Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie_mami,

I got my driver's license when I was 16 and you know teenagers have no fear so I'd say is not too difficult

It also has to do with which DMV you choose, some cities have less traffic and will be easier for the driving test :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Almost exam time...are you ready yet

Lots of luck to you

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

NILLIE_mama,
AMANDA早四星期出世都7磅幾﹐幾好啵。
未有BB之前我在NY有做野﹐出糧看下PAY CHECK﹐嘩扣噤多稅既﹐原來NY有CITY稅﹐真係作死﹐揾得已經唔多﹐仲被CITY扣﹐真係所剩無幾。
LA有D CITY既DMV係容易D考牌﹐D官無噤嚴。LINCOLN HEIGHTS D路易考D﹐無噤多車。
我0個時EDD係1/11但FALSE CONTRACTION左兩個星期都無動靜﹐只開了1度﹐噤我個OBGYN就在1/11同我做MEMBRANE STRIPPING﹐之後話BB應會WITHIN 72小時出世﹐1/13 CONTRACTION越來越密有3分鐘一次但唔痛的只係FEEL到個肚硬&扯著。1/13晚我OBGYN CALL我約第2朝9點係醫院催生﹐點之剛去到醫院等入產房時就有LEAKING﹐後來入到產房醫生同我吉穿水袋&吊IV﹐10AM-4PM都係開到4度﹐心稔有排都未生得﹐後來無啦啦3個鐘後開到10CM+1﹐赫死我。
其間都有驚險場面﹐我開到5度0個時RYAN心跳停左好多次﹐之後由佰幾跌落60幾﹐醫生入黎話可能要EMERGENCY C-SECTION﹐後來插候加SOLUTION入子宮BB心跳才高返。所以RYAN出世時個下巴係被條候插損左架。
生左半個鐘到﹐EPIDURAL OFF左生但都唔覺十分痛﹐剩係想BB快D出黎﹐唔好焗親。哈~

ZIC﹐
係呀﹐NILLIE講得岩。
CHINATOWN D薑靚好多。我生前就無飲白連蘇﹐無點食涼野﹐因我寒底怕受不了。
剩係食左兩次芝麻糊同幾舊西瓜。
CHINATOWN 孔子大廈對面0個間廚房用具批發公司有大的電燉盅買﹐現在做緊特價﹐原價$125現在$99。生後要燉野飲﹐我現在都仲有燉﹐前30日一個禮拜食3-4次﹐30日後一個禮拜2次到100朝﹐買個電燉盅唔使看火﹐臨訓前燉第2朝就食得﹐方便好多架。

CUTTIE_MOMMY﹐
係呀﹐呀仔呢兩日鐘意咬著個奶嘴黎扯﹐雖然好痛﹐不過都甜到入心﹐嘻嘻。

WHALEBB﹐
希望你早日一家團聚﹐等你老公幫下手看著隻頑皮豬女女。

Nillie_Mami

你好勁喎,早咗咁多,amanda 都咁足磅..

..你個時重咗幾多呀?
我就開刀生小肥佬架, 係見紅先, 等咗一日,終於生得,但係試生咗成兩個鐘都唔得. (因為佢游咗去我左邊), 到最後開刀生囉 (嚇到我老公屎吓屎吓呀,因為佢怕我有事,亞仔比人取咗出嚟佢都唔知呀),生咗出嚟先知佢係big bb..個姑娘話,如果比起以前,無得開刀, 我同個bb都保唔到..
多謝你支持, 當library個件事開始,我覺得我真係有需要去考drivers license..
其實我都考過,只不過衰緊張, 轉lane,唔記得over shoulder , 咁咪衰咗囉..

嘩,乜澳洲要交成46.8%稅架..好多喎, 不過,我聽我朋友講,德國都交好多稅,所以我個時去德國, D supermarket 逄星期日都關門大吉...

babygigi2

仲乜log in 唔到架..
我唔知由rosemead 嚟我個度點嚟,我只係知道,我亞哥由temple city 係用 freeway 405 咋..
我個OB 係都唔肯同我照ultrasound, 係咁用隻手摸我個肚,佢話亞仔係normal size, 唔係big bb.... 點知佢摸完無耐,就生得, 出嚟就八磅半啦..真係呀...

