Shuhui, u still around ah?? Wow wow..u shd be grounded at home at this moment lar..don't run here and there anymore!
If you gals manage to tbf your bb, then solid will be around 5mths+ same as my bb

Shuhui - I too went to IMM today. What time did you go? I went to find the chest drawer, finally found it at Giant. Espirit's warehouse sale = Espirit outlet, that's why there are only 2 branches at this island selling an entirely different range from the rest. Not forgetting that this outlet at IMM is only 2 months old..... I agree with apple, you should try to stay at home now since you may deliver any moment. Anything wrong do give your gynae a call....
apple - Hope that my tbf is a success.... I look forward ....
Today is an unpleasant day for me. Got numerous time of premature contraction, legs gone tired out of a sudden (strong urge to sit down) & more occurance of spinning head. I feel so bad to ask my hubby to come & fetch me from his work (East to West). Seems like I may have premature delivery.....

Tks Shuhui, I will try to take a rest wherever possible. Yap so long I do not faint and the conditions are still within my control, that's fine. We should take good care of ourselves as we are solely responsible for our own action, isn't it.

Van,
Wow! You're really into shopping. Can even list down the location of ongoing sales. Pei fu pei fu!!!
Shuhui and Van,
Both of you sound like your babies will pop anytime and you're still thinking of going out??? Be good and stay @ home lah! Hmmm... But then again, when I was big and heavy in the last trimester, I also couldn't help but go out to shop. Sigh... The pot calling the kettle black! Kekeke... Just one advice - when you go out, bring along disposable panties and at least 2 maternity sanitary pads. I cannot imagine what will happen if my waterbag broke while I'm outside shopping.
Arghhh...

twins - hi how's the cutie twins doing now? Tks for your concern, I didn't go out today despite so many sale events. Better be sure that I am fit to go out otherwise whilst my hubby is away from sg is going to lock me in the hse kekeke Very soon your initial hard time will be gone & it's our time praying.....
Van,
Yah, I'm getting used to the twins' routine now, so I guess I'm over the hardest period of taking care of them.
Its been raining a lot lately, so naturally family members will be more worried when you go out with your big bump. Hee... I'm sure your HB will lock you in if you continue to "misbehave". Kekeke... I remember my HB's black face when he came home and found out that I went to Causeway Point on a rainy day. It didn't helped when I explain that I went to and fro via cab. So you better be good and rest huh.

Which fish stall did you order your fish from? I normally will buy from a husband-wife stall. Sometimes I will get to see their son helping out as well.
Actually I have no idea what am I holding, just that I saw it elsewhere (in soupy version), that's why I want to try and cook for myself.
What is the hokkien name for threadfin? Is that ngoh hee? In the market we can't use English to talk to them otherwise I will end up buying nothing. So right now I am trying to brush up my hokkien.... sign never know being a mum is so multi-tasks...

Wow, so many interesting topics going on here! Hee...
apple,
I'm also a soup person but for me to make soup myself now, I need the recipe to be as simple as possible. Until I have more time on hand, I will "survive" on simple meals like porridge, macaroni, mee suah, etc. Once the babies sleep longer in the day, I will consult you on the soup recipe as well. You are the "shi fu" here. Hehehe...
Vivi,
My gals are taking Enfalac now and they consume a tin in about 6-7 days. Please share your bulk purchase contact with me. Wonder how much she charges per carton. Anyway, also good that they deliver to my place. Then my HB don't have to always carry home until his arms ache. Kekeke... I also told the ma-ma shop owner (his shop below my flat) that he should sell Enfalac. My HB will be very happy to buy from him.

Vivi, got your mail. Thanks
egg yolk, PD said when 9months can give 1/2. So I haven't intro yet..keke..
Threadfin is ngoh hee not ma you.
FYI, I don't encourage ikan bilis. My friend's DD nearly choke to dead 2 months ago.
Her mom buy ikan bilis, wash, sun, bake and grind into powder and use 1 tsp to spread over the porridge. One fine day, the gal(11months) suddenly choke, wanna vomit but can't. Whole face turn red then purple. The granny quickly rush her to Mt A and my friend also rushing over fr work. Lucky the PD was there, and they clear her throat immediately at A&E. U know the ikan bilis powder they tends to have those pricky stuff and it choke in her throat that she can't breath. My goodness!!! So after her incident, my hb refrain me fr buying ikan bilis for my gal.

twins mom, I'm not the shi fu lar..I find boiling soup is the easiest way to settle my lunch especially when my maid still new, can't cook well. And my bb still so young at that time.
Actually u can boil simple soup, add mee shua inside that will be healthy lunch for u de
Like using fish slices, some vege like spinach(can increase BM), carrot and mee shua. Soup base u can just buy 1 drumstick boil for 45min.

vivi - thanks I got the email of Annie's contact. I think ma you is sesame if I'm not mistaken.
apple - The fish stall that I frequent regularly is at the 2nd stall from the left, facing the mini road. Is the lady's body size around L-XL? If so, we maybe buying from the same lady! This stall is very popular, especially with the aunties. If I don't reach there early all the fresh ones will be sold out especially ngoh hee! Occasionally this lady will hint to me that their "special catch" which is very beneficial for pregnant lady like me hehehe..
Shuhui - wow your time is coming! Sign it's me who is still counting the sheeps 1,2,3....
twins - seems like you are getting more adjustable to the princesses schedule. That's great news...
Nowadays I can feel the movement of the baby even for daytime, seems like there isn't any space left inside... There are times I don't think that the tummy belongs to me as it keeps move about.
Any idea what is the hokkien word for the following:
- carp
- snakehead
- seabream
- kurau fillet
- white pomfret
These are the fish bones that I can use for cooking with the unripe papaya to increase the BM. I wonder if we need to pre-order the fishbones from the market? Anyone got idea on this?
I'm still a greenhorn. At the fish stall all I know is how to select a fresh fish. I do not even know what is the name of it, just buy and steam it. So far there is no problem with this.

