Hey lilac!
Sollie..everytime I click 'Last 12 hours' I nvr see this thread leh
Err..I have not bought any baby stuff yet!! Can you believe it?? The only thing I did was balk at the prices of cots and breast pumps So expensive!! Well, all the ones I liked were expensive..hehe.
Next appt with OB is on 1 July....will be almost starting my third trimester by then. Fast man. Seemed like just yesterday we found out that we're expecting. Now..only 3.5 mths to go before she arrives. Kinda scary, but we're looking fwd to it. So far I've gained 8.5kg, but still don't look that big. Think belly size will accelerate from 7mth onwards.

Hi lilac!
Yah, I have so many colleagues giving birth ard the same time as me! We were joking that we'll see each other all in 2007..heheh. At least 3 others will be giving birth in Oct! Our colleagues will hafta come out with alot of $$ for baby gifts..hahha.
I think the wt gain is normal. Doctor didn't say I was gaining too much..so should be alright lah They say usually in 2nd trimester will gain ard 2kg per mth..so far I'm on track lah. Last nite ate $3 wanton mee still hungry man! Jialat. Must control. Luckily I'm not the sort who will just let go and eat and eat and eat..if not prob 20kg by now
Yah, I'm looking at essential items for now..like furniture, breast pumps, bottles. Clothes too...pretty clothes..not so soon lah. Saw so many cute dresses in Mothercare. That's the thing abt having girls..more fashion choices..also means more money spent I was telling my hubby..should stick to more generic looking clothes..in case hv boy next time..can pass on..haha.
I haven't really thought about the giving birth part. Not very scared...yet The women I talked to..they say by then you're just so eager to get the kid out, you don't really care abt the pain..just wanna get it done and over with!
How...your wedding plans..got make any progress or not?

yes i often see baby girls so prettily dressed up....and their clothes r so trendy as well but of cos baby gals clothes r more expensive loh....imagine they outgrown them so easily...hee wat a waste...
haha u not thinking of buying ur gal only a nice little dress for cny and other times wearing some generic pattern clothes ba?? but is true tat for practicality sake, unisex plain cotton clothes is the best....
ok so u r not the type who will take tis opportunity to hv all sorts of craving and make hb go all the way to get one mee poh kind....good for u so u dun hv much prob getting back into shape
gd for u hving ur maternity at end of the yr so u will come back to office only in the new year! ya man guess when u r in labour ur only thought will be to get over with IT fast! haha

Wah..moving house this mth...only 1 week left to the month..how many % completed liow? I hate moving house man..clean, pack, move, unpack, clean, put away..yucks! When I was younger, parents kept moving like once every 2 yrs...sis and I had phobia man
I do have cravings, but they're not that extreme. So far, I never make my hubby do such things lah..quite poor thing If I continue to have craving for that item during the weekend, then we'll go out and get it..but most of the time, the craving wld be gone by then My colleague had really bad cravings...die die must eat kind...and she ate alot. Can eat 1 big packet of noodles and 1 big packet of carrot cake for lunch..and she'll finish it all by herself. Scarrry.
She will probably get some girly clothes lah..but we'll try to keep it as neutral as possible Of coz things like skirts and pretty blouses..no choice...those definitely can't pass on to baby boy, unless we want to seriously mess him up

Hi lilac!
No lah, we didn't move to bigger n bigger houses each time...some of the houses were under rental agreements, hence we didn't stay put for long. Think my folks wanted to experiment living in different types of houses Only have not lived on landed property yet. So far, I've stayed in HDB, condo, walk-up apartment. Everytime we moved, we threw alot of things away! I can understand your going thru 20 yrs of belongings...been there! We also take each move as an opportunity to clear out all those unwanted items..dunno keep for what
I think I still have my year books too! Somewhere in my cupboard
Yah, my hubby's lucky. Before I got pregnant, I already told him that he cannot give in to my whims and fancies lest I end up ballooning into a whale! So now, if I say 'I wanna eat this crap', he'll go 'you sure u want? Become as big as a whale how?'..that usually kills my craving...ha ha. Should try it next time when you're pregnant Yah, I got myself a cot, play pen and diaper/bath station over the weekend. Delivery's in late Aug, so still have time to clear room for her things

Hi lilac
Nice to hear from ya again! How's things with you? Yup, the last nine months went by in a flash! Life's gonna turn upside down pretty soon ;P Well, looking fwd to my 3 mth break from work. Granted I will be working at home (being a slave to baby), but it will be much more fulfilling..and probably more aggravating Was watching Discovery Home and Health yesterday ... it was a documentary about handling toddlers...wah...some of those kids..really can drive you nuts! But their parents still love them, so it can't be all bad..keke.

