Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

All Moms,
Don’t you feel the connection to BK is extremely slow? Or just me??

Lidvia,
Thanks for your phone number. I will give you a call when necessary. My mom said the same thing “住係美國好似坐監咁”…. Anyway, I agree with you about going out to take a break. That definitely helps. I knew. My 99 doesn’t like me to go out in the first month, but my husband helps me….. like telling her I need to go to see the doctor or I HAVE TO go out to do this or that. So far, I went out for 3 times. I still have around a week, then I can go out freely.

Whalebb,
I think you have 宗教的信念 that really helps. When you are not happy or have problems, you can “talk” to your God to relieve your emotion. For me, I just have nothing, but I have BK now. Of course, I can talk to my husband, and actually he’s the only one I can talk to as I don’t have too many friends….. kind of sad I think…. I’m not a strange person or anything, but… I don’t know.

Marble,
How long did you feed your boys with breastmilk? Did you need to give them any formula? I give my daughter formula at night as she can sleep a little longer, meaning I can sleep a little longer too. At first, I would cry because I felt guilty of feeding her formula. Isn’t it the plaza having the Target, Toyrus and Ross? That’s really close to my house. We should meet some time later when I have settled down.

Leohannahchan,
Sorry, I don’t know which restaurant offers free birthday meal…. Say “Happy Birthday” to your husband in advance. BTW, why is the gathering on a weekday? Because it’s your husband’s birthday? I think if it’s on weekend, it’s better….

Jaan, Shiba,
I chose Carina as my daughter’s name because it’s started with C (mine is started with C too) and it means “a keel, beloved, dear”.

Shiba,
Thanks for your offer of the magazine. I think I have read enough info about PPD in both English and Chinese. Plus, more info, advice and support from all the moms here, I think I should be ok.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

leohannachan,

I just found a restaurant named "Fontana". Check out this link.

http://local.yahoo.com/details;_ylt=AnEKB6m_eadhNaQu8jwTYVmHNcIF;_ylu=X3oDMTBpZzIyMjd0BF9zAzk2NjEzNzY5BHNlYwNzcg--?id=21558679&stx=free+birthday+dinners&csz=San+Jose%2C+CA&fr=dd-local-more&ed=1U2Z.K131Dzq.yIzGmv543Dj5FX2Cdx1hKHzsajttwMbZ.0mX0zMfvYaAg--&lcscb=

Look at the first review. It said "Join their mailing list and receive a free dinner coupon for your birthday." I'm not sure if it's kind of late to do that or not.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

natmama,

hope yr little brother will get well soon and be able to join natalie's 1-yr-old b-day.

it's nice that u hv such a much younger brother. that means yr parents, grandparents and yrself have more updated experience taking care of younger kids.


greentree,

i envy that u went so many places for shopping and eating in HK. we didn't go anywhere but staying at home, going down to the beach, park and playground. well, i did a little bit shopping in the mall nearby by taking cab in 15-20 mins. that's it.

btw, how's yr little boy after he had the operation? u're so brave to make up yr mind to do the operation for him at such a young age. if i were u, i would hesitate and probably wait until he's a bit older.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

To All Moms who live in Silicon Valley/Bay Area, CA,

just wondering who is your ob/gyn doctor and how do you like him/her??
i'm thinking to switch to another one.


leohannah,

a few yrs ago, when we celebrated for my aunt-in-law's b-day at Todai in Daly City, it was still free on her b-day without getting any voucher in advance. however, i'm not sure abt it now. also, rules and restrictions might be different at the one in SJ, Cupertino or other locations. you might wanna call the specific Todai restaurant ahead of time to double check.
todai's url: http://www.todai.com/abouttodai.htm

there's another japanese restaurant called Miyake in palo alto (now also available in cupertino). if i remember correctly, years ago, they either offer free dinner for the b-day person or they'll do a little celebration for him/her.


lidvia or other moms,

u could try to mix the boiled egg yolk with mashed ripe banana (w/ or w/out milk, w/ or w/out cereal), and let yr bbs to try it.
my boy used to like it that way when he was younger.


carinamommy,

do u live close to the Mckee/Capitol area? it sounds like you are when u described that shopping area. if so, u're not in the same area as Marble.
i don't live in that area either, but it takes me abt 15 mins from 680.

for yr situation of ppd, i think u don't need to worry much if it happens in the first few months or so. it seems like it's not very unusal for most new moms. looks like u're in the right direction to get out of the ppd. u're lucky to hv such a supportive husband to find out the BK site for u.
i didn't know abt the BK site until my bb was over 1-yr-old. also, my 99 didn't like me getting on to BK and said i'm wasting my time and most ppl there are igorant housewives (to all moms, pls excuse my bossy 99). she would look over my shoulder when i was surfing the web in my old work area downstairs. i think she's the major cause of my ppd. my hubby is also not a person who's sensitive to my own feelings and hormone change after birth. all he cares is work, work, work (he works for job satistifaction more than money).
btw, i didn't realize that i've been having ppd until in the past several months or so, but i think it's been improving. so, it's good that u realize it at the very beginning.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

leohannahchan,

wow, you live close to MD then, my sister-in-law is living close to mountain area and it takes her 6 hours 60/mph to drive up here, you go to NY only 8 hours drive, you are darn close! Once we tried to drive up to NYC, it took us 5 hours. I was so beated.
Yes, certainly we can meet in DC. I love to!!! I haven't visited my s-i-law at all. My hubby doesn't wanna drive 6 hours to go up there. Everytime she comes up here she scolds my hubby about not visiting her! haha!

Shiba_Inu,

I wish i knew earlier about "FEI CHI" fomular, i was suffering so much from that last few days. I bit the tissue underneath my lips several times in a meal. I didn't why I was so careless! Anyway, it's getting better ... hopefully it will totally disappear tomorrow!!!

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

SY Mom

I picked Perry Lim because he is close to San Jose and he is Christian. I got his business card from my OBGYN 's nurse and she did not recommend him at first. But my husband called him and set up an interview with him and he was quite sincere and offered free flu shot to us. So, that's why we picked him. But will I recommend him....hum....if you use HMO, then I guess you are OK cause there will no over-charge problem occur. But I am PPO and so sometime when I saw the bill...was quiet surprise. My Chloe's medical bill is even higher than my OB who delivered my baby and performed C section for me....So, just for your info and he is a nice person but if you use PPO just be careful on your medical bill.
I know you go to the same church with him, so ...I guess he will not do that to you...haha...
When I move back to NC, I will change to HMO to avoid overcharge thing happen again!!! :evil: :evil:

Carinamommy
You are right because 7/26 is my husband birthday and he can only eat free at that day lar. Normally Marbel and I meet at weekday or dine out at weekday night cause his husband off at weekday only.

Clarab
My husband just told me it take only 4 hours to drive to MD wor.... By the way, I forget you will have a boy or girl this time? How many pound you already gained? Only 3 more months to go....

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Natmama

The congee for mini-matt is pretty thick.The rice that I bought at Vons, doesn't make it as mushy as normal rice..But my brother gave me "佛袓米" is a really good, taste much better and is really "綿".. .. Now I'm starting to train mini-matt to eat chinese food, so far he's doing pretty good. :mrgreen: ..He loves streamed fish..
Peggy, I don't know why mini-matt has to drink milk at mid-night again.. Last night, he woke up at 4 in the morning, I couldn't figure out why he cried so loud and didn't stop it in the first place. Most of the time he would go back to sleep after sucking my boob (only takes 1 min). Eventually, I fed him a 4ozs of formula and he fell asleep afterwards.. He really tortured us last night.
Between 9:30 and 11:00, he drank 9 ozs of formula already..
I almost forgot to tell you , mini-matt has lots of flem since he started drinking Next Step Enfamil (maybe I'm wrong)..


Whalebb,

Speaking of religion, my husband said I have to keep my words, he forced me to go the Catholic class for 1 year before I am baptized..I feel like a rebel because I'm buddhist.. :-| ...it's a contradiction in my heart ..Mini-matt will be baptized in Aug..

Shi-bu,

I never take my shower or wash my hair with ginger skin. I use some kind of chinese herb instead..(I forget the name :mrgreen: ), it's much easier..
when is our next gathering ? maybe you guys should come to visit me this time.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Whalebb,

My brother and Natalie are good buddies. Because he is only eight, he is the next youngest one in our family other than my cousin Cory and Natalie. Whenever Natalie sees one of them...she screams with joy ...she also imitates when they make funny noises :-P :-P :-P

Little Fat Man,

Natalie has been waking up in the middle of the night too. She would scream and say "yai yai mami"....as if she's yelling at me :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: I don't give her any milk when she wakes up like that...I just do the "ta ta mi" on the floor with her and let her crawl around. She will eventually fall back asleep. I don't think that's a good habit though so I will ignore her tonight and just let her cry until she falls back asleep Do you think it has to do with the sudden change to hot weather, that's why our babie are acting weird at night? I hope she is not having teething problems with her molars. She has 8 teeth so far up front. So Mini-Matt has flem from the Next Step formula ...I haven't started Natalie on it yet, we still have the RTU that I want to finish up. Why don't you let him try regular cow's milk, maybe it's less sweet and he will have less flem

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

leohannah,

we hv ppo instead of hmo for our health plan, cos i don't like the non-flexibility of hmo although it's much cheaper.
i understand what u meant when u're on ppo when receiving yr bills. we had the same problem when we had blue shield ppo when my husband worked for a start-up company while i was not working.
one of my friends was billed by the same doctor as mine for the epidural more than 2 times than mine, when she was on blue shield ppo while i was on hp medical plan (administered by united healthcare).

btw, did u deliver yr little girl at el camino hospital? who's yr ob doctor and how do u like him/her?

are u still meeting at Todai for dinner on 7/26? if so, at the one in SJ or Cupertino? my husband or i'll need to pick up my parents from a tour that evening. also, we're trying a nanny on that day and need to give her a ride to the train station. so, we'll need to arrange and see if we could join u. i love to meet u and yr little girl before u're moving to NC. btw, i think NC is a good place to raise yr kid.

I am having Blue Shield PPO now and that is exactly what you described....they are just expensive and they did not cover lot of things... :evil: But we will have Cigna next year and I don't know Cigna is good or bad but hopefully better than Blue Shield one la.
I was delivered in El camino hospital and I don't know your friend also delivered in El camino or not, but that things happen a lot in that hospital cause the anesthologist in that hospital form a union and will not negotiate with any insurance companies and like to charge any amount whatever they want. But the old group was kicked out by El Camino in Nov 2004. I delivered Chloe in Jan 2005 and was done by a new group of anesthologists and the cost of epidural was around 200 something. ( I had the epidural for more than 6 hours )
Anyway, my OB was connie tan which was referred by my church sister but my husband like her a lot. But don't expect she will very caring or like your friend. She is the boss in your pregnancy and make most important decision for you which is very good...cos you don't want very nice but indecisive ob especially in some critical moment.
Yes, we will still have the dinner in Todai and I talked to Marble about location. We both ok in SJ or Cupertino.So you can decide for us and you can call Marble to confirm you can come or not. I wish to meet you and your family too before we move.
Have you been to NC before? You can visit us when you visit there...

