Note:  I started drafting the following entry on Friday, March 9th.  I didn't post it right away because I was allowing myself another day or two to collect more thoughts about the pregnancy.  Little did I know at the time that another day or two later ETF would already be born and I would have no time to post the entry before my pregnancy was over.  Here is the blog entry as it was drafted on Friday March 9, 2012 (two days before ETF was born) and now posted on Thursday, April 5, 2012 (25 days after ETF was born).


Random Thoughts About This Pregnancy (written Friday, March 9, 2012)


1. More queasiness in the first trimester as compared to last pregnancy.  Last pregnancy was pretty much symptom-free.  This time around I was constantly tired during the first few months.  I also felt dizzy.  In fact, now I  sometimes get reminded of those feelings of dizziness if I do something I had done in the first trimester.  For example, during my first trimester Chloe watched a lot of "Wonder Pets" on Netflix.  Then she stopped watching this show for a while.  Recently she asked to watch it again.  I sat with her to watch it and interestingly I had a deja vu  feeling of the dizziness again.  No, it's not the show that gets me dizzy, it's the reminder of my first trimester.


2. Both Randy and I have not been able to enjoy this pregnancy as much as last time and the reason is Chloe.  She is taking our attention away with her needs.  This is vastly unlike last time when we had no kid to attend to and we were 100% focused on the pregnancy.  This time I wonder if we are even 50% focused.  For me, maybe.  But for Randy, probably much less since he's taking on caring for Chloe more.


3. Since it's sort of a been-there-done-that experience, the experience this time is definitely less novel or unique. Not only to us, but for people around us as well.  I guess that's the unfairness associated with being #2.  Sorry ETF.


4.  At around the same time I got pregnant, my company announced it was going into bankruptcy reorganization.  After months of speculation of what is going to happen, now the company is in the process of transferring ownership to our three primary creditors.  Rumors also have it that the new owners are simultaneously in the process of selling our flagship station in the SF market to another company.  My job duties span across 3 stations in SF - the flagship station rumored to be being sold and two smaller ethnic stations for which I take on a main role in their operations.  It's not over-exaggerating to say the reason these two other stations function so smoothly is because of me.  But...as they say in business, nothing/no one is irreplaceable.  With the new owners taking charge, no one in the company is safe from being replaced or all out eliminated.


The dark cloud of possibly losing my job has been hanging over me since the beginning of this pregnancy.  As optimistic as I am, I am also realistic. With two mouths to feed plus a mortgage to pay, Randy and I cannot afford losing one income.  I started to look for a new job back in September (still within my first trimester) to hedge against being laid off.  I had a good interview with one company who seemed very interested in me.  But for whatever reason they dragged their feet in the hiring process and didn't reach out to me again until late December.  They were ready to offer me the job with the caveat of needing me to travel for training in late January, which would have been well into my third trimester.  Not sure whether or not I should travel in my third trimester plus the uncertainty of insurance benefits with a new company (whether or not paid maternity kicks in right away) plus having to take a lot of time off for doctor visits during the probation period as a new hire, etc etc all pointed to changing jobs in my third trimester as NOT being a good idea.  So this company and I came to a mutual agreement that we will delay the prospect of me joining their team until I am done with my maternity leave.  We agreed to reconvene when I'm ready and see where things are for both parties. So...due to no fault of ETF's....it's just all a big "bad timing", I couldn't seize the opportunity for a new job even though I was proactive in looking for one.


When news of the bankruptcy first broke, I wasn't sure how quickly I will lose my job and subsequently my insurance coverage.  Will this drag on long enough for me to go into the delivery room with my current insurance?  If I have to jump over to Randy's insurance, will we have enough time to get the change processed?  Will I have to change doctor and hospital affiliation because Randy is on a totally different network?  All those were my concerns earlier in my pregnancy and the company's bankruptcy proceedings.  Now that we are already in the calendar month of ETF's arrival, I can rest easier knowing that I can go into the delivery room with insurance coverage with my own doctor at our chosen hospital.  This is one big financial relief.  However, as I prepare to go on maternity leave, the idea of possibly not having a job to return to still lingers.  All these worked together in the last many months to darken the mood of happily awaiting the arrival of a new baby.


