他的名字叫天立
我同Manki已想好了弟弟的名字. 叫"天立",有沒有特別意思?當然有啦.
子日""吾十有五而志於學，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳順，七十而從心所欲，不踰矩"
Manki 生天立正是三十(sorry! 說了你的年齡:p) ,至於呢句點解,自己google下啦.
還有"頂天立地",堅強正直之意.

Somersault
Guess what, the little baby in my tummy is very active. My doc told me he turned himself upside down early in the 28th week, but now he had just done another somersault and returned to his original position in the 31st week.
We can only confirm whether he can settle in upside down position 2 weeks later.
*****
My doc noticed that I gained 2.4kg within 3 weeks. The growth rate reached the margin, she asked me not to eat too much sweet and carbohydrate.
I am very determinate and decide to control my weight immediately. Tonight, I didn't eat any snack as usual after dinner, and I had 30 minutes prenatal yoga. This is my mission in the remaining 8 weeks.

Muscle sore and night leg cramps
My tummy size is increasing. My body is heavier and my legs can't support very well, every night I have muscle sore and leg cramps. I couldn't sleep well in the past few days. I was almost awake in Friday night.
We will have a check-up again tomorrow afternoon, should discuss with my doc about the C-section arrangement. I should confirm with my bosses when and how long of my maternity leave will be within this week.
Cross my fingers!!

Amazing memories
Thanks Jeff, Mui Mui and cousin for giving me such a happy afternoon last Sunday. Without your help, I cannot have such a nice 'pregnancy album'!!
Little baby, thanks for keeping me in such as nice shape even in my third trimester. I am a lucky expecting mom.
Week 30
I am in the 30th week of pregnancy. Little baby seems turned himself upside down already, because I can feel his legs in my upper tummy, kicks me sometimes right under my rib cage.
I remember when Lucas was inside me, he loved to kick my rib cage in the 8-9 months, sometimes even caused me pain. My doc said it was normal.
The feeling is funny when you have a little creature crawling inside your body!!

Super nanny is back
Finally our super nanny, Ah Sa is back. I did worry she wouldn't come back.
We preempted Lucas about Ah Sa's return in these two days. When he met her, he was a bit shy but could not hide his pleasure. Ah Sa carried him immediately and Lucas did not struggle. He remembered and missed her a lot.
Tonight, we resume out late night life - checking emails and web surfing with light switch on!!
Hope everybody has a sound sleep tonight!!!!

Exhaustive work - full time mom
20 minutes to 2008, I am now on bed, typing this entry with my handy notebook.
We cannot join any count down party, how can you sneak to Time Square and leaving your 1 1/2 old baby alone in his crib? However, I enjoy this cozy moment with my little family much more than with a bunch of gorgeous people in any party.
Jeff and I are being full time parents more than one week, we cannot describe how psychically exhausted we are. I really appreciate all those moms and dads who devote their time totally to babies. This is really a 24x7 work, you cannot take a 3 minutes nap or coffee break simply because you are tired. It is because, kids are most demanding bosses in the world.
However, a little smile on Lucas's face can melt our heart immediately and we will never refuse his need of our attention.
I am at 29th week of pregnancy. I do not know where is the fear of premature delivery come from, I always worry little baby will come out anytime. Last night I felt some pain and my womb seems to contract quite heavily. I was scared but I was really too tired to`feel scared. I decided not to wake up and everything would be fine. Thanks god nothing strange happens today.
Almost 7 minutes to 2008, I wish you all happy new year!!!!

Yuen's family had a very Merry Christmas!!!
We just had many celebrations in the past few days:
Dec 23 - X'mas party in Tin's home. Lucas was very shy, but Jeff said it's normal, he was also a bit scared by a houseful of girls that night. He wondered why we have so many girls in our company. We all have this same question actually.
Dec 24 - Opened souvenirs from USA, bought by grandparents. BBQ with friends at home place. Lucas was also shy, as usual.
Dec 25 - Beach time at Gold Coast, not Australia, but Tuen Mun. Then had a Christmas Dinner in Element shopping mall.
Dec 26 - A nice afternoon at Lion Nature Education Centre, Sai Kung, followed up with a delicious seafood dinner.
Dec 27 - Picnic at Tai Po Park, we brought Isaac and Ching with us. The theme of this picnic is Healthy Food. We had juice, chocolate milk, raisins, crackers and bread. Issac had no interest in all these.
What a busy holiday, we still have more than a week of holiday ahead!!!!

Mamei
Lucas is calling me 'Mamei' a lot these few days.
He called me 'Ma' or 'Mama' before but not always, because in Cantonese, Grandma also sounds 'Mama' but in lower tone, which confused him. When he called me 'Mama', Grandma would misunderstand it and said 'Long Long, you call me a lot, you are a nice baby.'
Therefore, he chose not to say 'Mama' to me much, and replaced my title by 'Ah', 'Yee' etc.
Now Lucas knows how to pronounce 'Mamei' and understands it is exclusive to me. He speaks it confidently and loudly.
My heart melts down everytime when he says 'Mamei' in his sweet voice.
Before I become a mom, I couldn't imagine someone will call me Mom one day. I always felt it is so remoted to me, and this word associates with the image of typical moms who are not so cool. However, 'Mom' emerges as the most important word in my vocabulary now.
Life changes totally once you become a parent.

A little reader of The Economist
When Lucas is having a bathroom visit, he loves reading The Economist to kill time.
Wish me good luck
My unborn baby is growing in a steady speed. Luckily I still look neat in my 6.5 months pregnancy.
This restless baby kicks me always, especially in the mid night, and the strength is not small, sometimes surprises me a little.
The pregnancy this time is not as easy as the previous one... difficult 1st trimester, then the shock of CPC and kidney dilation (thanks god it is getter better), then the serious vomit, and finally the broken vessels in left eye... and actually I felt down three time in the past half year, once at the staircases at home, then in MTR station, and on last Saturday, in a shopping mall.
I think I am lucky that all these 'incidents' won't cause any big hurt to me and my baby actually.
Wish me good luck.

Lack of Maternity Beds at Crisis Point (from SCMP)
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!!!!!
