A news from SCMP today shakes all local expecting mothers' legs. A mother in the 2nd trimester was informed she lost the booking of maternity bed in Adventist Hospital, despite the reservation had already made.
Many private doctors and pregnant women complaint that the influx of mainland mothers occupy local private hospital service and reached the level of compromising local residents' benefit.
I've made the reservation but now I have a little worry about the situation in March next year. Honestly, resources are really scared. Even I am guaranteed to have a shelter after birth, but can the facilities support the flood of demand?
Pregnancy alone brings lot of worries, please do not add one more in our list. Please!!!

Do you want your kid be a boss or working bee?
Had read an article in current Time Asia. Nowadays parents have extremely high expectation on their kid and greatly concern about the pre-school education. There are lots of super-intensive language and maths training for children even starting from 3 years old.
Many parents and educational experts believe the early trainings ensure their academic success in the future.
However, some researchers discovered that these can-food study courses will bring negative impact, especially for those younger than 3 years old. Their creativity would be spoiled.
Then the article raised a question 'Do you want your kid be a boss or working bee?'
What a good question!

Good signs
Hi Little one in my tummy,
Dad and me went for check up last Friday, your brother also came along. In the ultrasound scanning, we cannot see the cyst inside your brain anymore, and the doc told us your kidneys are getting smaller. We are so happy for you, you must be a very smart baby.
When Lucas looked at your ultrasound scanning in the monitor, he sat on Daddy's laps, speechlessly, he was stunned by the images, but I am sure he knew it was you .
I think you will love him a lot, he is also a good kid, you two will be good friends!!!!!

Happy 1.5 year Birthday Lucas and happy 6-month pregnancy
Hi Lucas, do you love the two mini bus toys I bought you last night? I am so impressed that you shared one with me when playing them at night. You are a very good and considerate kid.
And Little one in my tummy, do you know I have already carried you for 6-months? How do you feel? Should be very comfortable. Mommy heard that many babies cry a lot in their first 3 months after born because they miss the security feeling inside mommy's tummy so much.
I will have a roomful for boys soon - two little angels and one big kidult. Wow...

Cutie Pie Lucas
Lucas is almost 1.5 year old, he is always a cutie pie and I miss him always, even I am just 10 footsteps apart from him.
He picks up many vocabularies in these few months. We are searching for play group for him, we believe he would love singing songs and dancing with other kids.
Sometimes, he shakes his hip when there is music, even those ad songs from TV.
Little brother will come out in less than 4 months. Hope they will stay along well. =)
One day Jeff asked me how to distribute my love to all three handsome boys (the two baby and himself). I told him I will try to issue more. (similar to money supply and money demand theory)!!

Creativity
Look at this. Lucas is holding the silver bracelet of Auntie. He opens it up and saying 'Don-do' (Donald) loudly - He associates this funny shape to 'M', and for him, 'M' equals to 'McDonald', and 'Don-do' is 'McDonald' in his current language.
When he closes the bracelet, he tells us it is 'sum' - a heart shape.

Baby Traveller
Cece, Grace's baby is very lucky, her parents had already travelled with him in several European countries in his first few months (they live in Italy).
We are much more conservative and Jeff always believes we can have oversea trip with Lucas only when he reaches 2. Now, another baby boy is coming, our planning should be further postponed.
Okay, save more money in these few years first...

Lovely weather!!
We are stepping into the Fall and Winter, the weather is nice here.
We just had a wonderful weekends - Tai Po Park & Halloween Party on Saturday, the Peak & my mom's home on Sunday. I got enough exercise, and it should be good for my baby in tummy also.
Lucas was very cheerful especially when he was on a high chair and having meal with us. He shaked his legs all the time.
BTW, Lucas looked so handsome in the Wizard (actually it was Witch) costume.

We get a good news finally
Since our doc found a chyroid plexus cyst (CPC) and kidney dilation of our unborn baby, we were anxious and worrying. Luckily we got the result of amniocentesis this evening, Chromosome T13, 18 and 21 of baby are normal. That means most likely these two soft markers will be resolved in the coming 4-8 weeks.
This is really a challenge for me!! To wait for a critical result in 5 days. I still remember the feeling of doing amniocentesis. It was not painful at all, but was just scary, came along with the soberness after receiving such a shocking news.
Jeff always told me baby is very strong and is a smart kid, I will take more care of myself.

Waiting...
What we're waiting for, is just one phone call. It will come anytime in these few days. Ahhhhhhhh....
Hope I can get the result soon. Waiting is not a good feeling, sometimes.
Little baby, work hard, mama will give you strength, and nutrients, please get as much as you want.

Having Fun in Ocean Park
Last Saturday we went to Ocean Park with Lucas. It was his second visit of the amusement park. His first time was in his 6 months. In the last trip, he still looked like a 'rice ball' and didn't understand what we were doing.
Surely he is no longer a 'rice ball' now. He was so excited and waved to many people walked by. He loves pandas a lot and we bought him a mini panda stuff toy.
See how nice he looks in this photos, seems he was modelling in Ocean Park!!

Are you a boy or a girl
Dear little BB,
Are you a boy or a girl? Mama had the check up last week but you refused to show us your gender.
People around us wanna know it desperately. Daddy said you looks like a boy, but I think you are a girl, because you are more gentle than Lucas when he was in my tummy.
Anyway, no matter you are a boy or a girl, I only wish you are happy and healthy.

Diarrhea and vomiting
Lucas was suffering from Diarrhea and vomiting last weekend. We worried about him so much. Luckily he is getting well now.
Diarrhea and vomiting cause dehydration and it could be dangerous to babies. When he threw up suddenly on Saturday night after the congee dinner, Jeff and I had the same thought immediately - rush to the clinic ASAP. We made the reservation in our nearest clinic moved in 5 minutes. It is just great to have a partner who thinks the same direction as yours.
Things got smooth, the medicine stopped vomiting and healing the diarrhea bit by bit.
We missed my colleague's wedding banquet last night, I felt sorry about that but I think Lucas needed us more. He was so moody and was even screaming when he saw some raisins in a piece of bread. (He loves raisins a lot in the normal days).
He lost around one pound over last two days but we believe he will gain back the losing stones asap.

Scanner
It happened last time, and it happens again.
Since my belly is expanding but not big enough to look like an expecting mother, I get bored about how people look at me in MTR and KCR.
They just stare at my belly than 'scan' me from head to toes by eyes, but they wouldn't move their ass out of the seats, or just rush to occupy a seat that in front of me, with their eyes still on my belly.
I do want to scream to them, or simply take their eyeballs out. It is absolutely fine for not offering me a seat, but please move their eyes off me, can they??

He really knows
Today when I asked Lucas where the new baby is, he ran to me and touched my belly!!
Me and Jeff stunned. I covered my eyes by my hands because it is so touching, I could not help to cry.
Lucas is really a smart kid.