Post Note: Last week my work formally informed me that I will be retained at my job after the bankruptcy proceedings are over.  Even though our flagship station will be sold, I am needed to run the remaining two ethnic stations.  I will be retained at my current salary and benefits.  The dark cloud of possibly losing my job has finally passed and I lived to say I have weathered the storm.

ETF

In less than 2 weeks, the newest addition to our family will be joining us.  While his official due date is 3/30/12 (Daddy's birthday), we have a planned C-section scheduled for 3/23/12.  Today, at 37 weeks gestation, he is already head down and in position to come out.  With my achy body and inability to sleep comfortably, I'm ready for him to come out at any time.  I feel like I've been pregnant forever and wouldn't mind just getting it over with sooner rather than later.  He has also been kicking a lot lately.  At times I feel like he will puncture my water sack with his constant kicking.  That's what happened with Chloe when she came 10 days early.  Who's to say little brother will not follow suit.

However, there are downsides to having him early.  They are:

1. I'm still slated to work one more week.  So I have had no rest yet.

2. Having him out means having an alarm clock that sounds every 2-3 hours.  But this is bound to happen anyway, whether it starts now or 2 weeks from now.  This could very well fall under the "get it done sooner rather than later" category.

3. If he comes unexpectedly, he may not be delivered by my doctor, Dr. Stephanie Chun.  We were very fortunately to have Dr. Chun perform Chloe's C-section 2 years ago.  She happened to be on duty the time my delivery had to take place.  (After 18 hours of labor, the shift had actually just changed from Dr. Shu to Dr. Chun.)  Dr. Chun did an extraordinary job.  My incision point was clean.  I had had no infections or side effects from the surgery.  I healed quickly and nicely from her great handy work.  She also has a very soothing and warm demeanor that makes her patients feel comfortable. Plus, she was nice enough to let us schedule ETF's C-section on her birthday, a day she originally planned to have off. (We chose 3/23 because that is the earliest date allowed by either insurance or the medical board based on the official due date.)

Since Dr. Chun has been my primary OB, I'm less familiar/comfortable with the other 3 others on her team.  I know for a fact that one of them, Dr. Hu, is brand new.  She joined the practice just this year.  Her experience definitely lacks behind that of Dr. Chun's, who's been in this practice for many years.  On the opposite end of that spectrum is Dr. Shu, she's been in the practice even longer than Dr. Chun, thus making her the most experienced doctor on the team.  However, she has a drill sergeant-like demeanor that is hated by many, including all the nurses in the hospital and myself.  She speaks with a condescending tone and makes people around her feel inferior.  Whenever I asked her questions, she often answered in a way that made me feel like those were stupid questions to ask.  The last doctor, Dr. Chu, falls somewhere in between Dr. Chun and Dr. Shu both in terms of her years of experience and her personality.  If ETF does indeed come early, we will have to take whichever doctor happens to be on duty.

Point #3 is probably the biggest downside to ETF coming early. #1 and #2 are things we can deal with.  #3 relates to the quality of care we will receive so it's of greater significance.  But hey, #3 may end up being a non-factor if we are lucky enough to end up with Dr. Chun again.  The chance of that is 1 in 4.  We hit that 25% jackpot last time with Chloe's delivery.  Let's see what our luck is like this time around.

A Beautiful Story

Mom reunites with biological child 77 years later (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2012/01/02/national/a121653S70.DTL)
I read this heartwarming story over breakfast this morning.  It put a smile on my face.  It's rare to find happy stories on the news.  When I do find one, I can't help but to share it with others.

Enjoy.

1st Day of Preschool

Today was Chloe's first day of preschool.  She woke up in a good mood and was ready to tackle her new journey.  She did so well that if you didn't know it was her first day, you would've thought she's been there a long time.  She was like a preschool pro.