Hello to all mums in Sembawang,
Came across this thread & found many things in common with the mums here. I would also like to meet more mums in Sembawang, got more similar things to share. Some self introduction of myself:
-I am staying at Admiralty Drive Blk 467A along the river.
- I am currently a FTWM but will be resigning & be a SAHM in late Dec 06. Really looking forward to it.
- I have a son, Lucas about 23mths now (born in Dec 04). Taken care by a nanny who is just staying in the same block.
- I am been planning for the 2nd one since 6 mths ago, and I think I am 5 weeks pregnant now(did a test yesterday night). Other than my hubby, the mums here are the 1st to know. haha... so happy.
- Like some of the mums here, my gynae is Dr Lawrence Ang. He delivered my 1st baby via c-section despite having a doula during the delivery. So I will be seeing him again. Will be making appointment this Fri to confirm my pregnancy.
- I also read that some of the mums here buy organic stuff. Coincidentally, I will drop by at Nature Glory twice a mth to buy their carrots, apples for juicing and their dry stuff i.e. crackers, etc. Maybe next time can join the purchase for the home delivery.
Will be reading the past postings during the next few days to get to know the mums here better.
I read that 2 of the mums, Shuhui & Van are going to deliver soon. Congratulations & enjoy! Have a safe & smooth delivery to Shuhui. And Van, rest well, remember to prepare a few chicken essence bottles before delivery.

- Like some of the mums here, my gynae is Dr Lawrence Ang. He delivered my 1st baby via c-section despite having a doula during the delivery. So I will be seeing him again. Will be making appointment this Fri to confirm my pregnancy.
- I also read that some of the mums here buy organic stuff. Coincidentally, I will drop by at Nature Glory twice a mth to buy their carrots, apples for juicing and their dry stuff i.e. crackers, etc. Maybe next time can join the purchase for the home delivery.
Will be reading the past postings during the next few days to get to know the mums here better.
I read that 2 of the mums, Shuhui & Van are going to deliver soon. Congratulations & enjoy! Have a safe & smooth delivery to Shuhui. And Van, rest well, remember to prepare a few chicken essence bottles before delivery.

Hi Tetra,
I'm staying in Blk 359 so I'm opposite block!
Anyway will your nanny accept anymore babies? I need someone to look after my dd just maybe 3hours twice a week. Is your nanny good?
Thanks!
BTW, if any sembawang mummies know of nannies in our area, please reccommend. Super thanks!

Hi stressed,
My nanny is good with children. She has been taking care of kids from infant till they are in primary school for the last 10 years. What I like is that her family members also love children. The only thing is that she is currently taking care of 5 kids but some of them are not there throughout the whole day. Give you some info so that u can decide:
1) a 7 year old boy (will be in school half day)
2) a 4 year old girl (in playgroup for 2 hrs)
both of them are her nieces, and there is a maid to tend to them. Nanny is more like supervising.
3) my son (but will end in Dec when I become SAHM)
4) a 6 mths old boy
5) a 5 year old boy (@ childcare whole day, only fetch him back for dinner)
6) a 4mth old girl (next Jan)
Nanny's mil also help to assist in minding the children. She did mention that there is another nanny who is looking for children to look after. If you want, I can check with her.

Hey Mondi, I guessed so that ngoh hee.....is same as ma you in cantonese. And yes I am cantonese tat's why no so well versed in hokkien.
O the contact that I was mentioning about for milk powder, does supply diapers too. but I am not so sure how much it cost cos I dun stock up so many afraid bb outgrow. if you r interested can let me know. also think Seng Siong does sell some of the things cheaper. for me I will usually look out for offers at NTUC and just buy from there.

Hi apple
Regarding your fren's bb being choked by mixing the ikan bilis powder in the porridge. Can you help me check whether tat time when she grind the ikan bilis, she didn't remove the head, and the little bones and internal organs? tat's why not able to grind into real powdery form? Thanks. I still think ikan bilis is a real good source of calcium and my elder son and my cousin's son benefited from it as they have strong bones. Thanks.

Thanks mummies for welcoming...
Hi Vivi,
Thanks. I've enquired on Annie Goh FM too and compared with NTUC pricing. I calculated that with NTUC link card of rebate around 4-6% + link points, is still cheaper to purchase at NTUC. Furthermore no need to buy half or one dozen. However, I'm still looking out for cheaper source, please keep me update if you have one.
With 2 kids now, I become more and more calculative. Realized that children stuffs are getting more and more expensive. Initially Pampers Premium changed packaging and increase price, now Enfa series also increased...Haiz

Hi mondi
actually quite true if you take in the rebates and the points, provided have NTUC card. Its the convenience for me cos of delivery. sometimes do forget to buy milk powder and diapers when they run out and me working mah go really no time to shop too much at NTUC and if really go must do chop chop. talking about tat think I must go and do up the rebates thingy for NTUC if not lugi if purchase <$25.00.
Ya true, if we use premium brands like pampers and the enfa series.......really very ex.

Vivi, I already witness how to make the ikan bilis. De-boned, no head, no internal organ at all. She even put in the oven to bake it till very dry then grind. Ok, she is not convinced by the ikan bilis prob too until the PD explained that ikan bilis the flesh itself when we baked and grind, it it dried. So when mixing into porridge, sometimes the little pricky texture will occured.
I also know it is source of calcium..but I better be safe than sorry.
Can buy fresh silver fish, put them into a cloth bag and boil the soup and use the stock for porridge lor..also rich in calcium wat!
