When I was prego w/ Natalie, my grandma made me chicken wine. This is what she put inside: farm chicken (tow gai), black fungus (mok year), peanuts or black beans, rose wine (mu gwai lo), ginger slices, and dates. She will stir fry the chicken w/ ginger for a few minutes, then pour the wine and the remaining ingredients inside. After the soup cooks for an hr, she will add some fried egg strips to it. You can try try...very tasty.
Before bedtime dessert, you can make some birdnest steamed w/ egg white and milk (lots of protein and nutrients). For quick nutrients, I drank the Brands Chicken Essence (Gai Jing). Maybe it was too "bo" for me, I got pimples after awhile so I stopped.
Long long time no see…. Busy with everything and cannot wait for the slow BK…. Maybe we should think of moving our forum to elsewhere that’s faster!
First of all, congrat to Nillie!!! Last time u sang for me when I had nausea, let me sing this time for u la… . I can’t believe that Amanda gets sensitive already.
Whalebb, long time no see! Think of u because u could not come to our gathering every time…. So good that yr husband gets promoted.
Update: I took Karina out of her day care already. She was there 3 months and enjoying everything. However, the thing is, she really gets sick too often. So we decide to hire a nanny for her. She just gets her first teeth! One more thing: she does not drink water AT ALL!!!!! Not even diluted juice/ milk!!!!! I don’t give her the ordinary juice because I don’t want her to get use to only sweet beverage. What can I do? Should I try ice cube?
SY_mom,
you are our sweet heart!!
then I will join over there.
For those moms who live in Eastern USA, we got a forum in Yahoo! group as well for NYBK moms, for more information please contact Darrenmama.

Garfield,
你有BB未?? 如果未BB, 唔駛太担心, 落地生根先去諗喇, 只要你申請insurance more than 1 month, 有好多都俾你有產科福利.. 成半年後至嚟, 唔駛急唓!!
garfield,
放心, 買insurance時佢有生效日期, 只要有打老番工, 絕大多數有醫療coverage, 正如muimui313講, 同公司講有老婆, 加啲錢就cover埋你囉! 我喺老番醫院打工, 佢哋倒轉頭cover我一家大細, 一毫子都唔收, 我哋慳番唔少.. for 生BB, 好多insurance要求你要供款at least 1個月or 半年, 因為生BB好貴, 上年生BB at New york, 冇insurance順產冇麻醉冇complication都要 at least US15,000落樓.. so, once你哋落地生根打工, 有insurance至plan 要BB囉, also, 人生路不熟, 大肚好麻煩, 而settle down, 模清邊到有好婦科醫生, 兒科醫生, 醫院, 小學, well planned before you conceive喇!
Seems like I am not too used to the new Yahoo group yet... reading Chinese is a pain (although I do not type it myself). So coming back to BK occasionally may be a better idea....
Garfield,
Welcome! Don’t worry too much about the insurance, although it’s true that better to have it once u are in US (even before conceive). Without it, u can ask the hospital for a “cash package price” which will usually be a discount – because the hospital receives $$$$ directly from u but not chasing after the insurance company. My parents have the experience of that: when they were here to visit me and my baby (plus my hubby ), they paid $50 for regular doctor visit, whereas the doctor may claim up to $200 if it’s a bill to the insurance company. Of course, if you husband is working, just buy the insurance thro’ his company is the best. In my case, I think we end up paying only about $300-$400 for the whole hospital stay (natural delivery).
Muimui,
How’s Alex? I know that it’s very worrying for u when he is sick. Last time Karina vomited 4 times within an hour and I was so scared!
Thanks for your advice. I also know that water is the best, I regret not giving it to her earlier… now she is 9 months already and only drinks around 1oz (or less) per day….. :( :( :( She has constipation ever since introducing her solid food. Luckily that weather is getting hotter and she is enjoying the frozen fruit now.
Do u remember I sent u an email long time ago asking u about Alex’s day care experience? We moved Karina out of her previous one because she fell sick too often, we are now putting her in a friend’s house. I am thinking whether a smaller day care setting will be good for her. Can u tell me more about your experience?

hi all moms
路過入黎問下野.....
請問如果要由美國寄野(BB野,衫仔etc.)返HK,貴唔貴??
thanks!!!
I think diff states have diff prices, but overall, should be more expensive than HK -> US. Here in LA, an ordinary airmail costs us $0.84.... Also the post office here is not very reliable, it has a record of losing mails. So people here trust Fedex better (of course even more expensive).
