Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

junw,

what kind of programs (in what languages) do u usually write? i was in software engineering consulting for the past few years, so i was involved in different phases of the SDLC (including development) for different projects. however, most of projects were not local in the past few years, so i had to travel every week (mon am to fri night). usually i could work from home only when i was not working on any projects. so, u're so lucky that u can work from home.

anyway, if i look for a job again, i would defintely don't want to be a developer since i hv stopped working for almost 2 yrs now. i don't wanna compete w/ those single computer nerds and give myself so much pressure.

does yr work require conference calls a lot? with ppl in foreign countries? if so, it might be tough for u, cos i hv a friend who's doing tech support for europe while taking care of her bb and ended up hv to quit the job. otherwise, it's better for u to hv a full-time nanny while u're working from home. but some nannies don't like the parents working from home ...

btw, as far as i know, most preschools here usually start from 3 yrs old (or 2 yr 9 mo). some called early preschools will start from 2 yrs old, and i'm looking for that for my boy since whoever takes care of him for the whole day is so exhausted! if u decide to let yr boys go to school at 3-yr-old, u would need to arrange for the babysitting for 2 more yrs, right? if so, u might wanna look for a smart nanny cos u hv twins. also, it's harder to look for nannies for the boys who start to walk. the nannies in the bay area like to pick the easy jobs, cos they hv so many jobs to choose from.
good luck!

would u mind to share yr boys' pictures w/ me? i'll pm u my email address. thx.

oh! forgot to send u the chicken wing site. here u go:

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

little fat man,

when my boy's abt mini-matt's age, mostly he ate congee (w/ ground fish/chicken/pork and carrot/tomato/spinach/broccoli, etc) and cereal (rice/oatmeal/barley) w/ breastmilk/formula. i don't remember if he's actually eaten the ground chicken/pork or we just put them in as the soup base. 99 started to feed him thin rice soup at 5m as he lost lots of weight after illness. (she wanted to feed him solids at 4m so we comprised at 5m). at the very beginning, he liked the congee from much and didn't hv too much breastmilk/formula. however, after a few months, he's completely tired of the congee, so he started to introduce him bb food at that time. however, he liked certain kinds of bb food only.
it might be surprisied to u that we didn't start the solids from baby food (maybe 99 not familiar w/ that).
if i could rewind the clock, i would definitely let him eat baby food w/ cereal only (in this case, he might not become such a picky-eater now!)

easy recipes that my boy used to like:

1. mashed banana w/ oatmeal cereal:
- pick a ripe banana and peel it (use silver spoon to "quat") and mixed w/ appropriate amount of oatmeal cereal. formula might also be added if u want.
(p.s. banana might be constipating for some bbs and oatmeal will help constipation a bit. for the first time, try little banana and little oatmeal cereal first "separately" to check if bb's poop poop is ok).
egg yolk could also be mashed and added to the above. start w/ 1/4 egg yolk first and up to 1/2 egg yolk each day (and up to 1/2 egg yolk every another day).

2. mashed pear w/ cereal (oatmeal, barley, rice)
- pick a ripe pear and peel it and mixed w/ appropriate amount of oatmeal cereal. little white grape juice might be also added if u want.
(p.s. pear helps constipation, so don't feed bb pear when he has diarreha.)

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,

i think amanda should be fine to go for a 6-hr trip.

here're some toys that she could play w/ in the car:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00012TISM/qid=1110611784/br=1-1/ref=br_lf_t_1//103-9585576-1931004?v=glance&s=imaginarium&n=13744401

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000067P6G/qid=1110611906/sr=1-28/ref=sr_1_28/103-9585576-1931004?v=glance&s=imaginarium

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000789TI/ref=br_fq_t_th_1//103-9585576-1931004?v=glance&s=toys&n=283061

btw, we've kinda decided going to HK end of the month and will try to book for tickets tomorrow, although we're also scared that he won't sleep at all on the 14-hr trip. most likely we won't hv him to take the Hep A shot now and wait til his 2-yr-old check-up. all our friends' docs didn't ask their bbs to take any extra shots for the HK trips although some hv taken flu shots.
thx for yr detailed info again.


meemee,

didn't know that u're real estate agent! how long u've been in the industry?

btw, as a guideline, babies' weight should be triple by 1 yr. what's Marcus's birth weight? my boy was born at 8.1 lb and he's also < 20 lb at 1-yr (coz sicked twice between 3-5 mo.) his doc also said he's fine although he should hv been > 24 lb by 1-yr according to the guideline.
usually birth weight is 6-8 lb so mostly 18-24 lb (triple) by 1-yr (again as a guidline only).


cuttie mommy,

how old is yr boy now? when is yr second one due? boy or girl?


whalebb,

yes, beverly hill mall is so nice! i was there years ago when we went to LA, and i wish i could go back there for shopping ...


To all moms,

Hv a nice weekend!

SY_Mom,

Wish you happy eating & shopping there! Is it your bb's 1st time to HK?
This is my 8th year in business la.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Whalebb,

I'd love to join you and your friend to go shopping. If someone can take are of Verniece for you on the weekends, we can go even before your friend comes. I don't mind driving if there are no babies in the car. I just have to let my hubby know so he can watch Natalie for me :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Meeemeee,

Good luck on you continue education and exam. It must be hard to pick up the books again especially with 2 babies.

Babygigi,

The email of the chicken dish was so funny and bad How is little Ryan doing Haven't seen you, marble, and hannah for quite awhile

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

SY_mom,
Amanda 一歲生日時, 肥bear bear老公嘅polytech 舊同學送咗你suggest 咗啲玩具, 好啦, 我會再同肥bearbear老公講吓, 你哋講得啱, Amanda成19個月, 俾佢試吓坐6個鐘車咯...16個鐘嘅飛機我唔驚, 點解要驚6個鐘頭車... ?-(
我會而家收埋個leap frog, 同入積木, 再買啲同一system嘅組合... 因為我好想去一去旅行呢..... 又要等天氣暖先可以去探Clarab, 咁Amanda同BB唔駛著到成個雪人+不倒翁咁嘛..
muimui,
你唔好咁講啦, 我只係有資料喺手至可以俾到你...如果唔係要search....就會有難度, 我大肚時有訂孕媽媽(香港)...爸爸會轉寄俾我, 加上我會做剪報... 以前住二伯家(寄人籬下)時, 佢哋有訂壹週刊, 我咪喺佢哋睇完唔要時剪起所有教煮餸嘅專欄收埋收埋咯....而家weekend有時得閒咪睇睇資料簿啲食'普'照版煮'碗'咯!

meeemeee,
oic...咁就ok喎! Amanda13個月都飲whole milk,一來平好多, 二來唔驚買唔到奶, 去邊玩就買到邊, 連攞都慳返, 尤其係上年10月尾, 我連奶都唔駛care, 上機落機慳番好多力... 返到hk又度度有惠康,百佳,7-11....真係好方便... 想返起Amanda7個月大時, 返hk17囚帶20枝ready to use 嘅similac, 用晒個喼啲位, 又重又辛苦呢, paedi一定要我哋帶formula返香港以防Amanda水土不服呢!... 嗰個trip真係nightmare....肥bear bear 老公話我哋做咗'咕喱'呢!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

你地講開禮物驚喜, 我老公又係好"騎呢". 佢試過送無線keyboard 同mouse, 又試過送大富翁--因為佢想我陪佢玩.

講開牛油果, 我好鍾意用avocado+奶或豆漿+蜜糖+冰, 搞到好似smoothies咁, 好好味.

係呀, 如果媽咪唔鍾意食某樣野, 個bb都好太機會唔鐘意食果樣野. 好似我媽媽唔鍾意食豆腐, 青椒, 紅蘿蔔, 青豆等, 我細個時, 佢好少整呢

Oh yeah! I remember when we first took Candace to Vancouver when she was 10 months old. We were like migration! Ready to use Similac, extra bottles, diapers, bath tub, baby food, extra clothing...It was just crazy!

Yeah yeah! I have just received the "siu mun tim" chinese hand writing board.

Happy birthday to you too!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

SY_Mom

Thanks for you big tips....
I didn't know pear helps relieve constipation Fortunately, mini-matt doesn't have diarrhoea during peak teething time ( touch wood )
He just wakes up a couple times a night..


muimui313, Shiba-Inu

Happy Birthday to you guys... ...
Regarding to the present, my husband bought me the stuffed animal for my birthday's present this year, I figured out it's a Pug, not a Boxer....How dare he said it's a Boxer for sure... :-x ...
I remember he bought me a toaster, cordless phone for last Christmas presents because we were moving ....


Shiba-Inu

do you enjoy your pregnancy ? When I was pregnant, I really didn't want to put the makeup on either..Just thought about what I should eat and do at that time ...( no seafood ? sigh. no lamb ? sigh. no watermelon ? sigh. no....) ?-(


muimui313

you were vegetarian ? how did you feel ?
My sister is vegetarian coz of religion since she was 20 something. Now she is 46 la...To me, it's pretty hard to live with no meat ... ..But I've quited eating beef and pork for 8 years ..
Don't be sad. You're natural beauty ma..

Natmama,

Last night, mini-matt was horrible. He woke up at 1:00 in the morning and kept crying over 15 mins. I tried to hold him, rock him, pat him and talk to him, but it didn't work ..His daddy was so furious ,he could not sleep in the past few nights because of mini-matt. He came to the living room and cussed us " what the hell you're guys doing ? where is the piece of shxt (mini-matt) ?"... ...Mini-matt heard his dad's voice, he stopped crying, opened his eyes and looked at me . After that, he went back to sleep with no hassles ... ...maybe he scared his dad.. ?-(


Nillie_Mami

you cancelled the trip ? that's too bad....I remember when mini-matt was 3 months old, we had to stop at gasoline station because he was hungry and kept crying on the way home..So I can picture what will happen to you guys (6 hours ?)... My husband wants to go to Lake Tahoe again, but I said "NO" coz we have to drive 9 hours from LB to there..I really don't want mini-matt going crazy , I'd rather than stay at home..


meeemeee

you're not a big rat...I got 2 rats at home now...One is my husband who is a super fat rat, one is my little boy who is a rug rat... :mrgreen:
My tummy tuck still sticks on me ..Now I go for a walk everyday, but it doesn't help..Maybe I have to do " sit up " la... :cry:

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Shiba-Inu,

Happy Birthday!!! Your next birthday will include your little bundle of joy...try to enjoy as much "two-people" time this year :lol: :lol: :lol:

Muimui313,

Happy Birthday!!! This is your first b-day with your little guy...must be very different. I know it's hard to keep up cosmetically with a little baby. When your little one has a better schedule, you will pick up on your beauty routines. For your eyebags, try using the Shiseido eye mask before you fall asleep. It only takes 15 mins. and no need to rinse off

Little Fat Man,

Oh....tell big-matt to be more patient with mini-matt these few days, he will get better really soon. Don't yell at him :cry: :cry: :cry: he is already in pain :cry: :cry: :cry: Is it possible for you to stay in his room for a few nights?! have a bottle of warm water ready, it will help him if he gets fussy. I noticed Natalie's lips were chapped when she was teething because of all the drooling

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

多謝nillie_mami, amanda, meeemeee, 小肥佬同shiba-inu. 今日老公會帶我去todai食buffet. 因為生日既人免費. hehe. 老公送左一套餐具 (佢話因為我鍾意飲茶, 而套餐具入面有茶杯, 不過, 點解佢唔淨係買隻茶杯呢?), 一個大hershey kiss, 兩罐cocobutter (佢話係俾我開刀傷口用既, 因為買兩罐有discount, 但係我條傷口得5-6吋), 一張咭, 同一件t-shirt. 佢興奮到半夜要我拆, 卒之嘈聲亞仔. 等我揍餐死, 亞歷仔先至訓返. 佢聖誕又係咁, 一早七點叫人起身, 就同我講,"你係咪興奮到訓唔著呢, 等住拆禮物, 所以咁早起身", 但係其實係佢叫醒我.

shiba-inu, 你都生日快樂, 大家努力做個靚靚媽咪!

小肥佬, 食齋時, 個人病少左, 雖然磅數一樣, 但係個人感覺輕盈左好多, 唔累贅.係香港食齋好易, 又多選舉, 齋舖又多,係美國就難