Immediately after we arrived, she dove right into playing.  She completely made herself at home.  She explored all the different rooms and checked out the different books and toys.  She didn't need to warm up at all.  At one point as I was talking to the school director, I noticed she waved hello to a parent as she dropped off her child.  Then she waved goodbye to that same parent as she left.  There was no stranger anxiety at all.

About 45 minutes later, the director (who is also one of the teachers at the school) announced that it was story time.  She started walking over to another room as the children followed.  Randy and I stayed behind the crowd to observe Chloe's reaction.  We were proud to see that Chloe followed the group without prompting or needing directions.  She just followed the herd and sat down in the circle along with everyone else.  She remained seated and quietly listened to the story.

We took the opportunity of her being engrossed in story time to quietly sneak out.  She had no idea we left.  I went on with my day wondering whether she cried when she realized we had left; whether she ate her meals; whether she drank her milk; whether she napped; whether she wet her pants; whether she paid attention in class; etc etc.

While Randy and I were on our way to pick her up after school, we made a bet on whether she cried this morning when she realized we were gone and whether she will cry later when she sees us again.  My money was on her crying on both occasions.  Well, I lost all my money.  The girl didn't cry one weep all day long!  When she saw us walk through the door, she happily greeted us with a joyful "Mommy! Daddy!"  and then she proudly showed us the lego pieces she was playing with.  The teacher gave us a quick run down of her day and it was all positive.

1. She did look for us once after story time, but she was quickly distracted by something and forgot she was looking for us.
2. She drank all her milk.
3. She ate most of her food.  The only thing she didn't really eat was the carrots.
4. She didn't have any potty accidents.
5. It took her a little time to settle down to nap.  She kept wanting to get up and play (which is what we expected).  But she eventually did fall asleep.
6. She got along with everyone.

Overall, Chloe adapted to preschool really well on her first day.  I credit this to two factors:

1. She has an easy going and outgoing personality.  The fact that she is not shy or afraid of strangers makes for an easier time to adapt to a new environment.
2. She has had experience with group settings because her babysitter had taken her to her son's preschool for drop-in play once in a while.  Those drop-in play sessions consist of free play, group story and singing times, and snack times.  Therefore in a way, Chloe had been exposed to preschool-like settings in the past.  The only difference is this time she was all alone without her babysitter nor us in sight.

All in all, Chloe had a really good first day of school.  We could tell she had a lot fun along the way because her excitement carried on well into the evening.  The little chatter box kept talking and laughing, talking and laughing all the way home from school, throughout bath time, throughout dinner time, and on and on until she finally fell asleep at 10pm.  We could not turn off her enthusiasm.  We didn't want to turn off her enthusiasm.  If only we could bottle it all up and save it forever.  

Chloe's 24-Month Checkup Stats

Height: 33.25 in (30%)
Weight: 24lb 12 oz (30%)
Head Circumference: 48.8 cm (90%)

Chloe had her 24-month wellness check on Friday 12/2/11.  In the 6 months since her last checkup, she grew 2.25 inches and 3 pounds.  That's a mighty good growth spurt if you ask me!  In fact, if you look at where she stands as compared to other children in her age group, whereas at 18 months she was in the 28th percentile in height and 13th percentile in weight, she is now in the 30th percentile in both categories.  That's right, she went up in both. Way to go Chloe!

Chloe's Second Family

Yesterday, Friday 12/2/11, was Chloe's last day with her beloved babysitter, Auntie Felicia.  姨姨, as she calls her, has been like her second mother ever since she was 2 months old.  Over the course of 22 months, Chloe has built a strong relationship with 姨姨.  Every morning she looked forward to going to 姨姨's house.  When it was time to go home at the end of the day, sometimes she didn't even want to go home with me.  That's how highly she thinks of her 姨姨.

As we prepared her for preschool over the last couple of months, I was also dreading the arrival of Chloe's last day with Felicia. I felt sad for Chloe to have to leave someone she loves so dearly.  I myself felt sad that we had to leave behind such a good caregiver for our daughter.  Felicia had been a god-send for us and we counted our blessings everyday that our daughter was in good hands.  On top of that, I wasn't sure if Chloe understood that a long farewell was approaching.  To be honest, I didn't think she understood.  But just in case she is smarter than I thought, I've hyped up the fun of going to school and meeting new friends.  Hopefully that would soften the impact of leaving 姨姨.  I also refrained from telling her that going to school means she could no longer go to 姨姨's everyday.  I didn't want any bad connotation attached to the idea of school. 

