在香港，20-22周的孕妇会有一次免费的结构性B超检查和子宫颈长度检查。今天妈妈怀二宝20周4天，就去PWH (Prince of Wales Hospital) 做检查。
结构性B超，顾名思义，就是检查胎儿是否有任何结构上的缺陷或不正常，包括头，心脏，手，脚，脊柱，肾脏，等等。护士是从大陆来的，小孩15岁了，很遗憾因为计划生育政策不能要两个孩子。她说，这个BB很好动，有时要追着才能定格仔细看。
她又说，这个BB很漂亮。我问这也能看出来？她说，五官端正。我想，OKAY, 男孩子嘛，五官端正，个子不要太矮，当妈的也没太多要求。皮肤基因似乎从不变异，爸爸妈妈都黑，也不指望会出来一个白白的胖小子。象Nathan现在的皮肤，被人称作“健康肤色”就足矣。
那为什么查子宫颈长度呢？据研究表明，子宫颈短的话，早产的概率就比较大。我跟护士说，好像美国没有这项检查。护士说，在欧洲比较流行，现在英国也在普遍采用。同时还测了子宫附近的血管，机器播出妈妈的心跳，是看子宫的供血情况。
结果一切正常。其它看不到的当然也没得保证。妈妈希望生下来一个完美的BB哦。

周六 <<云水谣>>
周六趁着小宝午睡的时间，爸爸强力推荐妈妈看一部电影叫做<<云水谣>>。爸爸最近常在网上搜寻电影，比较哪家的比较清楚。不过我觉得还是DVD的效果好，通常不愿意在网上看色彩失真的好电影。这次爸爸看了个开头，说一定要看，那就看吧。小宝睡得很好，妈妈看完电影还没醒呢。
这是一部战争爱情篇，理想/完美/残缺的爱情。徐若萱扮演的王碧云和陈坤扮演的陈秋水在定婚之日因政治原因被迫分离，这一别便是永生。王碧云留守台湾老年迁居加拿大一生未嫁，陈秋水投奔大陆作为军医辗转朝鲜、西藏，最后和一如王碧云一样痴心爱他的战地小护士王金娣结为连理，却不幸遭遇雪崩双双殉难。
同样有另外一个男人痴心爱着王碧云，但是王碧云因为爱情承诺永生等待生死不明的未婚夫，而且一直照顾陈秋水的母亲。陈秋水为着信仰投奔大陆，再也没有见过自己的母亲和未婚妻。我看完之后的最大感觉就是：男女有别。第二感觉则是：当今社会恐怕不会有如此的爱情存在了。

周日 银线湾海滩/沙田十八
银线湾在清水湾（Clear Water Bay)附近，从我们家开车略少于半小时能到。9点出门，先去接上另外一个Nathan 和他的爸爸妈妈. 为了不混淆读者的思维, 之后用他的中文名字: 雨轩. 雨轩比小宝小五天,体重轻很多,但是会说话. 每个孩子的发展进度真是不一样.
在香港, 对公众开放的海滩都归康文署管理, 通常设有凉棚, 更衣室, 淋浴和救生员. 周日天气非常炎热, 即使在凉棚下安顿我们的东西都觉得热阿热. 我们给小宝换上防晒泳衣, 戴上帽子, 带着游泳圈下水了. 妈妈我因为没有两截的游泳衣, 肚子大也不方便穿旧的一体的泳衣,所以只是在很浅的地方和小宝玩一玩. 而且尽量替小宝遮着伞, 觉得阴凉些可以有效防止脱水.
爸爸带着小宝去了较深的区域, 小宝远远看着妈妈向他招手时便会露出甜美的笑容. 小宝在水里开心地玩了一阵之后, 我们让他玩一会沙子. 沙滩边的浪其实反而很大, 不过小宝今天没有害怕. 爸爸甚至可以用沙子把他的小脚埋起来, 再由海水冲刷掉. 小宝玩沙的时候,妈妈则忙着喂他吃水果。每天早上10点左右是Fruits Time，即使出门我们都会带着。玩沙之后又去水里玩，换了雨轩的“乌龟”游泳圈坐，因为它的内部空间大一些，比较稳，也适合大只的小宝。
爸爸后来说停车时间要到了，我们更衣之后爬回高坡上的停车场。坐在那里等雨轩一家上来的时候，听到巡警告诉别人今天趴车不要钱。星期天属于"General Holidays"? 爸爸估计没有意识到，或者没有仔细读这个说明，冤枉多花了20几港币。下回就知道了，星期天免费而且没有时间限制。
我们开回家吃剩饭剩菜，小宝2点多才开始午睡，快5点被妈妈叫醒。6点多我们坐免费村巴去大学站。那里有家凯悦酒店Hyatt，酒店里有间餐馆叫做“沙田十八”。爸爸想去试一下，妈妈正好看报上介绍他们有手工面条。“沙田十八”服务不错，专门给小朋友提供一套餐具。小宝最后弄了一地面条，摔了一把普通的勺子。菜式爸爸觉得一般，芥兰太咸。我们还点了手工哨子面 和花生南乳猪手。小宝钟爱面条，妈妈喜欢猪手。不过以它的价位来说是差了些。
吃过饭，爸爸妈妈一人牵小宝的一只小手，走回村巴等车处。这幅经典的一家三口的画面终于可以在我家看到，希望小宝以后都这么乖，不要赖妈妈抱哦。

