Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,
我對燕窩的認識並不多，就我所識,與你分享一下。金絲燕和血燕之所以變色, 是因為吸收了洞內的minerals。金絲燕較淺色是因為所吸收的沒有血燕那麼多。由於有minerals, 所以這兩種多較白色的燕窩補。一般來說, 應該是血燕較貴。但亦不一定，因為也要顧及原產地, 以及多不多雜毛等等。
我在來美國以前買了16兩, 萬多塊港幣, 是金絲燕, 產自印尼, 是燕炳, 不需要點揀毛。
natmama, 你現在已給natalie食燕窩嗎？

nillie,
我也喜歡食荔枝, 可是我不可以食太多, 因為我很容易熱氣, 我試過因食荔枝而發燒。
我的仔剛看完眼科, 證實有先天性的遺傳引致他右眼有"鬥雞", 現在醫生要求我們每天幫他貼眼布四小時, 然後會在一歲左右幫他做手術。你知不知有關的資料？我想了解多一些啊。現在仔仔很易忟憎, 成天要陪他玩。
Natmama,
我的仔現在十個月, 大約20lbs, 29 1/2inches。
他也是食三餐奶, 每餐七安(但最近很憎飲奶, 飲得較少), 兩餐粥(有魚.肉和菜)。我相信這樣已足夠, 他不食夜奶。

Zic,
Welcome to move to Brooklyn. It is convenience.
對於你近期發生的不順心事, 希望你可以盡快順利解決, 千萬不要太操心, bb最重要.

chingbj,
如果你不介意, 你可以在離美前將聯絡方法send to my e-mail: [email protected], 因為我怕在香港在網不方便，我在香港的家中已沒有上網服務。

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,

You are asking the wrong person about "birdnest". My daddy or grandma are the ones who buy it. My dad usually buys it from hong kong "Yu Yun Tong", maybe you can ask your sister to bring some but need to hide it from US custom. Because Natalie's skin is sensitive, I have to wait for her to turn 1 before feeding her the birdnest...so I'm the one eating it now. From my understanding, you can feed 1 tablespoon of birdnest each day to Amanda or yourself. This is all that's necessary per day...any excess will be wasted becuz your body cannot absorb that much. I jusk soak it in water overnight in the refrigerator and then "done" for an hour with red dates...and add a little bit of "ice sugar" for taste. If you plan on mixing it into Amanda's congee, then no need to add red dates or sugar when "done".

Greentree,

Long time no see la. Good to know that your baby is eating about the same as Natalie. She's almost 9 months now and 20lbs and 28 inches long. I'm taking her for a checkup next week, I'll check with the ped. to see if her weigh/length is okay. Is your baby crawling yet, Natalie is barely crawling a little

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

natmama, greentree...
我明白喇, 噚日買咗一斤, 大約$2000... 價錢o唔ok? ?-( ?-( ?-(
下次都係買返血燕喇, 我浸同'done'咗一隻金絲燕窩, 好似普通燕窩咁...軟軟哋.. 都係以前姑姐整嘅血燕好食啲, 爽口啲!
本來打算叫亞妹買過嚟, 但家人話怕custom守到就血本無歸呢! :-( :-( :-(
greentree,
咁你幫我食埋我冇得食嗰2粒荔枝喇, 1粒荔枝3把火...但我真係好鐘意食荔枝呀! 仲有芒果同山竹.... :-( :-( :-(

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

green tree,
Amanda都有"鬥雞"嘅問題, 但佢pedi話唔駛手術, 待Amanda2歲至决定, 因為佢出世時有心漏, pedi有啲避忌呢..
如果帶眼罩唔能夠令懶眼好啲... 手術係一個解決方法, 但我會問醫生, 可以有其他選擇先嗎?如帶medicial 嘅眼鏡..
資-料->我會去揾揾!

greentree,

My younger son also has the 鬥雞 problem. He is wearing glasses since he was 6 months old. Lucky that the surgury can be avoided as the glasses helped correct his problem. You might want to check with your son's eye doctor to see if he need to wear glasses in order to avoid the surgery.

