I did not think Target had much good deals yesterday as I bought the Stereo was $29.9(before was 59.9) then when I went to Bestbuy (afternoon)and found out same 29.9 as Target. So, I returned the Stereo to Target same day lor....Anyway, I went to Great Mall and bought some baby girls fleece (buy 1 get 1 free) which is pretty good deal!!

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

Hi Sy Mom,
I brought my older son to HK when he was abt 20 months old. I do not brought a lot of formula because I brought them in HK when needed. That's fine and no problem for my son. Bring more diapers as diapesr in HK is very expensive.
My son cried the whole night (he slept in a crib) when we were in HK, and asked us to come back to USA, that was a bad experinece. We brought him to stay in my bed then he was o.k.
However, when we came back to USA, he refused to sleep in his own bed and stay with us for 3 more years. Until he was 5!!

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

Hi leohannahchan
I would recommend you change to HMO instead of PPO for giving birth. PPO is more flexibile but more expensive. Since you are pregnant, you won't change yr OBGY and hospital, change to HMO to save more money. You only need to pay the co-payment, that's it.

But your due date is Jan 2005, I don't know if you can change it or not. In the mean time, please check with yr husband's insurance as they change the insurance provider in Jan 2005. It might have problem for yr OBGY and the hospital. It end up both (the former and the new) insurance won't pay. I have this experience!

I don't think my little one is chunky, maybe he's just chubby a little. :mrgreen:.. My hubby said , he's just normal size in America..But the ped. still told us that he's taller and bigger than 90% of the same age bb ...
I thought your girl was 4 months old. But now I think yours will be the same age as mine, when was she born ? mine's born on Aug 1...
Before, my hubby also sueggested me to hire babysitter, but I didn't want the stranger to walk around in my house, so I rejected it..I bet you must miss your bb after going back to work...

leohannahchan

It's so easy to show your bb's due date here, you just go to http://www.tickercentral.com/ , and click "make a Ticker ! ", follow the instruction. you' will get it.. try it ..
Wow, your weight's 187 lbs 勁呀..how many lbs have you gain by now ?
I don't think I could go to shopping today because my hubby's still busy for the new house and his work :cry:

你無乜嘢呀嘛 ?! 我聽到都戥你痛呀..我前個上星期,都有小小意外..就係半夜,我起床上網,點知無開燈,一個唔知咁kick 咗落個couch, 咁就好痛咁上網, 點知過咗一陣, 發現濕濕哋,先知道有好多血..過幾日,仲唔小心又kick到嘢,d血又再嚟過...嘩,真係好攞命架. ..你小心點呀..咁就唔好做咁多嘢, 留番比個佬做啦..買平貨事小, 健康事大呀..
你好勁呀,一個人整大餐,我一定唔點呀..今年肥佬個亞哥都有請我哋去,但係時間就唔到,所以無去 lu...

Shiba-Inu

我都無得去買平貨囉.. :cry:
至於幾時搬,依家painting 緊, 之後等換埋carpet, 再清潔吓間屋,咁就搬架啦..不過,睇怕都要等多兩個星期多呀..
無呀, 我老公為咗間新屋,自己工作,都忙到由朝到晚,根本無時間就去同人迫. 我老公話,我哋可以等到過咗christmas 個次big sale 喎...
你就好啦..就嚟返香港, 真係戥你開心呀..記得香港有乜變咗,都通知聲,如自由行咁啦.. :mrgreen:


chingbj

兩個鍾頭,咁咪好辛苦? ..我嚟咗兩年幾,都未去過big sale 既日子買嘢,真失禮.. 我都好想去,但係自己又去唔到,老公又唔得閑,亞哥又住得唔近, 唉, 真係少咗呢d樂趣 tim.

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

Natmama,

Welcome ! I've one boy who's going to 18 mons, and expecting another boy . I'm a full time mom almost 4 years. I don't want someone to take care my baby all day long , even my M-I-L . i remember my baby was around 2 mons old, she used microwave to warm breast milk for my bb, lucky I heard the sound form microwave :evil: , so I told my husband to stop her. otherwise.......


Clarab,

咁慘呀﹐ 冇事嘛 ? 如果仲痛﹐快D去睇醫生﹐ 否則老左會有風濕。 我呢排背脊埋右面 pat pat 都痛﹐ 訓又訓唔到﹐ 個仔而家出好多牙﹐夜晚每 2 個小時醒一次﹐ 真係人都顛


Shiba_Inu,

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

Hi Leohannahchan,

Are you having problems with your health insurance? Unless it is through your company, I'm not sure if you can switch since you are already pregnant. I was on Pacificare HMO when I was pregnant with my daughter and paid on $10 for the entire pregnancy. I plan on switching to PPO starting next year because it's cheaper and more options to change doctors compared to HMO.

