Hope that Brig gets well soon. Maybe the HFMD virus was not that strong or this his body already have the antibodies to fight the virus hence this time round he can recover so fast?
For the CC, guess you just need to give him more vitamins to boost up his immunity!
Tiffy
I also think Milo is ok, as for cold drinks in general, a lot of older people will advice against it but I am one of those that never listen as well!! :-) In our weather, watever will make us better and have a better appetite, just do it as to me, it's better to eat something than nothing!!

Hi mummies! just a quick one before mea wakes up from her nap...she's stirring oredi!!
dodo, glad that Zq is back to his normal self now!!! was so worried for u all...even my hb was worried when i told him about zq...hope that your fever is gone too, prob it's coz you reduced the frequency of pumping yah...
Zhen_zhen, I already made up my mind to stop teaching for a while, after this year. But dunno whether to go for no-pay leave or ust resign. NPL means I can keep my current officer grade and pay scale when I return to work, but there are certain conditions i think...like can't work elsewhere etc...but I wanna work part-time, so that may not be the most ideal arrangement...must go find out...
Twinkle_stars hope u are ok now, dun blame urself ok? u were just being responsible. incidentally i was thinking of u when i was at the IT Show. Wondering whether you were working or not, and hoping that you weren't...
Jovialz, CONGRATS!!!! hehehe..quick go to the gynae once u r back...
OK the princess is UP!!!! gotta run babes...take care, esp the preggy mummies!!! |

Good Afternoon, Mummies.
Sneaked in here to peep!
Congrats Congrats to Jovial. Seems like so many 2nd time preggie mummies here now.
Happififi,
Woohoo...... counting down to seeing Keagan. All the best and rest well.
Twinklestar,
Looks like you are doing fine now and arranging for discharge. Must relax and rest well too.
Tiffy,
Understand your craving and shiokness. I used to get shiok with Coke and tom yum soup. Enjoy and indulge without guilt!!!
Chris,
Really sad to hear Brig is down with HFMD. This is really worrying. Take care of yourself too.
Junnie,
Hope Lance is better now. Lucas and Andrea also wheeze at times and Lucas is on inhaler now. Just wondering, what is the difference between neubiliser and inhaler? |

hi mummies!
hapi_fifi: how are you? tomorrow is the day!! but again has to depend on keagan.. hehe
chris: oh dear, not sure if tats HFMD but good that the spots disappear fast! need to ask the cc to clean up the place more often and more stingent in the checking of kids before they let them attend school?
karrie: think its would be better to try for NPL? cos like got secure a job for u when u decide to return to workforce.. unless u are v sure teaching is no longer the thing for u, then just quit and try some PT jobs during ur SAHM stint to see which area u are interested in.
tiffany: how are you? started ur new job for sometimes already? location still ard town?
tiffy: when im preggy. everyday must have at least 2 cups of milo! hahah. but i drank them hot lah cos thats the wayi like it. and yes like hippo, i drank LOTS of coke too.. ice cold one haha. very shiok! |

Hi ecookies,
I am fine. Thanks for asking. I am quite settled in now and working near Plaza Sing. I do like my current Company and job scope and the flexibility... hehe.. talk more when we have chance. heheh..
How is motherhood to 2 kiddos? We should brag about it one day.. I find it tough compared to having only 1. Preggie mummies, dont be frightened by my statement hor, different mummy and different kids, circumstances are different too... |

Cherie bear,
I took my last dose of salbutamol at 11pm last night. Started having contractions around 4am (indeed the magic moment!). Nurse did VE & I was about 2cm dilated around 5plus am. Took a quick shower before proceeding to Delivery Suite. But till now still 2cm leh, not much progress. Gynae told me to start walking around. So my waiting game continues for now :-) |

Jas,
That sounded ok lah, 2 times per year is not too much though of course we prefer no day off at all. yes, better to have a happy than sulky maid..
Hapififi,
All the best! Jia you! You did it!!
Chris,
Poor brig. He confirmed kena HFMD the 2nd time? But from what you told us, seems like this time round it’s not that bad. Guess he got some kind of immunity to HFMD. |

