I am still here (I mean in omma's womb)!!! :S

yoyoz...... I AM STILL INSIDE OMMA'S WOMB!!! keke......
Today is Thursday (30/8/07), suppose to be induced if amniotic fluid level is low...... but who know??? Went for check up today and the amniotic fluid level is sufficient for me to stay in the womb longer!!! keke....
Gynae Dr. Wong advised omma that since Ji Eun is healthy and let me stay inside till Monday (3/9/07).... if by Monday, Ji Eun still havent come out, then really have to induce........
So, Omma ah...... i think you better walk more and squat more..... over the weekend, stop sleeping and better go walk walk more often......
No Choice..... I have a lazy pig Omma so have to remind her to exercise again & again..... keke......

zoom zoom zoom...........Ji Eun is COMING!!!!.....

Today, went for CTG check up..... Ji Eun's heartbeat is as per normal and healthy but no contraction at all....so mean I have no intention to come out yet...... BUT.... when went for gynae check up, thru the scanning, pretty gynae told omma that amniotic fluid level was abit low..... so will be dangerous for Ji Eun to "hide" inside for long time!
hmm....so this thursday will go for morning check up again for the amniotic fluid level..... if the level is very low, then have to induce (by inserting the tablet) and ask Ji Eun to come out liao......
Ji Eun can sense that omma abit unhappy on Ji Eun bcos all along she wanted Ji Eun to come out herself naturally and not by inducing...... but no choice...... maybe bcos everytime heard omma scolding people so I dun dare to come out myself so soon.......i rather hide in the womb! keke.....
Anyway, gynae said Ji Eun still very healthy inside as Omma told her that ji Eun still move alot inside..... so not to worry.....
So, if thursday the amniotic fluid level is as normal, i will still stay inside the womb and wait..... if amniotic fluid level is very very low...... then i will see you all soon!!!! So, please get ready to welcome me!!! Ji Eun is COMING!!!!!!!

Appa & Omma!!! See you Tomorrow.... at the scanning machine! ;P

So fast..... weekend is going over....... Monday is coming and will have a appointment with Omma and Appa at 230pm......

If you're sitting at your computer reading this... then we're guessing that you probably haven't given birth yet! That's not surprising — only five per cent of babies are born on their expected due date. In fact, most doctors and midwives will wait another two weeks before considering your baby overdue. Let's hope you won't have to wait too long for the long-anticipated event. Until then, spend some special time with your partner, or, if you have older children, enjoy these days with them. You'll be glad you did once the baby comes.

Whew!!! At last is friday again.....

you know? maybe recently Ji Eun is getting bigger in omma's womb...... everyday sure will people asking omma "wow!!! When are you going to give birth???".... aiyoyo....please please.... stop asking omma ok? bcos omma keep pestering Ji Eun asking for an ans..... the problem is i also dunno!!!

Omma is going to Wk38 stage.... so here is the advice from the babycentre website...

"Your due date is right around the corner and your baby's just waiting for the right time to be born. She's continuing to build a layer of fat, which will help her to control her body's temperature after birth and will put on more weight (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls). Take it easy during the final week or so — this may be your last opportunity to relax. Instead of spending every available minute decorating the nursery or folding baby clothes, go out and see a film, read a book or take long naps. Don't forget to spend some quality time with your partner too — it will probably be your last chance to have an evening out together for a while."

So omma....... for you, taking a long naps is not a problem...as u sleep soooo much..... but i think you have to try to spend more time with Appa bcos when I come out....u sure very busy! keke...

Oh ya! yesterday Pauline Ah Yee bought Ji Eun some sweet clothing...... "IMO!!! KAMSAHAMNIDA!!!" Ji Eun love the clothes very much....... hope to see more presents soon! keke....

Omma.... really hard on you....

Today Omma really have a "challenging" day bcos her tummy contraction on and off since morning! :S..... and Ji Eun also getting more harder to move around in the womb as no much space left for me to play around!!! aarrgghh.......
Today Omma walking really like a Penguin..... a slow, fat penguin! keke...... she also have difficulties on standing up from her work place..... as tummy many cramp..... despite of these, she still die die want to go to work as she dun want to take ML to rest at home bcos home also nothing to do!!!
Now, she only looking forward for me to come out....well....I also dunno when hor.... :S

We went to her house and it is a nice and cozy house and maybe bcos have the resort feeling, Ji Eun fall asleep in omma's womb as didnt move or kick....keke.... After going to Ajumma Jasmine's house, we went to Changi Airport to have "popoye" dinner!!! Yummy..... Then we try to walk around the viewing bay in T1, but abit hard for Omma to walk as i am thinking is bcos Omma lazy or wat..... but omma "complain" to Appa saying "your ji eun really getting heavier and my tummy really pain feeling so hard to walk to much liao"! wow....omma lazy and still blame Ji Eun! :S

Here's looking at your future needs, kid

Once considered an unnecessary expense, insurance for children is now gaining in popularity

Mira Kashinathmira@mediacorp.com.sg

Sometime back, many individuals would have baulked at the thought of buying insurance for children, claiming that it was an unnecessary expense on grounds that children do not have debts or dependants.