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

小肥佬,

Your baby must be very cute and good to pinch...hehehe
My daughter was born on July 29th and will be 4 months in 2 days. I know it's so hard to have a stranger and the house and even give the bb to her. I think most likely I will not go back to work in January. I'm just giving the nanny a try to convince myself what is the better solution. My husband was laughing at me because he said I already know what I want....

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

各位,

經過左兩晚既煎熬, 今日情況已有改善, 背隻痛既地方開始瘀左出黎, 但係痛楚就己經減少, 行路都冇乜使o吉下o吉下咁囉... 不過某一d既姿勢就唔可以郁得咁好, 比起前晚真係好左好多, 多謝大家關心.

Marble,

你仲乜pat pat位痛呀? 係咪跌親過? 定係因為ｂｂ越黎越重? 我有bb時都係咁, hip位成日都痛, 行路真係好肉酸, 不過真係一生完就唔痛囉. 阿仔仔2 個鐘醒一次, 你點頂得順? 你奶奶同你"丁"熱d 人奶? 佢找c 呀? "丁" 左仲邊有d 酵素係到? 不過岩岩睇電視話人奶最好唔好放係雪櫃, 話雪左冇益, 你有無諗住呢胎都餵人奶?

小肥佬,

真係唔知邊到買伽俬平靚正, 不過而家d 家具真係唔會好耐用, 邊到做既都係一樣...

你又係成日踼到野? 我成日都踼親野, 我份一係好粗心大意, 所以成日俾阿媽話我, 佢黎左一個月都有話我, hehe... 我一個星期前先踼到隻腳指尾, 又係流血, 不過就冇好多血, 但係著鞋果陣就夠irritate...

leohannahchan,

係呀, 真係好多媽咪都帶BB去shopping, 有時bb起身起得早掛? 有好多時佢地去shopping 好嘈都訓得著, 好好野架...

不過我記得我好多間公司都係thanksgiving 既shopping spree 平過 X'mas 之後果一日, 如果Christmas 之前果一日都冇咁平, 不過好多間公司都係得幾樣野平, 我公司都係架, 揀d 野平俾你, 其他貨同一般日子都係一樣價錢.

Natmama,

其實係屋企同bb一齊都好開心架. 只不過我個囡開始爬黎爬去, 捉都捉唔住, 成日都想去搞d 膠花呀, 地毯呀, 門呀, 雜誌呀... 好彩佢唔去搞d 電制, 唔係我真係周身都唔掂呀.. :cry: 陰公.. 我都係唔鐘意問老公俾錢, 所以都keep 住份part-time 囉.

Shiba-Inu,

係呀, 要俾tax, 好煩, 唔同香港, 你點樣處置d 錢係由得你, 唔一樣架, 呢到你多d 錢都tax你到c c 下, 所以好多人的錢都係香港架. 你收屋企人$10000 係ok架 (per year), 應該係唔使俾稅果番, 不過$10000 generate 出黎d息就要俾稅, 要自己報, 唔同香港d銀行咁已抽左稅先入落你戶口. 善哉善哉!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

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

Hi Marble,

Wow, 2 boys in a roll. It will be so much fun when they can play with each other. :lol: :lol:
When is your due date? At least you M-I-L was willing to help. My mom and m-i-l both cannot help me. But even if they offer, I would probably say no since they have different style in raising bb. I don't want to have argument. So now, it's either me taking care of ah b or a stranger.

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

Natmama
You are so lucky cos you only paid $10 AND I guess I will not that lucky.... :cry: Cos my husband's company will change to Blue Shield PPO on Jan 2005. With Old insurance (United Healthcare PPO), we estimate around $200 out of pocket. But now, everything is uncertain and new plan will ask us to pay 20% of cost of child birth. :-(
Anyway, we are just bad luck and we can't push my baby out ....right...so... we have no choice lor...

Marble
I will buy 1 dozen and freeze the buns, and will have 2 buns every morning and microwave before I eat. Even fresh cocktail buns are better, but I can't find any good bakery make HK style cocktail bun ...so far
:cry: other than SF Napoleon Bakery

IC
I guess now is too late to change because my OBGYN did not accept HMO and so I have no choice now....but thanks anyway.
IF both former and new did not pay for your childbirth, then how much you end up paid for the childbirth cost?

