totally i use less than a week from scratch, each day around 2 hrs...including thinking what to do next.
my lit Pocoyo costume pattern....forgot to take picture before I sewed the pants...my very simple Pocoyo suit pattern (I just took his shirt and reversed it and traced down. that is it! Pants is a bit tricky since the front panel will be different from back panel. )

20100322~ hiring a nanny (SF bay area)
Dear,
Going back to work??!! I bet you are gonna miss little one all the time and cannot move your eyes from his/her photo on your destop screen....:">
We did put ads on chinese newspaper(TsingDao) because we preferred nanny speaks mandarin or cantonese. You can decide your preference for live-in or commute nanny.
Commute Nanny -----
Schedule: If you are not an early bird, you may also want to count in your preparing time before heading to work. My nanny comes over 8:30am-6:30pm (mine is generous on this .^_^.).
Price: approx $1400~1600 a month or $70~80 a day. Also depends demand-supply in the area.
(one friend's young educated nanny charges them $20/hr at SF city. :P)
Function: simply cooking for dinner, simply housework, laundry, shower for bb. ( up to you.)
Live-in Nanny -----
Schedule: Some asks for resting schedule, like no work during weekend or after 8:30pm or etc....you can set up your expectation too.
Price: Approx $1600~1850+ a month. depends on working hours and not necessary to be a lot more expensive since you offer lodge, food, laudry....
Function: simply cooking for dinner, simply housework, laundry, shower for bb. ( up to you.)
Note1 -Capability:
Remember your purpose is to have a nanny whose focus is on baby, not as a teacher, or as ahousekeeper. ..so our selection is more on how we feel about nanny's personality and if bb is happy with her.
(one of my friends does concern if her bathroom is cleaned up or not lol.:D)
Note2 -Satbility:
You may want to take into consideration candidate's stability. After 5 month, BB is able to recogonize his main care provider, and you will want to avoid change nanny frequently. Some people may leave for higher pay jobs easily.
(dom's co-worker had bad experience on their first nanny, who left 2 weeks later without notice and took one LV bag. )
Note3 -Payment:
Set or ask candidate's expectation on payment. cash, check or..? every 2 wks, twice a month or once a month...**Price reference is SF bay area. Higher price and more rules for licensed/taxed nanny.
Note4 -Food:
Nanny's lunch. Our nanny bring her own, so I don't have to worry what she cannot or wants eat....but she is welcome to eat or cook anything from our ref if she wants of course.
Note5 - Misc:
My cousin only ask their nanny to prepare food ready for them to cook and prefer to take shower for bb themselve.
Note6 -Worth Value?:
This is how we count the value for parents like us to comfort ourselves why spend more money, FYI~~
-Decent daycare (family style) $800~900/month
-Pick-up/ send out $5/day (save time+gas) ; $150/month
-BB bath shower $5/day $150/month
-Laundry for $25/week (familyx2+BBx2) $100/month
-Less BB sickness due to other kids (also, no need to rush to pick up bb or take day off when bb is sick) :D
Cons is
-Less group interaction, so our plan is to let Kendrick go group or school after he is 2.5 or 3 yr-old.
Enjoy and hope it helps my dear freinds.

2010309~32w~fetal fibronectin??
今天由DR. Babara 看診
to take some swap sample to check one kind of Protein as pre-term index. The higher the index, the higher risk to have pre-term birth. Then, mommy should do bed resting.
英文名稱： fetal fibronectin
中文名稱： 胎兒纖維結合素
名詞解釋： 纖維結合素幫助胎盤和羊膜緊緊附著於子宮壁。如果子宮裡胎兒纖維結合素的數值升高，可能表示胎盤和羊膜正在鬆脫。許多產科醫師現在使用纖維結合素的檢測來輔助預測早產。
Fetal fibronectin is a “glue-like” protein that holds the developing baby in the womb. (胎兒纖維結合素是一種黏膠樣的蛋白質將胎兒穩地安置在子宮內)

20100217~ Good Samaritan SJ v.s. Los Gatos Hospital v.s. O'conner Hospital
2010/02/11 Good Samaritan San Jose's maternity tour
2010/02/17 El Camino Hospital Los Gatos family tour
.....
.....
I gave birth of KK in 2008 Mar. at Los Gatos Hospital, former El Camino Hospital Los Gatos.
I was at O'conner hospital with my sis for her C-section birth in 2003 and with my friend Kek for her labor birth in 2007 Dec.
.....
Hospital service:
- My hubby and I love people and service at "Los Gatos Hospital." We still remember the leader Sandi Miller. She is the best out of the best. They made the place warm and made us feel helped.
The tour lady at "Good Sam" looks so exhausted without a smile for our first impression of Good Sam.
Hospital size:
"Los Gatos Hospital" is a relatively smaller community hospital compared to Good Samaritan or O'conner Hospital at SF South Bay Area. When hospital is smaller, the less disturbing environment during your post-birth rest. (good!) My sister reminds me when each room has two companies, the hallway is simply filled up 40+ people including guests and nurses and etc...in a big one.
Hospital Space:
"Good Sam" is much newer building since "Los Gatos hospital" was there serving community over 40 yrs...Lately, Los Gatos Hospital is doing its rennovation. Since their schedule can not be rushed but my baby girl will due in early May of 2010...so we won't be able to enjoy new room or furniture as hospital planned. (bumper.)
Hospital Equipment:
"Good Sam" is well known for its advanced newborn 3rd level intensive care and is the only one capable around the area. If KK was born before my 34-wks preganacy, Dr. would send me to Good Samaritan Hospital for a better necessary baby care. Los Gatos Hospital equipped up to 2nd level only. Luckly, KK didn't rush out 2 years ago. Thank god bless us!
Hospital Labor Room & Post-resting:
My experience in Los Gatos Hospital labor room is not really long since I was scheduled C-section.
Both labor room in Los Gatos Hospital and Good Samaritan are similar as individual studio room.
O'conner's labor room is much bigger if you wanna fit in more friends or family members, but their post-rest room is kind of crowded. Also, they may arrange two in a resting room if single space were all taken.
...................
My hubby and I still prefer to have our baby girl having her first hug at "Los Gatos Hospital" after our visiting. Hope we have all same happy service memories as before.
p.s. (2010/03/17 KK's 2 yr-old body check), Dr. Pearlman said Los Gatos Hospital is not the same atmosphere as it was before...more rules under big hospital network....hope people still are warm heart there...

20100214~Giant 2 hearts togather...+ little Romeo
Once again for my creative Valentine's day. Yup, a.k.s. "See-fa-han~" in Catonese from my hubby's interpretation. Since my honey "lost 3 Hermes Birkins Croc" lately, I have to swtich to a budget Valentine plan B.
Anyway, see my work this year! Simple & Easy.
Giant Valentine Heart Wall Deco
Cost: USD$2(2sets)+ endless love
Preparation:
- Tissue Paper in red and hot pink
- Secissor
- Tapes
Let's get start.
1. Buy 2 pack of tissue paper, each contains 4 pcs ( 24inx26in)
2. Clip paper together to save time
3. Cut a mild curve as top heart, cut a pie-like shape as bottom heart.
4. Tapes 4 pieces together then you get ONE big heart.
tip1: if paper have top/back sides, need to make them reverse facing each other.
tip2:if you have better budget, buy heavier paper instead. Tissue paper is easier broken.
tip3: I tried to tape each 1/4 heart pieces on the wall first. It is easier to controll location, but it will see the tapes. So, I suggest to tape the back side together into a big heart shape before you tape on the Wall.
tip4: Don't waste some left over papers, same, put them together and cut some small hearts to decorate around.
tip5: if you using double side tape, be careful you may not easy to take "tape" off later.
p.s. my 23-month baby boy woke up while I am decorating...so he "insisted" joined my work to stick some little heart onto the wall....murrraarrrr....thanks to my little remeo!

