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

clarab,
你身體怎麼樣？上次整傷那裡好返未啊？記住勤力的搽藥膏。

babygigi,
我的bb以前在我肚內也是很ative, 結果出世後, 他是一個不喜歡睡覺的小朋友，每天平均睡7-9小時, 到三個月後他的睡眼才慢慢穩定下來。

小肥佬,
你就好la, 整年都不用買bb衣服。我的bb在五個月時開始食gerber的rice cereral and banana. 有很多書都說如果餵人奶, 應該六個月時才餵solid food, 可能怕影響人奶的輸出吧。

chingbj,
我的bb可以十几小時不食奶, 也不覺得肚餓.

各位, 你們認為在哪間公司幫bb影相會較價廉物美呢？

whalebb,
Welcome back!! 我也要減肥. 可能新陳代謝慢了，現在比以前食少了，但都會肥.

Leohannahchan,

My baby uses Huggies Supreme so I usually buy it from Target with coupon. There is a Target next to our Babies R Us and they always try to beat the price so it's cheaper there. If you have coupon, sometimes it will be cheap to get it at Vons (double coupon) when they go on sale. My baby is allergic to Pampers because of the fragrance. It makes her pat pat red.

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

Hi all,

I just had my dentist checkup this afternoon and the dentist told me I need to come back after baby delivered as he told me 1 of my teeth need to have a crown. I heard the crown's fee is quite expensive..... ?-( So, I am thinking not go back and do it when I back to HK (maybe 1 year later)
Do you guys had crown in your teeth before?

Anyway, I had many bad teeth...cos I love sweet things like chocolates, cookies, cocktail buns, sugar soups ...

so...I am so scarced this afternoon as my teeth is so sensitive!!!

I received coupon from Babiesrus this afternoon and got 15% from Pampers/Huggies diapers but 20% from Especially for Baby diapers. Anyone use E for baby before?? I want to try but I don't know its good...

or not?

Clarab
My husband and I went to Wal-mart to check the price and found the brand Dri-Bottom is the
cheapest......

Anyway, I may buy 1 brand like Espeically for baby in Babiesrus when I have coupon and go to Wal-mart buy other brand when no coupon...

Greentea
You can stock wipes when it's on Sale but can you stock diapers when you on sale?? How many bags diapers NB, 1 or 2 you use and maybe I can stock some diapers....too :idea:

Marble
When are you guys moving to here?

Anyway, I already start to drink 符竹白果糖水 and buy water melon law....how about u? You have a baby girl too...

How many lbs you gained?? Hope you not like me.....I am so fat like a ball :-(

Clarab,

Your job sounds very flexible. My work is in office 7-4 so I do not have the same option. I'm thinking of asking if my boss if he would let me do part time if I return, maybe from 7-12. If not, then no choice but quit. I'm just worry it will be too boring for me to stay at home all day with baby. :-| :-|

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

little fat man,

wow! u were great! u were ready for potty-train at 6m old?! maybe yr boy will inherit that from u!

be careful not to give too much rice cereal, banana and apple sauce to yr bb. it might cause constipation for some bbs. after my boy had solids for abt a month or so, he started to get constipation. that's why my mom said potty-train him might help.

"nanny 911" is on which channel? sounds like it's on discovery channel. if so, we have not subscribed for cable channels. anyway, i seldom watch tv since bb was born.

thanks for the info, but i seldom feed my boy any snacks now. i only feed him little unsweet or not-too-sweet crackers, fruit, or Gerber's healthy snacks during lunch/dinner. for a while, he was addicted to only sweet things such as rice/topioca pudding, cookies, yogurt, etc.

for the diapers, we just had the opposite experience from u. initially, my boy used to wear pampers only. however, it leaked out during bed time when he started to roll over at around 3m+. so, we switched to huggies and it was fine.

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

leohannahchan,

u will be moving to NC after bb's born. i think it might be a good place to raise kids there. plus, u can drive to Atlanta to hv chinese stuffs from time to time. that's how we got chinese stuffs in mobile, AL.

as for the crown thing, don't worry abt it. usually the dentists in US will recommend u to get a crown after u had root-canal to prevent that tooth to break. i usally denied it, cos i couldn't stand to hv "vampire teeth" (need to polish it to very small tooth b4 putting on the crown). as long as u're not bitting very hard things, u'll be fine.

