Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

各位靚靚媽咪,
你哋覺得先完bb後, 應唔應該用產後腰封呀??

Clara,
阿老公冇流口風… 只不過係個老闆娘啫, 有日去佢嗰間餐館食飯, 佢就話 “我聽我老公講話你會去buffet到開party喎(佢哋有兩間鋪)…. 幾時呀??” 我話 “吓…吓…吓…你講咩呀?” 跟住阿老公就話 “哎呀!!! 佢唔知o架! 我阿媽諗住俾個驚喜佢…..” 呵呵…就係咁我咪知囉!

Mexcian Radio, 乜咁大整蠱呀?!!

Shiba,
老公係香港人嚟o架…佢成日都話 (唔知醜), 佢除咗鍾意beyond之外… 佢都好鍾意黃秋生 (黃sir)… 佢話希望阿仔大個咗似佢咁話喎....
係喎…生日卡裏頭唔記得加多句 “快啲冇晒morning sickness, yeah, yeah!!!!”

Nillie,
你真係辛苦囉, 大肚嗰陣….日日都嘔到七彩… 阿肥bear bear老公一定心痛屎lu…..

我想問唐人街邊到有得買Nursing Bra呢??

仲有呀…衫仔同帽仔家姐會鈎o架啦… 不過佢唔識得鈎鞋仔…. 如果你真係有時間, 咁我就唔客氣啦:mrgreen: …..

Natmama,
衰鬼… 你阿女真係好得意噃!! 阿老公又讚到唔停口….所以我已經save咗落電腦啦, 得閒慢慢欣賞...

至於preparation呢家嘢…查實我都唔晒返工, 日日喺屋企, 應該會有好多時間… 但係我懶懶囉… 執下又停下… 進展得頗慢….唔…睇嚟都要捉埋老公一齊執lu…

坐月… 希望阿媽可以嚟到啦…. 搞緊visa (本人最厭惡嘅工作之一)….如果真係嚟唔到, 就唯有靠自己或者叫下老公幫手 (不過識佢咁耐, 整過1次早餐俾我食….仲要係粟米片加奶)

Junw,
聽你講對孖仔無事就放心…希望你儘快搵到個保媬啦…. 我今日32 weeks 啦, 預產期係5 月5日, 第一胎…

Greentree,
Babyshower有好多surprise….不過最surprise都係阿仔揀嗰日出世囉 :mrgreen: …..

住喺我呢到, 當然冇咩好處… 但有時又諗…得閒有得落下去NYC / Chinatown,都幾好呀…所以少少嘢都覺得有意思, 好難得 e.g. 一杯凍奶茶, 已經好滿足lu…..

Muimui,
生日快樂呀!希望你工作順利&最緊要身體健康and of course 每日靚靚啦!!!

小肥佬,
你老公咁好, 特登趕返嚟送禮物俾你....

你係勁嘅, 仲玩埋自創, 今晚食咩餸呀??俾心機呀….我支持你….

Mini-matt成日掛住玩… 唔肯食嘢… 我聽到都心疼囉, 何況做阿媽!! 你老公又點睇呢??

係呀, Beyond 解散lu… 前嗰排先係香港搞完告別, 佢哋順便嚟埋美加囉…. 我估LA都有得睇….唉!! Beyond前兩年先搞個20週年演唱會… 嗰陣仲有去睇… 都冇諗到咁快會解散…

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Clarab, Natmama,
I am now in my 10th week... and the morning sickness is still there :cry:

Thank you for your encouragement, I will add oil and looking forwards to the "honeymoon" 2nd trimester ka la!!!

Natmama,
Concerning the mall in old Pas, we have been there before and we like it very much. My husband likes to shop for sporty things in a shop called "Snail's Pace" and he found a good pair of running shoes last week. But he is so traditional Chinese, saying that he won't buy shoes during the month of Chinese New Year... ?-( So he waits until I go to shop for clothes next time! But the fact that parking costs $2 / hour is :evil:

whalebb,
So good that u can met Natmama so often now! Quickly practise freeway and come to visit me la! (hehe... me also not driving on the freeway now, so it takes me 1 hour to drive from home to office

)

Nillie-mom,
Maybe u sing the Mother Goose to me so that I can sing to my bb next time

?

Junw,
Can I have a look at your lovely twins too? My email is [email protected]

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

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Shiba-Inu,

For the pasadena mall, I believe you can get parking validation when you purchase from their stores. Next time you go to mimi maternity, ask them to stamp the parking for you. Maybe we can meet up next time you go

Since you have a long commute to work, try to do some stretching before and after you get out of the car, sitting too long can be stressful...take care la

...1st trimester almost thru....

