Hello all moms,
I am back to BK finally!
Ryan is being super active. Luckily, now he understands more and he is willing to listen to us lor.. otherwise I think I would have heart attack everyday!
Nillie,
I always crave for hot pot/ beef/ tomato/ sponge cake this pregnancy!.. too bad my hubby has to work on sat, otherwise we may be able to join.
All Moms,
Sorry for the late replies as my connection was so bad for the last week or so, so I couldn't come up here..... now, need to catch up again.
Nillie,
I'm soooooo sorry to hear your story. I really wanted to cry when I saw your post, but I couldn't cry out as I thought it's because I'm taking the anti-depressant drug now. Ever since I started to take the drug, I couldn't cry whenever I saw/heard something sad..... Anyway, I know you will have a good "sit moon" that I really feel happy for you
Zic,
You are such a nice person. I'm so happy to see that you and Nillie can support each other. Carina's doing OK.... just only OK. She's suffering from teething a lot, one by one by one..... that made her doesn't want to eat. Now, she has 11 teeth and 2 are coming. Her appetite is coming back, but I think it's still not enough. Anyway, I'm happy as long as she's eating. I'm sorry to hear Ryan's news, but I'm sure he will find a better one in the near future!
AngieMame,
Do you have any problem so far after going back to work? Eventually, I will go back to work too, but I don't know if I can handle the transition period of going back to work and leaving Carina to a day-care...... About Angie, Carina was the same half a year ago, everything came about the same time. I knew it's tough, but it's an experience.... a very valuable experience for every parent.
MuiMui,
Good to hear that you're doing fine.

My niece had Roseola few months ago too. She also got back to normal within a week. I heard that Karina's not gaining weight. I learn from Carina and another friend's baby that SOME babies are not born to be chubby like others. We need to accept this fact and don't try to compare with others. As long as the baby is healthy and active, it's ok.
my friend had taken a day or two off to back-rest after she had amnio-centesis. it's better for you to do that too if someone else can help u taking care of your older kid.
carina-mommy,
good to hear from u!
how long u've been on anti-depressant medication?
is it so bad that u couldn't fall asleep?
my friend and i were also told by the doctors to take the medication, but both of us didn't take it.
however, lots of things happened to our families recently which made me worried more, have nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night.
shina-inu, or whoever's girl had antibiotics for ear infection recently,
the rashes that yr girl had might not be roseola. sometimes even it's hard for the doctor to tell if it's roseola or something else. a couple of my friends' girls had rashes due to allergic reaction to the antibiotic.
Shiba-Inu, Carina-mommy,
i think it's ok for girls to be "petite" as long as they're healthy. i've been in petite size since i was little and my grandparents worried so much. whenever i ate a little more at dinner, they would celebrate. however, i've been healthy and did well in school without any supervision from others.
my younger brother's been in big size, but his school works drove my mom crazy.
For the first couple of nights after I took the drug, I felt extremely sleepy in the next mornings even I had had enough sleep. But after that 2 days, I am totally fine without any other side effects. To be honest with you, I was hesitating to take the drug at first as the doctor told me what kinds of side effects that I might have. So, my husband and I looked into more info on the internet and found that St John Worts might be worth to try without too much side effects. Then, I tried SJW instead of the prescribed drug for a month. After taking the antidepressant drug, I was supposed to see the doctor 1 month later. So, I told her that I didn't take the drug. She said if I had decided to see her, I had to trust her. She said SWJ also has side effects and its effectiveness is only fractions of the prescribed drug. Anyway, I really feel that the drug is controling my emotion which is good to me I think.
I have be trying to let my husband to feed her at dinner time as I always became very frustrated while feeding her at night. I really don't know why she usually eats better during lunch.
Sometimes, even I have be trying to relax, my 99 thinks I'm not feeding her and not feeding her enough. But as you said, I don't want to push her to eat..... what a tough situation, I know!!!
How are you all lately? I haven’t visited the BK website for a while la. It is really fast now. And I am glad to see all postings. It just seems a lot of friends around. It is so warm especially when you are away from your family. Will try to log in more often la.
Nillie,
We had a good time in Poughkeepsie. It is very pretty to see all different color of trees. Zic and her family are very nice and her mother in law made us a good dinner. We also went for an apple picking and pumkin picking. It is fun. Even though, we stayed for a night, it is not enough time as there is so much to see and play. Of course, we also love seeing Kurt Kurt again. He grew up a lot lei!
