CONGRATULATIONS CACTUS!!!!
Soooo happy for you =)
Soooo happy for you =)
Hallo ladies....
Tried posting my gal's pix but unsuccessful!
My gal is hospitalised today for jaundice and will be discharged on Wed. I cried when she is being hospitalised... So heart pain to see her! Currently, i m suffering a bit of depression, thank god for my Mum & HK Auntie, who rallied around me... And told me that my gal is in safe hands.
My CL is not taking good care of my gal coz she kena diaper rashes and skin rashes... especially when the PD told us today abt the rashes.
My Mum has no choice but to come down and help me out. I dun want to tire my Mum out... but no choice. I cried so many times in these few days plus, my in laws irriated me with their expression of concern.
I told my hubby that i appreciate their concern but their expression is just noise to me. Now, i just want peace & Quiet....
Once my gal is discharged, i will be taking care of her full time w/o the confinement lady help. Keeping my fingers crossed that i could cope!
Mei, njoy ur bangkok trip!
Von, wat HK series u going after now?
Piglet, what did u bake last Wednesday?
Reading your posts does keep me sane!

Congrats Petrina! Wow Wow! You all very power leh. I have a few girlfriends who got pregnant within 3-6 months after wedding and I thought that is already super fast...hehe...
Next prob Law & Len then. Hehe! I have always like children but the thought of having one who is mine, still sounds very far and scary for me now. Haha...prob no maternal instincts yet =P
So happy. The mood in this thread has changed so much. From irritation, frustration, anxiety...all of us are so relaxed now =)

I had a friend who got pregnant 6 months after her wedding. I thought that was very fast already... didn't expect myself to be pregnant immediately after the wedding...
I used to think I'm not prepared for a child. Absolutely didn't want to consider having a child until a couple of years later. But it's funny... cos when I knew I was pregnant, I felt more "ready" for a child. Maybe we can never be "too" prepared..just have to go with the flow.

JY: my GDL is also on 27Oct. haha. yup, Nail Xpert have a bridal package, it come with nail art and some crystal. already book my appt with them for Nov slot.
Wah Lao! Cactus - REALLY CHOY CHOY CHOY!
I always believe that to be a mummy, the foremost criteria is to be Happy! You musnt stress yourself up with the nitty gritties leh. Maybe like you said, we can never be totally 100% ready or prepared. So just relax & enjoy pregnancy!
For me, I think I am not prepared emotionally & financially. Physically, we are at a suitable age. We both took care of 4 puppies by ourselves since 7 years ago. We handle everything A to Z about them and thus know all about proper care-giving to a vulnerable one and also the commitment on time & finances.
But I worry about my dogs too much at times. And thus I know I will be lagi paranoid when it comes to a human kid. And I always feel that having a kid is a very expensive affair. I told hb that I would only try conceiving if we have EXTRA 20K savings on top of what we have now. Maybe I am selfish still, I dont want to forgo my shopping, hairdo, mani/pedi, presents for dogs at this point in time still.
Wow! Petrina, you can really cook! So far hor...I can only manage this:
- Maggi Mee
- Eggs
- Luncheon Meat
- IKEA Swedish Meatballs
- Fried vegetables (normal, with oyster sauce)
- Campbell Soup
- Fish Fingers (Microwave)
So you see? Mine arent real cooking at all
Any simple Chinese dishes for 2-3pax intake?

kyra: ;-P i tot those foods r very common...
Of course convenience foods r easy, but no nutrients... actually those foods i cook have no recipe at all. Juz go wif the flow. All u need is the necessary ingredients. I din put any particular spices. Juz simple salt/pepper/light soya sauce/dark soya sauce/oyster sauce etc.. to the appropriate dishes...
My fav foods cooked r scallop pork porridge, corn/pork rib soup...
I can literally survive on the porridge for a wk... hehe...
The food i wan to takle is sweet n sour pork... Made it twice, taste horrible... I can't master tat dish... Sob sob... I love to eat this dish...

Hi cactus,
Heeh, dun worry so much.
Just take good care of yourself, enjoy being pregnant and look forward to seeing your cute BB!
Heard pregnant moms have this glow about them...comparable to a bride? Heehee...
Congrats Petrina!
Hehe, now you and cactus can exchange pointers here liao.
Kyra,
Cooking can be really fun. Try those stir fry dishes. Very simple. Like petrina said, the basic sauces also can cook out nice yummy dishes.
some easy to cook recipes are-
-Sauteed french beans (chopped onion, tomato and french beans)
-mixed vege soup
-al dente pasta (can be creative here and throw in diff types of ingredients)
-chicken stew (chicken, onion, potato n carrot)
Maybe I can email the cooking method to you and you can try?

shugar:
Yes, being preggy is good, but i looked fat in my gown - face n arms due to water retention n sudden gain in weight... Now more balance liao... The morning sickness started too late... haha...
I also like chicken stew... hehe same same cooking style... But hb prefer black sauce chicken...
I also love french beans... But i always have to *steal* my mom's sambal sauce to cook the sambal long beans... haha...
Hmm, pasta, so far i haven't managed to succeed in creating my own sauce. Been using convenient sauces... San Remo type...

Hey ladies.
My GDL just over too.Phew. Everything went on well.
Most headache is the guest list. Its seem to take forever..and now only 3 weeks away!
My parents and My IL keep adding on more and more people. Very frustrating. I keep telling them cannot add any further but they seem to ignore me! Say they have NO CHOICE.

Thanks!

Yes, like what the others mentioned, your mum & aunt will help take good care of her, so don't worry too much, ok? *hugs* Now, just take good care of yourself during your confinement. I'm sure with your hubby's love & support, you'll be ok. You can come in here to talk to us as we're here most of the time.
jhoo, enjoy your KL trip!
smilez, yes, I agree... if your tummy is big, it'll be unbalanced.. hehe... my aunt was like you.. when she was 8 months pregnant, her tummy also looked small.. but she is petite like you... now her son is very big sized! So I feel it doesn't matter so much.

Thanks for the encouragement... Hehe, yup i think my gal looks very mature... I din know that she is considered a big baby!
I will be sending the confinement lady home soon once my baby is discharged. Yesterday, i told her to brew some chinese medicine for me and we instructed her on the amt of water etcc...Gave her full instructions and still dun do it properly...
Now, i think i have to take care of Claire myself. Only problem is no one to cook! I told myself that i must be strong......
Smilez, now must rest more and also walk more.. Supposed to help in delivery but it dun work for me coz i got epidural! Hehehe!

Morning!
kaye, if your confinement lady is not good, it's better to send her home. Don't worry, you can take care of Claire, especially with your mum & aunt's help, everything will fall into place. Don't paisey, you can leave it to your mum one.. it's important you get ample rest during this time.
Sorry, but what's epidural? Trying to know more so next time I can be more aware.. hee.

Hi Belle,
Im hving the same fate as you. My PIL also kept adding tables which gave us headache. However, we managed to solve it. I guess we hv to explain to them that there's a max table the ballroom can hold. I'm sure they dont want their guest to sit uncomfortably that night right?
As for jiemei, guess total AP given by FH n i will be ard 80per pax. VG & PG im giving 28 each