Mummies,
I’m so zombified today.. hubby on reservist this week till next Wednesday and he didn’t come home yesterday and tonight not coming home also.. I hardly slept yesterday night.. Naia woke up for milk at 12 plus aria at 2 plus and naia again at 4plus and aria woke up at 6 asking milk again! And making hell lots of noise.. So angry.. quickly bring Naia out to sleep in living room.. Recently she’s really getting out of hand…V v demanding.. She was throwing tantrum and I scolded her and that’s it, she asked for daddy and demanded to call him. I said no and she cry and cry and cry. I ignore her and kept insisting NO. So, on and off she cried for 1 hour!!! BTH man…In the end I showed her you tube video of her favourite song “ I don’t know much but I know I love you” from my iPhone and she calmed down.. I really find it funny how engross she can be watching this MTV..haha.. it’s such an adult song but she really like it a lot! Even can sing a few sentences here and there..haha… Anyway, tonight another nightmare for me.. arrhh….
Really envy dodo with such a gwai ZQ ah! |

poor thing.. u must be very sleepy and tired now! hope ur hubby back home from reservist soon! i dread when hubby need to go outstation, one-man show is no joke!
oh gal, u dun have to envy me.. zq is quite a bad temper boy at times.. same like aria, when he woke up at midnight, the 1st person he look for definately papa.. when he came to our bedroom and couldnt see his papa, he would cry v loudly and wake up YA! he keep saying 不要妈妈， 要爸爸， 妈妈回家吃饭 （which i think implies me to get lost), so hurting right? i used "soft" and “hard“ approach all no use.. so i gonna keep singing all his favourite songs with funny tunes & actions to calm him down..
hope aria will be guai guai tonight! |

haa! dun wan! waste my money if buy the same toy.. :p
can make use of this opportunity to teach them to share and take turns.. so i taught them how to throw and roll THAT ball to each other, and my expression very kua zhang like they are playing in a soccer game.. only then they get excited instead of grouchy of THAT ball!
mummy of 2,
do u find that it's v challenging to achieve the total fairness treatment btw the 2 kids? esp when 1 of them still so young and may not understand our reasonings.. i usually ask them to take turns if they wan the same thing and start snatching, whoever got it 1st play 1st, then the other one got to wait.. but YA is too young to understand this so i always distract him wi other toys.. and when i did so, zq saw didi playing wi that toy he also wana play that, so another round of snatchin starts again.. im forever doing my role as mediator... so tiring! |

dodo: i always see u as an inspiration! hahah i really think u are already handling the 2 boys very well! if its me, think i will scream n shout everyday! when i go back to work, the childcare arrangemt for yr also very funny like his gor gor last time one. but i changed abit here n there to my advantage..hehe.
MIL will come up 2 days instead of 3 days now, namely monday and friday. so NO NEED to stay overnight LOL. then inbetween tue-thurs, will tabao yr n let him stay overnight at my mum's place for 3D2N like wat we did for yz last time..
somemore i got 4w ML left, so will take mondays off every other week. so MIL only come up 1 day for these weeks.
hah im so scheming.
but needed to preserve my sanity lah.
aria_jo: hope aria will be guai guai today. can ur maid help to prepare milk for aria instead of urself?
aria_jo/dodo: yah very sad to hear when yz wants papa instead of me. normally, hb and i will take 1 kid each and try to settle them in different rms ard 9pm so both can sleep at same time and we'll have peace in the house. so at times, when im trying to make yz sleep, he will throw tantrums and say he wants papa and not me. very sad to hear that.  though overall, yz still prefers me to hb ... |

