I remembered the previous page talking about coffee…
Used to take 3-1 coffee but since reading up and finding that it is unhealthy,I switched to drinking ground coffee from Cafe Direct.The ones from Costa Rica and Machu Piichu are nice.No sugar but just add a bit of fresh milk into my coffee,it is as nice as anything. -

...2months+ pregnant... gynae can't confirm whether the fetus is boy or girl below 4months.
Very true... Docs may know the gender (through the tests/examinations done in the early trimester) but they won't disclose it until the foetus is more developed. -

Well,I will verify again with gynae when i bring my wife to checkup again.lee_yl:

As for DD2,I think she needs constant reminders that she will be loved and not cast into the cold palace once both her younger siblings are born. -

sometimes, even after the fetus is developed, they still can't determine exactly!lee_yl:

At 2 months, the fetus is less than 10mm long, size of a tadpole only. -
Spent the whole day driving around with DD2 and explaining to her about the dynamics at home after her younger sibling/siblings are born.DD1 sat in the back seat but i knew she was listening as well although her eyes were on her smartphone.Noticed it when I peeped through the rear view mirror.
Guess what?DD2 told me that she was jealous of her younger siblings and does not want to lose my love for her as she was afraid that my wife and I will stop lavishing love on her and our attention will always be on the new additions.She just don’t want to share Daddy with anyone including zehzeh and want to be my little princess.She cried a bit too when she told me all these.
I told her that I will still continue to love her,Zehzeh and her new sibling/siblings equally.There will be no favouritism or preferential treatment among the siblings.
Shared to DD2 that my younger sister was born in late 80s when I was 6,understood her fears and worries as I was sidelined overnight by grandparents,parents and relatives when she was born. I grew up disliking my sister and we often fought and quarrelled until I left home to join the navy at 19.Told her that I do not wish to see her grow up and disliking any of her siblings.
Therefore,I assured her that our eyes are always on all our children and not on any individuals.
She brightened up a bit after my pep talk and we drove back to bring Grandma and Mommy out to eat Taiwanese style hotpot for Sat night dinner at Bt Timah.
Wife is also very busy with preparing test papers and some school admin work.Told her to drop everything and rest when she is tired.I will hide her notebook adapter sometimes in a bid to force her to rest.
Used to eat it when they were at Park Mall in the 90s but later folded and made a comeback 2 years ago.Loved their braised meat rice with mushrooms. -

she is very afraid you will divert your attention to the newborns. what you can do is include her in decisions regarding the newborns like names, choosing of clothes and still continue to bring her out on father-daughter dates.Guess what?DD2 told me that she was jealous of her younger siblings and does not want to lose my love for her as she was afraid that my wife and I will stop lavishing love on her and our attention will always be on the new additions.She just don't want to share Daddy with anyone including zehzeh and want to be my little princess.She cried a bit too when she told me all these.

if she had missed her menses for 40 days and pregnancy test kit shows positive, then she is pregnant.lee_yl:

my son's gender was known when he was 3 months old...for daughter, her gender was known only at 5 months+. -
The gynae told my wife that she is 2 and half months pregnant.By the end of this month,she is 3 months pregnant.Not sure of the actual details because I was not with her at the gynae.
She went through an ultrasound scan when I was in the US and that’s when she told me she was pregnant. -

I asked DD2 if she liked the names of her younger siblings and she liked them very much.All the names of the women in the house start with the first letter of the alphabet except for the only poor male in the house.Told her if time permits,we will go out on Sundays after school for shopping and meals at least for this year.Next year,they do not need to attend school on Sundays.Family time is easier to plan then.

She will not be forgotten and if they want,they might as well cut me up into 5 parts,4 for the children and one for my wife haha.