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

muimui313,
how old is alex now? coz u mentioned that he's just started sucking his thumb.
i don't remember when exactly my boy started to suck his thumb. but he sucked his thumb very intensively after my 99 gave him a burp cloth before going to bed (for comforting), cos he used to hv problems falling asleep and crying. now he's 22m and whenever he's not happy, tired or hungry, he'll look for the burp cloths and suck his thumb again. i've tried to hide the burp cloths, but he desparately looked for it and cried for it.

also, he sucks his left thumb only, so his left thumb is always red and rough (sometimes skin even peels off). now he even sucks his thumb for abt maybe 10 to 20 mins after he falls asleep. when i tried to pull it out, he'll cry out loud. also, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he always looks for the burp cloth or his favorite bear bear blanky and suck his thumb to make himself fall asleep again.

sigh ... he's gonna 2 soon and still likes to suck his thumb. i don't know how to stop it and when he'll stop it.

Other Moms,
hv u ever had similar experience - yr bb still sucks his/her thumb after 1-yr-old or even 2-yr-old??
how do u reslove the problem?

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,
I live in San Jose instead of LA. initially i got my driver license in Mobile, Alabama years ago. it was a smaller city than LA. however, u won't believe it how many times i've taken the road test. sigh ... i didn't even remember the exact number of times (just so many times), becoz u would fail the whole test even u'd made such a little mistake (they didn't hv a point-deducting system there). also, maybe because i took the exam 2 to 3 months after i moved to a completely new place without family and relatives there.
i understand they do hv a point-deducting system for the driving test in San Francisco when i moved over there from Alabama. when i moved to SF, i just needed to take the written exam and it was so easy, cos they'll let u to take the written test up to 3 times on the same day for < $20 or so. It's weired to me, cos it's harder to get the driver license in a smaller town.

For Moms Who Haven't Got Their Driver Licenses,
Hope that u'll get it soon, cos it's so boring if u can't drive in the US. "add oil"! u can do it!

Babygigi,
wow, yr birth experience was such an adventure!
i also had induced labor due to water leaking for a few day. i asked my 99 (a nurse before) if it's possibly amniotic fluid. she said lots of things which seem confusing to me. since she didn't look too nervous to me, i just waited until i saw the ob doc in the next 2-3 days. however, when the ob examined me, she told me it's considered rupture. she's very concerned and told me to get into the hospital to start induced labor right away. since both bb and i been doing fine, i was kept being induced for over 31 hrs. i started being induced around 4pm on Wed but still dialted to 3cm only at 10pm on Thurs. so the doctor suggested to do c-sect for me and bb was born after midnight early Fri morning.

btw, did u ask me for the pics of my boy. pls check it out at my signature part.

meemee,
i went to FCS for open house last Fri with bb. however, i didn't even get a chance to hv a quick look of the classrooms, cos i was running after bb. but after being there, it seem to be quite far. it only took me abt 20 mins driving each way, but there was no traffic at all.
i like it more than Challenger, cos there're more different races of students/teachers at FCS, and i prefer a christian school at least for pre-school.

When do u plan to send your son to school? How old is he now? If FCS is too far for your family, what other choices do u have? You can always call FCS for a private tour at your convenience.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Sy_mom,

Natalie used to suck on her nuckle when she was small. I believe she gave that up when she was about 4 months. Now she just likes to put toys in her mouth for fun. She doesn't suck on her fingers or pacifier. :lol: :lol:

Little Fat Man,

Which DMV did you go to for the driving test? Try going to a smaller city with less traffic...it really helps. Your brother lives in Temple City?!...that's about 20 mins. away from Walnut. Maybe we can meet up for dim sum the next time you go to your brother's house

Babygigi,

So have you decided when to bring Ryan back to LA to see your parents. Since you are in Rosemead, that's not too far from whalebb and me. We're in walnut. :lol: :lol:

Nillie_mami,

I had a natural delivery with Natalie. I started contracting 9:30pm the night before and gave birth to her at 9:28pm the next day. I didn't go to the hospital until 10:00am the next morning but I was only dilated to 2. My OB/GYN stretched me to 3 and admitted me to the hospital. Then they did the IV, epidural, and I took a nap. At 8:45pm when the nurse checked me, she said I was fully dilated so I pushed for 45 mins and Natalie came out. The epidural numbed me until 1 hour after birth...I can't complain.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

SY_Mom,

Thanks you encourage moms to get a driver license! I am one of none of driver license mom. This is my leak point. No one believe I still no d-license. I never drive and take the paper test. The main reason is I scare and I leak my confidence. However; be a mom I know I need the d-license.

I also want to know when do you plan your son go to school. Do you know what school has potty training? What age can go to pre-kindgarten?

Natmama, whalebb,

I know you gals will gathering to lunch. Owing to I haven't d-licence, I did n't mention that I want to join gals. That's why I keep silence.

Little Fat Man,

Thanks you web site ( INS ), I check la... but I am not sure which one is right. I will keep looking. Thanks!

