Esp your longer posts. Have to find the right time to read them.<BR/>Those teleconferences are tough and boring.. That’s a good time to go blog hopping!<BR/><BR/>LB,<BR/>When I’m caught in a boring call, blog hopping is therapeutic! The speed of me reading blogs very much depends on how many boring calls I have in a day. Haha.<BR/><BR/>Vien,<BR/>Aaah.. American fetus.. that’s a good analogy.<BR/><BR/>Eve,<BR/>I think your case is worse than mine.. Luckily I can still eat, but food just doesn’t taste as good as it used to.<BR/>Poor you.. and poor hubby, for having to sleep on the floor.<BR/>When I get bigger, I may want him to sleep on the floor though, just like what I did when I have Zara. 8months onwards, he slept on the floor, because there’s really no room in our queen size bed.<BR/><BR/>May,<BR/>Thank you thank you.. Time for me to move to my new server hor?<BR/><BR/>Jesslyn,<BR/>Yeah loh. Must change body shampoo for her already.<BR/><BR/>Blurblur,<BR/>Blogging is an escape for me mah.<BR/>Sure.. will try to sleep early. In fact, I’m sleeping earlier than I used to.. But still never feel very rested, don’t know why.<BR/><BR/>Geetha,<BR/>Yes, I think first pregnancy is easier because you don’t have an attention seeking child to deal with.<BR/><BR/>Egghead,<BR/>I haven’t heard her talking non stop like that mah.. so a bit worried. As though it’s not her real self talking.<BR/><BR/>Momm,<BR/>Gee.. I hope it’ll get better but not worse. I heard though that the child would normally get even more attached and wants more attention later part b’cos they can sense that something is happening. Yikes.<BR/><BR/>Rachel,<BR/>Haha.. I’ll remember that.<BR/><BR/>Immomsdaugther,<BR/>Thanks. Will do.<BR/>I won’t really stress myself too much. That’s why I don’t blog during w/ends. It’s rest day for me from the PC!<BR/><BR/>Cocka,<BR/>Another girl will be great! I love girls!<BR/>Ahem, you ‘pakat’ with my hubby? Why you never said pass the baby sitting to Daddy? By right he should help out. Maid has other chores to do mah during the night.<BR/><BR/>Michelle,<BR/>Daddy very hopeless one la when Zara starts crying. Can’t depend on him. Zara is independent most of the time, but at night when she wants to sleep, it’ll always have to be me. No me, no talk.<BR/>Actually I don’t know how you cope ler. 2 kids, and no maid! Gosh! I salute you.<BR/><BR/>KY,<BR/>I’ll tell myself that too.. No more No.3!!<BR/><BR/>Sesame,<BR/>I hope it’ll also be gone by 2nd trimester.<BR/>But I think I’m getting old.. really feeling very tired all the time, and I think it won’t go until after the delivery, then again, I’ll get more tired with all the night feeds and all start. Never ending eh?<BR/><BR/>Channel Wong,<BR/>Strange things happened during pregnancy huh? Yes, I hope my job will get less stressful too. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous,<BR/>It’s better that the child is attached to me than the maid, although it’s an easier job for the mother, not my cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>See Fei,<BR/>Thank you.. haha.. it’s only difficult now.. because everything is happening at the same time. It wasn’t so bad earlier.<BR/><BR/>Samm,<BR/>Aigh.. if it’s my own business, or course I’ll lessen the work load. Unfortunately it’s not like that when you work from someone. And people don’t sympathized with you when you are pregnant, they expect you to work harder because you’ll soon be taking a few months off.<BR/>Thanks for the hugs.. needed that.<BR/><BR/>Jasmine,<BR/>Yeah loh.. hate working with the US folks! Aigh.. what to do when you are in a regional role!<BR/>But Faythe is good huh? Kwai kwai sit with you.<BR/><BR/>Linpeh,<BR/>Aiyo.. how can you compare piao mei with a kid.. Wait la.. next time you have your own baby.. see you want the kid to stick to you like your piao mei do or not.<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>Yes.. see you can emphasized with me. Some people think I should just make her less attached to me to make my life easier. But really, I would prefer her to stick to me than the maid. It’s the sacrifices we have to make being a mother.<BR/><BR/>Helen,<BR/>Leaving hubby is easy la.. He’s so big. Leaving Zara will be tough I think. I wonder if she’ll cope w/out me. But we shall see.<BR/>Haha.. turned on by short ugly guys.. I just get turned off by the smell of men. Soon, have to ask hubby to sleep on the floor liao.ZMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784137029580967072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14790769.post-1149847580933180092006-06-09T18:06:00.000+08:002006-06-09T18:06:00.000+08:00It's always a hard having to juggle between career...It's always a hard having to juggle between career and home.

Ivan was also like that starting from me being a few months pregnant till now. Anyway, sometimes it's great that they prefer me to anyone else, other times I yearn for some time for myself and wish someone else would attend to them (nicely). Either way, I just have no heart to leave him be when he starts calling for mummy :PSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445412183020413554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14790769.post-1149846046761729122006-06-09T17:40:00.000+08:002006-06-09T17:40:00.000+08:00Aiyo....why complain complian.

The cravings and aversions to particular smells are all so common, sigh. I have neither. Actually, it's your body reacting to the all those chemical formulations you're using on Zara. You can try switching to Organic ones which does not contain any chemicals. Try Paul Pender's Better for both you and Zara now.<BR/><BR/>At least you no longer have to breastfeed Zara. That's a relief. But then you still have to wake up so early to feed her. It'll be easier if she can sleep through the night. Take things easy now. Workload cannot be lightened meh? So sad you have to give up your Houston trip, awwww. But, do take extra care during your 1st trimester, k.
