Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Chingbj,

Please let me know how it goes with the baby bassinet on the airplane, if it's not necessary, then I rather save her ticket money to shop baby stuff in HK. We are going for our 2nd class today, let you know how it goes. The fees are $30 lifetime membership and $142 for 9 classes.

Little Fat Man,

Yes, the class is only 45 mins, one day/week. Other then for Natalie, I'm hoping to meet some new moms there myself. Don't worry if Mini-Matt can catch up, the instructor emphasized that every baby is different even if they're the same age so there is no set pace.

I'm very dumb when it's comes to sewing. My husband is the one who sews my lose buttons

When Natalie was newborn, her mittens were too big and it's her daddy who helped her sew them tighter...hehehe....

Shiba-Inu,

We won't go to HK until November so it's still too soon to be excited. I just want to check out the new Disneyland in HK when I go and eat shop eat shop eat shop....

Zic,

For hiring someone to clean your new house, you can try looking into MollyMaid. They are international housekeeping company and does a very very great/detailed job. They are a little costly but if it's a one time deal, it's quite worth it. If you are looking for a long-term housekeeper, it's better to get referrals from people in your area. The privately owned ones are usually more personally and cheaper.

The baby is almost here....I'm getting excited for you.

Whalebb,

Thanks for sharing Verniece's new photos. She has grown a lot since the last time we met up. Let's plan our trip to visit Little Fat Man. I really want to meet Mini-Matt and his lovely mommy

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

chingbj, and natmama,

although we've bought a child-fare ticket for our boy, the flight attendant also offered a bassinet for him (i think for those < 2-yr-old). we tried to let him sleep in it, but he woke up in abt an hour. i think it might be too small for him (he's kinda light-weight for his age - less than 25 lbs only but relatively tall - maybe around 3 feet). defintely the bassinet is not long enough for him, but i was told that it can hold up to 15 kg (i doubted ... maybe up to 25 lbs ... i guess).

we also let him sleep in his own seat (without bringing our own carseat). however, he slept for abt couple hours only. then, he slept in daddy's arms for another couple hours (on and off). for the rest of the time, he just wanted to run around; otherwise, he kept crying. it's not a very long experience for us!

i'm not sure if i should recommend u to buy a ticket for yr babies, but it's almost like adult's fare (75%). i'll let u decide yrself. if the baby is < 1 yr old, it should be ok. u might wanna make yr trip before yr baby can walk. it would be much easier.

btw, i heard that only Singapore airlines and Cathay Pacific offer the infant bassinets. not sure abt UA and the others.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

NATMAMA,
我老爺都係好似你奶奶噤鐘意貴野﹐不過一年2-3次﹐唔係話好過份0個D。奶奶要老公$黎貼三十幾歲既叔仔我先看唔過眼。噤大個人個仔都十二歲﹐都唔理個仔﹐生日/聖誕唔理﹐講衰D連條底褲都無買過。

NILLIE﹐
我奶奶都話畏人奶唔好架﹐我兩個姑仔係她同她們坐月﹐所以BB一餓就同BB畏奶粉﹐唔比她們畏人奶。
不過我無理她的﹐好彩她沒來幫我坐月咋。

CHINGBJ﹐
我唔係返HK玩呀﹐只係去LA。
你同埋仔仔返去咪要帶好多BB野囉?
好彩你老公同你地一齊返﹐唔係一個人點顧噤多野。
我仲未收到你仔仔D相啊﹐可否再SEND BABYGIGI1218@AOL。COM
我未返工住﹐稔著湊到呀仔返學先。

WHALEBB﹐
奶奶唔係潮州人。
難以想像如果她是潮州人會點。

小肥佬﹐
係呀﹐衰仔要抱著訓。不過我等他10分鐘*乙米*下他﹐同他HUNG下歌仔﹐如果仲扭計先抱﹐一抱他就好快訓得著。我都好怕噤樣唔好﹐但唔知有乜辦法啊。
我屋企都係噤架﹐D HOUSEOWRK唔使女人做﹐係我老豆&姐夫做架。不過自己搬左出黎住噤多年﹐唔識煮飯食會餓鬼死﹐所以都慣左。返而結左婚搬左黎NY就老公搞掂晒。

ZIC﹐
你開始緊張未呀嘻嘻~
修鬼修馬﹐我現在身體好差﹐都唔知點解﹐生完有保架喇﹐都係噤。唔知係咪一路都唔夠訓。生完到現在已病左3次﹐今次好勁﹐頭痛鼻水黑痴咳等一齊黎。
生完記住真係要好好坐月休息呀﹐唔係好像我成日腰骨痛。

SHIBA_INU﹐
我都未受收到相呀~

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Ooo...小咗時間online, 因為工人走後, 肥bearbear老公同我一齊大執屋... 將冇用嘅嘢掉晒佢, cut晒啲箱去recycle..
以前屋企冇窗廉布, 而家都裝埋lu.

唉... 99貪$$, 真係施空見慣, 佢又係鐘意lancome 個枝$80幾90蚊枝cream... 我冇買呀! 我話呢啲嘢係囡做架嘛, 佢咪叫大姑奶買咯.... not my business.. 我又係憎99以前成日要我個個星期俾$$買餸, 之後攞嚟'貼'啲姑仔,伯爺咁, 我做乜一家3口要幫佢其餘8頭家買餸????
從來只會'圓'耀大姑奶買cream, 二伯日日買一包方飽, 姑仔會送花(叫99照顧) etc...

我只知道, 佢唔錫你就實揾到原因(such as你克住佢), 如果佢鐘意你, 就算你日日鬧佢, 嫌棄佢, 佢都會話你係'顧家'嘅好仔女.
chingbj,
我同肥bearbear老公睇咗相喇!!!

冇牙vincent仔笑容100分...老公話佢肥得好可愛好'實淨'呢...今曰Amanda玩得太顛, 一早瞓咗, 我廳日至show vincent啲相佢睇.

Natmama,
返HK真係宜揀BB7-12個月大, 因為正如SYmom講,未識行, 而且BB細, 易control. Amanda７個月大同13個月大返過HK, 真係天壤之別. 我吔2次郁買child fare...因為用自已car seat... 費事抱... East coast 返HK遠好多...
醫生都話BB7-12個月去long distant, 都算係honeymoon, 因為BB1識行, 你兩公婆就會好辛苦!佢會要你同佢由機頭行到機尾.... 喺飛機度真係冇覺好瞓

Clarab,
你又冇仲morning sickness呀?
muimui,
你講得啱, 律師都話幫唔到我呢...at least要等1-2年先有得做green card interview.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Dear all moms,

I'm still alive!!! My past 3 weeks were crazy so I didn't have time or energy to come to bk.
First, bb Marcus had high fever for almost a week. Doctor couldn't check his ears well because of his ear wax. So, the nurse had to run lots of water into his ears and tried to soften the wax. Poor Marcus was tight up by me and he was crying like hell. The nurse did 4 times on each ear but no luck. Then the doctor told us that she had to treat Marcus like he has ear infection. Marcus was on antibiotic for 10 days.
By the time Marcus was done with the antibiotic, then it was Candace's turn (my older daughter). She told me that she had sore throat on this past Wed. morning, I didn't think it was a big deal so I still gave her milk and sandwich before we left for school. She vomited the min. she finished her milk, I didn't think it was serious because I thought she might be drinking too fast. So I still sent her to school. But at night when I bath her, I found some little red dots on her body and she told me that her body was so itchy. I found a lot more red dots on Thursday morning so I took her to see doctor. Her temp. was 102 when we got to the doctor office. What Candace has is called "Scarlet Fever" and she has to be on antibiotic for 10 days. Symptoms are: fever, sore throat, itchy red dots on body. She got it all! Scarlet fever is highly contagious and it's from person to person. I think she got it from Chucke cheese. We went there on Sunday for a birthday party and the place was packed with people. Doctor said she couldn't go to school until Monday. We had to seperate her from Marcus for the past several days. Poor me, I have to sleep with her to apply lotion for her and lightly patch her itchy parts. Her skin got very itchy in the middle of night. Candace is feeling better now.
Then I got fever last night and felt dizzy all night. It's hard to take care of 2 kids alone anyway but it was so much harder for me last night. My husband had a business dinner. We run out of tylenol at home so I could only take Children's tylenol for my fever and headache. Hey, it still worked!
Please wish us luck! Our live-in nanny will start working for us this coming Sunday.

Chingbj,

收到你個仔仔D相啦, 佢好得意好大隻呀, 仲有2 個小梨窩, 更加靚仔, Vincent 似你老公定似你 ?

