Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Any moms had ever brought their babies back to Hong Kong when they were between 1 and 2-yr-old?
Any experience to share?

We're thinking to take our 18m old boy back to HK this Dec for abt 2 to 3 months. However, I've been hesitated since things are quite different in HK. BB's still on formula. We might need to bring lots of stuffs such as carseat, formula (different even for same brand in HK), etc. The worst thing I worry abt is the time difference which might make bb hard to adjust his sleeping and eating schedule.

But my husband said it's even harder for us next year when bb's in child-care/pre-school ...

What do u think?

Btw, I live in San Jose.

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Hi,

chingbj
I already forward to you, pls checked.
Did you have anyone help you out while you are sitting moon? Which part USA you are living now?
I thought 解胎毒 should 解 before you give birth...right???

Shiba-Inu
I already read it in 好文分享, which is pretty true that we don't need to push ourselves so hard...just take it easy...

Marble
Where are you living now? LA? Do you have any friend or relative in San Jose? As we will move to North Carliona after baby delivered around April, 2005. :cry: We bought a townhouse in NC but I really like CA. But the cost of living is just too high and I prefer to live in a bigger, newer house and cheaper gas in NC.... :mrgreen: but maybe boring to death in NC....(less Chinese food and people)

小肥佬
Your baby is so...cute and I am wondering you will speak Cantoese or English to your baby?

SY_Mom
Which hospital you delivered your baby? I will deliver in El Camino hospital and like to know you also delivered in that hospital?? Also, like to know how much it cost for the hospital bill as I want to estimate the cost to give birth baby in San Jose.
My friend she just back to HK 2 weeks ago and her baby only 3months. She will stay 2 months in HK and so, I guess that is ok only if your baby already has took the shots before the trip.

多謝你讚佢呀..
雖然佢得一半係中國血統,但係我由佢一出世到依家,我都係對住佢講廣東話.只係有時佢老豆係度時,先會同佢講d英文..我想佢學好d中文, 第時要同婆婆溝通嘛. 妨且對佢未來既發展有益而無害..
你會搬去NC呀?天氣會唔會無CA咁好呀? 我都幾驚天氣好凍既地方,記得那一年有咗小肥佬一個月,就係落緊雪既OHIO病咗, 以後我對落雪都怕怕囉..

Marble

多謝, 佢笑係上嚟,我真係覺得係冧到暈架,可能佢係我個仔啩. :mrgreen: 你都就嚟有個啦..到時幾得影多D相比我哋睇呀...
仲乜瞓唔著呀? 我記得我就生時,都係好似有D嘢心掛掛咁,瞓唔到,半夜起床上下網..你要保重呀...

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Marble,

If u cannot sleep well, try to do some stretching/ ask your husband to give u a massage before sleep. I think that helps to relax quite a bit.

Also dried "loong-ngai" helps sleep, u can eat it just as snack or cook soup.

小肥佬﹐

It sounds like u are good at game eg. card game! Did u like to visit Macau when u were in HK? I like Macau because of its food but I am very poor in all kinds of games.

I only play poker, and also I won't bet too much for each game, just for fun. I would not gamble when I was in Macau, just for relex and eating.. :mrgreen: .. Do you know the casino in Macau has poker game ? ?-(

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

Hi every mommies,

You gals really had some good sharings from time to time. I wish I could join you more often. However, I can barely "handle" taking care of my baby (18m boy) even I have a part-time helper for cooking and some light housework. Sigh ... He's so active and not like eating and always running around. He always had little accidents, so I can't keep my eyes away from him for a second since he can crawl (or even when he can roll over at a few months old)..

leohannahchan,

I also delivered my bb at El Camino hospital. As for the bill, it'll depends on your health insurance. I was still working until my bb was born. My company used to be one of the best companies to work for. They have their own medical plan for employees (medical bill paid directly by company but managed by United Healthcare).

Also, I had c-section after being induced for over 31 hours, so I stayed in hospital for abt 6 days.

Here's the approx. breakdown:

Hospital Ob Doc Epidural Pedi.
Actual charged: 25,000 4,500 1,500 1,000
med. plan paid: 7,000 2,000 forgot? forgot?
I paid: 1,000 200 150 100

U might want to make sure u call the health insur. company once u're in the hospital. I was penalized for $150 for not notifying them for staying hospital for over 96 hrs (for c-section).. I thought the medical staff would take care of it but they might have forgotton.

Also, for the epidural, my friend had the same doc gave her the epidural for vaginal delivery (supposed to be lower dose than c-section). but she was charged for $5000 and ended up she had to pay $3000 (she had blue cross or blue shield ppo).

Basically, El Camino is a good hospital for delivery.

hope that it helps ...

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

SY_Mom

Thanks for the detail explanation and I am so scared as my husband's company just changed to Blue Shield PPO and you mentioned your friend need to pay $3000 for epidural....

:evil: I like El Camino except their anesthesiologists are out of network as they joined union and fight against the insurance company so they work like private pracatice which can be really expensive!!!!!
I heard the same story from my OBGYN 's clinic nurse that they can charge the fee for epidural as much as they want.... :-x
Anyway, I really wish end up the final cost will not that high as when I ask other people, they just told me only paid a couple hundred or less...

Maybe their company's insurance plan is better....

Will you back to work when baby is older?? I am working part-time right now but when baby is delivered and go to school, I want to work as stay home just no fun!!!

