Thank you for updating our forum. How is Sean doing in school? Does he enjoy playing with his classmates? It must be nice to have few hours to yourself during the day. I'm looking forward to that time for myself... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Marble,
Answer your question: my daughter's Chinese name is 卓盈, nickname is 盈盈. We decided on it long time ago, and it turns out that it suits her so well: 盈 = full , so she is a full-moon baby la!
Natmama,
I am not brave to "decide" on no drug, it's just because my girl swims too fast! I will definitely bring her to the swimming pool next summer to explore her potential!
Muimui,
Help Alex to kiss kiss Karina la! But she was sleeping and did not know what happened wor! (she is really a sleepy baby!)
All,
Breastfeeding is really hard, I admire all of u who have done that for your baby!
Nillie,
11/12 NY moms gathering is good to me. Please let me know the time and I'll be there.
Also, thanks for Zic and your studio picture info. I think I will take Corey there within a month.
Hi Cutie Mommy,
I live in Queens and I work in midtown. You're so lucky to have a flexible job. Although my office hour is from 9 to 5. However, I normally be there at 8:15am and leave 5:30pm or later.
As far as Corey is concerned, my dad take care of him during the day. Corey also stays with my parents 2 to 3 nights a week. I'm very comfortable with that. I guess I am not a natural mom, I prefer not to stay home and take care of the baby. I get frustrated while Corey cries...
Hi carinamommy,
I agree with cutie mommy, you should find a person who can take good care of Carina before returning back to work. Do you have any "candiate" in your mind?

Is okay when you just have 1 kid but when you have 2, you will need to have a flexible hour job for sure. We both very lucky to have our own parent watching the kids for us, we are free to say anything to them concering the babies's issues without worry hurting their feelings (if it is our in-laws, it will be completely different story) :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
So how much Corey's weight now? The nites that he is not staying with you guys, you and your hubby still can enjoy the "2 people world",how nice
Cutie Mommy,
Since I try to "kill" my vacation days at work, I stay home yesterday and today. Guess what!? I saw his first roll over yesterday.
My hubby and I don't really have "2 people world" as we have do the laundry, house cleaning and grocery shopping while Corey is not with us. It would be lucky if I can catch The Apprentice. :-(
Corey is 4 months and few days old and weight 16 lbs 2 oz and 27.25 in height. He just started to eat rice cereal over the weekend. Now he is eating rice cereal for lunch and apple sauce for dinner. Of course I feed him with formula besides these 2 meals la.
Little Fat Man,
How could you say something that touching (當bb一日一日咁長大,佢地既成長,其實你會覺得係一種享受.如果失去左,就會永遠的失去..好好珍惜同佢每一日既時間..當佢大d,你就會覺得好懷念和唔拾得)?? I cried a little bit after reading your message :-( Actually, I have already missed how tiny she was....
Natmama, Zic,
I know motherhood is not that easy. I will add oil!!!
Shiba_Inu,
I agree, breastfeeding is not easy. Add oil!!!!!!!
socloudy,
Unfortunately, I don't have a right "candidate" to take care of Carina.... even I live with my in-laws..... I wish my mom lives in the US, but she's not....
Valbee,
Happy Birthday to Valerie It must be fun and excited to host a 2-day party. Enjoy
Cutie_Mommy,
I don't know if it's fortunated or unfortunated to me. Unfortunated is that I don't have a right hand to take care of Carina. Fortunated is that I will see the whole growing process of her, every minutes and every seconds. I think I really can't go back to work until maybe she goes to school.... lucky you.
Little Carina has grown so much since the last picture you posted...very cute I agree with Little Fat Man, you should feel grateful that you are there every step of the way during Carina's precious childhood. I used to think what a waste to give up a good job and freedom to stay home and take care of Natalie. As I see her growth day by day, I realized the reward comes a little bit at a time and forever lasting. Now I think back to the days when I have to spend 9 hrs of my day catering to my boss or doing work that has no real meaning, I realized my "current job" is what I was cut out for Just remember the few years you take from your career can provide lifelong benefits to your baby, then everything is worthwhile :lol: :lol: :lol:
Clarab,
Your 2B will be coming soon, take care ar!!
Nillie_Mami,
"as Karina肯瞓..." --- this is true for 22 hours except the most sleepy hours for me... :-( :-( :-( For the last 2 days, she cries from 12 mid-nite to 2am for no reason..... I want to cry too
Carinamommy,
Seems that u sounds very energetic now - we are so glad that u past your most difficult period already! Your girl has so many different facial expressions! :lol:
socloudy:
How wonderful you saw Corey 1st time roll over! My little girl still didn't do it yet maybe she is too chubby, hehehe :mrgreen: I remembered seeing my son made his 1st step and that is the memory you will never forget!
clareb:
Is almost time right? Make sure constantly telling Evie that you will be going to the hospital to give birth soon so she won't be scared when you are not home those few nites and won't be surprised going to the hospital to visit you and her sister. You might also want to buy a gift to Evie first and give that to her after you gave birth and tell her that it is from her sister. That will make her very happy and welcome her little sister more gar. :-P
shiba_inu:
Breastfeeding is not easy at the beginning but you should take the opportunity that your parents are there to help you out now, so just make sure you have a very good "sit moon" period, you know, after that, is all on your own gar la and if you have a better "sit moon", it make a big difference to your health gar!
carinamommy:
Both working and stay-at-home moms have the good and bad, so let's try to enjoy the good ways and not to complain the bad
Carina is so funny, she must give you a lot of joy, I can feel that you are doing much better now, so happy for you! :-P
muimui313:
Have you tried to use the birth control patch? it is like the birth control pills but instead of taking it, it is the sticker (patch) that you stick it on your body (anywhere but of course not on your forehead la) and you just need to change it once a week, you leave it on days and nites. I have some friends using that and tell me is pretty good. :lol:
子宫環- you will need to concern about the PID (pelvis inflammation disease) it happened very rare but still there is a risk for it but other than that 子宫環 is pretty convienient.