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

CHINGBJ﹐
你講開話生完後同老公會哎交﹐我&老公之前都有傾過呢個問題﹐我好霸道﹐老公又硬頸﹐真係唔知哎起交上黎會點哈哈哈~暫時未試過同佢哎交(TOUCH WOOD)﹐唔知哎起上黎點收科哈哈哈~ 不過﹐兩公婆床頭打交床尾和﹐我只怕到時同奶奶嘈﹐老公會幫奶奶﹐到時我就激死。

MARBLE,
你老公噤好請兩個月假﹐如果我老公會噤我就開心開心。我老公已一早通知話唔請得噤耐假﹐只可請3﹐5﹐7日。

如果阿仔OVERDUE﹐佢仲未必日日可係醫院陪我﹐要走黎走去。
佢叫奶奶黎陪我坐月﹐我心稔真係唔好啦掛~
初初我奶奶仲話係到訓埋﹐後來老公話朝朝去車佢過黎﹐唔好係到訓我先無噤驚。嘩﹐日日對仲話夜晚又對埋﹐我驚我產後抑鬱

NATMAMA﹐
oyea? >_< they changed the owner? aiya.. it's the best shabu shabu i have tried in LA. don't know where to go when i go back next time.. u have any gd suggestions?
yea.. 都有幾多架﹐有隻龍蝦仔﹐一隻青花蟹﹐幾隻基圍蝦(HK個種﹐唔係LA叫個隻)肥牛呀﹐鯇魚片﹐尤魚﹐豬潤﹐魚蛋﹐菠菜﹐紹菜﹐西洋菜﹐等等﹐不過樣樣都唔多﹐幾舊幾舊噤。佢地都係靠SIDE ORDER賺錢。CHRUNCHY FISH FILET係咪鯇魚片呀? 係呀好鬼好食﹐唔知點解LA的MARKET無鯇魚賣既?又無梳囉魚﹐我好掛著以前細細個係HK媽咪成日褒既梳囉魚蕃茄湯﹐好味好味~

小肥佬﹐
你阿仔噤叻噤快介左夜奶﹐係佢自自然然介定你同佢慢慢介?
我都未知到時BB出左世等佢自己SCHEDULE食奶好﹐定叫醒佢起身食好? 你有無經驗可分享?
唔好激氣﹐無禮貌無修養的人週街都係

入息證明唔一定要比律司做﹐試下找公證做﹐平好多架。
不過你律司之前話1200全包﹐你有無問佢點解現在又要再比?

SY_MOM﹐
it's extremly cold when you come to NY from LA cus the wealther there in LA is not really cold compare with NY. just like last 2 yrs when i flight to NY in winter to visit my bf (now my hubby), i always got cold haha.. couldn't really get used to the wealther here.

leohannahchan,
i am having a baby boy, and we named him Ryan. we're still having a big headache naming him in chinese now. we didn't buy him lots of clothings cus friends and relatives already bought lil ryan lots of cloths and blankets.. it's already enough til he's 1yr old -___-~ .. baby girl is always adorable ^^; i always went to the infant girl section when going into a baby store before i knew i have a boy, haha.
i am using AE. my hubby has been saving those pts for 7-8 yrs already ahahaha.. he has 20000+ pts, that's why it turns out so much. i think Providian visa is having this too. i know.. mine is the same .. he doesn't really care when buying toys for his nephews. somtimes i think that he's spoiling them.
leohannahchan, i have been working as a dental nurse for 8 years in LA.. DON'T have your dental job done in HK or china. i know the $$ is a lot cheaper then the US, but patients always need their dental job re-do when they come back to the US cus the major dental job in HK/china/taiwan are lousy. you can try chinese dentists in LA, they always charge you cheaper then the american dentists. also, most of them have payment plans offer. or.. if you pay in one time by cash, you can bargin w/ them. do you have dental insurance? i know there's a dental office in rowland heights doesn't charge deductible and co-payments. you will be saving alot =) why you need crown? some chinese dentists are tricky.. better to have 2nd opinion if you need to have major dental work ar. is your case a big cavity? any pain? swelling?
if you choose not to have a crown after the root canel treatment, then make sure not to bite anything hard. if it cracks on the surface then you can do a crown after it happens, but sometimes your tooth might crack inside the root, by then nothing can help beside having the tooth extracted and do a 3 units bridge.

WHALEBB,
WELCOME BACK~
你都唔好講肥﹐哎﹐我星期日個日去產檢﹐鬼整﹐現在140LB。重左36LB 啦﹐仲有6WEEKS先生﹐我稔到時會AROUND 150LB﹐唔知點減~ :cry: :cry: 我現在體返未有BB前的衫褲﹐都唔明點解噤細件都著得落

<~自我安慰能力真係好哈哈

GREENTREE﹐
阿仔係肚內好ACTIVE。我奶奶話熱氣BB唔舒服﹐唔知真定假? 其實我訓好多﹐日日訓12-14個鐘﹐唔知BB出世後會唔會係懶訓豬。
你BB越黎越多肉&靚仔﹐現在幾大?

