MintyMin mei,


me very tired daily…have to work in office in the morning after sending the kids to sch. Lunch time need to bring DS2 home from cc then continue to work from home. And also need to boil soup, cook rice, do laundry daily etc. Then evening time gotta bring DS1 and DD home from cc. Get dinner ready for them and then take dinner, wash up, bathe them etc.

DH took a few days off to help but generally I have to be home in the afternoon to boil the soup and cook rice and also do the laundry. Dishes are ordered via tingkat. My kids do help with folding the clothes. Need to do laundry almost daily as they have so mucn clothes to wash. SIgh.

I have engaged part time helpers for heavy duty hsework. Now I cannot stand for too long. Like I stand to wash up the dishes after meal time, after a while my back will start to ache.

Thanks for your concern! I will rest more when I can. DH offered to do the dishes but hor..you know men sometimes cannot make it one...takes his own sweet time to do things. I dun have thermal pot, prefer to boil for 2-3hrs. As for dishes, it's order via tingkat so it's ok.

Just that without another pair of hands to help, I gotta make sure the kids' bags are packed daily for their school, make sure I wash up after their breakfast before sending them to sch...more time needed..

Ah.. ic ic.. i totally get wat u mean.. i was like tat too when i was maidless for 6mths.. almost died.. as i was very particular abt cleanliness, tidiness, etc.. n the list goes on.. but u c.. if we choose not to ignore, den we haf to suffer more.. so end up.. more tiring for us..
As for ur case.. since u r preggie.. i feel u shld lighten down ur standing n instead more resting if possible.. We r all 'SUPER' women.. so we can do it! Take care tigger jie..

Hello fellow buddies... coming after long time... have been quite busy with the work these few weeks..


tigger88 please do take care and yes u must rest now since its gonna be soon.....
though I would also prefer to do the work till the end so that the delivery can be smooth.. did the work till the end day for both my preg...

Thanks LKVM, will take care...i also prefer to be active so that delivery will be smooth...but hor..the 2 times natural deliveries that I went thru (DS1 was via c-sec) were long and painful labours...mainly due to DD and DS2 are in op position...so I hope for this round, bb will be in optimal position so that delivery can be smooth. :xedfingers:
