Hi everyone,
A lot of interesting posts over the weekend to read.
L,
I bet you’re looking forward to starting your leave. I am aiming to work for as long as possible because I want to max. my maternity leave to be with the babies as long as I can before returning to work. When I had DS, I worked till the day before I delivered. In fact, was getting ready to go to work on day of delivery when I felt uncomfortable and decided to go see my gynae…turned out they were contractions.
I do know that’s really not possible this time around, so will just take things as they come.
Yah, I agree MS+faigue+work was really no fun at all. I am so glad my MS is finally showing some signs of lifting.
You take care and have a good nesting at home before your bubs arrive.
MomMe,
So many things to consider with the car. Hubby is quite convinced he’s picked a good choice – Mazda 8. I am quite convinced it will burn a big fat hole in our pockets! But no choice, because hubby is very strict about carseats and safety.
I think our car seat arrangements will be like yours, one adult + one carseat per row. But must remember to disable airbag in front seat.
CL,
No help at all taking care of your twins? That’s tough but you seem to be getting the hang of it.
doblue,
I find I cannot eat too much too, otherwise really can feel bad heartburn and as if my stomach contents are up to my chest. Thanks for my tips on helper selection. I have heard so many stories and complains from friends and colleagues. On top of that, never managed a maid before. My parents have a maid and I do have a part time helper on weekends but those are kind of different because I only see them for like a day and that’s it.
I am hoping the helper arrives at least by Oct/Nov time so I have about 3 months to orientate and train her and if really cannot make it, there’s time to change. The Filipino application process now is very complicated and timing consuming.
Pinky,
When you transit DD from cot to toddler bed, was she ok? Right now, DS is sleeping in his cot still and it does not convert, so we will need to transit him to toddler bed soon so that we can recycle his cot for one of the babies. But I have read that sometimes, that will disrupt their sleeping and the other concerns is 1) whether he will roll off the bed because I notice he tends to end up squashed to either side of cot, 2) whether he will climb down from the bed when he wakes up and start getting into trouble (he sleeps in his own room alone). Think I want a toddler bed with high bars but I don’t think I have seen them around.
Good weight on the twins, are you going to consider natural delivery?