Amanda滿月就攞到車牌..我以前喺墨爾本揸manual車,上大斜路日日釣"極" "歴" "子"己經慣習...渣十字車冇自動波呢!...(做精神科時係女護士揸車嘅).
稅係澳洲,做姑娘係好重,但福利好..政府取之於民,用之於民吖嘛...我甘心俾嘅..至小Amanda喺我個肚時有專人全程照顧吖嘛!
肥bear bear 男家嗰邊啲BB最輕出世9磅半,最重近12磅...Amanda對另外6個cousins嚟講係mini-size o架! 我只重得15磅...產前126磅,生時141磅,生後102磅....我嘔足全程到生Amanda前一日...好在Amanda食我用我 --->個身體,咪就慘攞...因為7磅真係好好湊.如果佢足月.....都唔知點算!!! :-| :-|
所有媽咪....我温完書喇...又要再review啲葯同心電圖,就ok la.. 我一完會努力為香港媽咪同自己增光!!!!
喂喂!Mrs.Yip & 小肥佬同其他未有車牌嘅媽咪,

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Whalebb,

If your friend wants to incorporate by himself, he can go online and order the forms. Try looking at legalzoom.com. Just need to pay a small fee ($99-$300) for the application and send back to them after completing. Honestly, I would recommend your friend to go to a CPA or a lawyer. It is quite a tedious process. I didn't even do it for my husband. Don't want to make a mistake....

The price to have a professional do it ranges from $500-$1500...not too bad for a business and it's fully deductible.

Hope you get your letter soon. I can't go out tomorrow becuz I'm taking my grandmother shopping. Maybe next week then

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Natmama

I started going for a walk with mini-matt a few days ago...it seems like he's getting more appetizing and sleeps better at night..Today we walked to the pier,
I watched the people fishing, jogging, riding a bike, eating in the restaurant, the feeling was very good .. I think I will keep walking from now on...
But I also wonder why the apt for rent is so expensive there, $2500 for 1 bedroom ? just because of the location ? it's ridiculous..
I saw the bb food on sale at Vons.. For 2nd stage, 10 for 4 dollars, will you stock up ? I will do it with coupons tomorrow ...
Really ? Temple city is that close to Walnut..If I go to my brother's house , I could meet you for sure..

mrsyip

you're welcome...
Me either la, I don't get my d-license yet..everytime when whalebb and Natmama are talking about the gethering , I also keep silence..

..

SY_mom,

We have 2 pre-schools around here, they both are 10-15 mins walk away from my house..One is bigger and little bit cheaper, but my husband prefers the other one because the teacher can take care of all kids and mini-matt can learn more..
Everytime when Mini-matt sucks his thumb or fist, my husband will stop him because he will touch the furnitures with the fithy hands.Unfortunately, he still keeps doing it...He sucked his toes before, but I would say "NO, mini-matt" and pulled it away.Now he rarely does it now..
Did you try to figure out why he's so unhappy ? talk to him ?

whalebb

that's good idea ar... I hope your husband could come here very soon... :mrgreen:
Before you got sick, are you ok now ? ?-(

Nillie_Mami

聽落澳洲政府的對稅既政策都幾好喎..
嘩...肥bear bear 男家個邊D人真係好勁喎...12磅既BB都有..你幫我同肥bear bear 講" 抵佢娶到個靚老婆架"
你點可以仲廋過未生前咁多架,恨屎我啦...我個時肥咗成50磅呀, 好可悲係'絶大部份都去晒我個度呢." 我睇番d dvd..我同我老公都笑到唔停得咀,我剛剛生完個樣, 又謝,又無精神, 又勁肥, 亞仔放係我前面,真係無得比呀...

Little Fat Man,

I was talking on the phone with Whalebb yesterday and I told her I'd like to call you sometime. When's the best time to call?! Don't want to bother you and your husband. It's nice you are taking mini-matt for walks now, it's good to get fresh air and for bb to see different people. I know the apartment px are so high but some people are willing to pay becuz it's closer to work or the environment is beautiful by the beach. Do you visit your brother often? Temple city is about 25 mins. from walnut. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Let me go the my nearby vons and see if the bb food is on sale there. Thanks for letting me know

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Whalebb,
收到信未呀? 祝你好運!!

Clara,
你講得啱, 緣份嗎! 隔幾遠都好, 係你嘅就係你, 冇得走雞嘅 …

查實我都好服阿老公o架! 佢學嘢好俾心機, 又唔怕羞, 所以好快就學識一樣嘢!! 至於語言天份呢家嘢….真係一個個人, 佢阿媽就唔係好好… 我諗佢有對好靈敏嘅耳仔啦, 佢對啲tone非常敏感…你知我哋啲廣東話, 講歪o啲, 就變咗第二個字… 佢成日同佢阿媽講yes is係, not x, (you said too high!!)

