nana1977 I salute u.

Ya it is a salt & pepper mini schnauzer, really mini cos shorter than 14". U can see alot of over size mini schnauzer out. So if u intend to get one check the origin. At 10 she is still very hyper active leh..... when she is allowed to roam the place run around the house like crazy...climbing the stair up and down. Thus far, muffin does her biz at the balcony.

U make me feel very guilty. Ever since the arrival of my children, i have spent lesser and lesser time with Muffin. Seldom play with her but only talk to her. No muffin, good girl, sit, wait etc..... bringing her out for jog, no way cos she can't keep up.

Surprisingly she didn't mess up the clothes. Only play with new papers when we are out the whole day.

My family big mah..... that few bamboo holes in the kitchen not enough for me. I have bought from IKEA those hang cloths , can open up one. Just nice place at the balcony to hang my children clothes.

No problem at all, cos most of the time the clothes are outside, either in the balcony or hang out at the kitchen.

Angel, u already said the kitchen is big. You can have the service balcony built at the kitchen area where the chute is. That split your kitchen, 1/3 for service balcony and 2/3 for kitchen.

See stress is the culprit in conceiving. I'm not trying to stress potential parents to be further but getting pregnant is just the beginning. U will be more stress up, tense up, anything u name it till the day baby arrived in this world. I had experience it myself when my wife first pregnancy had complication. She had to visit hospital for test twice every week from 20th week onwards to birth. I was in overseas for 3 month biz assignment when i got the news that something not right which potentially will lead to termination. I panic and got to seek my management approval to cut short the trip and return asap to give support to my wife. That's the day when the nightmare started, praying and hoping that baby will survive and develop normally. 17 weeks of living in worry/fear and keeping my finger cross till gynea said to c-sec and took baby out at 37th week. That's not the end of the story, my elder daughter went thru scan and therapy from birth to 1 year old. I'm praying that everything will go well for this 3rd one, wife's at her 20th week.

You can't operate your HDB house like a mini temple, noise and fuming created by excessive praying is not allowed. I had similar problem at my parent's place, we wrote in to HDB and they will deploy officer to investigate. HDB replied the family was running a mini temple with many prayers and ritual to perform every week day and they have informed the Indian family to cut down their praying from 5 times a week to 2 times a week, from 3 hours per session to one hour session. At least better then nothing, its a religion thing and it can't be stop but reduced. Not long they moved out too.

Yes, normally happens when age and put on weight. Should be a princess.

I knew how's the feeling like to wait and wait then in the end disappointed again. Why cos my gynea said my wife has something too many growing inside which give fake pregnancy, wife can have like auntie delay for 6 days but kit tested -ve. So there were many disappointment for us. Trust the test kit.

The test kit quite accurate, try again, better luck next time.

Fertility check for men is not that expensive, less than 50, u need to get your wife gynea to read the result to you, so the doc can recommend the right supplement. Women fertility check is more complex usually ultra-sound scan from under.

My option is pretty clear, if cannot find good caregiver, I will employ my wife as a home maker I have got 2 girls, if this one is also a girl, then there will be a lot of passing down, kind of save some $$.

Actually i wanted only 2, but my wife wants another one. She has the wombsville(borrow ya) so what she said counts.

Feeling is fantastic, probably because it is the 3rd time i'm not overly excited about it but was surprised that i can feel it at 16th, maybe because of the 2 experiences i had earlier.

16th weeks. Just last night, I can feel the little one moving inside when i placed my palm over my wife's stomach.

First trimester is ok to travel, only towards the end of 2nd trimester where stomach is getting bigger then it is advice not to travel unless with Doc endorsement. SWINE..... u still have to go cause everything pay for unless u r willing to give it up. Did u buy travel insurance? Can claim or not?

Pregnancy confirmation don't have to see GP, test kit will do. But it is kind of exciting to see on the 7th week the heart beat and the baby like a miniature bean from the ultra sound scan.

GP where got machine to do ultra sound scan???? GP will probably refer u to KKH or any GOV link hospital. Private gynea will have scan upon first visit. KKH probably don;t have the scan until about 5 months where need to do a detail growth scan. Price wise not much diff between private and gov, unless u r a civil servant where there is huge rebate otherwise go private shorter waiting time and better "service".

Congrats ya. Yes book appt with gynae but i will suggest somewhere around week 7 to 8, that's the time where u can see and hear the heart beat, major development for that week. If too early, see nothing, only one oval dot to confirm pregnant that'all/

4 room should be around 600 plus and diamond cut plus all the steps.... 1200 is chop carrot. Frankly, I agreed that it is really messy for broken marble and old design but it will last and easy maintenance. To replace or not depends on how deep your pocket is. For me i will make do with it if no budget. If have budget, replace it with full marble.

Agreed with you on special cases where some need to travel and probably meet less often will have to make plans. But like you said, stress is the killer. How often you plan and u will get it? When u plan u will sure to stress up. Making thing worst, some women has irregular period(due to stress?) so regular counting doesn't applied. That's why i said not to count, just do it.... and how often u do it also makes a difference. Like for my case i travel too due to work and it can be like 6 months not in town, we went holiday to make babies, count dates, do all sort of things. Nothing came, probably because of stress. But when u don;t think about it, first one came, then the 2nd. Stress not only affect women, men also.

It only takes one good sperm to do the trick. Stress is the killer..... so don;t get stress up.

Those trying can forget about counting the dates, just do it when the mood is right. No stress no nothing, enjoy and you will have it when the time comes. Good luck ya.