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Natmama,
我的仔都是九個月才識爬。最初, 他只懂只後退, 後來懂得360度轉圈，跟著見到心愛的玩具, 就像士兵爬戰壕般匍匐向前, 動作都几快速, 不過, 他還不懂身體離地向前爬。現在, 他喜歡坐chair(without arm), 然後扶住我的雙手站起來，奶奶說這樣有助他行路。今天, 我扶住他的腋下, 他向前跨步, 行得比前几天好。

nillie,
你有沒有帶amanda去看眼專科, 唐人街的Dr. Shen很出名啊, 你有沒有听說過啊？

junw,
真係好了, 你的仔可以用帶眼鏡的方法糾正。醫生說我的仔不能夠, 一定要做手術，因為與遺傳有關, 可能我與我的先生都帶有隱性的遺傳因子吧。不知是否有些孩子有一隻眼遠視或近視的問題而引致"鬥雞", 便可以用帶眼鏡糾正呢？

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

All,

Let me tell you guys something..Last Saturday, I made dinner for my husband's friends, totally 6 people including us.. I made Kung Pao Chicken, Curry Beef, Choy Suey beef, Hot and Spicy Szechuen chicken and Rosted chicken with honey and garlic. The dessert was Green Bean Cake.. Everyone loved it, they just said " Excellent"... The dinner took me 1.5 hour to remove the chicken and beef fat and chop the vegetables, and another 1 hour to cook 5 dishes.. I couldn't believe I really did it..

. To me, it was a big challenge in my life because I never cooked in HK.. After dinner, I did the dishes, gave mini-matt bath, and fed him.. At the time, I was so tired, I went back to sleep right away, not even I said goodbye to his friends..

..My husband said " poor Ida." I replied " it doesn't matter, just one time a life."

Natmama,

I guess mini-matt's got his dad's personality.. He won't be crazy if the people are around him... Sometimes he's being good during the day. Like last Saturday, he enjoyed playing with my husband's friends and spoke back with bb talk..Everyone said he's a good baby..

..My husband talked to them " he's evil during the night." To be honest with you , I never think about the discipline to mini-matt...

....Did you watch " nanny 911" on tv ? maybe you should give Natalie a timer if she does somthing wrong.

At 5 in this morning, mini-matt didn't go back to sleep in his crib after breastfeeding..At the beginning, I just let him cry in the crib , I knew he just wanted to sleep with us..Unfortunately, he didn't stop ..After 10 mins, he sat up by himself , faced to the wall and screamed...Eventually, I gave up , picked him up, and waited until he went back to sleep in my bed..

.. After that, I removed him back to the crib...Thank God, he slept pretty good until 8 in the morning..

Zic

我個時,我亞媽話嚟,到最後,都無嚟,個時,真係有D失望,但係無計啦,唯有等我二佬放工返嚟,幫我煮吓飯, 洗吓衫啦..其實唔駛咁担心, 時間會好快過, 可能會辛苦D,但係最緊要放開心情, 我相信你到時一定乜嘢都會順順利利既..

whalebb

努力呀, 你要減肥成功...我隻佬如果好似你咁,咁自動自覺,我就開心屎..最衰我又受到佢感染, 所以無乜減肥浴望tim..

星期六,我一條友煮六個人dinner, 個一刻我諗起你,你真係好勁呀...真係要為你

babygigi

我個次買咗件連腳套既pajama 比亞仔,返到屋企,比佢著,先發現買錯 size (9-months), 對佢嚟講,巳經到頂個隻, 今曰同佢著,仲巳經窄tim到連對腳都頂住頂呀..真係浪費金錢tim,,激屎...
我初初都怕係車入面餵人奶架,但係個時餵得多,都無有怕lu..不過,依家想佢都唔得,因為佢大個咗,唔鍾意係車入面餵,可能佢覺得唔comfortable怪..
你話緊個隻 ready-to-feed formula ,係唔係similac 個隻呀? 我個時未出醫時,都係比亞仔食個隻,個bottle,我仲留番起佢,當係亞仔飲水時用囉..不過,你都勁喎,可以忍到谷奶個種痛苦..

Nillie_Mami

我個得你個價錢,都算ok,如果係最靚個隻..因為個時有咗,買比自己食,無咁靚,個價錢,雖然無咁貴,但係靚d個d, 個價錢,都係咁上下..不過,我都有d 朋友,返香港時,都有買..都無事..講真,我嚟咁多次,或者見到既,customs 都唔係個個都守..