Marble
I am as same as you as when first came to USA last Sept, no friend, no relatives, no driving license....and I only stayed home all the time and waited my husband home and then went out a little bit. All I did is cooked 3 meals and watch TV.... :-( BORING!!
Before I came to USA, I was so active in HK, I just didn't like stay home but after I came to USA, I just don't like go out....

I don't know why, maybe I still not familiar to the direction and have to print out all the direction from mapquest before I go...

Are you stay home all the time? Btw, you lived in Hayward which is 1 hr from here...but I never been to your area

I will come BK as often as now as when I move to NC, I guess I have nothing to do...except taking care my baby and online surfing,......

小肥佬
NC is quite similar to HK weather except snow in winter. Maybe typhoon in summer and many trees and open space. I only visit 2 times but most people I met either black or white or vitenamse. But quite peaceful and calm...(Boring) not much Chinese supermarket and restaurants, NC is quite conversative as most people there are Christians and so very religious... :lol: but overall, the cost of housing, gas is relatively a lot cheaper and the city of Cary voted by (businessweek) as the best city in USA for people and business to go there as the cost is low but the quality of life is really good

lor....
But I guess I will still miss CA...haha..because this is the first place I stayed in USA and which really good for me in adapting USA lives...(more Chinese...and Chinese food and most people in SF speak Cantonese)

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

小肥佬,

Yes, Macau casino also have poker. But I did really go inside its casino only once... when my group of friends celebrate our 18 yrs old!

That's my first time to Macau and first and only time to Macau casino, because I found it smoky and bit scary inside. Of course LV casino are much better!

leohannahchan,
Hope your baby fee will not be too high... however there is also nothing to worry, things come in their own ways...

I arrived US last Nov, same situation as u : no friends, no driving licence....everyday waited for my hubby to come home.... Now is much better already, at least I got a job and a driving licence (although I am not driving yet still, too timid on the road!)

;-) How is your baby's hearing? Ask an audiologist! ;-)

Re: Any mother is living in USA now - Part ll

小肥佬,
我也正在听香港電台的"輕談淺唱不夜天", 黃霑是一個很有才華的人, 才六十多歲, 就去世了, 生命的確很脆弱，令人感慨不已。電台不斷播放他的舊歌, 很好听, 但懷舊的情懷亦使人有淡淡的憂緒。今天nyc是陰天，才三時, 天已黑了。 ?-(

Marble, Clarab, little fat man and shiba-Inu,
多謝你們的關心。的確, 來了美國生活後, 有很大的轉變，沒有朋友, 常困在家中，英文又說得不好，加上有時bb又難湊, 很容易情緒低落。前一陣子, 我做全身檢查, 膽固醇很高, 這可能與遺傳有關。但最令人意想不到的是竟然血糖也高。雖然還沒有糖尿病, 但醫生要我注意飲食。唉!!我最"為食", 一時間很多食物都要戒, 真的很不開心啊!! ?-(
shiba-Inu, 你就好了，這麼快就回香港。多謝你的關心，我會pm我的電話給你, 不過, 如果你忙, 便不用在thans giving打電話給我。祝你在香港有一個愉快的聖誕節。在聖誕節, 我可能會去San Diego探姐姐。

Sy-mom, chingbj and Leohannahchan
Nice to meet you. I live in NYC and I have a 5months old boy. I came to USA about half year.

NC doesn't seem like a horrible place. :mrgreen: .. except the snow.. My brother always suggests me to move to other state, like Ohio because everything's cheaper than CA, especally the house, but my hubby said "no" because he loves the weather of CA. After the hurricane, Frances, destroyed a lot of houses in Florida, he persisted in his point that's right. To be honest, I don't think I will miss CA if I move to other state, because my area is not too many chinese and restaurants,so I use to live with different kind of people. To me, the most important is their personality. :mrgreen: Sometimes conservative and religious people are very nice.
I'm stay-at-home mom, it's kind of boring, I wish I couldl take some courses after my little boy gets older or goes to pre-school..

Thanks for telling me, I can answer my hubby's question...
I remember before I came here, the best friends of mine paid me the whole trip in Macau, we also stayed there for 3 days, they were very nice to me..

黃霑既歌真係好好聽..好令人有一種回味既感覺,佢既歌令我一邊聽,一邊諗嘢. 佢既去世,令我好唔開心..

greentree

你都要保重呀..我亞媽都有膽固醇高, 又高血壓.佢有好多嘢都唔食得..無計,為咗健康.都要架啦..我都怕高血壓會遺傳比我架.好彩到依家都好正常,唯有多d check 住啦..
唔好咁唔開心..我初初嚟到美國都係無朋友, 都成日留係屋企..但係我好快就從其他地方找樂趣,如上網, 睇吓書咁, 生活方式真係完全唔同,(以前係香港返工,同朋友出街, 食飯,唱k, 自己逛街買嘢都無問題), 但係可能自己適應力都幾強,所以美國既生活很快便不是問題了. 不過,對我嚟講,最大難題,令我十分苦腦,便是剛剛小肥佬出世.個時真係一下子接受唔到自己成為別人母親,責任真的大到自己都怕攪唔到.情緒很壞,但係很快,我自己都控制得到..所以依家小肥佬幾難攪,我都覺得不是一回事..比d心機,我哋會支持你的..

你又去LV, 記得贏jackpot 返嚟呀.. :mrgreen:
