Baby & Motherhood

As a soon to be mom of two, I did learn a couple things through the motherhood journey that I wish I knew before. This can be something as simple as what to pack in the hospital bag or what baby items are indeed a necessity versus good to haves. I fully acknowledged that everybody's experience and preferences are different, however - I thought it will still be interesting to share here, in case it can be useful in anyways for other soon to be moms :)

My motherhood journey didn't go as smoothly as I planned it to. My eldest daughter, Grace, is now a thriving 4 years old. However, when she was a baby, she had a pretty severe silent reflux. Unfortunately, as a clueless first time mom (FTM), it took me a while to understand what was wrong with my baby. We started giving her medication for the reflux when she already developed adversity towards feeding - and this impacted her general attitude toward food and eating up until now.

I will touch on these two topics often in my blog, so I'm creating this page to list out relevant posts.

To sum up, this quote really resonates with my motherhood journey so far:

Not until I experienced Motherhood myself, I fully understand what it really means to be a "mom" and how special it is to be called a "mom". Cheers to all super moms out there!

TB Test Result

When I woke up in the morning last Thursday, the first thing I did was checked my hand. To my utmost horror ... It had became that big! Gosh ... the final result from the nurse was positive with 14 mm bump. So whether I want it or not, I need to go and get a chest X-ray =( PS : Btw, have I told you that this bump will stay for months? =( Oh, and it is starting to itch too ... =( UPDATES: The bump disappeared after a month or so. There is no scar whatsoever on my hand. I heard that a lot of people who were born in Asia usually get a positive result. It is because they had TB Vaccination while they were little. Anyway, I did get my chest X-ray. There is nothing to worry, everything is good =)

TB Test

One of the things that I hate the most in life is shot / injection. I think, I have a phobia for needle =P This phobia started a long time ago, back in my early childhood. I got typhoid or abdominal fever when I was three or four... and back then, their healing method was still traditional. They had to monitor the virus inside of me daily. So they took my blood every other day. This lasted for almost a month. Can you imagine the horror of this? Especially for a three or four-year old girl? Ever since that incident, needle has become my big enemy. Before I went to U.S. last year, I was forced to get an MMR shot. Oh, it was so scary. I remember I couldn't feel my knees soon after they gave me the shot. My knees became limp in such a short time! Anyway, after that injection the doctor gave me a note, like a proof for the injection. Through my agent, I sent that doctor's note to Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. When I transferred to De Anza College, TAMUCC didn't for