Finally this past week, I couldn't refrain myself anymore.  I finally said to her, "Chloe, this is your last week with 姨姨.  Next week you are going to school. Ok?"  I think I said that to her twice this week and each time she replied differently.  One time she just curiously asked "Gool?".  The other time she actually said "No gool.  Go 姨姨".  So...did she realize what was about to happen?

Finally on Friday morning, the bittersweet end was here.  In the morning, I told her, "Chloe, today is your last day with 姨姨.  You have fun with 姨姨 ok?"  Chloe replied, "Ok Mommy. Have fun Mommy."  Her reply made me think she didn't know what was going on.

Randy went with me to pick up Chloe from Felicia's this last time.  I needed Randy to go with me because I knew I was going to cry.  Yes, I'm weak and sentimental that way.  Sure enough, tears did roll out of my eyes even though I fought really hard to keep them in.  Felicia was teary-eyed as well.  Both of us remained calm and composed, however.  We didn't want to alarm the kids.  The kids, including Chloe, Keith and Max, showed no signs of sadness.  It was a regular pickup session in their eyes.  In fact, Felicia told us that when she told the boys Chloe will not be coming over next week, the boys thought Chloe is about to go on vacation.  When Felicia told them it was because Chloe will be going to school next week, Max excitedly asked, "Is she going to my school?"  This proves that all three of them are still too young to understand what farewell means.  Which is probably a good thing.

Before we left, we took this picture of Chloe and her second family.  You can see how happy they are together.

Even though this was a last farewell as caregiver and care receiver, this was not a last farewell altogether.  We are making a point to visit often.  We do not want Chloe to forget 姨姨 and all the things she's done for her.  At the tender age of 2, I know Chloe will probably forget a lot.  But we promise to do the best we can to prevent her from forgetting too much.  We have to have frequent get-togethers and play-dates to preserve this close-knit relationship.  

Happy 2nd Birthday Chloe!

Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet little Chloe.  Two years ago she came into our lives and since then she has been bringing us joy and love ever since.  Here's to many more years to come.


Below is my photo project to forever capture her sweet look on each birthday as compared to previous years.

What A Difference

The final results for my prenatal screening test to screen for birth defects such as down syndrome, trisectomy 18, etc came this week.  And what a big difference it is this time as compared to the results we got when we did the same screening test two years ago when I was pregnant with Chloe.

The result we got with Chloe was a "screen positive" with a risk assessment of 1 in 130.  That meant Chloe had a 1 out of 130 chance of having a form of birth defect such as down syndrome.  That was compared to a "normal" assessment of 1 in 384 for a woman giving birth at 34.  That shook us out of our seats.  We saw it as our chance of having a baby with a birth defect having grown 3 times the normal.  We were so disturbed by the result that we ended up opting to take a somewhat evasive procedure called a CVS to find out the exact chromosomal makeup of the baby to make sure whether or not she did or did not have a birth defect.  Fortunately, praise the Lord, Buddha, Allah, or whoever is watching over us from above, Chloe's chromosomal makeup came out perfectly normal.  All 46 chromosomes are there.  No more.  No less. We don't know what we would've done if we were to find out she did have "a problem".  We felt, and to this day still feel, very fortunate that we didn't have to ponder such a situation.

Fast forward 2 years later, the result for this pregnancy is a "screen negative" with a risk assessment of 1 in 40,000.  That's right, 1 in 40,000!  The "normal" for a woman my age is 1 in 200.  What a relief it was when we saw the result.  No more early scare in this pregnancy like we had with Chloe.  This is not to say we are completely out of the woods and the baby is guaranteed healthy and normal.  But because our risk assessment in so low, we do not have to undergo the evasive CVS procedure.  But then again, because we are not doing the CVS, we do not know definitively that the baby is normal.  1 in 40,000 is still a chance.  It's just a chance that is small enough to let us temporarily breathe a sigh of relief and not worry about this until the baby is born.  Please I pray to the Lord, Buddha, Allah, or whoever is watching over us from above, please let our baby be healthy and normal.