20100209~28w, 3rd trimaster begins....
今天小K跟我一起去看產檢
一開始他以為是他去看醫生 說什麼也不要進後診室
後來教導他一番 居然就乖乖聽話
他坐椅子 媽咪坐檢查台 醫生坐檢查凳
眼咕嚕咕嚕靜靜地盯著看我跟醫生討論
I listed out certain critical items in order to discuss with Dr. Kilkenny
(a). HOSPITAL: Good Samaritan Hospital San Jose or El Camino Hospital Los Gatos ( previous as Los Gatos Hospital, Kendrick was born there)
(b). Birth : I prefer still go C-section this time since I already had one wound from last birth. So, I will schedule a time in advance. :) big relief~~~
(c). Insurance: I may have new insurance kick-in...big headache contributed by company.

昨天半夜就睡不著
早早起床梳洗
到機場接我的小王子回家了
雖然幾乎天天看著他玩耍
但這樣的分離焦慮
我跟胖胖爸可能比小kk還嚴重
回到家 小kk好多事都不記得了
以前電視玩具都是熟透透
現在樣樣對他都算新奇
說什麼新開始讓他自己睡小床
沒兩分鐘
兩個大人就爭著緊緊在我們床上摟著他了.....
看來我跟胖胖爸打的如意算盤 早就自我瓦解囉!

回到家 小kk好多事都不記得了
以前電視玩具都是熟透透
現在樣樣對他都算新奇
說什麼新開始讓他自己睡小床
沒兩分鐘
兩個大人就爭著緊緊在我們床上摟著他了.....
看來我跟胖胖爸打的如意算盤 早就自我瓦解囉!

20100129~懶懶小貓咪?
好友的楊波妞已經轉了頭位 真早 可能像醫生說的還會轉來轉去
我們家米妹跟小Ｋ哥哥一樣擠在左邊子宮（他們兩個都是在左邊子宮腔著床）
我的肚子多數時間 超明顯硬鼓一邊
難為她空間小 不知轉不轉得了 也許像小K一樣會是臀位…..
一早臨時約了去看醫生
主要是我家妹妹突然兩天沒啥動靜
連胖胖爸幫我擠壓肚子 她也不理 嚇了一下跳
所以想去看一下好 聽到心跳正常 應該沒事
倒是我的血糖報告出來說缺鐵 要我吃補充劑
醫生開的Slow Fe iron supplement 好貴喔

20100114~孕媽媽假性宮縮 不要怕
進入懷孕六個月 看到我以前POST的一篇回應 決定回貼在自己網站 提醒自己
****************孕媽媽未到預產期有些Contraction 是假性宮縮(英文醫學名是 BROXTON HICKS CONTRACTION) (英文俗名是 false contraction)
你也可以查 how to distinguish real and false contraction.我朋友有提醒我 也問過醫生 所以有心裡預期 就較不怕
但前兩個禮拜那次(那時我27W) 持續4個小時 左邊肚子又硬又超鼓
整個肚皮就像有人拉緊皮膚 確實也嚇了我一跳
尤其BB因為受到擠壓不舒服 就一直踢踢踢 嚴重抗議!抗議!
基本上 需要注意並立刻就醫的有三
-有無出血
-有無羊水破
-有無強烈並規律宮縮 (頻率小於10分鐘一次就算頻繁了 我的醫生說 連說話呼吸都困難囉)
false contraction
- 較不持續 不規律
- 強度沒有規則性增加
- 是可能長到3~4小時
- 有時 DEHYDRATE 也會 喝點水 休息一下
- 一定要CLAM DOWN (我把老公叫到我身邊陪我躺著 還叫他撫撫BB 給他心戰喊話 呵呵)
- 如果真的不安心 還是可以打給醫生喔
希望孕媽媽們平安

