We'll be heading out to HK in Sep. C & I will be skipping school.Mummy & son pontang classes...haha...HB has his work mtg there & so we'll be going there 5 days before. He'll stay on another 4 days while C & I flies back on our own :p He's so looking forward to Disneyland!
 
sysac
yes yes Aden enjoyed it very much.

Wow how nice. I have not planned for next trip since it is H1N1. Am sure he will enjoy. Have fun
 
mashy ... the milk supply should regulate in the 2nd month ... if u keep maintaining the current pumping/feeding schedule, you'll feel the engorgement once u reduce. Situations like when u stopped night feeding or extend nursing intervals bcos you start to feed solid will too ...

Sysac, we just came back from HK! My boys love Disneyland a lot ... go enjoy! The weather should cool down then ... we had terribly hot weather that we were sweating buckets everyday there

CL & Ky,

Oh great! Thanks! Since we confirmed the trip & told him we were going to HK. He has been mentioning Ocean Park. Don't know how he got to know Ocean Park is in HK too! When I mentioned Disneyland, he would reply "Go see the Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, etc..."
 
Sysac ... Go and see the dolphin show in the earlier show in ocean park. When we were there, coz it's china's school hols, the 2.30 show was already full 20 mins beforehand, but luckily we went to the 11.30 show... really so super hot, so remember to bring a change of clothes in case u go to an aircon place after that n the kids catch a cold. oh, btw, the mickey mouse house in no more there ... but the disneyland parade is very nice n u do get wet (if u wish)!

Ky,

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I wld usually bring spare sets of clothes for C when we are out.
Wld like to ask you. With the kids in tow, did u take the airport express into the city or did you opt for the airport transfer to your hotel?
 
I took the airport express followed by the free bus shuttle. We bought the 3-days unlimited pass with 2 airport transfers - HK$300 w $50 refund. Airport express takes 21 mins ... I didn't wanna be caught in traffic jams too long so didn't explore other options via the roads :0>

Ky,

Ok...great! So will buy the 3 days unlimited pass with the airport transfers. Did you buy for your younger boy as well?
 
sysac

there's airport express passes that has discounts for groups of 2-4, so u may wanna get that if u are not going to travel often on the mtr for the next consecutive 3 days. The day that u take the airport express (day of arrival) is considered as day 1.
 
A few weeks back, i got my hb to send my boy to KK to check why he's so small size. Well, the results are out. He has a bone age of only 2yrs old and has a low growth hormone.

According to my hb who asked the dr (i couldn't go
sad.gif
), there's a 80-90% chance that he will eventually grow to 175-180cm but will be slower than the rest. He will start puberty much later than normal (like late sec/jc) meaning he will probably be teased & bullied by friends when he's younger. But there's still a chance that he may not grow to that stature. sigh. Going to review in 6mths time to see if he's growing within the range, if not we may have to consider growth hormones supp.
 
Hi Mashy,

You must be worried!

I understand how you are feeling but just to encourage you - look at the 80-90% chance and not the negative.....

What's most important still is that he is healthy.
 
yuki

yah, that's actually my pt in getting the tests done, so that i know that there's no other underlying disease or what.

The dr also said that wheat allergy can actually stunt growth. It only manifests in slow growth & has no other symptoms. So if after 6mths, he's still not growing within his graph, we'll have to check if he's allergic to wheat.
 
Hi Mashy,

What test can be done to see if he is allergic to wheat? Wny point in getting it done earlier so you can rule one factor in/out?
 
yuki

there's a test $150 that can be done at the dr's pte clinic. He said can wait till 6mths to c if he's growing at all.

ky
He's 90cm and 12kg. Yah, coz he hardly grows and is one whole head shorter than his peers. Your boy also very small right?
 
oh, btw, i'm considered abv average ht for a woman at 156cm and my hb at 175cm is average ht for man. So my boy will be taller than my hb coz of me. :p