But as insurance products — and parents — get more sophisticated and the cost of living keeps creeping gradually upwards, many have come around to consider insurance as a good way to ensure there is some money set aside for future use.

One parent instinctively invested in a regular premium life insurance plan soon after her son was born because she felt it was the right thing to do.

"I didn't wait for the insurance agent to knock on my door, but bought a plan one day when I was at the bank," commented Ms Marian Ng, a marketing manager with a financial institution. Ms Ng, who is in her mid-30s, was driven by the need to have sufficient funds available for her son's future needs, particularly his education.

Insurers have come to recognise this need among parents, and many now offer plans that go beyond merely offering protection. The plan that Ms Ng invested in not only ensures that she sets aside a regular amount for her son's education in a disciplined manner, but also includes a potential upside through a link to investment funds.

Financial advisers confirm that insurance for children has gained in popularity, with many parents needing little persuasion to invest in one.

"Unless parents face affordability issues, child-related insurance is one of the popular services that we provide," said Mr Leong Sze Hian, president of the Society of Financial Service Professionals. He says many parents prefer investment-linked plans (ILPs), particularly lump-sum single premium investments, to build wealth for their children in the long term, as they are concerned about having insufficient cash to fund their child's tertiary education.

His views were echoed by Mr Peh Chee Keong, head of NTUC Income's Life Insurance Department, who noticed that among plans introduced specifically for children, ILPs were becoming increasingly popular.

"Such plans offer flexibility and allow a higher return on the savings, especially when invested for a long term, say for 10 years or more," he said.

Parents may feel the need to start planning for their child's education as early as possible due to funding needs calculated based on high inflation rates, added Mr Leong. On a projected inflation rate of 5 per cent, estimates indicate that a local undergraduate programme could cost about $46,929 and $54,326 in 18 and 21 years respectively. Faced with this scenario, starting later would only mean that parents would have to set aside a larger amount to achieve the required capital sum.

Mr Leong advises cash-strapped parents not to be swayed by such projections, and suggests using inflation rates of 3 per cent instead.

"Otherwise, they may be left with little surplus cash for other financial goals, like retirement planning. They should also go for an integrated investment planning approach, in that their entire investment portfolio could include education funding as well, instead of buying separate investment policies for each child," he advised.

While education seems to the motivating force for many parents to buy insurance plans, professionals on the other hand feel that medical insurance should be a more critical consideration, as hospitalisation costs for a child can be hefty. In fact, professionals say that it should be the first policy for parents to have, as injury or illness could strike anywhere and anytime.

Parents could include children into existing Medishield or approved private integrated plans, with premiums payable through Medisave, plus purchase a separate medical plan or rider to complement the areas not covered under the MediShield plan.

"As a minimum, I would recommend the CPF Shield Ward B plan, followed by a low premium renewable term insurance covering death, permanent total disability and critical illness," said Mr Leong.

Critical illness coverage, to cover medical expenses that might arise from child-related illness, such as rheumatic fever with valvular impairment, Kawasaki Disease, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and leukaemia should also be considered.

Low on the priority list should be a whole life plan for the child. ."This is because the chances of a premature death, disability or one of the 30 covered critical illnesses affecting a child is rather low," said Mr Gilbert Koh, an independent financial adviser with First Principal Financial. "That is why the child's premium rises only marginally for the first 10 years. Buying a whole life plan for the child is, in essence, protecting your future grandchildren."

He feels it is still a good idea to get one, however, due to the cheaper premiums, but only if the child's medical and education needs have been addressed.

"The child is given a head start over peers, learning to save and invest earlier," said Mr Koh.

Parents with limited resources could consider level and convertible term, which is believed to be cheaper than a whole life plan. The plan can be converted to a whole life plan at later years without showing evidence of good health. Whole life plans that are payable only for a limited period, such as 10 or 20 years, after which the child can enjoy lifetime coverage without further premium payments, are another option.

However, there is one caveat for parents to bear in mind before even thinking about an insurance plan for their child.

"Parents have to ensure that they are adequately insured first, because the child's plan will only take effect when the child is either 18 or 21 years, depending on whether the child's a female or male," Ms Sara George, a financial planner, explained. "In the interim, should anything happen to the parent, there must have been adequate planning in place to ensure that the child has something to survive or even service the premiums."

Or as Mr Koh put it across, if you had a goose that laid golden eggs, which would you insure first: The goose or the egg?