Whalebb,

Check you pm la....I'm confused...

Zic,

Did you do the 4d sonagram yet

Don't forget to share the pictures here

Little Fat Man,

It was nice talking to you yesterday, really look forward to meeting you in the future

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Zic,
How's your bb 4-D coming out? Forgot whether u have a boy or a girl? ?-(
Don't worry too much about your mom's visa, she should be OK. Does she know English? If not, prepare some cards to her so that she can show to the customs. eg. your address and phone no. , a card saying "I only speak Chinese (Cantonese), please help me to find a translator" and one important one "I am coming to US to take care of my lovely daughter who is going to give birth to my lovely grandchild"! Remember to put both Chinese and English on them so that your mom can read them too!

小肥佬,

所以我昨日自創咗chicken cake 呀...我加埋中國既dried mushroom,佢話d mushroom, 好funky taste 喎..你知唔知有無作用架? 你知唔知, 我個ob, 個診所,有玩埋acupuncture 架,第一次,佢問我有關既嘢,我都唔知點答佢好,因為我都無學過...但係佢就話比我知,如果個胎未轉頭,可以用acupuncture 既方法,係隻腳度"吉"吓,咁個胎就會轉頭,好神奇呀..

Dried mushroom should bring out the good taste of chicken. u can go to Ranch 99 to buy "sliced Shiitake Mushroom" which is convinent and taste good. Remember to add a little bit of Chinese cooking wine to the chick if u are cooking Chinese dishes.

Regarding acupuncture, I agree with Nillie-mom: I recognise its effect as I have tried it so many times before. However, I don't really trust Westerner on that.... ?-( I am just afraid that they are "half bucket"! Last time when I was a volunteer in the East-West medicine clinic, I learnt a little bit from the clinicians and know that there are some acu-points that pregnant women cannot use la... ?-(

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

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Junw,
我老公也一樣有"健忘症", 他會忘記我們的anniversary, 拍拖紀念日(事實上並沒慶祝過), 情人節等, 他說你要接受我是一個不浪漫的人, 就算他記得, 他的禮物一樣很"騎呢"

"Hi Greentree,
Yes, they are very active, and always like to do things together, especially tear off the toys and the ABC mat."
Hehe, 我想起兄弟同心, 其利斷金這句話。

whalebb,
I will share my and my bb's photos with you after arranging them.

Clarab,
我姐姐的仔每次食野都好似打仗咁, 令我好怕, 所以我好想我的仔有一良好的食野習慣。他現在喜歡坐在高椅上, waving his feet, waiting to eat. He eats pretty well and can finish his meal within 30mins. His meal includes one bowl of congee and fruit. 當他伸手搶spoon, 我會停止餵他, 並要求他把手放在膝頭上, 他想食, 他會照做。我想等他大個些才令他自己試用匙食。不過, 可能他現在還不懂行路, 所以肯乖乖地坐在high chair上。

小肥佬,
I agree with Natmama, you can set a feeding schedule for mini-matt when he starts to eat solid food.

Zic,
嘩!BB發達啦!!! 希望你唔係收太多newborn嘢啦,因為BB好快大...如果佢哋送定3-6個月嘅BB嘢就好lu..
nursing bra, 去elizabeth street...寶榮行相反方向, 係bayard street 同canal street 中間,五分局隔鄰...叫伊利沙百中心, 直行入去見髮型屋前, 右邊有內衣鋪, 老板娘好care大肚媽咪, 佢有啲好滑和軟嘅nursing bra...我買咗6個,因為有時冇得用洗衣機, 仲冇乾衣機, 所以買多啲, 你問老板娘你需要幾多,ok?老板娘唔會一次賣6個架, 佢會等你開1-2個,用過好先俾你買多啲, 好多餵人奶,坐月嘅嘢都係佢教我,佢仲由我大肚睇住我生,到而家Amanda19個月大lu.
好喇!鈎鞋仔啦..BB係仔定女? 你今日照4D...希望BB乖乖,等所有美國媽咪會啲姨姨留o下口水先!
Shiba_Inu,
好啦好啦...想聽セ嘢歌仔先...hee hee我有好多存貨在家啊!
各位孕媽咪,
ＢＢ七個月大時(28-30weeks)... pen is broken down..*sigh* their ears are well developed, so you can play listen for them.. they can hear you talk as well.. when play music, you can place the head phone close to your womb, they can hear that ... :) play the single song .. over and over again... research said that when BB born, and under stress.. if they can hear the same music again.. they will easier to calm down.

also they said... to play the Mozart music, which can help the kids to improve their brain development..