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

小肥佬
We paid our lawyer $1000 全包 and he is Taiwanese but had over 20 years experience. At first, he charged $1500 全包 and go with interview with us, but I refused as we did not need lawyer to go with you as my friend he work in Immigration told us real marriage did not need lawyer....so we told my lawyer to lower price and so finally $1000 without showing up in the interview. But before interivew, our lawyer will have a rehersal interview for us and asked us some questions. But the iInterview was quite easy and fast. You can see what kinds of questions and other's experiences the immigrantion officier asked in that website.
(You can see my experiences in that BBS too)

http://www.kamya.com/interview/

babygigi

I had 1 upper teeth was cracked (according to dentist) as I already had root canal in hk which only cost me less $100 and my HK dentist told me OK no need crown as crown in HK is sliver....very old fashioned

So, I did not have crown last time but it had a big hole in that teeth....
I did not trust dentist in USA cos some dentists here treat patient's teeth like business. My husband had his dentist checkup first time and the doctor let him had x ray in each single teeth and had proposal for him to meet gum specialist,...e.t.c and proposal cost over $2000(out of pocket) That was the first meeting between my husband and the dentist.....so, I just thought...they want your money right the way.... :cry:.you know i mean!!!
You gained 36 lbs which is normal as I am about the same....

SY_Mom
I guess I will refuse too as child-birth will already cost me so many and then now crown.

I will see maybe next year and after moving to North Carliona...

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

leohannahchan

真係唔該晒你個website,我會去睇吓架啦..咁你記唔記得當時需唔需要拎埋入息証明? 係拎咩文件去証明入息? 我個lawyer 係香港人, 我老公一開始又係衰,見到個adv 係newspaper 係有個死人鬼佬頭既相,就話呢個好, 就用呢個. 就係揾lawyer 又係好似買六合彩咁樣,睇你好唔好運..真係激屎我... :evil:

babygigi

我老公昨日好忙, 佢跟本無時間問得咁清楚,佢就hung up on him 啦. 佢記得話個lawyer 講大約係因為要寫入息証明喎.. ?-( ..但係今日我哋會去佢嗰度拿interview 個封信,所以我會直接再問多佢一次..真係每諗一次,就激氣一次.
:evil:
小肥佬,佢一出世巳經成日瞓..記得仲係醫院時,到咗我哋瞓覺時,我哋就比返nurse 個度睇住佢(因我開刀,所以係醫院瞓咗三晚). 去到之後,見到其他bb喊到七彩, 但係亞仔就係嗰個bb側邊瞓到成隻豬咁..郁都唔郁.

..所以初初真係驚佢係聾架.到咗返屋企,佢平均每晚都瞓四-五個鐘,到咗二個月,佢就自自然然瞓多d啦..我無教過佢架..佢自己攪點..
至於schedule 佢食奶個問題, 我見到有d媽咪,就話好..但係我就無咁做..我都好憎人哋如果我瞓緊覺比人嘈醒,所以我會由得亞仔瞓,佢鍾意幾時食奶,就食奶囉, 我覺得好慘,如果攪醒佢.我依家發覺咗如果我嘈醒咗亞仔(搬佢由我哋張床去返佢個bassinet), 佢會發皮四架,喊得好大聲,但係抱起佢,佢就即刻收晒聲.

SY_Mom

"nanny 911" 喺係channel 11 , 憑星期三做. 我覺得好好睇架, 由一家人既細路,又好鬼屎naughty, 到好大轉變,係個度學到點樣教仔..但係我亞哥就話嘛嘛, 可能佢無仔女要教啩. 唔似得我哋有個bb,所以特別有所感覺..

marble

唔該晒,你d coupon 呀..依家都無乜心情同小肥佬影相囉.我諗要等完interview,過埋christmas, 我老公又得閑先去囉..(諗起interview , 又諗起個搶錢lawyer,我個心又把幾火. :evil: )

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

leohannahchan,
mm.. it shouldn't have a hole after root canal treatment cus the hole should be filled with a silver or white filling. anyway... i guess if you don't wanna have it crowned, then to fill it with silver/white filling is a must, otherwise the hole might fill with food and it will become cavity later.
yes, some of the chinese dentists treat their patients as *business*.. that's why i always suggest patients to seek for 2nd opinion so that they can decide.
i think your husband is having serious gum problem since the general dentist refer him going to the periodontal dentist. ususally the general dentist will deep clean inside the gum himself if the case is only stage1-2, but if the case is serious then they will refer the patient to see a specialist cus mostly they're already stage 2-3 cases and need gum surgeries.
when you say *out of pocket* = copayment? if you have ins, some chinese dentist don't collect from patients, they will just claim their insurance. or,,, they will give patients some discounts on the copayment.
one of my pervios employer is a dentist with *good-heart*. he's christian, and to say the truth, he is the best i have ever worked with all these yrs cus he don't treat his patients as business and will not lie to earn $$. incase you need his office address, pm me and let me know

小肥佬,

Your husband's income tax return should be good enough proof of income. Also ask you husband to look for the checks he sent in to IRS. That is good proof also. I believe the $250 is for the lawyer to find you a fake W-2.

babygigi,

We seldom go to shabu shabu anymore. They opened a new chinese hot pot in rowland heights. The soup base is very good (mongolian style), it's in the Sam Woo Plaza.

Yes, I do miss the crunchy 鯇魚 filet from HK...always eat that when I go back.