Dodo/ecookie,
I’m sort of relief to hear that at times ZQ also like aria. actually, aria look for me most of the time at night and when it’s her bed time. Not really a very good thing..Just that sometimes when I scolded her, she will want daddy because daddy never say no to her… she knows that daddy give in to her almost everything!!! But mummy is not so easy..hehe… Actually I really feel very bad now because I made her cried so much this morning..in between her crying episodes, she apologized to me (knowing that I was really angry with her) because she wanted me to sayang her back but the pattern repeat again when I softened.. then when I was preparing to go to work, she was telling my maid, baby (her favourite doll) very notti, dun want to sleep and cry a lot. My maid ask her whom the doll resembles and she said “like me lah”… haha…. How innocent right? Really hope tonight she will be guai guai man…
Ecookie, yeah I did asked my maid to warm the milk for Aria. She also didn’t have good sleep yesterday cos I was carrying Naia in out my room :p Actually really thank god I have a maid to rely on. Else, I really don’t know how to survive the night man.. |

ecookie,
i also scream and shout everyday! esp towards zq, sometimes i feel v bad that i think my patience towards him running low..:p
well planning! kudos to u! such arrangement is good i think, everyone get some break from taking care of the lil one, not that tiring.. and when u/ hubby need to go for holiday/ away from him for a few days, yr also familiarise wi both grandmas and u can fangxin to entrust the bb with them
and same here, hubby and me settle them in different room for sleep at nights.. usually i will settle zq while hubby settle ya.. coz hubby drives zq to n fro sch everyday so they have some bondings, so he can bond wi ya when near bedtime.. zq prefers me to settle him to bed coz he wans me to read bedtime story and it's always the same book for half a year liao!!! daddy lousy at reading stories.. :p
but i duno why if he woke up in the middle of night, he definately look for his papa.. and push me away if i go over and attend to him..
aria,
haa.. she knows she behaves like her doll :p
then maybe u can tell her "tell baby to be guai guai, cannot wake up at night and keep crying, mei mei will wake up because of this.. promise not to cry ok and just tell mama what u wan, no more crying.." sometimes i very long winded, keep repeating the same thing to zq over n over again.. duno helps or not but i just keep chanting loh :p
ya man.. a good helper at night indeed help lots esp when u have small bb to attend to..
hapi fifi,
how are u now? hope everythg goes well!!! very excited for u!!! |

dodo.. u r sooo patient w the kids.. i'm practically 'shouting' @ them everynite esp when hb outstation! really bth.. they 4ever fight over toys!! i'll always ask zann to give in cos knwing lance's jus '3min hot' on the toy nia.. not really want to play w it.. if tis dont work, i'll confiscate the toy.. making both of them to knw they'll hv nothing if dun learn how to share.
ecookie.. wow.. u r a good planner indeed! at least can 'contro' ur MIL not to come over so often.. keke.. taking care of two is not difficult, is when the kids 'dun co-operate' then got 'headache'!
ariajo.. heng u still hv a maid.. i'm jus like 'siao cha boh' tis wk again cos hb outstation... everyday aft work, rch home must tk my dinner v fast.. settle zann to shower b4 my turn.. lance will usually come & 'gar-jiao'.. by then alr 8/9+pm.. then must nag @ her to do homework if not they'll b pouring toys all over the plc.... they'll skype w daddy b4 bedtime, then alr 11+pm.. drink milk, tuck them to sleep.. i then can do housechores...cant slp till 12+/1+..
mummies w two.. LET'S JIA YOU together.. we can make it one.. |

hapi fifi, you pop already???
dodo, junnie, ariajo, agree looking after 2 kids is really not easy. i'm blessed that hannah likes her mei mei, and likes playing with her. BUT she doesn't like deb's saliva on her or her things. she can also be quite rough, cos dunno her own strength. i am trying not to use the words "no" and "don't" when she's with deb, cos i don't want her to resent deb. but it's tough trying to phrase things positively. :P hannah seems to be regressing tho. she now likes sucking her fingers, after seeing deb doing it. sigh... |

zhenzhen: so cute of hannah to follow deb sucking fingers For my case,whenever Shanice sees Javen suck fingers,she will pull away his fingers & said Javen cannot suck thumb thumb. The next moment,u will see her sucking her own thumb. When we pull away hers & said Shanice oso cannot suck thumb,she will smile & continue. |

