:congrats: Buds!

So this one is boi too? How nice 2 boys and 2 girls :love:

Thanks, dearie! :hugs: Yes. It's another boy! You got it right. 2 elder ones are girls n 2 younger ones are my boys. :please:

Sun_2010:

Take care of yourseld too dear -
even wonder women like you need some snooze and lots of TLC

Yes I will. I need to fully recover as quickly as possible so I can be in tip top health n shape to now care for n divide my time over four kiddies, the cooking, the house n of cos the man.

Now the snooze part... I am drained out exhausted! :faint: I'm like paying back a hundred years of sleep that I've been missing out on and it feels soooo good. I don't get woken up for milk.. for bad dreams.. for school runs.. for anything, except for alternate bf-ing (my boi is slightly jaundiced due to diff blood type) which gives hubs in between breaks to catch up on rest. I cannot recall already the last time I've gotten un-interrupted sleep. :idea:

For now, I sure loooiiike (really love+like) sleeping... :evil:
I'll enjoy this sleeping pattern for as long as it lasts... :please:

Gong xi... Gong xi! :celebrate:

:please: Xie-Xie! :please:

kids_r_innocent:

I have saw ur posts on a few occasions but never really taken the chance to \"talk\" to you.

Me too, dear. I know u are not that active in the forum but you do post in a few on and off. We have crossed threads to chat before but just not that much laa.. I more talkative mah..

kids_r_innocent:

It's really nt a easy feat to take care of 3. U muz be the \"wonder woman!\"

Not too bad with three cause elder two quite big and usually very independent already after all the training. Wonder woman I'm definitely not but just getting by nia. I get a lotta help from hubs. :love: That's a big thing for me especially since the children belong to both of us... not just mine alone. So is the house. So everyone of us have shared responsibilities that helps everyone get by.. We need to work together since we don't have any external support from family / in-laws or a domestic helper.

kids_r_innocent:

One of this days, I muz learn from u on how to \"stay happy\" with so many children ard in ur hse! :siam:

Key is to keep things simple, I suppose.

Here are a few we usually go by to keep our lives in check and sanity in place.
In no order of importance..

1. We don't have that many expectations.
2. Live simply.
3. Count our blessings no matter how small.
4. Remember to appreciate one another (children included).
5. Keep the love alive. Keep reminding.
6. End every night with hugs, kisses and I love you's...
7. Communicate.

As for the sooo many children part. Share with u something...

DD2 : Mom, u haven't had your period for some time. Are u pregnant? Again?

After gynae appt...

DD2 : See mom? I was right. :slapshead: Do u know the nursery rhyme abt the woman who had so many children?

Me : So u are saying I'm old and we live in a shoe? :rant:

Thanks for your wishes...
See u around... :imanisland:

Wow, Congratulations Buds! So unexpected, you kept the good news so well! Take care!

[smartmummy]

Hi buds!

:congrats:
:udawoman:
have a good rest.now ur eyes cannot strain by reading.can reply lately.i know with kids we cannot take complete rest,but try ur best.

[kids_r_innocent]

Thks for taking the time to reply though u r in confinement now. Hope ur hubs is able to take leave to help u out? :xedfingers: I can empathize how tiring it is without help during confinement. How about ur food during this period? Hope all have been taken care of liao.


By the way, how old is ur 1st chub boi now? Intending to get a helper since u have another baby now?

Haha.. U r the da jie in this forum yae. I have been MIA for some time coz I was busy with my kids n housemaid and cook....the list goes on lah, u noe! But decided tat I shld take a break on n off now, and come to this forum to share and rattle :evil:

Thks for ur tips and advise. We r both in the same boat; no help from my in laws. :hi5:

We seemed to \"hold\" those golden pts u have pointed out but maybe both my hubby and myself r too strict and impatient. So we tend to lose it out when it comes to handling our kids; our kids seem to be those whiny and clingy types too :frustrated:

Have a gd rest meanwhile and hope to chat again with u when u have the time :hugs:

:rahrah: :congrats: :rahrah:


Surprised but really salute your courage on having a 4th one

Your kids are very blessed to have a mummy like u :boogie:

:udawoman:

Surprised is an understatement my fren... I was SHOCKED! (when I found out!) :yikes: Courage? I didn't have that either. I was scared outta my wits! :scared: I had a challenging pregnancy and birth with buds_chubs... my #3... and if I add up age with what I had to go thru, you can say I was resigned to just accept it. But I was very :nailbite: cept I didn't show it. As usual, trying to be positive.

I'm over the moon with my cosy brood of three as I was enjoying chubs a lot! :please: He's sooo cute and playful. He makes me \"feel\" young. The girls are quite independent as well. Not sure how chaotic it'd be with four now (when without hubs around), but I'll try to get by hopefully.

Yah.. they better know how fortunate they are! :rant:



Thanks for dropping by with your congratulatory wishes. I appreciate it. :snuggles:

PS. Your DD2 shud be about two or three years already now right?

Hi buds, congrats on your new addition. Been staying away from most threads but so happy to hear the WONDERFUL news.

Hey ya there hquek! :imanisland: Thank u for your wishes. :please:

While I hardly post much I do still read. Your sharings at Rental Questions and All About Maids and many other maid threads are REALLY helpful. I may be considering to get one if my decision to go back to work firms up. Otherwise like you I stay away from hardcore threads cos too depressing to read especially when I was pregnant many months ago. The old KSP kampong days were still the best days I remember till today which explains why I still linger despite some old wounds. Those who hv left forum do still keep in touch with me as well. They're those who've given up coming here entirely.

Wonderful news, yes. Baby news always nice yah? Especially if the mother survives through the ordeal. Birthing experiences vary between children but the fact remains that each time we're in the delivery suite, we are fighting for two lives to come out of it intact. Each time I do fear as I may not know if I will come out of it alive. So they say... before delivery, trash out everything.. apologize for anything.. thank for everything.. score board goes zero amongst people you love and care about so you can go in with a peace of mind. I didn't have time to do all that settling everything this time round but I did recall hubs holding my hand n hearing him say \"I'm here and I love u, baby..\" n kissed my forehead before the moment... so I guessed \"that\" moment settled everything bah. :please:

Chat with u agn sometime, dear.. hope you n the boys are doing great. :love:

No worries. I had Mark for lunch buddy and ZacK for dinner, how cool's that? :evil: I notti... purposely tried to spread baby magic dust to both of them. ZacK of course is a natural hand at this baby thing. The baby stopped crying the minute he picked him up. Even my girls were impressed! Of course, they both left with many many 4D number permutations. Good luck, bros!

No problem la sista. You know where to find me... :love: Schweppes couldnt make it either so mebbe you two babes can pakat together and chillax over my crib, just lemme know when.. looking forward to it! :please:

Eh, confinement time can eat ice-cream anot arh? :rotflmao:
