Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Shiba_Inu,
我美國本RN diagnosis test and anaylsis 入面state住有紅or腫with 10mm 都已叫+ve... 只係依書直說..
有担心係因為未見過, 因為我03年移民時已大肚, 醫生做body check都詰唔可以幫我test TB..
Anyway, 佢話-ve,咁咪好咯!
research ...
Mantoux = PPD... (usa name)
click below
who should not have PPD test
or
Who Should Not Get the Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Test (PPD, Mantoux)?
The only people who should not have the skin test for TB done are those who have had positive results in the past. Once a skin test is positive, it usually remains so for life (despite treatment), and should not be repeated.

While there is no reason to believe that this would harm a fetus, it is still prudent for pregnant women not to have this test done routinely.

--- 點解佢哋要同你test 嘅? ?-(

muimui313,
我呀媽話叫我睇實個女,咪佢17-8-9歲就會嫁咗去...
唉! 我都冇計!! 佢返gymboree 成日強吻啲鬼仔, 又攬又錫, 有一次我哋圍圈坐同唱歌, 佢走去拉住個鬼仔, 拖佢落地, 仲瞓上人哋個身上面, 欖住人嚟咀..... 嚇C晒我哋20幾pairs 家長,修尾係佢導師抱起Amanda呢... 因為我俾個衰女o的 "強姦犯"行為嚇到目定口呆呢! 真羞家... 慘慘, 佢未2歲已經咁豪放, 唉!大啲唔知點算.....
yeah! 試吓 imagestation.com (係sony...)

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

各位,

我打勝仗啦...

今日佢send 番個e-mail 比我...佢話因為張我個case 去咗去個manager 度,所以先無覆我...我accept 佢個apology..佢可能費時我真係send 個case 去CPSC 或我煩住佢哋,所以佢個結論係:" 我send 番個swing 比佢哋,就會give me back $60... 雖然我真係好想send 去CPSC, 但係佢都話會張成個swing 做examination,所以我都費時玩到咁過份... :mrgreen:

Nillie_Mami

嘩,你個女都得喎...咁勁既? 會唔會你哋平時同佢話瞓身遊戲呀? 因為我唔知睇書定電視,佢哋話, 會learned-at-home, 所以不知不覺,佢都會覺得以為用這種方法係一種和人友好的行為..不過,可能佢大d,就唔架啦..話晒佢到時識得自我控制呀嘛, 可能到時, 佢話"男人? 唔正既唔好行過嚟."

muimui313

咁比起你個朋友,我個case 真係唔算過份,仲係好斯文tim...我個時咁嬲係因為條氣唔順,但係都唔會咁得閒,成日打電話去煩人啦..咁你個同事,真係好慘呀..

亞歷仔唔係好中國樣姐,我mini-matt 咪仲似chinese..佢對眼好大, 比起mini-matt 真係大好好多, 佢一喊,或者杻計,隻眼就得番一條線咋..但係點睇,佢係我個仔,都覺得佢係世上獨一無二...

whalebb

我有睇呀...長今好慘,但係我真係估唔到韓尚宮,咁樣死呀..好唔拾得佢...我仲成日諗...亞長今第時點樣揾番韓尚宮條屍呀. ?-( ..因為要睇"大長今",我老公救我早d楂車去San Diego..我都唔肯,錄都唔得,寧願唔去.. :evil: ..咁佢真係好想我去,所以唯有等埋我睇完,先去囉..

我無睇過"愛上女主播" 呀...真失禮囉..

Shiba-Inu

話咁快就兩次啦...其實個時,我真係好想次次照架..但係一嚟好貴(每次成 $250,但係就有保險比 $100.但係我哋都要比 $150), 加上個OB 唔鼓勵也唔肯,所以想照多d都無呀..但係聽我個fd講,佢每次照,都有tape起佢,就好似睇住佢係個肚入面成長咁....好開心咁話....我就得個"恨"字囉..

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Little Fat Man,

Natalie is okay, she cried for less than a minute. I checked her arms/legs and she was responsive. I wonder what is causing Mini-Matt from waking up at night, you can ask for advice from his ped. My ped. told me by 6 months, the baby should sleep thru the night most of the time (unless sick) ?-( ?-( ?-( When I was pregnant w/ Natalie, I got an ultrasound on every visit. I think it depends on your insurance. My friend also only had 2 ultrasounds for the entire pregnancy :exclaim: :exclaim: :exclaim:

Nillie,

Some companies/hospitals will pay for your continued education. That's why I went for my masters becuz my company took care of the cost. You should ask your new employer before you sign the contract

When do you plan to start your job-hunting? It'll be good if you can do night shift so you can spend time with Amanda during the day....but tiring for you.

Shiba-Inu,

Since you're having some back pain, then the special pillow might help you. Can you buy it and give it try, if it doesn't work out, then return it :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

小肥佬,
恭喜晒! 好在企硬姐!!!!
係佢哋錯, 就應該鬧佢要認, 打就要企定呢....

大家....
你哋信唔信月圓(full moon)同情緒有關係呢?
唉!真大件事...今日Amanda返gymboree...所有小朋友今日都有D aggressive.. 好'炆熷'.... 佢哋一行理就打交... 平時唔係咁桇, 導師話之前一班gym-walker, 有BB打交打到脫皮啊! Amanda都好cranky... 佢今日成日"no"人哋... 都唔知做乜鬼... 佢平時最多咀吓鬼仔, 但今日... 佢唔想同人玩, 一見人行近就no... 係咁揾爸爸, 又話要開門走...唉.. 我有啲唔開心呢... 因為我哋係唯一嘅chinese, 好突出, Amanda一有小動作, 人人都會望住呢... 好在導師好關顧佢呢....

小肥佬,
係呀, 佢好鐘意坐爸爸肚腩同攬住爸爸, 佢朝朝瞓醒, 喺BB房奶奶和換片後, 我慣性帶佢入大人房叫爸爸起身返工囉....可能真係 learned at home..
希望如你所講...但至怕Amanda三歲定八十, 唔理好醜,但求就手....咁就"敝家伙"......

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

whalebb, 小肥佬,
Don' tell me anything about 大長今 for these 2 days!!! I don't have time to watch the tapes yet --- yesterday night I had a severe abdominal pain :cry:

. I suspected that's stomachache and luckily it subsided this morning. Then tonight we have friends coming for dinner. So no time watching ah... :-|

小肥佬,
So good that the company views the problem seriously. In HK, I don't think people will do that.

Nillie-mami,
Thank you very much for the information. I have emailed my OB this morning asking her about the skin test and also my abdominal pain last night, but she has not replied yet.

Natmama,
I have not thought of it! Thanks! I hestiate become the "maternity pillow" is really big and our bed is only a queen size one. I am afraid that if I sleep with that pillow, my hubby has to sleep on the floor la! :lol:

muimui,
With big eyes and dark skin, Alex really looks very "Aloha" ah!!!

I don't know the sex of my bb yet, if she is a girl, I don't want her to have dark skin like me...

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

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

mui mui,

唔該晒, 今晚我會試下!

Natmama,

我成日都上網, 不過都係B女訓既時間, 通上係你個邊8AM-10AM, 跟住下午1PM-3PM, 呢D時間我會開著MSN同ICQ. 你慣唔慣早起?

Nillie,

小朋友見到鐘意就咀, 好似B女咁, 佢鐘意同你玩又咀你, 你俾COOKIES佢食, 即刻獻吻! 佢上次想咀個10歲既表哥, 被拒絶咗, 都唔覺得差, 仲要継續鍚! 好搞笑! 而家佢地咁細個好難correct佢, 但係我地又覺得佢好sweet...都唔知點算!

Ida,

咁就好啦, 佢俾返60蚊你你都無咁扯火!!! 算佢啦, 咁你後尾買咗邊隻HIGHCHAIR?

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,

You can try www.monster.com, try going to the category under healthcare and then select your location and title. Since your industry has a high demand, maybe don't need to go to the agency right away. The agencies take a cut from the hospital and they might not get you the best offer. I think most companies will not post the salary until you go for the first interview. lGood luck. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Clara,

Let me try to look for you in the afternoon. I'm usually not ready yet by 10am...many things to do in the morning with Natalie

So have you decided when to bring Evie for her pictures?

Little Fat Man,

Just see what the ped. has to say. Maybe it's a phase and Mini-Matt will sleep better soon. If you sleep with him at night, does he sleep longer

Natalie is so used to sleeping by herself, if she sleeps next to me, it's harder for her to sleep deep and she always bumps her head with mine

Whalebb,

Forgot to congratulate you on your successful diet....115....I'm so jealous. I started to do some exercise when Natalie takes her afternoon nap...but it makes me very tired and hungry

Shiba-Inu,

I love the return policy in america. I was able to return so many items from Natalie's baby shower and get something more useful. Take advantage of it becuz we don't have this luxury in HK

Shiba_inu,
肥bearbear老公話我移民咁大件事, 醫生都唔驗得TB, 你個OB 唔係好妥, 你有冇打算 seek for second opinion? 咁會安全啲.... 因為唔知有冇malpractice...

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Hi All Mommies,

Sorry that i haven't got a chance to chat w/ u this week. there's a little accident w/ bb early this week. he fell from the high chair when he tried to climb down and escape. luckily his head didn't fall on the ground (tiles in dining area). however, his head got hit towards the sharp edge of the wooden cabinet, so he got a scratch and a bump on his head. thanks God that it goes away the next day after i put the ice on it.
i felt so stupid to listen to 99 not buckling the seatbelt for him since he's very little. she always said that it's uncomfortable for him and we must keep an eye on him anyway.

Finally we've decided to go to HK next Monday (not coming Mon.) and stay until early May. So I've been busy preparing the trip and started to do packing. i'm a little nervous cos this is the first time bb's going out for long trip.

Also, i'm so unhappy to find out that my hubby will be on business trips for 3 weeks (going from HK to 3 Asian countries). initially he told me he might need to go to Taiwan for abt a week only.
he emailed his business trip schedule to his mom and cc it to me! this is how he communicates w/ me!

So it's gonna be a tough trip for me! staying in HK w/ my bossy 99 and bb in a new place.

i already feel the pressure from 99 when i told her what to buy for bb in HK over the phone. she always said that she knows what to do without me telling her what to do, cos she was a nurse. she said no need to buy/bring this or that, no need to buy bb bath tub cos he can take bath in the regular tub. she always said "i'm not like u. hv u even seen accidents happen w/ bb when i'm watching him?" when i tried to explain to her that the diapers in HK are in different sizing (S, M, L, XL instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), she's really mad and said "i'm medical professional and know how to call up the diaper company to ask for the equivalent models/sizes in HK". i'm very anxious abt our trip without my hubby around, cos 99 is always over-confident in doing things and always likes to in charge. sigh ...

Nillie,

Congratulations! Good luck on yr job search! i'm sure u can find a job soon.

Shibu-inu,

it should be fine for u to do the TB skin test. i also had it done during my first trimester of pregnancy for the greencard interview. however, i was excused to take all the shots. i'm a very cautious person and asked so many doctors, including ob doc. the reaction of TB skin test is mainly involved the skin part. however, u might be concerned if yr TB skin test result is no good and need to take chest x-ray. (my TB skin test result was ok, so i didn't need to take the x-ray. )

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

SY_mom,
你可以返香港咁耐, 會去Macau住幾耐.架..? 住耐啲得唔得呢? 咁你會可能舒服啲呢.... 返正BB爸爸business trip 成3個weeks (唓...) 不如同自已阿爸阿媽住好啲....
你同仔仔沖涼時一定要望得好實啊...我喺香港都冇用BBtub.
你冇話仔仔撞到頭件事俾99知啩...我有啲怕佢呢....你會唔會好忙? 肥bear有嘢要我同你講, 我打電話俾你, ok?

OIC.... 原來真係美國law.... 但咁樣(孕婦做生疫苗測試)係有歧視之嫌呢....

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,

It will be nice if you can apply for the university job close to home becuz they will definitely pay for some of your tuition for masters. Remember I told you my aunt works at UCLA, if she goes to school there, she gets a discount...but she is going to a different school

Are you putting Amanda in nursery part time or full time

Is Amanda almost 2 years old...sorry I forgot ?-( ?-( ?-(

SY_Mom,

Sorry to hear about your baby's accident, I'm surprised your professional 99 told you not to put on the seatbelt ?-( ?-( ?-( Sounds like your trip will be quite tough, I agree with Nillie, you should go to Macau and stay with your family while your husband is on business trip. It will make your trip so much more enjoyable.

Make sure you bring some bottled water with you for your baby. The water over there is not very clean...even the bottled ones are not as good as US
