Oct Buddies Weekly Lunches

Hi CK,
I can't do this week, as I have work things going on, but I'll be back on board next week, with luck.
Perhaps we can go to your club by the pool {assorted typhoons not withstanding!}

How exciting for your scan Sunrays, hope he slips it into 3D mode again for you.
I didn't have the glucose test eithe. I asked about it, as it is done for everyone {as far as I can gather} in Australia but my obs said he only does it for high risk. I have urine tests every visit, which would pick up on it if I was at risk apparently.

I've been having 2 weekly check ups since 3rd trimester started, but it is just a regular check and scan, no 'special tests' have been going on.

Oh and enjoy that class tomorrow, be SURE to ask lot's of questions!!!
 
Hi Ladies,

No worries about tomorrow. Next week would be better for me now that I've had a better look at my schedule (my brain is running at half power these days!). Am I the only one who can't string a full sentence together these days?

Next Friday (18th @ HKFC) would be better for me as I have a doctor's appointment on the Thursday. Let me know and I can book a table.

Hi Girls,

Count me in for next Friday! Sorry that we couldn't get together this week. I've been busy getting baby 'stuff' organized...I've got the cot, wardrobe, pushchair, dresser and started antenatal classes last night ... It's like I might just have a baby after all of this is over.

Sunrays - I hope that you enjoyed the glimpse of your little one .. it's so reassuring. I had my glucose test at 28 weeks. It's a standard test in the US, but like Gidget said, if you are lower risk they might not do it. Do they check urine at every appt? If not, I'd request it just to be on the safe side.

I am now seeing my Dr. every two weeks (it was monthly up to my 32 week appointment).

Is anyone interested in having one of our 'pre-delivery meetings' in mid/late September at the Mandarin Oriental spa? I hear that their Shanghai pedicures are the best in town.

Have a great weekend!

Hello Ladies,

I'll book a table for next Friday (18th @ 12.30) at Hong Kong Football Club in Sports Road (Coffee Shop on the second floor, outside) in the name of Anita. Please let me know who would like to attend and if there are any problems with the time. Please bear in mind that non-members can't pay in cash and that I'll have to sign for lunch (and then we can settle the bill among ourselves).

If you need directions, etc., just drop me a line.

Sunrays, i'll have the glucose test this weekend, doc says it's a routine, but not necessary if my urine test is OK, but since it's only $250, i'll go for it.
My last check up was at 29w, and doc says everything is well, so he will see me in 4 weeks time again. Don't know if he just doesn't like to see me, wants me to save cost, or it's really not a big deal to see him every two weeks yet.

Bets, i just remember i owe you the coupon, totally forgotten about it. You're so organize, i haven't bought a cot yet, only a big moses with wheels so i can just push it if i'm in the living room. No pushchair yet, i've bought an ergo baby carrier for infant. I don't know if that's enough for the meantime.

Anyone opting for cloth diaper? Or i'm the only one thinking of this difficult task. :burnout:

Gidget, i thought of your everytime i hold my bag :banana: Take care.

Have a nice weekend (and shopping!) everyone.
 
Thansk CK, I'm in for Friday, I'll bring my bikini {kidding!!}

Mama S, I'll have to see this bag of yours!!
I got the Ergo carrier too. Have you worked out how to use it? I've been practicing with a teddy, looks like it might be a bit tricky to start off with, with the infant insert.

So just to recap, that's a tricky pram AND carrier I have now!! :biggrin:

Welcome Miaka, hope to meet you at Friday's lunch.

Bets you crack me up. YES I think you probably should have the baby, now you've gone to all that trouble!!!
Will the Mandarin be reopened before we give birth? I've only got 6 weeks to go!!! Arrggghhh.
I know it's been delayed. They are still open in Jardine House, but I hear that's a bit squeezy.
At any rate, I never say no to a pedicure.
 
Question?

Hi there!

Can anyone suggest a good alternative to the Allerhand bag? I want to have a nice, practical bag for baby's stuff but don't necessarily want something that has a 'name' on the front. It doesn't have to be a 'baby bag', just something that can hold everything. I already have a little separate changing mat and wipes holder.

Thanks,

CK

:biggrin:
 
Oh Mama S, forgot to metnion I am having a go at cloth too. I have bought some different types of shaped AIO ones, that are like disposables to use. Not brave enough for the traditional type yet, maybe later!

CK, I'm not getting an actual 'nappy bag'. I'm on the look out for a cool tote from my usual fashion haunts in a wipe down fabrication, ideally with lot's of compartments. Saw one at Agnes B, for example, that I really liked. I quite like the bags at GOD as well.
I've already got the change mat and some wet bags etc to put inside it. Apparently it's good to get something with a long strap to wear across your body or a back pack, as you'll want to be able to have your hands free when carrying it.
 
Wow Bets you have been busy! Thanks for the tip on Eugene XOX and I went ( in T3...that's dedication to baby shopping for you!!) and were impressed at how much stuff they had. Got a few bits but will go back and just try and get everything as I'm getting fed up of shopping around now.

Was looking forward to the scan with Dr D but it didn't happen. He kept us waiting an hour and there was still a couple infront of us so we left! It would have been an hour and a half wait in the end and I found that a bit much, I don't wait that long at the hospital and I'm not paying a thing. Will see how check up goes on Tuesday and decide then if I'll go for a scan with a private Dr.

CK, the football club sounds good, but let me confirm next week.

Hi Miaka, hope to meet you soon.

Have a good weekend everyone,

Sunrays