Useless

I feel very useless today.  A muscle spasm right under my shoulder blade is making it hard for me to drive.  My field of vision is very narrow because I can't turn my head too much and my general movement is slower due to limited use of my muscles.  I don't want to take a chance of getting into an accident, especially with Chloe in the car. On top of that, lifting Chloe in and out of the car is not easy either.  I also don't want to make things worse before I can get some medical help.  As a result, Randy had to drive Chloe and me to the babysitter's/work today.  On top of his busy schedule, he has to carve more time out to be our chauffeur. I've already been of less help at home due to the pregnancy.  He's giving baths to Chloe more often because it's harder for me to lift and squat.  I'm tired often.  And now this.

I need to get this muscle spasm fixed before he heads to the Philippines for business in a few days.  This is not a good time for unexpected situations at all.  *UGH....*


UPDATE (10/21/11):
I went to the chiropractor yesterday.  He was able to reset one side of my neck.  The other side had a nerve that was so swollen that he couldn't reset it.  He told me to ice it every hour to get the swelling to go down and call him today.  The icing worked.  I'm a lot looser today.  There's still a little knot and stiffness but at least I regained a lot of movement and am flexible enough to drive again.  I think everything should be back to normal in a couple of days.

Thank you JMT for offering to help.  I should be fine now.

Bottle Weaning

Ever since her 15-month check up, Chloe's pediatrician has been pressuring encouraging us to wean her off the bottle.  We tried and we tried.  But every time she tastes milk coming out of a sippy cup/straw cup/regular cup, she would spit it out as if it was the most disgusting thing she ever tasted.  For stubborn little Chloe, water and juice can come out of cups, but milk must come out of a bottle.  No negotiations.

This past Saturday, she finally came around.  Before I gave her her first milk that morning, I asked her, "Do you want milk?"  She answered, "Yeah".  I then asked her "Would you like milk in a cup?"  She answered "Yeah".  I clarified with her that I was going to give her milk in a cup and she said "Ok".

I quickly seized the opportunity and served her milk in the straw cup that she regularly drinks water with.  To my surprise, she finished all the milk that was in it.  I had served her milk in this very cup before in the past and she had rejected it wholeheartedly.  I have no idea why she suddenly accepted it this time.  Was it the power of words?  Did she accept it because I had asked her permission first?  She does understand a lot more language now versus at 15 months or even at 18 months.

Whatever it is, I'm really glad we are finally successful in weaning her off the bottle.  Her 24-month check up is coming up in about 6 weeks.  This time we can proudly tell the pediatrician that she is no longer on the bottle.

Preschool - Registered

Back in May when we toured a few preschool prospects for Chloe, our top choice asked us to call back one month prior to Chloe turning two to inquire whether or not they have space for her.  Chloe is turning two in a little more than one month.  I called the preschool last Friday to inquire about their availability and hoped to officially register her for school.  The preschool director told us they only had one opening left and there are a few families interested. In order to snatch up that last space, we needed to go in first thing on Monday morning to fill out a contract and pay our deposit.  We did exactly that and now I'm proud to say Chloe is officially registered for preschool!  Her first day will be Monday, December 5th.  I better get my tissues ready for her first day of school!

Potty Training - Days 3-7

Today completed Chloe's 1st week of potty training.  In summary, she did way better than what one would expect from a 21-month-old on her 1st week of potty training.  She ended the week with an accident-free day.  That's impressive.

Overall throughout the week, she went some (as in successful trips to the potty) and she wet some (as in clothes and training pants).  The highlights worth mentioning were:

(1) Every morning from Day 3 to 7, she successfully went to the bathroom first thing after she woke up.  Two of the mornings she actually woke up with a completely dry diaper.