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

各位,

mini-matt 出牙仔啦..唔怪得佢一晚醒成三,四次咁多啦..

Shiba-Inu

我老公自從戒咗酒之後,屋企唔比放有alcohol 既嘢係度.所以我都唔會落酒架...

zic

shiba-Inu 提到你亞媽袋定d中英文卡..我又諗起d嘢..記得check-in 時,同個airline 出ticket既人講,你亞媽一d英文都唔識,咁佢哋就會有專人照顧你亞媽架啦..我記得有一年,我朋友既mother-in-law, 佢係德國人,一d英文都唔識,又係同個airline d 人講,咁佢全程,就有人睇實佢啦... :mrgreen:..希望你亞媽簽visa個度無問題啦...
我老公對於亞仔食唔食得飽,佢好似好pro 咁話" 你相信,佢飽架啦,,佢唔飽自然會喊,叫架." 頂...

Nillie_Mami

我個ob 有個中國女人係個度做嘢, 佢係做acupuncture 個part囉...聽個女人accent,唔係喺美國土生土長個隻,所以基本上,都係中國人做acupuncture 囉..
其實楂六個鐘頭車,對於個b嚟講都好長..除咗佢真係好眼瞓,如果唔係,佢一定醒..妨且,坐咁耐,都會坐到怕啦..

natmama,

我都好開心同你講電話,得閒,約埋whalebb出嚟見吓面呀..我哋實有排講呀..

..係呀,我都入咗好多貨呀, 計計埋埋都有成40 jars 呀..

whalebb,

好呀,我得閒會打比你架啦..

Clarab

我同個衰佬講, cash 係最好既禮物.. :mrgreen: (我好似money hunger咁)

junw

你錯啦...個衰佬未搬之前, 佢都係唔記得我既生日,成日要問番我..但係搬咗之後,我哋住係unit 306, 咁我係3月6日出世,所以佢無得話唔記得囉...
至於Avocado既問題,我未比亞仔食,但係我就唔鍾意食囉..

greentree.

未呀,我都未讀任何課程,因為之前想enroll 係long beach city college 既on-line course,但係個時未有green card，所以未等吓囉,當有時,個過咗時間,所以依家等下一個semester ,睇吓點先...
我都有餵佢食solid food 架啦.乜嘢既如peas, banana, spinach, sweet potatos. squash 等等,我都有比佢食..佢都會食,但係唔係食好多囉..

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

whalebb:
My waist is 40 inches now :mrgreen: everyone said my belly is getting so big now :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

clareb:
I am doing fine, just feeling tired a bit sometimes but at least I can sleep and eat normally now

zic:
yeah, lucky that the bb size is pretty good, I have a friend she has only gained total of 19lbs for her entire pregnancy and the baby weights 7.5lbs

, I wish I am like that too but I doubt it

If you like the "hong kong milk tea" and is hard for you to get them at upstate, there are the instant one, just mix them with water and my hubby and sister said they taste pretty good. The brand name is "Ta Chi"(chinese word - prince), you can get it from the local chinese grocery store in chinatown.
I got my nursing bra from the "motherhood" maternity stores, (most shopping malls have it) is pretty good too.

nillie_mami:
There is a chinese beauty salon in S.I. ,my sister told me before, it is located at the Forest Avenue, I will ask her next time for the information. If you can go to chinatown, I will PM the info. for you the one I usually go :lol:
I didn't bring my son to Toronto (long ride)

until last year, when he is already 3 years old. He always sit very still in the car and I have never buy any special toy for the car seat purpose. Maybe you can buy some toys for her, little ones and bring them with you during the trip and start giving her one by one.

greentree:
No problem la, I think your son is in a pretty good shape, I don't think he needs any vitamin now until he switched to the whole milk but if he is not anemic ( a lot of kids will develop that after they turned 1 because they don't eat very balance), don't give him the one with iron in it. (too much iron will make his teeth turn yellow gar ) just buy him the regular one is fine. :lol:

junw:
I didn't let my son to the nursery school until he was 2 years and 8 mos old, I think the best is between 2.5 and 3 when their immune system is a little bit stronger

little fat man:
If mini-matt like solid food, you can give him a little more of that, just mix the formula with the cereal instead of mixing them with juice or water, in this way he can have more formula. Relax a little bit, I know is a hassle when the little ones don't eat well but I am sure you have tired very hard already cheer up

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Thank you all mamas for the info on pre-school. I probably will wait till they are 3 year old.