20100113~snoopy on kidkraft nantucket bed
Kendrick's new bed built! Kidkraft nantucket toddler cot 86621
How is it? see our thoughts...for its review...
Pros -
1. First of all, shipping is super fast. Placed order 01/05 and got it 01/08.
2. Great price on Allchildrensfurniture.com
3. This bed is way cute, we truly love it. (for our son and plan to get one later for coming bb girl to match with it.)
4. Assembly is not too hard with illustration. (took my hubby 20~30min using power strew driver.)
5. The support system design is not bad according to my hubby- a cross beneath instead of stripe style.
6. The quality is not bad. (on the paper says it is handcrafted, handpainted...)
7. Able to use standard crib matress, which is easy to get one - buy or borrow.
8. Good height for my toddler to come in-n-out.
Cons-
1. shipping package is not very well protected. a very very very mild squeeze on edge of 1 of 4 supporting boards.
2. still a little not very matching holes for assembly (quote fm my dear hubby.)
3. *****Daddy Mommy cannot lie on this bed with their kids for sure..., especially when I see my lovely CHUPPY hubby compare to the bed its size...
p.s.: no weired paint smell as some ppl experience before. thanks for the improvement.
Folks took great pix of addorable kids on this lovely bed so I think I would like to share some photos of its supporting system for you here :) enjoy.
Forgot to bring my camera, stay tune....will post photos soon...:P
here you go!
1. completed (no mattress yet)
2. Working hard daddy, need to give him some credit.
3. Cross supporting and 4 base boards
4. instruction

20100109~Perego P3 & Vela & Twin60/40
之前正要給小K找新戰車時
--------------------------
20100113 added~
終於有人熱心在Mobile01回答P3 2007跟2009款differences
Quote: ""外觀上看不出來,不過2007年款,躺平後長度比較短
大約差5公分左右 為了這5公分,我買了2009年款,""
看來可增加保護且可延長手推車使用期到4~5歲
跟老公商量看看要不要多花這一百美金 (目前特價 USD189 v.s USD280... :)http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=375&t=1380804&last=16971286
--------------------------
#謝謝YY媽媽的 PP3 跟Aria OH照片比較 非常清楚 很多細節都注意到
#還有參考大家的意見
http://memode.com/s/mm00270295.html
***********************
2010 Vela是 2009 Aria OH 的新改款 如果不執著非要紫色顏色 也是不錯的選擇
可惜美國新款式 vela 後來決定不出 Lavanda 了 ﹔(
因為除了去THEME PARK或動物園即使是在美國出入還是很不方便
發現懷孕了 現在證實是妹妹 當然想買兄妹倆都可以適用的顏色
嬰兒手推車選來選去 爸比跟我決定要買Perego P3, Why P3?
1. 問了好些朋友的意見 都說用過p3, 也都很喜歡
2. 小K到時候可以站立在後面(爸比只在乎這個)
3. 兄妹倆個都可以用的p3 2010新款薰衣草紫色 (是啦 是啦 我很愛紫色)
4. 輕便跟全保護的Balance型 回台灣香港都還方便
跟老公跑了SF Bay Area 好些店都沒看到
跟老公跑了SF Bay Area 好些店都沒看到現在好像只有網路上有賣
這兩天還是下不了手
還在猶豫要不要買另一款中意的2007的P3 Pure Vapor
便宜30%又白色置物盤白色支架手把很特別.....

#謝謝YY媽媽的 PP3 跟Aria OH照片比較 非常清楚 很多細節都注意到
(我跟爸比去試時很有同感)
#謝謝美樂蒂媽媽的建議 讓我跟胖胖爸注意到雙向推車的缺點
(ZOPPER有個大陸零售商網站也有提醒除了不好推 還有把BB暴露在較易受傷的環境) http://iammelody.pixnet.net/blog/post/23807348#還有參考大家的意見

