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

Leo,

BB Chloe looks just like you and you look great for someone who just gave birth....very energetic. About not getting enough sleep, that should go away when Chloe reaches 3 months. By then, she should be able to sleep through most of the nights. Just enjoy the precious moments now becuz believe it or not, they do grow fast and you will miss the time when she is this little. I look at Natalie now and she is a little person already...not the innocent little bundle I brought home from the hospital... :cry: :cry:

Little Fat Man,

We thought about buying a bassinet but my friends told me the bb grows out of it really fast. So that's why we went for a playpen so she can use it to sleep when she's little and to play in later. The playpen also comes with a portable changing table which is the main thing I used for downstairs. Did you talk to mini-matt's pediatrician about his sleeping habits. When I told the dr. that Natalie was waking up at 4 am everyday for the longest time, her dr. told me to just ignore her. So I tried doing that and she falls back asleep after 10 mins. of fussing. She hardly even cries..just babbles a little and makes some noise.

Meeemeee,

If the daycare is already $324 a week, it's comparable to hiring a live-in and she can cook and clean and stand by 24 hours a day.

Whalebb,

After chinese new years is good...hopefully I wouldn't have eaten too much.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Shiba-Inu, Little Fat Man, Whalebb,

When you girls are available, we can meet up together for dim sum on the weekends when our husbands can join. Whalebb, if we get together before your hubby arrives, you can ride with my husband and I so you don't have to drive. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

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

Leohannahchan & Marble,
How can I view your bb's photo? I miss seeing new born!

Natmama & Whalebb,
No, I just drove by the center. It doesn't make sense to pay $324 a week for infant care. Natmama, u are right! if I were to pay that much, I should hire a live in nanny for less $$.
Anyway, I won't let my bb (10 mos. old) goes to the babysitter for a very long time. We'll send him to a licensed day care center probably by 18 months. (The one that my daughter went was great. Licensed bilingul home-style day care. My daughter learned a lot from there! Too bad, the operator decided to close it and went back to school) My daughter started pre-school at 2 yr. & 10 months. She never cried and was able to communicate with teacher & classmates right the way. Pretty independent! Babysitter just feeds the bb with TV!

leohannahchan,
我收唔到INVITATION﹐可唔可以再SEND?
你被我D相呃左喇﹐我肥晒0係下身個躉度﹐哈。生之前149呀﹐成個PREGNANCY我都重左44磅。
我都係催生﹐朝早10點幾入到產房﹐個時開左2度(因之前兩日我OB同我做了MEMBRANCE STRIPPING CUS 我子宮口唔開)﹐跟著洗腸吊IV吉穿水等﹐到到12點幾開到3度﹐跟著打EPIDURAL&加IV﹐後來一直到4點都仲係開到5度﹐BB心跳由140跌落最低70﹐跟著我OB同我插候入水落子宮﹐同埋吸氧氣。OB話可能BB臍帶纏頸或子宮頸夾著BB個頭所以噤。0個時我都好驚架﹐不過後來7點我痛得好緊要﹐噤我叫NURSE同我加藥﹐我OB入黎同我CHK開到幾度﹐原來已開到10度+1﹐話仲有10分鐘生得﹐叫我好痛&想PUSH就叫佢﹐跟著我就係噤鎮﹐跟著就好痛好痛﹐跟著我鬧我老公(哈哈)。跟著醫生/護士入黎同我拆尿候﹐胎水候等。跟著我話唔得喇要出黎(哈哈)﹐跟著PUSH左一陣我OB同老公兩個係度講埋D好好笑既野﹐搞到我個DELIVER過程係笑著噤過﹐跟著BB出左黎我就喊晒口同呀媽係電話講對唔住(哈哈哈)。

Shiba-Inu﹐
你被我D相呃左喇﹐我肥晒0係下身個躉度﹐哈

小肥佬﹐
滲出黎?無呀。不過噴出黎呀~ 阿仔前日剛甩了臍帶﹐噤岩尋日用埋最後一塊NB DIAPER﹐現在用緊1號﹐不過好似好大條噤。阿仔今日好曳﹐一係扭抱一係自己甩左個奶嘴係度叫救命

成日都未訓過

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

Babygigi,

So did you have the epidural when you were delivering the bb. I was also shaking right before the delivery but I couldn't feel anything because the epidural was on. I was numbed when I was dilated to 3 until 1 hour after delivery.

I also have my bb fat around my lower body...hate it very much becuz my jeans fit very tight :evil: :evil:

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

Babygigi
I just resent to you and pls check your email.
You can use natural birth which is good cos I expect natural birth too. But my contractions were so mild and slow and my OB did not think I can make it. So, once she announced I had to go for c-section, I was shaking from the beginning til the end of c-section. Even worse, I was not able to calm down and still shaking for 2 hours after delivered my baby. Now my stitches are swelling and red.

Meeemeee
Pls pm your email and I will send you the invitation to the show.

Natmama
I agreed that baby grow so fast but I am lucky cos my mom arrived here on 1/20 and my baby arrived on 1/19. So, i have my mom to take care me right after I delivered Chloe. But still, she cried a lot and sleep during daytime and cry at midnight. So, I guess I wish I can teach her day and night sooner.

Little fat man
I was very disappointed but worried my baby also. I asked c-section before but rejected by my ob cos she told me she did not do elected c-section. But she is really good and so I did not change to other OB and prepare for natural birth. But when her heart rate dropped and I will do anything for her even I want c-section before. I was shaking and not able to calm down after c-section and the OB had to gave me some drug to calm down

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

Babygigi,

Aiya~~...my friend's ob also turned off her epidural right before she gave birth so she can feel the contraction and push. That must have been very painful since you were numb for so long...I would have "ma cha" everyone...

My ob kept the epidural going for me becuz she is a woman and a wimp like me...hehehe...she said she got her epidural when only dilated to 2cm...hehehe..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I also read an article on Parents magazine and it said that turning off the epidural does not really help with the pushing process...maybe you should update your ob about that on your next pregnancy...hehehe When my bb was newborn, she also "betbet" like 10 times a day but did not throw up. The ped. said it's normal as long as it's not more than 1 "betbet" per feeding. But you better ask ped. about the throwing up...that doesn't sound right?!

Leo,

You are very lucky to have your mom by yourself. I didn't have much help from family becuz my mom and in-law are not in the same country. My grandma cooked for me but my hubby and I took care of bb all by ourselves..."dark ages"....

My husband also wants a 2nd child so I told him only if he can hire help for me or I will run away after giving birth to the 2nd one

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

Marble,
Thanks for the picture. Kyle looks great!
I've also replied to yr hotmail acct.

babygigi and leohannahchan,
U both are heros after having heard of yr birth stories!
I also had unplanned c-section after being induced for over 31 hrs (abt 1 1/2 day - my first nurse when i got in was also my last nurse before the delivery. she's surprised to see me again). Maybe both bb and I were doing fine, so the ob doc just let me keep trying. It was extremely exhausted and I was so hungry (couldn't eat even right after delivery). However, I didn't feel much pain during the labor and delivery, cos I didn't hv much contractions and only dialted to 3 cm right before c-section.

babygigi,
Ryan looks heathy and cute!
R u breastfeeding and supplement by formula? Sorry, I forgot abt it cos there're several newborns here.
Abt the throwing up, it seems to be that Ryan is allergic to the milk-based formula if those symptoms go away after u've switched him to soy-based formula.
My friend's baby had really severe allergic reaction to milk-based formula that she was shocking and couldn't breath after she had it the first time. But she's fine after switching to soy-based formula.

leohannahchan,
Looking forward to the pictures of Chloe!

Meeemeee and Natmama,
Even if the daycare is abt the same price as hiring a nanny, I would send the bb there if it's a good one. Maybe it's hard for me to trust the nannies and usually the good ones won't stay with us. I just had a quite good part-time nanny but she quit after she's worked for us for a few weeks only. I guess she's found any job (baby) who's easier to take care of.
Btw, I heard that Kindercare is good. Maybe because the care-giver and the infants ratio is lower (i.e. 1 care-giver is taking care of lesser infants), that's why they charge more.
The pre-school (Challenger) close to where we live is charging abt the same price. I don't think I like it too much. However, if we're not moving by bb's 3, I might consider sending him there just for convienence (my husband also works nearby).

Meeemeee,
If I remember correctly, is yr older girl going to Fremont Christian school now? If so, how do u like it? I'm also thinking abt sending my boy there after he turns 2 but it's a little far (abt 1/2 hr each way).
I heard that kids will get sick very often in the first month or even during the first year they go to pre-school. Is that true?

LittleFatMan,
Mini Matt sounds a little like my boy when he was younger. Hope that he won't be like my boy, cos my boy started to become very challenging since he could move. He's been driving me nuts!

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

SY_Mom,
Kindercare charge $324 a week for infant care and I do believe they charge less for preschool. Challenger's fee for preschool is about $1100 per month I think. Challenger's style is very much like Hong Kong style (Peking Duck) and it's not for every kid. Schools offer "Open House" in Spring time and you should check out the schools that you had in mind. Then discuss with your husband to see which style you like.
Yes, my daughter is going to FCS and we all like it although we are not Christian. Do u live close to the Challenger in Newark??
FCS just changed their policy last year. Kids can go to Preschool at 2 1/2 yrs old without potty trained. They just charge additional $$. I don't remember if it's $75 a week or a month. They have 2 campus for Preschool. I like the main campus better which is on Thornton Ave.
My answer to your question is Yes and No. It depends on your kid. My daughter was fine but my freind's son got sick all the time.