Zic,
I didn't use the 產後腰封 after giving birth, maybe that's why my big tummy stays. I wonder if that will still work if I use it now -- after giving birth 1 year. ?-(

Little fat man,
I agreed that $$ is the best gift

I guess that's why my hubby doesn't buy me gift anymore, because he was saying that his $$ is equals to my $$. If he use up the $$ to buy gift, then he will has less $$, by that means I will have less $$ too, then I will not be happy. I guess he has a really good logic, right.

whalebb,
I didn't send you email, I sent you a PM. I am not sure if I have send it correctly, as this is the first time I sent PM here

Let me know if you don't get it.

Beverly Hills mall is quite nice...they have LV store there but taxes is cheaper if you buy at southcoast becuz it's in orange county

If you end up buying at beverly hills, ask for Jesse...he is very nice ga....also has good taste becuz he's gay gay day:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Little Fat Man,

Maybe becuz mini-matt's gums are hurting, that's why he's not eating well. Few weeks ago when
natalie was teething, she also would wake up in the middle of the nite. I gave her some warm water instead of milk and I think it helped her

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie_mami,
Marcus had his check up this afternoon. He is not even 20 lbs!!! Height is 28 3/4 inches. He was about 18 lbs 8 oz at 9 mos. Doctor said don't worry about his weight as long as he is eating well and being healthy. He didn't gain much weight because of the stomach virus the week after Chinese New Year. I told her what Marcus eats in a day and she said that we are totally fine. We can give him whole egg and whole milk now.

Why don't you buy a couple of small new toys/books for Amanda. Don't let her see them until you are in the car. That should keep her busy for a longer time.
We took Candace to LA for a few times when she was little (before we had Marcus). It's about 6 hours drive and she did fine every time.

Just this past Thanksgiving, we made a last minute decision to drive up to Vancouver. Oh! it was about 15 hours. We left our house at about 11 or 11:30 p.m. when Candace and Marcus were asleep. We just moved them to the carseats. They woke up at around 7 a.m.

We have the DVD in our Sienna van but Candace hardly watches any movie in the van. It's more for my husband to watch scary movie by himself. You are right, we don't want Candace to become 4 eyes girl

You must feel good and relax after your exam on 3/8. Poor me, it's my turn to study la. My real estate license will expire in Nov. (we have to renew every 4 years), so I have to take 45 hours of continue education and also I have to study for my broker license. There are 5 books that I need to study and get ready for the State exam. Woo woo, each book is thick like yellow pages!

:-(

Zic, the little rat

and Shiba_Iru,
I think I am the biggest rat in the whole world!

My son is 1 year old already and I'm still that fat! I really need to add oil on weight loss. Can't use this excuse anymore," Oh! I just had a baby!!"

cutie_ma,
咁你介唔介意留你介紹(唐人街)間美容院資料俾我..可以PM俾我嗎?

zic,
我都冇用產後腰封, 因為餵人奶可以修身同瘦身呢!
你媽咪坐邊間航空公司啊?坐國泰多數唐人, 空姐好多講廣東話, 香港上機前叫家人同地勤講auntie佢完全唔識英文,就會有空姐帶佢過海關,叫Auntie放心,空姐通常會幫,唔係一落機,其實啲人都會幫你媽咪架喇...
佢要填I-94form, 所以你要俾你美國嘅英文地址Auntie, 叫空姐幫佢填啊! cathay 上年7月已有直航...香港到紐約甘迺迪機塲(JFK airport)...機塲好大, 所以要小心, 一定要俾低你手提電話號碼你媽咪...叫佢問香港啲電訊公司有冇漫游服務..咁Auntie會覺得有安全感啲... 教佢一出事, 就打311話"chinese"就會有翻譯員幫佢.(only in new york city 內),如果係坐continental (CO) 美國大陸航空就會newark紐瓦克機塲(new jeresy)落機... terminal C出閘(佢哋自己包咗個terminal)...大家都係直航,唐人一樣咁多... 但空姐俾我嘅感覺continental冇咁helpful.
仲有啊....記得真係要帶中英文字咭啊!
唔駛担心, auntie只不過係一個小C9,好似我媽咪同姑姐咁, 佢哋會批visa嘅...
今日照四仔照成點啊...好相睇相呢!