Meeemeee,

Marcus 同埋Candace 而家冇事就好, 一個人湊 2 個小孩真係唔容易,尤其係晚上簡直人都顛,前 2晚個大仔半夜哭,哭哭下嘔,因為我成家都咳, 一個傳一個,到而家仲未好。而家D好容易病, 你要小心保重, 你一病就會冇人幫係湊, 我都飲左小童咳水, 幾有效架 , heheh...希望你新黎既 nanny 幫到你,祝你好運。

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Sy_Mom, Nillie, Chingbj,

I think we will most likely pay a little more on the child airfare so Natalie can have her own seat. Like Nillie said, the flight is quite long (14 hours) so it will be too difficult for my husband or I to hold her. By the time we go to HK in November, Natalie will be 1.5 year old, I think the bassinet provided by the airline will be too uncomfortable for her. I believe if the cost will be around 75% of ticket price, let me check with the airline

Meeemeee,

Hope you and your family will get better soon. The weather is so bad this year and many people got hit hard with severe allergy. Take care, drink lots of water

Whalebb,

Did you get my email regarding the Moms Club in Diamond Bar? Are you interested

Nillie, Babygigi,

I guess every in-law has their "specialty"....hehehe...

We just need to work on our EQ in order to conquer them...hahaha...

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

My m-in-law is super "ma fan" too. I had been spending super long period of time to look for a nanny, most part of the problem is from her. She doesn't want to put the babies in any type of home daycare, center daycare, nor the nanny. She doesn't want me to leave the babies at our neighbour who is a Chinese stay at home mom because she was saying that the Chinese family from mainland usually have a smoker at home, even I have told her that there is no smoke smell in their house, and the ppl there seems to be nice, but she still insisit not to bring the babies there

She was also saying that leaving the babies at someone's house out of sight, ppl there might harm the babies. OK, so we look for the in home nanny, then she was saying so and so on the candidates. NOone seems can be passed by her. OK, we have finally hired a nanny 3 weeks ago, and she suppose to start with us today. My MIL call us all in the sudden on Saturday and insist not to hire the nanny because all the reason she can think of. OMG, if she doesn't want to hire that person, she should say so 3 weeks ago, not at the last min !!! We finally have to let the nanny go on her first day. I feel so sorry for the nanny, so I have give her 1 week of salary. I am so frustrated, looks like she would like me to WORK and taking care of the babies at the same time. I am so worn out, I am not the superwoman, I feel very frustrated.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Natmama,
you are right, and that is what my fat bearbear hubby always says, I must use all my best EQ to deal with his family ( as 99 gave birth to 9 children, the other 8 of them, are trouble makers.. as they all jealous and fight with each other..)
Somehow, I do thank god.. as if I did not work in the night mare public hospitals in hong kong, I will never able to deal with his family at all.. or may be even before Amanda born, I might ran away already. Now, it is time for the SUN to come out!!!
Junw..
your 99 did the same thing as my 99 did, she did band us to have a live-in nanny. Because 'she doesn't want us to pay someone else, our money should only give her'. And also, because she afraid of that other chinese may know what she did to me in the pass, as we only interview the nannies whom live in Staten Island as well, so we don't need to pick them up at sunday night and send them back home on Friday night..
Now, as we fired our nanny, 99 said again, pay her USD1000 to take care of Amanda... No way, as a boxer (big fight dog) in their house, I won't let Amanda stay there out of my sight at all.
I would rather send Amanda to Day Care center instead of letting Amanda to spend a day with her, I can't imagine if fat bearbear hubby's sister to feed Amanda with cat sand or anything else again.. my heart has broken once, and I can't afford the second time, no matter any kind of physical abuse, psychological abuse, or anything..
We planned to hire another nanny once we set all the nanny camera again.
Thanks Natmama, your suggestion is prefect.. we will only set up the camera at 2nd floor, and not allow nanny to bring Amanda downstair to living and dinning room.. so, everything is easier to be under controlled.
Meeemeee,
you need more time to take a good rest, try to drink more water, warm honey+lemon water may help too.. also, if you catch a flu (touch wood), when we were nurses in hk, we used to drink hot cola + ginger +lemon, it's help!!!
Hey.. I got the maid rule from another BK daddy from hk.. that one is very strict one.. but I believe that we can just make some change.. (after motify it .. it will fit the standard in US)
Does any of you want it.. ? Should I just post it in a new forum or send it to you (if you want) via email?
zic,
ring me please!!! 當你有時間... ok?

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Whalebb,

I just wanted to check the airfare if I want to purchase a seat for Natalie. I found it on Cathay Pacific's website....it's about 75% of adult airfare. The lady from the Moms Club was supposed to call me, I'll let you know the details once I hear from her.

Junw,

I think your 99 probably wants to take care of the twins herself, did she hint anything to you? I think if you plan on working from home, you will definitely need the nanny's assistance. It's hard enough to take care of 1 baby and you have 2 babies plus work...that's too much to do alone. You will lose the quality time with the twins.

Nillie,

It's good you have experienced in the HK Hospital, therefore you know how to deal with different personalities. I'm always thankful that my husband's family are in HK, I only have to deal with one 2 weeks each year when we visit each other. I'm glad you decided to install the webcam just upstairs, at least you won't feel like a prisoner at your own house and also know Amanda is save. Does you 99 watch any other grandchildren at her house? Do you let your 99 watch Amanda at all?

Little Fat Man,

Where have you been? How is Mini-Matt doing these few days?

Clarab,

How are you doing? Any morning sickness or discomfort yet? Send us some new pictures of Evie!

whalebb,
細B好"Q", 大B好"sweet"呢...
呢幾日,我同肥bearbear老公都討論緊做唔做多個Amanda二世..... 見你2個B都咁鬼Q...我真係心郁郁...

Natmama,
我99以前幫其中一個姑仔湊過小朋友, 至'bite'係開天殺價呢....
湊一個時收1000, 二個時收1300, 到Amanda表弟出世時, 叫價1,800... 佢(99)都'神神哋'.... 一星期只睇3曰, 仲係只接放學(4分鐘路程), 只陪瞓晏覺, 唔做功課同唔包食... 日日下晝6時便踢小朋友返過隔籬屋(佢哋係'連屋')... 你話值唔值咁貴先?
個姑仔如果唔係愚孝同以為咁樣會令99對越南姑丈好啲, 點會俾99屈咗9年錢? 上年,姑仔忍冇可忍..寧願留大嗰2個仔女(10歲,6歲)喺學校嘅after school到夜晚7點, 有老師教做功課, 温書同補習.... 又有奶同cereal食... BB cousin就返育嬰園.... 2公婆, 邊個放早就負責接小朋友返屋企, 另一半就返屋企煮飯... 99住正隔籬屋, 因為冇錢收, 真係話唔理就唔埋... [絕]....
真唔明?? 唔識教同湊自己啲細路,學乜嘢人生9個...呢啲99-->終有一日現眼報!

Chingbj,
我收到VINCENT D相啦。你仔仔好MAN窩﹐好精靈﹐婆婆公公見到一定好開心。
我7月先會去LA﹐會去兩個月﹐有半年無見屋企人了﹐住返耐D先返來。
之前我在BK看到有媽咪話HK D尿片貴過US的好多﹐你有無稔著帶D返去?
我上次返HK帶花旗參&開心果﹐無乜話特別買咩手信。

MEEEMEEE﹐
你講開EAR WAX問題﹐我都想知BB有EAR WAX﹐我用Q-TIP清潔他外面﹐但裡面仲有﹐噤點清架﹐有無媽咪有TIPS?
我見到你形容呀仔比NURSE用水CLEAN都心痛﹐MARCUS仔一定好辛苦。
下次食細路仔藥食DOUBLE DOSE﹐大人都WORK。
希望你新NANNY幫輕你好多。

JUNW﹐
係咪你奶信唔過人﹐想剩係自己幫你湊呀。
或許她想你STAY-AT-HOME湊?

NILLIE,
可能老一輩的人本著天生天養心態。你奶奶幾大?我奶奶都生4個﹐又係個個都無點教﹐(COMPARE W 我DAD&MOM﹐我FAMILY嚴好多好多﹐唔知係我FMAILY太嚴定點)有時D細路大左就真係要看他們自己既造化。不過生得多﹐D小朋友由細爭寵爭到大﹐大左都好少話個個都好好感情。
你姑仔可能稔著0個個係自己個呀媽﹐所以$$無乜所謂囉。
我尋日去了TANGER OUTLET﹐CARTER D BB仔野好平好平﹐$2﹐$3件BB衫﹐被我&老公掃得7788。
K-MART D HUGGIES ON SALE﹐JUMBO SIZE賣8.99
WALGREEN JUMBO SIZE PAMPERS 賣8蚊包。
BJ剩係得REGULAR片賣﹐好鬼衰。

CLARAB﹐