My OB doctor is Dr. John C. Yu his address is 2101 Forest Avenue#120 San Jose CA 95128 Tel:408-998-2242. 其實 Dr. Yu 係我hubby's colleague 介紹比我,我覺得佢係一個好有經驗同細心o既醫生,記得我第一個月 pregnent o既時候,我都唔知自己有o左仲食過藥添,我到第二個月先知自己有o左,當時我己立即告訴 Dr. Yu 我幾時食過 D 乜o野藥,佢初時都好緊張又要我驗血又要我每個星期返去照 ultrasound. 直至到佢覺得我無問題啦,先每個月去一次。我都覺得 Dr. Yu 佢幾 cool o家!平時見親佢都唔係點笑,直至我順利生o左 Clarence 之後先第一次見佢笑咋! Anyway, 你都可以考慮下佢o既。

leohannah,
我唸我都係下次先 join 你o地啦!祝你 Hubby 生日快樂!

wendyyipwy﹐

有時間上黎傾, 冇咁悶。


CarinaMommy,

我大仔飲人奶/ formula 6 個月, 之後就全formula 。細仔就全人奶。我近果個 shopping mall 係有 Dynasty restaurant 果個. 有時我地都會去果度飲茶食晚飯。


Whalebb,

呢排都係湊仔,湊仔,再湊仔......


Clarab

時間過得好快, 仲有3 個月就見到 BB ,有冇好緊張,你媽媽會唔會過黎幫你坐月? D人話生飛滋因為熱氣,所以會咬到舌.睇左 Evie D相, 好好好得意食到成面都係﹗﹗﹗﹗你老公好有心機,自己鋪石磚O係個backyard 到。D鬱金香好靚, 我都想種,不過冇時間加上又冇地方.....


小肥佬,

我一家4口總磅數大慨 390 磅! 勁唔勁 ? 我既磅數多過你同mini-matt 加埋 kyle 早幾日 6 個月check up,打左4 枝針, 好似比 vampire 咬咁, 到第二日晚有 99 F,只係興興地冇發燒。而家冇早排咁肥囉, 飲少奶, 唔知點解日間唔係飲太多, 係臨訓果餐同埋半夜起身果餐飲得多﹗Mini-matt 都就黎一歲啦, 祝佢健健康康, 快高長大﹗送個 bday cake 比過佢
Nicholas 睇到張bdaycake pic , 佢要吹熄枝candle ,笑死我﹗hahaha....



Natmama,

Happy Birthday to Natalie ! 祝Natalie 身體健康, 越大越靚女﹗ bday party 好唔好玩呀,有冇食 cake ?

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Marble,

B女成日都係食成咁,所以影親相都做花面貓! 佢可以一路食野成隻手咁放入個口到, 好肉酸!
係呀, 我地後花園係上個月先鋪咗D磚, 可以有多D地方坐下囉, 都幾好架, 樹陰下乘涼, 不過呢排下下成三十幾度, 我地就坐係屋企嘆冷氣, 頂唔順出面D蚊同埋濕氣! 我地D鬱金香係老公阿嬷時種落, 越生越多, 真係好靚架. 我老公成日覺得種花掘泥可以減壓, 又可減肥, 佢咪成日蒲咗出去掘囉! 我都越黎越鐘意種, 不過種乜都係2個月之內會瓜柴! :-( 我諗我都要考慮種下野花仔, 咁就唔使咁慘, 種乜C乜! :cry:
阿媽應該唔會過黎啦, 佢過黎我仲辛苦, 佢成日會喊悶, 我又要車佢四圍去, 又要照顧埋佢, 好似我似阿媽多D!! 我令願佢跟尾個SUMMER先黎, 起碼我可以帶住2個B同佢四圍去丫. 不過阿媽話我住荒山野嶺悶屎佢喎... 我諗住佢黎可能要申請directv中文台幾個月咁, 等佢有電視睇下囉...陰公!

小肥佬,

你Mini-Matt受洗儀式煩唔煩, 我地都想同B女受洗, 不過老公話驚佢成個儀式裡面都瓜瓜叫, 坐唔定喎! 你地又冇諗過點呀?

whalebb,

你老公係咪到咗啦? 你少咗留言既? 你梗係成日掛住同老公拍拖仔啦!

Shiba_Inu,

你點呀, 心情如何? 就生得啦!! 有無行得好辛苦呀?

Wendy,

慢慢黎, 唔好心急啦, 要時間適應! 去圖書館上網啦 (得閒果陣) 快好多架!