Regarding the scrapbook, I only made couple pages. I don’t know why but I have been very busy lately. Joshua doesn’t sleep very long and sometimes just skips his nap. As a result, I don’t have much time to take care of housework and become exhausted at night. I haven’t done any websurfing for a while la. Sometimes, I feel so isolated lor….
Anyway, I am trying to set up the nap time routine for Joshua again. And hopefully, I can get some time back for myself la.
Regarding the Hot pot gathering, I love to come but already have plan on Nov 11. Sorry about that! Yes, I am going back to HK on Nov 14 for two months. I am so excited. You know, I really miss my family. And I think they miss Joshua too. Last time, we only stayed there for three weeks, it was so rush and I hardly had time to spend with my family. Anyway, enjoy your gathering. I will see your little prince when I get back to NY la. :-P :-P
Sorry to hear about your situation. But try to stay positive la, your emotion will affect your baby too. And I will pray for you and your family. All the best la!
SY_Mom,
I know it is hard to relax when something happened to our families. But learn to not worry too much and be optimistic la. I am a worried type person and my family has a lot of problems. I don’t realize that affect my health too. My family’s problems haven’t resolved yet but I keep telling myself to stay positive. If I am not taking good care of myself, I will become one of the problems for my family.
Nillie_Mami,
I can’t make it on 11/11. My hubby has to work that day and it may be a hassle for me to take Corey to SI. Hope you folks have a great time la.
Netjayne,
Don’t worry too much! Hope your lil one is fine and healthy.
Dorisbee,
Are you going to bring lots of food and toys to entertain Sai Sai on the plane? Hope you have a great time in HK.
Yeah, I will try to bring some new toys and a lot of snacks for my flight. I never fly with Joshua alone and it is a big challenge to me lei! I guess I will try to take as much sleep as possible before I leave and hopefully I will have enough energy to entertain Joshua la.
How’s Corey doing? Have your parents come back yet?
By the way, do you need anything from HK? If so, give me a call la.
Jayne,
You're silly ga... why you use your life to switch with your baby's ar?? Don't forget you still have Edison and your hubby ma... Everything will turn out fine... pregnant woman is especially sensitive... Be positive.. You're your baby's mother.. therefore, you have to be strong!! Add oil!! We all support you!!
Nillie,
I will come down on Nov 10 then... then stay for 3 nights la.. leave on Mon... Ryan has to work all those days.. Can't wait to see you lei... Amanda can play with Kurt la
Carinamom,
All babies have to get through the process of teething... They will get use to the pain... I think Carina is so senstive recently, because she has her molars'cut.. Those are the most painful one, since they're not as sharp as other's teeth... And those molars have to push through the gum in order to come out... After cutting the teeth, she should be ok...
Nillie taught me freeze a wet towel into the freezer, so the towel will be cold and icy... and then rub on Carina's gum to make it numb... Then put some Oral Gel on... Then she will feel a lot better... Kurt didn't complain after I did that :mrgreen:
About Carina's eating...
I used to be like you... I would get so upset because Kurt didnt' eat well... Then I went to see the nutrionist.. she didn't change Kurt how to eat better BUT she changed me!! She says you should look at the nutrition intake per week not per MEAL!!! Somedays Kurt will eat better, someday he won't have mood...
Then, I just look at how well he's eating on the day... forget those unwanted eating scences.. If he really doesn't have much mood at 1 meal.. Then I just forget it... It's hard to accept this fact at first... But then, I get use to it...I realise, you can't chase him all day long and feed him 1 bite here and 1 bite there... He will never learn what's the feelings of hunger and full... And most important thing, I'm so tired of it... and worries that he still doesn't have enough for the day...
I also teach Kurt to clap hands and say "bau bau"when he wants to stop eating... Then I respect him, I put him down on the highchair.. Instead of you should finish your plate which mommy had assigned for you... Nillie's right... give a smaller portion first, then if she still wants more, you can give her little bit more... In this way, she won't be overwhelmed by her eyes, then end up she can actually finish a bigger amount... Plus, she will definitely finish her plate.
Carina is old enough to choose how much she eats... mommy just gives the right kind of nutrition... Let her feed herself more, teach her how to pick up food from fingers and also teach her how to use folks... Really hold her hands and spear the food to her fork, and show her how to put it into her mouth.. Then you can say "Carina, Spear it!! Use your fork spear your food..." She will enjoy more eating because she can have a sense of control of what she's eating.... instead of mommy wants me to eat this and that... Do you understand what I mean?? Change your attitude, then you can see the result...Trust me
遲D等我地返CA前可再出多黎一次﹐下次試下California Pizza Kitchen呀﹐開左喇!