仲有你老公都識講我愛你, 我阿老公識都唔講

可能係自己嘅問題啦

)

你病病就要休息啦, 記住飲多啲水….

Shiba,
我發覺阿媽好勇呀, 一啲都唔擔心坐飛機呀, 過關呢啲問題….反而我就擔心到屎下屎下….

Muimui,
你老公真係勁, 識得滑浪, 又咁大隻… 我連游水都唔曉呀…. 佢宜家傷咗之後就冇做運動喇? 太可惜lu….你鼓勵下佢, 舉下啞鈴, 做下situp…就會好快好似以前咁… 佢一定好唔開心見到自己宜家嘅身型 :cry:

小肥佬 & Nillie_Mami,
Book 咗啦 :mrgreen: , 下星期五 5:00 喺 nyc … 個plan包6張相, 1 cd-rom (相) & DVD…. 成為 $221.25....希望阿仔到時合作啲… 非常期待…

小肥佬,
谷奶, 好痛痛o架噃 (我估…)有冇pump呀?? Pump啲出嚟啦…

阿老公話你阿仔食嘢咁扭計, 試下將條匙羹扮飛機, 將d嘢食飛入佢個口到,佢話佢細個好鐘意o架, 記住加埋聲音&動作, 繪影繪聲呀嘛

…

我有時都會帶阿99隻狗出去行下, 不過我哋得個足球場, 冇你所講嘅pier... Mini-matt有得行街街, 佢一定好開心

… 你仲開心, 因為佢唔晒係屋企搞搞震 :mrgreen: ….

咁你有冇諗住返香港幫阿仔搞 i.d.呀?? 到時你咪有藉口囉! 不過Nillie_mami都講得幾有道理, 等到7/8個月…..唔…咁咪即係下個月??!!

Nillie_Mami,
嘩, 我都係第一次聽有咁巨型嘅bb咋, 真係同姚明有得fight!

又要讚下你啦!! 咁好, 又話我知邊到有得賣, 等我唔晒兩頭騰…仲幫我夾埋價添!!! 你個肥bear bear老公娶咗你真係有福囉!! 我應該聽日去買…. 我知香港超級市場係邊, 不過我唔知邊到係寶榮行喎??

收音機…我冇聽喎, 你估我呢度聽唔聽到你所講嘅台呢??

搭火車去nyc, 真係好貴o架… one-way(off-peak) 都要成$12, 老公有個monthly pass, 都要$353!!!!好重皮…佢朝朝早5:00起身, 搭6:00車, 返到公司8:15...見到佢就辛苦…. 但佢話可以喺火車到瞓覺….

係呀, 生之前, 係咪應該食d嘢呢? 我怕無力&餓親….

我知你講邊間鋪頭呀, 聽日我一定會走去望下個燉盅o架啦, 唔該晒!!

我應該坐完月就搵屋搬, 我哋都應該會揀Flushing, 咁你呢, 搬番喺附近呀?? 我初嚟報到, Elmhurst 係唔係同 Flushing好近o架?? 如果係, 咁咪好囉…. 到時約埋出嚟飲下茶, bb仔可以一齊玩, 做個伴嗎!! (other NYC Moms too.... yeah, yeah!!!)

我嫁咗俾個鬼佬, 不過我都覺得佢係中國人嚟o架! 因為佢實在太雞蛋仔啦 (ABC=香蕉仔, get it?? :mrgreen: ) 你阿仔叫Ryan呀? 我老公都係喎… 你個Ryan幾大呀??

CuttieMom,

我哋返咗美國唔係好耐, 得嗰5個月, 啱啱嚟到, 無地方落腳, 咪住係佢阿媽到先囉, 諗住一搵到工就即刻可以搬, 我哋初頭估計最快12月就搬得…點知呢到啲人做嘢實在太慢啦 :evil: :evil: !!!!!! 老公呢份工係喺10月寄resume, 佢哋到1月先打電話嚟叫佢去見工!! 咁搞一搞, 咪搞到我哋個plan “窩” 晒囉……….我又要睇醫生, 我所有prenatal visit都喺呢到, 所以喺到生會方便啲…兼且都差唔多5月, 宜家搬屋又唔係太方便…決定坐完月先搵屋…

臨瞓前…我有飲奶奶呀, 都係呢排嘅習慣…好似真係瞓得好d喎…

你宜家先重咗8磅, 點解呀?? 食唔落嘢呀?? 你醫生點講呀??

Natmama,

日頭我有瞓下, 休息下, 真係舒服d…. 我會聽你話, 休息多d, 成機 “tau”懶 :mrgreen:…