(2) Day 5 (Saturday) was the first day since potty training started that we were out and about for most of the day.  To keep the training consistent, we took her portable potty with us so she can go somewhat privately in the trunk of our car.  We also put her in training pants for the first time to prevent messy accidents in public.  She wasn't successful in going in the portable potty at all.  We can't blame her.  "Performing in public" is very difficult after all.  We will keep trying for sure.

(3) Day 7 (today) was a huge success.  She had absolutely no accidents all day long.  No even once.  She was in the same outfit when I picked her up after work as she was when I dropped her off in the morning.  I couldn't believe my eyes. But the babysitter confirmed - she was accident-free all day.  That includes the #1 and #2.  Her success continued even after we got home and then went out briefly to grab a quick bite.  This was the kind of day one would expect after more than a month of training.  But it happened after just one week.

With all the progress she's shown in just one week, her potty training is by no means complete.  She still has a long way to go.  From here we continue to expect days/times of progress and days/times of set back.  To expect accident-free days everyday is just setting her up for failure and setting us up for disappointment.  Not to mention it's just not realistic.  Overall I am already very proud of my little baby.

Potty Training - Day 2

I AM SO PROUD OF CHLOE!!!  Whereas yesterday she didn't pee or poo in the toilet even once on her first day of potty training, today, on just the second day, she peed 7 times and pooed 1 time in the toilet.  That is HUGE improvement.

When she was at the babysitter's during the day, she was taken to the toilet every 15 minutes.  Throughout the day she probably repeated the routine 20-30 times.  Of these 20-30 times, she successfully pee peed 5 times and poo pooed 1 time.  Whereas yesterday she wet her clothes 3-4 times, today she only wet her clothes once.  Talk about a fast learner!

Then at night after we brought her home, of the 4 times we took her to the toilet, she pee peed 2 times.  Both times she asked me before doing the deed, "more water?" I said, "yes more water."  That seemed to have been her cue because both times, she peed after that little dialogue.  So whether it's "pee pee" or "water", she now knows the concept of sitting on the toilet means letting it flow.  LOL.

Potting Training - Day 1

Today, Tuesday September 6, 2011, was a big day for Chloe.  No it wasn't the first day of school.  It was the first day of potty training!  At 21-months, I'm not sure if it is too early to start, but the babysitter seems to think she is ready.  We know it will take a long time for her to master this new skill so we are going in with a lot of patience.

To prepare for this big adventure, we bought Chloe a lot of underwear to wear during the day in lieu of diapers.  I also packed a lot of extra clothing for the babysitter knowing she will wet quite a few each day.    As expected, there wasn't much "action" on the potty this very first day. In fact, there was no action at all. Every 15 minutes she was put on the toilet for 2 minutes to try to go.  Nothing happened.  On the contrary, at least on a couple of occasions, the second she exited the bathroom and went back to play, she "let the water flow" and wet her pants and her surroundings and called out "water".  This was all expected.  We also know not to discourage her by reprimanding her for her mistakes.  Positive encouragement is the way to go, literally.

Even though she was not successful on the toilet today, I still think there was at least one tangible progress - she now knows potty time equals going to the bathroom and pulling down her pants. That's one big step forward.

Extra Sweet Lemonade

Yesterday Chloe loaned Daddy her toy food basket and together they went to pick lemons from our lemon tree.  We made lemonade from Chloe's loot of lemons and it was extra sweet.

Random Things That Chloe Says

Last night Chloe said two things that made me laugh.

(1) When it's time to eat dinner, we usually tell her "It's dinner time" or  "食饭饭".  Last night, when Randy called out from the kitchen that dinner was ready, Chloe excitedly ran to her high chair and said "Eat time!".  I have no idea where she got that from.  We may occasionally say "time to eat", but never "eat time".

(2) When I brush her teeth, I usually say "擦牙牙".  Last night, she pointed at the medicine cabinet and asked me to open the "door".  After I opened the cabinet, she pointed at her tooth brush and said "There's To-Yee 牙牙".  (Note: She's pronounces her name "To-Yee".)

Oh...the funny little things she says...
