Walk a lot k. Heard it's good for smooth(er) labour.

Sure or not? Last time, DD1 took forever to come out leh. And I walked to supermarket and clinic frequently. Also cleaned house everyday. Now, tired already by afternoon. Cannot wait to go home and lie down cos back aching. After dinner lagi worse, cannot even walk properly cos leg muscles give up already. :snooze:

[buds]

Mebbe must walk further.. :lol:


I brought DD1 to toddle-walk at Changi Airport's
viewing gallery and followed by chill out at Swensens
there while waiting for DD2 to pop out. That too bearing
in mind my giganormous feet from all that water retention. :shock:

DD2 came out fast and furious. 1 hour oni.

Hi KopiYing,


Are you a teacher? Hee, enjoy spending time with your ds now, when no2 arrives, you won't have the time to be bored

Bingo!

My boredom is not able to meet up with friends etc like before. Coz got a maid and if hubby not at home I gotta be around to monitor.

By the way, what is DS, DD1 etc?

DS is Dear or Darling Son so I think you can guess what is DD and what the 1, 2,3 etc stand for. (DH = Dear/Darling Husband)

Hi-5! Was on NPL for 2+yrs before I finally tendered last Dec So no maternity leave for no2?

Hey, you still have maid! I'm the maid so you can imagine---No time for boredom cos almost zero \"Me\" time! :stupid: But things are getting better now that kids are older :celebrate: .

Looking forward to buds kind of SAHM life when my kids go pri

Hi buds

[KopiYing]

Yup no maternity leave even I go back in 2010. Wah u quit ah? I was hoping to go back to work coz really not used to staying at home. I need to keep a balance, till now I'm still trying to adjust though I've taken 1.5yrs of NPL. Probably been working for 16 years already. Gotta abort the plan for open posting coz found out I'm preggy in beg Jun :oops: So gotta extend for another year.


I need a maid coz having No 2 and due in early Feb. Even not preggy I find it soooo tiring looking after son. Maybe I'm approaching 40 that's why...sigh...Initially i also thought I cld do it on my own but my son only sleeps for 1/2 hr or so though he's only few mths old. Buay tahan lah.

I'm also taking my masters so tentative is the arrangement is like that. And yes, I REALLY hope my children grow up fast!

I gave up my ML too :stupid: Only found out I'm preggy with no2 after I applied for NPL. Enjoying my time with no1 so rejected P's offer to go back 3mths before due date. I missed my job too but really cannot balance family with job Tried part-time, but more like half pay, 3/4 load. :x

I actually applied for NPL bcos of no1, sleeps little and needs middle of night feeds all the way to 2+yo. Super tiring! Too sleep-deprived to be up at 5+ to get ready for work

Wow, by distance-learning? I'm also keen to take up some course next yr. Enjoy spending time with my kids at home, but don't want to end up a \"yellow-face\" housewife. :!:

If your gals are okay with friends or neighbours... you can actually work out some play dates. For example when your friend or neighbour is planning a nite out with their spouse, they can leave their children to play with yours. And when you are planning a night out with your hubs, it's vice versa... your children will get to stay over their place for a couple of hours. If the children still have grandparents, there is also a choice for them to have a sleepover and when they fall sound asleep, you and hubs can tip-toe out for a midnight show and short supper till early morning. This wud work best for children who sleep like logs and for Fri & Sat nites where it won't cause a hangover from lack of sleep to go to work the following day.

It took me some time to get there. But it will happen and CAN happen if you work towards it. It takes small efforts to get to the big results.

Small steps include efforts from both parties. For example, i had both girls in same afternoon session (during kindy days) and when hubs occasionally takes those surprise half day leaves, we go out together for tea and movies. Yet, in time to fetch them from their transports.

Mum_2Gals:

Hi buds

Haaaaaiii, Mum_2Gals.

jedamum:

Yup. Still...

Buuuutttt... :evil:
Doesn't mean we can't still be notty, rite? :lol:
Wake-up sessions are usually hush-hush kinda quickie.
It's a challenge to keep in hush down really. :lol: But it
is thus the reason why that makes it exhilarating. :evil:

Seconds are usually when EVERYONE has left for
work and school. So there's just the two of us in
one very quiet house to ourselves. And that's
when it can get pretty wild. :lol:
