It took about 3 days before my bb started liking the rice cereal. Make sure you don't make it too thick. Try to keep the texture similar to stage 1 bb food. Today, I started giving her oatmeal cereal because I ran out of the rice cereal and she also eats 1 Tbsp of fruits (applesauce, banana) with the meal.
I still remember all the freedom I had before getting married and having baby. Now I regret not travelling more before my bb arrived. It will be at least 5 years before she can enjoy a vacation with me. My husband wants a 2nd bb...I said not unless you can hire a maid for me...I rather go back to work if I have to take care of 2 bbs myself. Making $$$ comes easier for me than full-time mom.
Clarab,
I try to speak cantonese to my bb too but sometimes I forget and start speaking english. I think it's important for our bbs to learn chinese. Many more opportunities in the future.

you've been here for a long time, you speak English all the time, no wonder you forget how to speak Cantonese..One of my friends in Germany has been there only 4 years, "詞不逹意"or "要諗好耐" always happens..
I did try feeding him a thick or thin cereal, but it was the same. I think I should give him more time to do it.
I miss my old lifestyle, I remember I would travel once a year when I was in HK..Now ?
My husband doesn't wanna have 2nd child. He says " one is enough." but I want to... :cry: ...

Don't worry...I didn't have any contraction until I was bleeding. We went to the hospital, I only had 1-2 dilation, so they sent me back home. After 1 day, I gave birth to mini-matt.. At that time, mini-matt arrived 5 days early.. :mrgreen: ... Just take your time...just think the best....
clarab,
Chinese Embassy is not too close to me, but not too bad, maybe I have to drive 45 mins to 1 hour. my brother can get the form to me, he just did it last year, so he could help me a little..
Congratulations on getting your greencard.
You are lucky your husband only wants 1 baby la. I wish my husband can think the same. He thinks our daughter needs companion later. Like Whalebb said, you should hurry up and get your drivers license. It's a lot more fun when you can take the baby out when you're husband is at work. I take Natalie out almost everyday after her morning nap.
Whalebb,
Sure, I can meet you in the office. I'm meeting my friend for lunch next Tuesday. How about next Friday, is it okay with you? I can feed my daughter first and give you a call when I'm done...probably around 11:30 - 12:00.
Clarab,
Do you let your daughter watch TV? I noticed my daughter is more interested in Chinese TV then American Cartoons. I think she probably understands more chinese or prefer looking at chinese people. She's giggle sometimes when we watch chinese drama.
Leohannahchan,
I was the same as Little Fat Man, didn't have contractions until I started bleeding 9:00pm. Stayed at home until next morning 11:00pm and got to the hospital and was only diliated to 2....then my doctor stretched me to 3 and admitted me. Then she gave me the epidural, pitocin, broke my water, 9:00pm next day, my daughter was born. 24 hours of labor and felt no pain after the epidural.
阿囡睇電視全部係睇英文, 我冇中文電視, 我都想有, 不過太貴. 我冇俾佢睇太多, 通上都係早上睇Dora the explorer, blue clues, miss spider, or Little Bill. 其它我冇俾佢睇. 佢好全程投入, 對眼好似痴實個電視機, 所以我呢幾日開始俾音樂佢聽, 睇少左電視. 佢有時會好似Daddy睇football時大叫大呀...