green tree

mini-matt 都有鬥雞眼,但係個ped. 咁耐以嚟都無講過d乜,上網睇資料,佢哋話好多出咗世既bb,都會有鬥雞眼, 越大, 鬥雞眼既情況就會有improve..咁話...但係個ped,有無話乜嘢特徵,就會知個bb,係唔係真係有問題呀?
其實我都有諗過mini-matt 會唔會對眼有問題,但係又見佢, 離遠,見到daddy, 就笑到四萬咁既口,所以我諗應該佢無問題怪....
依家mini-matt 成日周圍爬,爬咗落coffee table,"捐"唔番出嚟,就嘈..不過,有時佢"捐"咗入個大盒度,我會大叫" mini-matt 豬, 你係邊度呀?" 根住,佢就會"捐" 番出嚟,望住我,就會" eee, aaa" , 好好玩...

meeemeee

我其實都比formula 多過比 breastmilk 比佢架啦, 但係佢都一樣要飲夜奶, 依家好d咪每三個鐘飲一次囉..我都唔知點解佢半夜,咁好惠口,到咗日頭,佢只係顧住爬,玩... ?-(
其實mini-matt 係佢唔夠一個半月,都巳經可以話戒咗夜奶, 瞓成五,六個鐘.但係係越大先越衰格架咋..

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Nillie,

Sorry I don't know the px of the birdnest. The only time I bought it for myself was at "tak sing hong" in LA and it was $130 per "leung". After that, my grandma just buy it from HK. For the small "done chung", I put in 3 birdnest and it will last me about 10 days (keep in fridge). If you have any friends who are immigrating to US, then you can pack a lot (many "gun")...becuz custom don't check people that are landing

...that's how you can stock up :-P :-P :-P

Little Fat Man,

Now we know you can be a very very superb wife

... you need to host a gathering at your house for the LA moms (we can do potluck)

Speaking of bb clothes, I'm beginning to buy 18 mos. clothes for Natalie...after they go in the dryer...it will fit her right. All the 9 months clothes are so small and tight and she is not even a big girl

I can imagine they must be even smaller on Mini-Matt.

Greentree,

I noticed Natalie sometimes will crawl backwards too ?-( ?-( ?-( I just hope she will catch on soon so I don't have to help get her toys

Whalebb,

Where have you been? Have you started at your sister's office yet

I'm going to the Diamond Bar Moms Club tomorrow at Noon, we're meeting at Pantera Park...the club VP is Chinese...but we spoke English to each other on the phone

Dear Moms,

My biggest fear finally happened yesterday, Miss Natalie rolled off our bed :-( :-( :-( I just finished changing her diaper and kept her on my bed while I go use the bathroom...after 30 seconds, I heard a loud "bum" and there she was on the carpet :cry: :cry: :cry: Luckily she did not hit anything and was okay once I picked her up. I don't know how she managed to fall after all the blankets and pillows I have around her. I learned my lesson so now I put her on the floor when I have to sneak out :-| :-| :-|

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

Natmama,

唔好怪自己啦, 小朋友跌下跌下先得大, 唔好跌咁多大野就得囉... 你個女識自己轉身就要放係地下換片啦, 佢地越黎越大有好多時都好爭扎唔俾你換片, 反下反下就好易跌落床, 佢無事就得, 唔嘔, 無瘀咪OKAY囉. 你屋企又有carpet, 唔好咁擔心!!!

greentree,

佢行得開唔開心? 有冇"KAKA"咁笑?

chingbb,

係呀, 我好少上黎BK, 因為成日load得好慢, 我無乜耐性等呀. 我呢排好返好多, 嘔少咗, 但係成日都好累, 成日都想瞓, 真係似隻豬咁呀!

Mrs.Yip,

好耐無見, 你又點呀? 就快搬就好, 你住緊呢到好似唔係咁安全, 係咪? 幾時搞掂新屋? 希望你同家人快D搬好搞掂就安心!

Re: Any mom living in USA now - Part III

muimui,
你終於'浦頭'喇, 我唔係green card interview, 係job interview咋...
offer 好吸引..
sign in bonus 7,500.
relocation 7,000
monthly expense 1,200
salary (only RN pay) 30.84/hour

they asked us to think about it tonight, and will call us tomorrow morning, to confirm, do we want to receive the offer...
if We plan to receive it, they will book the air tickets, car rental, and hotel (3 days 2 nights) for us (me, hubby and amanda) for pre-view hospital visit.
Then decide to sign the contract or not.
So... what I have to ask more? like what kind of benefit should I ask for?????
their hospitals have so many campus, the one I am going, which is close to the capital of CA.. about 1 hours driving.
肥bearbear話無所謂, 大家點睇

遲啲會有多一個大肚媽咪join 我哋US-BK mom大家庭, 佢會去IL同老公住呢...
