin , but in week one time only, and carrot too..actually most of the time i put potato,,and i think potato should be ok right...and now my boys one person can take one large of whipped potato from kfc...powerful right...
JAne
I give them pediasure now...hi, can i know the air purifier you use now??
hi, post some my boys photo...after they sick..and naughty face...

[didi]

Jac,

[costa]

jacelyn,
yr boys so adorable...

i have an air purifier at home..sharp brand......but i seldom on it..too lazy....

lili,
happy birthday to coco...u are back in shanghai....started work already?

 

[jactey]

didi..
ya, correct, the whole yelloy is didi,,,bryan... goh goh is terry..ai ya, you know how hard i built their weight and health up after they sick.....kelian lei...me...

 

[jactey]

costa..
miss them bo???so long never see them ha...this time they will know how to play wth you liao...see when i go singapore sure will let your know...

 

[didi]

Jac,
same lor when they fall sick they will lose weight, I really dread the mmr injections that they got to take next month.

Costa,
do you know whether we have to let them take the mmr within a stipulated period ? thot they are supposed to take at 15mths but D&D is only 13mths corrected next month, thot of delaying till june/july

kum sia

 

[jactey]

costa..
did you see their behind...the staircase side was built in one board??that one to clese the staircase...cos they like to climb staircase...see how naughty they was...and they like to climb car too, not drive but climb...

 

[costa]

jacelyn,
yes of course,din see both for so long..do let us noe when you are cmg down...u read in the papers, spore got outbreak of hfmd...many childcare centres closed.....do take care if you do come down to spore...

 

[jactey]

didi,
wah mmr,i too scared,,,last time my boys after took, sick....first fever , after that phelgm and cough...but, depend of baby la...i think your boys should be ok...for my one they very sensitive one...but this time chicken pox jab they ok lei...so not to worry..

 

[costa]

jacelyn,
yup i saw the board in the photo..its a preventive measure right to prevent yr boys from gg up the staircase themselves..

didi,
u want to delay the jabs?
me also not sure..i only noe tt the jabs are to follow the actual date of birth..my son has finished all the jabs for 18mths

 

[didi]

Costa,
think not gg to delay but I will let Darryl take the jabs 1st then Dylan otherwise if 2 of them kena fever, I can't cope

Jac,
you can get those removable gate thingy, my sis bot that for her place, is yours a permanent fixture ? Think I will let the boys take lots of fluid b4 the jabs

did you let B&T take any special cooling drinks/ soups ? pls share with me

 

[jactey]

didi...
wah, you so clever,,take turn to give,,but, i worry lei...some time they say twins always sick after that one recover...and fever can spread too...but, is the right way to take turn...for me no cos i never think of that good idea that you suggest...and they also complete their jabs liao..
for me...i give them pear powder before the day...and now i got cook juhua+jinyinhua+pingtang for them to drink lor...and after they back i give them fever medicine even they no fever ...take two day to three day...
that board fixed,,but can dismantle anytime,,my hubby do one,,very ugly hor..but safe money la...do himself..
ya, now my boys take yuganyou too...original one,,they say very good for toddler....my boys like it so much,,,i feel they very funny lei,,,anything they like lei...somemore now bread was their favourite,,,everyday i must buy new packet for them...everyday say pao pao ...

 

[costa]

didi, i think that is a gd idea to separate their jabs....

where do u go for their jab?

 

[disneymickey]

lili,
it's true.. cannot take 2 much orange food. same theory like wat ur mom say abt papaya. u can try food like potato, broccoli, cauliflower, brinjal, winter melon, old cucumber, tomato, mushroom, pearl beans, green pepper, etc...

jac,
your boys cute!! not skinny la.. my ger lagi skinny. 9.8kg @26mths!!!! nev mind la, as long as they got input (ie. eat) & output (ie. shit) & they r happy, it's gd sign tat they r growing. but hor, i c the pics u posted, i can imagine the chaos & noise they r creating at home.. i imagine only headache liao..so i really peifu u can stay at home haha

 

[didi]

Jac,
thanks for sharing

no lah, not ugly, so long can save $ and serve the purpose, good enough

true leh, for twins, after 1 sick usually the other also sick

now I only let my boys take plain water, don't want them to get addicted to sugary drinks 1st

Costa,
most likely will go to polyclinic, already have a appt there

 

[scarlettohara]

Hi jac, thanks for your birthday wishes

Your boys so big and cute now

so fun to see them playing with each other. Coco also always climbing up and down, although of course she can't climb properly and so got a few accidents!! She just fell from bed two days ago

today knocked against the wall, and got a ba lor gu!!!

Daec, nada birthday also coming right? i remember their birthdays quite close. Happy birthday to Nada in advance

DM, mushroom, green pepper, cucumber and brinjal all can take before 1 yr old? Coco corrected age is about 9mths plus only. Just add to porridge?

costa, no haven't gone back to work yet... now full time mum

enjoying while it lasts....

 

[daec]

Jac
ur boys so sweet. v active hor

Lili
yes Nada birthday soon May 18. Thank u