小肥佬
Thanks for the instructions and I made it la...
My weight was 155 before (I am 5'8) and now is 187. I gained 33 lbs already.....
What is your budget? You only look for brand new couch or you don't mind 2nd hand?? If you don't mind second hand, you can go to www.craigslist.org and then you can negotiate with the seller. If they are moving out, normally, the price will be negoitatble. I bought my bedroom set in Costco which was from American Furniture. The price is pretty fair and you can check out United Furniture which I thought is ok too.

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

Clarab,

有冇查下藥膏 ? 或者叫你老公幫你用雞蛋 "look" 下D疼既地方﹐ 會快D散瘀。 我諗住呢胎餵人奶﹐ 因為我唔想洗奶樽﹐好麻煩﹐ 洗完又要烚 。 ､上一胎餵左 6 個月就冇餵啦﹐
你個女識爬黎爬去啦﹐ 睇緊D呀﹐ 電制D插頭可以去買D野插住D插頭。我都唔知點解個 patpat 會疼﹐ 可能真重左再加上成日要捉住個仔﹐ 仲有就係夜晚時時起身幫亞仔蓋被同埋(乙水)佢訓﹐ 佢訓係 crib 入面要我揸住佢隻手訓呀﹐否則佢會成個企起身玩野﹗ 昨日我去廁所比亞仔笑死﹐ 我去邊佢就跟去邊﹐ 點知跟跟下唔見佢﹐ 當我見到佢時﹐佢拿住一大袋廁紙﹐ 講 "比﹐比比" 當時真係笑死我

Natmama,

我寧願自己辛苦D都唔比 M-I-L 湊﹐ 佢冇經驗架 :-( ﹐ 我老公都唔係佢湊大架﹐ 我唔想同佢 argue。比佢抱下都冇所謂﹐ 比佢湊全日就大大有問題 ?-( 。 我預產期係 jan 25 2005 .

leohannahchan,

我在 ABC 買雞尾包﹐ 味道唔錯架。 好近香港式。你仲買埋 frozen ﹐ 真係雞尾包 fans :mrgreen: 仲有﹐我都好鐘意食菠蘿包 ﹐ 再加一杯凍奶茶就冇得頂 :mrgreen:

Leohannahchan,

There should be an out-of-pocket maximum for your Blue Shield PPO plan. Just plan for the maximum. My coworker was on the PPO plan and had to pay 20%. She had a normal delivery and paid about $1500. Good luck. :wink:

Who watches your daughter when you do your part time? I would consider that too but childcare cost might be more than the part time income.

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

leohannahchan,

Pls don't worry too much abt yr health insurance issue for yr delivery! I hope the information I gave u last time didn't scare you. But I was hospitalized for abt 6 days since I'd been induced for almost 1.5 days and ended up had c-section (so stayed for another 4 more days for recovery). Also, I was penalized ($150) by my company's medical plan since nobody notified them for being hospitalized for over 96 hrs for c-section. If I had a vaginal delivery, I guess I might have to pay for abt $300 only for the hospital bill.

I used to be on Pacificare HMO before I was pregnant, cos I only need to pay for $5 a month from my pay-check. However, I didn't like it. A lot of times the doctors refused to do this and do that for me, cos they said the insurance company won't pay for it. So, I switched to our company's PPO plan (United Healthcare).

After I stopped working, I had to reply on my husband's health insurance. He used to be on Blue Shileld PPO (after bb was born). We didn't like it too. Everytime after we saw the doctors, most likely there'll be bills come after us. When I was on United Healthcare, usually there's no more bills after I paid the $10 co-payment.

So, maybe u can think abt switching health insurance if there're other choices, but of course after yr bb is born.

Btw, if u plan to give birth at El Camino hospital, I heard that you could negotiate the payment with them (like asking for paying by installments or discount, etc. don't know if it would make a difference to u).

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

Marble,

Is yr boy 18m old now? Mine is 19m old (born around Easter 2003). Yr boy sounds a little like mine. He used to like climbing out from the crib, so we've switched him to a twin-sized mattress (with bed-rails on) when he's around 1-yr-old. He used to like palying w/ bathroom tissue rolls. He also likes to say "give give give" or "no give, no give".

do u plan to send him to school after 2-yr-old?
i'm thinking to send my boy to school after he turns 2 or 2 1/2 but i still haven't got a chance to explore for the schools yet.

Where do u live? i live in north san jose.