Hi mummies!
My most dreaded nightmare really came true. Started contractions around 4am & was about 2cm dilated. Was vomiting & shivering terribly around 4pm & was given epidural. But after 12hrs, still 2cm dilated. Keagan's heartbeat dipped low & was in distress. Ended up with emergency caesaren (GA). Thankully Keagan was born safely at 2.08kg (very tiny) & sent to NICU. Till now I still had no chance to see or carry him. Feeling rather miserable.
Can mummies who went thru caesaren share with me how to take care of my wound? What are the to-dos & not-to-dos?
Am I supposed to buy a binder to protect my wound? Thanks
By the way, I really wanna thank all of u fabulous mummies who went thru this 4 weeks of ordeal with me. U ladies gave me a lot of encouragement & strength to pull thru this! Big hugs to all. Muacks! |

Hapi fifi ,
Congrats !
If you Gynae apply those water proof dressing, you may bath (subject to your beliefs). Do rest more and cannot carry heavy stuff or walk too much. When you need to get up from bed, turn to your side and use your hand to push your self up (minimise using tummy muscle). These should help to prevent. The wound from opening.
My Gynae, massage lady both advised me not to do any massage during the 1st Two months as they say we'd cut thru 7 layers of flesh during delivery. Even if you avoid tummy area, any movement could still affect since flesh are all connected. There are some mummies who still went ahead thou.
I didn't buy any binder thou it might be helpful. |

hapi fifi, congrats on the safe arrival of keagan. good to know that he's more than 2kg! and don't feel upset about the emergency c-sect ok. most important is the well-being of mummy and baby.
the things jovial mentioned are impt. you've basically gone thru an operation, so you need to take the necessary precautions to let the wound heal properly. guess you also have to be careful when handling aidan, as our kids can get quite rough.
also, a binder is helpful, as the pressure reduces the pain. do you want? i can just pass you mine since i won't need it anymore. i could drop it off tmr, if you want. |

hapi fifi,
Congrats my dear! glad to know that both mummy & baby are safe!
gal, i understand that feeling as i went thru emergency c-sect before as well... but dun dwell on this ya, u see i was kena "cut" twice but im still doing great! haa.. it's just a method really, and u had done your best till date, u are a brave mummy! how are u feeling now? any side effect of the epi?
as for taking care of the wound, totally agree wi jovialz on the getting up from bed part, u gonna try to position yourself and minimise using tummy muscle as it can be very hurtful and prolong recovering period.. use ur hands muscles instead.. try not to walk upright initially if it hurts, bend ur body abit forward and walk slowly... and yes, binder is GOOD! wrap it tight so the pressure can reduce the pain.. ask the nurse to put it on for u so u know how to put on properly..
as for diet, many told me to avoid chicken but i ate that most coz my favourite during confinement is chicken wi rice wine!
as for breastfeeding, it's good if u put some cushions to support and as a barrier so Keagan will not press on the wound directly, or u can try the rugby method..
hugs to mummy & Keagan, both of u are brave warriors! |

hapi_fifi: congrats on the arrival of keagan!
you;ve done great for the past weeks right up to now! dun feel upset over the emergency c-sect. as dodo said, its just another method to deliver the baby. most imptly is both keagan n u are safe and sound now!
im sure he will be out of NIUC very fast. see, he is really more than 2kgs as all of us predicted. ur past weeks of bedrest have not gone in vain!
and ur hb is so sweet to upgrade you, you deserve it. i've heard from many that a binder really helps tons so remember to use it and also try to rest more so the wound can heal fast and well. |

zhenzhen: oh dear, i always use NO! and dont! with yz when it comes to dealing w didi. must learn to phrase my words positively from now on. :P
yz regressed abit previously asking us to make milk whenever he saw us making milk for didi. and he wanted to bring his smelly pillow everywhere when we didnt do so for outings! luckily now he reverted back to his normal self.. but i guess its quite common for tods to do so when there's a baby in the house.

WELCOME OUR LITTLE WARRIOR, KAEGAN & KUDOS TO OUR SUPER MUMMY, HAPI FIFI!
You both make it! I am so happy & touched by both of your determination. Good job, dear!!! Have you get to carry kaegan yet?
Oh ya, please get the binder. It does helps not only the protection of the wounds & also the back too. And also rem not to watch comedies or laugh, cos it will also hurt your wounds. hahahaha! That time when i had my 1st c-sect, i was watching a comedy, wau lau..really funny lor..then it was so painful but yet cannot stop laughing. Torturing man!
Twinkle star,
Dun bother to find out my LG thingy lah. You must must rest well k? Let go your work, be at rest..enjoy the remaining weeks of pregnancy! U deserve a break liao.
Junnie,
I can't stop giggling with Lance's mischieavous acts. These kids always like to perform multiple silly antics together in order to make us crazy isn't it?? hahaha |

Thanks everyone for your well wishes!
Jas,
still no chance to see or carry Keagan yet. Couldn't sleep well cos the PD came around 11pm to inform me that Keagan is having some lungs infection. Did x-ray & needed some tubing to provide oxygen. He's also on some drip & can't take milk yet. He might have to stay in nicu for a week or so, depending on his progress. Feeling very emo now. Can't help but feel very sad. Hopefully I can get off my bed soon & take a peek at my poor lil boy :-( |

Hapi fifi,
Sayang sayang! Big big hug to you k? I think if by afternoon you should be off the bed. But very very slowly k? ask the nurse to wheel you over to see kaegan?
We'll be all here praying for kaegan's speedy recovery k? Rem? Kaegan is a fighter. He will conquer all difficulties bcos of the LOVE & Power he receives. Hey! Start your positive chanting on him. Hold his lil hand when you see him. Tell him all the aunties here will support him all the way!!
Maybe later in the evening or tmr am will come over to visit both of you. u take care k? Dun think so much! |

Gd morning mummies...
hapififi, CONGRATS to the arrival of Keagan. Glad to noe he is over 2kg
Dun dwell on the fact dat u had e-caesarean. I had it too wif travis. I noe u will feel terrible but juz shrug it off ok? U r doing great. As for the wound, I did hav a binder previously. It helps wif the pain. U will hav to b on bed rest for 1st 1-2 days den nurse will ask u to try walkin for awhile. Dun walk for too long also. Agree wif Jovialz on the way to sit up. Try not to exert ur ab muscle. Might "trigger" the wound somehow. And of coz heavy things is a no no.
Like the rest of the mummies said, Keagan is a FIGHTER. He will b out of nicu in no time.
junnie, wah seh...hearin wat happened realli makes me 佩服 all mummies wif 2 kiddos. Its realli not ez to handle both at the same time. |

mummies,
I have a question. J developed a red swell under his eyelid and it has been around for a week. it looks like a swell with the eyebag but when I stretch his eye, it looks more like a rash.
any cream or lotion to apply that helps to relief the rash? J is not feeling any pain or discomfort but the 'swell' is disturbing me. |

re: swell
if its been ard for a wk, better to bring him c doc. It might b an eye infection though it doesn't bother him much. Doc might give eye drops to reduce swelling. |

Hi Happififi,
Came in to see if you have popped. Big Congrats to you. Dont worry much abt Caesarean, Binder is really helpful and minimise pain. I have gone thru twice Caesarean and no regrets. My gynae told me to walk more, but slowly. Apparently, he thinks that walking helps in faster recovery. I stood up to walk the minute the drip was taken off from my hand. Have you got off your bed yet?
Ohhh... I know how you feel about being heartpain, but I thought you should know what to expect as Aidan was born small too. How big was Aidan when he was born? I thot Keagan's weight is not too bad though. Both my kids were born 2.43 and 2.44, not very much bigger.
Pray that Keagan grows well and be healthy. Take plenty rest and dont get too stress.
Wow Twinkle,
Nice to see your post. Please please... I know you are a workaholic, but, health comes 1st.. Take good rest and take it easy now.
haha... Lucas is nice name mah... kekekke... Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung's elder son also Lucas!! So, its Garina and Lucas!!!
When I deliver Andrea, my room-mate elder son also Lucas.. haha... so, we had 2 Lucas running around making lots of noise and disturbing the 2 newborns.
Jas...
Wahahha.. you so funny with your comedy story... you sure know how to relax after birth mann....
Aria,
Both your girls milk feed in the middle really reminds me of my both kids. I think this is a phase, just ensure you feed them alot in the day, to minimise them waking at night. Everyday, my fingers will be crossed that they will sleep thru!!!
Understand it's tough when hb not in, hang on girl, this will build up your stamina and you will become more independent, okay.....
Jovial,
CONGRATTTTTSSSSSSS. |

Dodo,
Ya.. I am also like siao cha bo, screaming almost everyday at the kids when the fight or misbehave. How I manage... I will also confiscate the toy if they do not share. Alternatively, I will ask them to count to 10, then pass on, if they do not listen, I will tell them I will confiscate it. Usually, they will guai guai listen. Many time, also have to whipped out the cane or use naughty corner to threathen them. I know this is very tiring to be the mediator, but, this is the way all mummies have to go through bah. Girl, I believe you can do it, there are many ways to do it, just that which method you want to adopt.
I am also learning everyday, hopefully the kids will learn from there too. |

Tiffany,
Aidan was born 2.175kg & Keagan 2.08kg.
Aidan's case was really a miracle bcos despite being preemie, his lungs were well developed & he only needed to stay nicu overnight for observation. I could carry & latch him on the next morning.
As for Keagan, he has lungs infection & currently on antibiotics & drip. He has tubes stuck to his nose to facilitate breathing too. His breathing is so hard that I can see his chest moving up & down vigorously for each breath he's gasping. Just now he was crying so pitifully in distress & the nurses took more than 15min to calm him. Really heartpain.
He can't drink milk yet. I've started pumping to stimulate my breasts. So far no milk yet but I've wasted quite a bit of colostrum, which I used to rub on my nipples instead :-(
so although both my boys are preemies, their conditions vary very differently. Aidan was discharged same day as me, but this time round, Keagan might have to stay on in nicu longer for observation |

Hapi Fifi,
Congra!!!
U did a great job for hanging on so long. Keagan will be fine, he just need some little extra helps in his initial stage. It must be v heartpain for you to see him at the current stage, but with the correct medical intervention, he will be fine. The nurses are well-trained in the NICU unit. Remember to be postive so that u will GENERATE POSITIVE ENERGY to HIM!!!!
Maybe check with the nurse if u can carry him for a while, with the mummy presence, he will feel more secure.
My friend given birth to a boi with similar condition, he will growing well and chubby... dun worry. |

Hapififi!! Congrats on Keagan's arrival!!! you've made it!
every baby is different, but I'm sure Keagan will recover in no time ok? so heart pain to read about what Keagan is going thru now, but babies are more resilient than we think, and I'm sure he's going to be a little fighter and the antibiotics will kill off the infection quickly!!
In the meantime, just rest lots...can u keep the colostrum in glass bottles first? the nursery can keep it chilled for u, if Keagan can drink milk in the next couple of days, at least it's there?
huggs and love to you and K! Will keep you both in my prayers :D
Junnie, aiyo Lance is so hilarious...dunno wanna laugh or cry rite...hahaha. you are my inspiration....!!!
ecookie, yahloh i was thinking NPL is good cos at least i dun need to waste time looking for a job when i wanna return full time to the workforce. i still like education sector the most, but I dunno if I wanna stay on in MOE...things are improving there but there are some things I don't quite agree with...so mebbe go to private education sector and see how first. Might try for a position in Chintz's company if they need editors *winks at Chintz*
cherie_bear, no i'm not weida...in fact i wanna try my best to let my maid stay on and work for us, cos i hate doing housework lor :P but must see if budget allows.
Twinklestars, good that u managed to get HL! must rest more ok? Did dr say when u likely to be discharged? I have to find time to pass u the glass bottles! |