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

SY_Mom,

I know it's really hard to trust in-house nannies but I think it must be tough to wake the baby up early morning and bring to daycare too. I forgot if you are a full-time mom? I also heard from friends that starting kids too early in preschool do get them sick more easily. My friend put her son in preschool when he was 2 and he got sick all the time...with her daughter, she waited until she turned 4 and she hardly got sick at all. I think I'll probably wait until my daughter is 3.5 - 4 before starting her...it's more work for me if she gets sick :cry:

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

Natmama,

Now my bassinet just likes the product on display in the house.. :evil: ...
I do want to ignore my baby when he's fussing. But I don't want to bother the neigbours, most the time I will hold him until he goes back to sleep...In the other words, I don't want to see his eyes filling up with tear, it breaks my heart... :-|
I didn't have too much help after mini-matt either, my brother cooked for me after work, and my husband just helped me a little.So I lost 35 pounds in a month...

leohannahchan

When my dilation was 10, my OB was still on the way hospital.

(actually my original one was on the vacation..)...The nurse slowed down the Epidural and assisted me in pushing..After 1 hour, I felt horrible without any anesthesia

...Especially mini-matt was on my side way, my left side of pelvis was in painful..In 1 more hour, I tried to push again, over and over. The position of mini-matt was the same..The nurse asked me " Do you want to have c-section ? " I replied her immediately " Yes, I DO" I don't know why my six senses told me that I would have c-section no matter what. I asked my OB about the c-section before, he just said " I don't think you should have a c-section because your baby seems a normal, the position and size" .. ?-( Seriously, I felt so terrible when I was on the operating-table, my hands were shaking and looking at my husband, but I still wanted to know what the nurses , OB and ped. were doing... :mrgreen:
Did I give you my e-mail address ?
Check PM please...

babygigi
How's your little Ryan ?
My little boy also had a "betbet" 5 times a day when he was brand-new baby, but he didn't throw up as yours , even if I fed him a formula.
Let me tell you something, I didn't really want to have 2nd bb after I just gave birth. But now, I change my mind, I really want to , but my husband says "no" ..So "無望囉"

SY_mom

Really ? my little boy always drives me crazy. Last night, he woke up at 3:30 in the morning, he cried when I put him back on the crib. He just wanted me to hold him for sleeping... Finally, I tried to leave him alone in the front room and let him cry...After a few mins, his daddy came out of the bedroom, and wanted to know what's happening. 隻衰豬 stopped crying immediately and went back to sleep afterwards.

..It's really a tough love ar.....

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

SY_Mom,

我黃昏6點幾入院, 自己帶咗2碗白飯同雞肉清水入去食,

食完大約8點幾OB先到至催生... 所以我係好飽, 到第二日中午生完下午4點幾先食野... 我挨唔到肚餓, 所以食定白飯先生BB.

Jenny,

多謝晒, 我好掛住呢D野食! 尤其係雞仔餅!! 一路食一路差D喊咗出黎!!　

Babygigi,

我可唔可以又睇相?
我生果陣時我老公都係到HEHEHAHA, 真係想打鬼佢, 佢仲係到同個OB同D護士講笑, 我同佢講, 你幫我蚊阿B出黎啦, 我頂唔住, 佢話阿B 縮返入去蚊唔到... 叫我再出力D, 我都無晒力啦, 真係激屎. 跟住生完老公話個OB等得悶悶地係到玩呀B女D頭髮, 我話係味真? 好似全世界係我生個陣時得我一個緊張........ 唉...... :evil:

Hannah,

睇咗D相啦, BB好CUTE, 好多頭髮, 講真, 真係要睇返你地D相然後先發覺自己阿B大個咗咁多, 個姑娘一隻手就可以抱住CHLOE, 我而家兩隻手有時都要加埋隻腳先搞得掂阿B女...

我老公話你老公係咪 " in shock" , 睇到佢張相好似好係好緊張咁. :D 始終生咗個幾日都會係咁... HEHE.. 我老公尋晚先係到講緊重係好唔相信自己已經有個女....

哈哈

Natmama,

I'll probably wait until my daughter is 3.5 - 4 before starting her...it's more work for me if she gets sick

agree, I am afraid I don't know how to take care of a sick baby. I would prefer to wait as well...