Hi lilac
So I guess your house moving went swimmingly? Are you staying there all the time now?
Well, I'll let you know what being a mommy is like lah Do you and your hubby plan to have kids in the future? I've nvr thought of myself as the mommy type....don't hv a maternal bone in my body (i'm the sort who wld 'siam' whenever people try to thrust their babies into my arms)..dunno what made me change my mind in the end..maybe the ticking biological clock thingy is true!

everything has been smooth...we took abt 2-3 wks to pack up and settle in....place is not fully occupied...still many empty units...guess it will take some time to fill up....
haha sure sure update me! well if i dun hear from u for a while, i know u r in delivery! hmmm actually me and my husb r not into kids type lah....most probably becos we prefer a non-baby lifestyle...also our new hse is not baby-proof..as in we nvr take 'baby' as a consideration when planning layout, furnitures etc...hahah i know such things still can be changed later on.....for the time being dun tik baby is on our mind....such things leave it to nature lah!

Hi lilac
Hah..talking abt baby proofing..think my house is a baby hazard! So many stairs, sharp corners etc....think I'll go mad making sure she stays safe My hubby's the one who's into kids, not me. He's very good with children, whereas I tend to avoid them where possible But it'd be different with my own kid lah. I actually enjoy the feeling of being pregnant..it's indescribable...esp when you feel their kicks and squirms. Also, it's good that I've had a fairly easy pregnancy. Apart from my first trimester morning sickness, and aches and soreness in the last mth..things hv been going swimmingly. I know some people who hv morning sickness thruout the 9 mths..wow, can't imagine how torturous that must be!

im sure u and ur hubby will raise ur girl well...gee haha im feeling excited for u now too!
Morning lilac
Hmm...personal fulfillment? Not yet leh..maybe coz haven't seen her in person yet. Think I feel worried most of the time..wondering if she's ok, whether she's growing well...we'll prob spend the rest of our lives worrying about our children! Now raising kids is even tougher...they're smarter and tend to be more independent...hope she doesn't become some naughty wise guy type

ok alhana, i guess after giving birth and starting your routine with the new role, u will feel the fulfillment coming!
i hv a gal frend whose lifestyle change for the 'better' after hving a kid...i tik she somehow grew up...no more late nites out/less drinking/less smoking....also a child is jus not like a pet....u cant just pass it to someone else like discarding old clothes...my frend is tiking of giving up her doggy as she finds it tough to give the pet its equal share of love and care after a baby comes into her life.....
also the financial commitment to raise a kid...it is so expensive to raise a child in sg!! hahah i guess im not prepared for such responsibilities! u r right abt worrying abt them...cos there r consequences to bear for all their actions....
hee i hope u dun find me sound too negative...but it is jus my thoughts lah! told u im not into kids liao hahah....see all e excuses tat i can find!

Hiya lilac
Guess what..the morning i sent that post...I was in labor a few hrs later I've given birth! Was in labor since Thu morning but my daughter chose to wait till 22 Sep to come into this world. She waited till the 8th lunar mth, like I asked her to..haha. But me the mommy had to go thru a loooong labor. Had a natural delivery w vacuum and epidural. Now my butt hurts like hell due to the episiotomy stitches and hemorroids. Ugh.
Now trying to get the hang of nursing. Not easy man. She keeps falling asleep and I hv no idea if she's getting anything. Stress!
K lah..will write more later on. Have to wake the princess up soon for a feed.

Hi ladies
Sorry for not popping by in awhile
Baby girl is 2 mths old already! Her sleeping schedule is becoming predictable. She's capable of sleeping thru the nite now...even if she wakes up, it's usually once only. So we can get more shut eye now
She's a cutey..smiling alot and making baby sounds.
Lilac
Epidural actually helps wipe out the pain. So if ure scared of pain, just opt for it..dun think so much..haha. Contractions are like very very painful menstrual cramps. But once they administer the epi, you don't feel anything..really.
Sigh...am almost thru 2/3 of my maternity leave. So fast. Before i know it, it'd be back to work again. SIAN.

so you're one year my senior
bookshop auntie is the same lady i think. but the bookshop is now under the staircase, next to dentist. under where the uniform groups rooms were.
i think the teacher thought i was trespassing. even when i said i was an old girl, she still didn't allow me to go in to gia gia. i had to sneak in :S
