我媽做了一些黑白的格子和點點的圖形,要我看...
說是刺激我的視覺發展...
但是,好像催眠的作用比較大一點.....
這是他們第一次來冬天的紐約!我很希望他們能夠看到大雪紛飛的樣子,親自踏踏積雪!2月12日有下一場雪,但是不大,下個兩個小時就停了!地上也沒積雪!
那天,在下雪的時候。早上,我一發現下雪,就連忙叫老爸看窗外!下雪了!
路,是白的。
樹,也是白的。
車子,也是白的。
一片白...
老爸也很開心的叫媽一起看! ^^ 原本期待中午去外面玩玩雪,但是,下個兩個小時,就停了。
這次!我只能說感謝神!
今天是他們在紐約的最後一天,明天早上的飛機。就在今天,下了大雪。
雪,繼續下,還積了六吋多..
老媽起床後,我就催他們換衣服。趁著baby 還在睡覺,我快點溜下去幫他們照相!
但是,老媽不停的念,說坐月子不要這樣亂跑,而且還下雪...
反正,不是第一天出去了,我也沒什麼差。
我只希望他們能夠有合照!
逼他們快點換上外套,穿好鞋子,快點出門。
在外頭幫他們跟被雪覆蓋住的白色米辜車照相,還有路邊的樹...外頭的雪景!
邊照相,老媽邊唸:「哪有人坐月子還出來淋雪的,帽子也不帶..不要照了啦,回去啦....」
幫他們照個幾張後,我就進家門。讓他們自己去外頭走走,踩踩雪,玩一玩!
剛好!回家後沒兩分鐘,Stephanie 哭了,要喝奶...哈! 真是準時的小孩!乖!
下午,我還特地打電話到AA問問看班機的情況。今天的雪,讓很多班機延誤起飛。
但是明天應該沒問題,會準時,well..起碼不會延誤太久。
真的很開心!很感謝神...
讓我的希望成真! :) 讓爹娘玩到雪~在外頭走了一圈,體驗一下! ^^
Yeah!

This factsheet is for parents or carers who would like information about colic.
Colic is the extreme end of normal crying behaviour. The condition is harmless, but it can be very distressing for parents or carers. About one to two in every 10 babies get colic.
Colic is uncontrollable crying in a baby that has no known cause.
Your baby may have colic if he or she cries excessively over several days. Although this crying can occur at any time, it usually gets worse in the late afternoon and evening. Colic usually appears in the first few weeks after birth and the cause isn't known. It generally lasts for three to four months.
Although colic isn't thought to be due to pain, your baby may look uncomfortable or appear to be in pain. Babies may lift their head, draw their legs up to their tummy, become red in the face and pass wind. Colic is not a serious condition. Research shows that babies with colic continue to eat and gain weight normally, despite the crying. If your baby doesn't, you should see your health visitor or GP.
The main problem with the condition is the stress and anxiety it creates within the home. You may find it difficult to cope with the constant crying, so it's important for you to have support and to take a break now and then.
The cause of colic isn't known. In the past it was thought to be related to the digestive system. Painful wind may contribute to colic, but there is little evidence to prove colic is linked to digestive problems. Intolerance of lactose has also been identified as a possible factor, but evidence is limited.
Another possible cause may be your baby's temperament. This may make your baby highly sensitive to the environment, and he or she may react to normal stimulation or changes by crying. If you smoke, this may also be a factor.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is associated with excessive crying in some babies. GORD symptoms include being sick and difficulty sucking, these are not usual symptoms in babies with colic.
You may be worried about your baby's crying and may want to get advice from your GP or health visitor to make sure there isn't a serious problem.
Before visiting your GP, you should think about what other things may be causing your baby to cry. These could include:
If none of these are causing your baby to cry, you may decide to see your GP or health visitor. They will examine your baby and will ask you about your baby's behaviour. By telling them when your baby cries, eats, sleeps and their pattern of bowel movements, they may be able to find out the cause of the crying.
There is no single medicine or proven cure for colic, but there are measures that may help. Different babies are comforted in different ways, and you may need to try a few methods to see what works.
To soothe crying babies, the following techniques may be helpful.
There are some dietary changes that may help some babies, but none are proven to treat colic.
It's thought that some babies may not be able to digest proteins called lactose very well, but this improves as they get older. If you put breast milk into a bottle or use formula feed containing cow's milk, you could try adding lactase before feeds to see if this helps. This can be purchased from a pharmacist. Lactase breaks down lactose in the body and can improve symptoms in some babies in the first few months. Some mothers may find using low lactose milk formula useful. If, after a one week trial, either method helps your baby, you can carry on feeding them in this way until they are 12 weeks old. The baby should then be slowly weaned onto normal milk over a period of one week.
There are other methods that may help if a low or non-lactose diet doesn't work for your baby. If you are breastfeeding, you could stop eating dairy products, or try feeding your baby a hypo-allergenic formula containing whey or casein hydrolysate which your baby shouldn't be allergic to. If eliminating dairy from your diet or hypo-allergenic formulas feeds work, you should talk to your GP about a referral to a specialist as your child may have an intolerance to cow's milk. However, there is limited evidence that non-dairy breast milk and hypo-allergenic formulas are effective at reducing colic.
A substance found in soya products called phytoeostrogen can affect the development of your child. Speak to your health visitor and GP before using soya-based formulas.
There is limited evidence that simeticone (eg Infacol), may improve symptoms. This treatment is used to relieve trapped wind. You may also consider trying colic drops or gripe water, which are available without a prescription.
Chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy or cranial osteopathy may relieve symptoms. However there is limited evidence that these treatments are effective.
Aromatherapy and tummy massage using lavender oil may help relieve the symptoms of colic. Always ask the advice of a qualified practitioner as some herbal remedies can be harmful to babies.
Caring for a baby with colic can be very stressful, frustrating and challenging for any parent or carer, particularly if it's your first child. If you feel overwhelmed, you should take a break if at all possible. Ask a partner or friend to take over for a while, even for just an hour or two.