2010 Vela是 2009 Aria OH 的新改款 如果不執著非要紫色顏色 也是不錯的選擇
可惜美國新款式 vela 後來決定不出 Lavanda 了 ﹔(
我是想如果要買2010新款當然要買我心儀的薰衣草紫
我在她們official 網站有問一些VELA的規格
整理一下官方回答 需要中文再告訴我
( 原文在 http://blog.pegperegousa.com/?p=397 )
The Vela is a tad bigger than the Aria. It’s dimensions are:
Vela size: 39″ ~ 36″ long/deep, and 23″ wide
Vela folded ~39″ tall, 12″ long/deep, and 23″ wide
Aria OH ~ 39″ tall, 33.5″ long/deep, and 19.5″ wide
Aria OH folded ~ 36″ tall, 13.5″ long/deep, and 19.5″ wide
The snack tray is completely removable.
The Vela will include the Freedom of Movement harness. Also, there will be clips on the back of this stroller that allow you to attach bags to it–meaning it shouldn’t tip over!
My Three questions for Vela is tri-stroller,
1.foot-step bar balance and strong enough for my 21-mths boy to step in-n-out or even stand on it?
==> The Vela has been tested to hold up to 45 pounds, so it should be fine for your 21-month old son to climb in and out, using the platform above the front wheel (depending, of course, on his weight).
2.what is size for front and back wheel? (I hope back is larger for balance.)
==> The wheels of the Vela are larger than the wheels of the Aria, making for enhanced steering and maneuverability. The front wheel is 6.5″ and the back wheels are 7.5″.
3.Vela is similar as 2009 Aria line, but Vela’s back wheels are single now instead of dual on Aria. Is it sturdy?
==> The bigger rear wheels help make it sturdy. Granted, strollers such as the Vela aren’t designed for grueling, daily use, but we think maneuverability and makeup of the new Vela will make it a favorite–mall, store and quick-trip stroller.
p.s 老公的意見:
我老公擔心正值愛幫手的小k不會推
到時候把三輪設計的vela翻倒了
妹妹在裡面就太危險囉
***********************
huh...有沒想過買 兩人坐手推車? 有 但否決了
因為除了去THEME PARK或動物園即使是在美國出入還是很不方便推過的朋友都說一天下來好像練臂力
加上出去就不能兩個小孩分開行動 (譬如爸比帶一個去上廁所 媽咪帶一個去排隊)
而且小K已經開始不愛被綁在手推車上
所以還是決定買Single Stroller 先給小K坐
妹妹剛出生則可以帶Car Seat Carrier
等妹妹大點小K也大點
小K可以換坐輕便型雨傘車
note: Twin 60/40是指CAR SEAT可以放60(大一點這邊) 大點的小孩反而擠在40(小一點這邊)

20100108~小K的新床到了
最近花很多時間在網路上給爸比跟小K找東西比價
妹妹加入我們家後 我們家成員算是定了
現在幫小K買東西 都會想以後妹妹怎麼配成套
小K的床今天到了
本來是想買TWIN size的 但是因為家裡空間尺寸的關係 決定選一Toddler Bed做Transition
看上三款 IKEA的Kritter, Mummit 還有KidKraft Nantucket Toddler Bed .
最後選了KidKraft Nantucket
1. size 跟Crib 一樣 可以用Crib的床組床墊 小K應該比較習慣吧
2. 很多網路review都說很喜歡 都有4.5~5 stars 不管給男生或女生用
3. 以後妹妹也可以買一樣的
4. 價錢很好 (USD99 no tax & no shipping charge; AllChildrensFurnitur.com 或 Albeebaby.com)
5. 從TX Kidkraft工廠直接送來 下單3天就到了 Super 快
IKEA Kritter 朋友家的小哥哥龍龍跟雍雍就是睡這個 床頭的兩個小動物圖案 也很別緻
IKEA Mummit 搶眼又可愛 但寬了點
而且IKEA 的Toddler bed 尺寸比較特別 還要另外配合買IKEA床墊
除了又是另一筆開銷 我覺得床墊有點~很薄
胖嘟嘟爸比 照例去Vegas參加CES2010大拜拜 得等他回來才能裝囉
20100108~坐月子重點 吃吃吃!
搜尋了一下 看來舊金山灣區 還是只有幾家月子餐比較有規模跟口碑
a. 益膳坊月子膳食(I SAN HOUSE) , 903 E. El Camino Real, Mountain View, (650-938-5888)
b. 廣和坐月子管理機構 (COWA-MOTHER-CARE) , 272 Barber Ct. Milpitas 95035 (408-931-3618)
c. 溫馨月子膳食坊, Wenhsincare, , 38912 Stillwater Common, Fremont.(408-204-4060)
前年生K時是訂益膳坊的餐 (早中晚餐加甜點)
有媽媽來幫我 一天五餐伺候
還有婆婆弄的港式月子料理-薑飯跟薑醋豬腳(很辛苦做的料理)
加上我老公已聲明他不幫我"銷存貨"
所以我只有訂隔天送 而不是每天送
我一個人根本吃不完不想浪費 又省錢
(那時候廣和說只有每天不可以隔天 所以直接放棄了)
益膳坊的服務還算不錯
我不喜歡多刺的魚 跟她們反應後 就幫我調整為魚片湯
還有因為生產手術傷口未完全癒合 餐點有特別註明少用麻油跟酒
我很幸福 有媽媽婆婆可以幫忙 很多朋友好奇為什麼還是要訂月子餐呢?
1. 媽媽說覺得月子餐很方便 她不想準備+煮+洗 所以叫我這次訂天天送月子餐點
2. 媽媽不用擔心要忙好幾種餐點 (月子餐給我, 成人餐給我媽跟我老公, Toddler餐給小K, ㄋㄟㄋㄟ餐給BB妹)
3. 這次媽媽答應要幫我吃 :)
4. 請月嫂還要帶他去買菜 鍋鍋盆盆一堆有點麻煩
5. 我超不能忍受多餐連續吃一味菜 但自己煮或月嫂煮不可能每餐煮變化樣式 採買也不易
明天會去廣和試試比較看看 再來分享
=> 只吃到一碗麻油雞(味道不重,還不錯,我喜歡清淡點的)
=> 只看到中央廚房"照片"
=> 試吃會上抽中貴貴廣和麻油一瓶 (value US$30. :)

之前就跟我媽警告過了 Kendrick babe, 我們家又好笑又好氣的香小乖/臭小壞
我媽直說男孩跟女孩真的不一樣 有累到
******************************************
today's msn messages from Kendrick's Grandma~~
阿嬤煮烏龍麵時阿乖把奶粉罐打開撒滿頭臉衣服桌子地板
晚餐後阿嬤去洗碗時阿乖又將茶葉包撕開屑屑撒滿地了
阿嬤擦地板時阿乖卻很高興跑來趴上當馬騎！
啼笑皆非
不知怎的老是嘻皮笑臉用舌頭口水要舔阿嬤的臉頰
最近很調皮
常要逗妳笑
你不笑他就自己在那笑不停
搗蛋完就撒嬌
超會撒嬌
這兩天比較會講話了
音響、卡拉ok都快被他按壞了
*************************************
看來我欠我媽的辛勞債是還不完的啦!
學我兒子撒一下嬌
""媽咪 I love you!""

20100105~ Happy Birthday, sister of HUANG!!
It is birthday of the prettiest sister of HUANG, Michele and Teresa! My sister and I were born 4 years apart.
******************
My hubby took me to SF little Italy for a lite dining to pre-celebrate my birthday....sitting outside on the street...very romantic.....nice nice...
4.5stars for Calzone on Columbus Ave. Food we ordered is tasty- crab crostini, scallop, pork filet. US50 buy a sweet n' easy evening....what a great deal.
Seated outside
with heater over the top. warm and breeze.
Bread
*free Bread is "chewy" and not warm. However, don't miss their sweet vinergar, which turns everything good.
Small plate
*Crab Crostini: smoked salmon & avocado drizzled with extrea virgin oiliv oil (don't miss it!)
*Scallop: scallop with wasabi pesto aioli (taste good but be aware of is tiny small 3 pieces only portion.)
Large plate
*Pork:Caloppini topped with eggplant & fontina swiss chard & zucchini mashed potatoes ( sources are all into eggplant, we both like the side mash potato.)
Drink
*Drink is consider relatively expensive in this bill, US3.75 for a coke.