no need to sneak out
This morning when I took my bags, wore shoes and opened the door, Nathan was watching me doing all these without expression. Then I waved "bye-bye, Nathan, bye-bye", he waved back and smiled. I was so relieved, my baby grew up, Mommy doesn't have to sneak out every morning for work anymore.

吃喝拉撒睡 更新
小宝越来越Sweet，早上起床后，妈妈下班后，都要抱在一起呆一会。不管谁抱他（如果他让你抱的话），他都用小手拍你的肩膀。睡觉前，会拉着陪睡人的手，示意别人拍他睡觉。
*** 吃 ***
吃东西又回到去大连之前的水平。进步的是用勺子比以前强多了，差不多可以自己吃一瓶酸奶，当然之后他穿的Ｔ恤上全是酸的。没办法，不爱戴围兜，自己会把它扯掉。特别喜欢妈妈的早餐：半碗水果＋麦片方格＋酸奶＋牛奶。小宝不吃其中的水果，专挑方格吃，酸奶＋牛奶混合也舔的很带劲。所以妈妈开始往里加有机的麦片。此外，还有鸡蛋饼或鸡蛋羹，或者麦糊。
*** 喝 ***
爱喝包装饮料，我们提供的有小包装的维他豆奶，苹果汁，亨氏夏日果汁。也有买普通的大罐果汁，倒在杯子里，掺水之后给他喝。喝水也不错，所以每天有大便。
奶粉喝的越来越少，睡前的6oz减到只有4oz 。主要因为晚饭后妈妈吃点什么水果或零食，小宝一定也要吃。
*** 睡 ***
差不多十点之前睡着，早上七点多一点起床。中午睡一个半到两个小时，偶尔周末能睡两个半小时。
***玩 ***
自己会造些游戏玩，喜欢彩色泥巴Pizza Set组合，喜欢看别人拼图。太喜欢推车，快速地那种。最近喜欢咬保姆或妈妈，一定要改掉。
*** 说 ***
还处在babbling阶段，爱说，可是没人懂。大家都只好附和Yes或 Ok。

大连行 - 小宝篇
Nathan went to DaLian on July 25 and left on August 8. We stayed at my younger brother's apartment. It's sort of in the middle of the city, 5 minutes walking to ZhongShan Park, 10 minutes walking to a Walmart.
We went to that Walmart a lot, where grandma bought food, we shopped for clothing and shoes for Nathan, and Nathan could play the toys, and household items there.
We also bring Nathan to the Park in the late afternoons. He played in the big inflatable playhouse there twice. Well, the first time I let the nanny in with Nathan and didn't find it quite dirty. The second day early morning, Nathan started to have high fever.
Nathan ate less in DaLian than in HK for a few reasons, I think: (1) no high chair; (2) not used to the food cooked by Grandmother; (3) sick for a few days.
The most memorable events about Nathan are:
(1) Half-hour big-cry in Shen Zhen airport while waiting for the delayed flight: Neither yogurt nor candy could distract him. He held mom's hand and wanted to go back somewhere. Unfortunately the escalator direction he tried to step on was always wrong. I had to drag him to the correct way and you can imagine what happened. He cried so loudly that so many people expressed concerns or paid attention to us. One lady asked me if I am not the boy's mom and he was looking for mom :-(
(2) insist pushing his stroller in many places: the zoo, the park, the shopping mall, the hiking trail. He didn't care about the time, the things adults want to do. He just wanted to push the stroller forward, alone independently. He took a rest when he was tired. He got frustrated sometimes for some unknown reason.
(3) had high fever for 2 days and cried non-stop during the infusion (输液): Nathan started to have high fever around 5:30 am on the first Thursday morning. I brought him to Children's hospital at about 10:30 am. We waited for about 1.5 hour before seeing the doctor. The doctor suggested 灌肠和验血, which seems to be common practice in Mainland. I accepted it after the doctor's impatient explanation to me. Then we got some medicine and went home.
But high fever came back at 1pm, and 1am and 8pm the next day. I was little worried. So we went to the hospital again at 9pm on Friday. This time doctor suggested 输液, first we had Nathan do the allergy test. When the real 输液 started, me, my brother and the helper had to face Nathan's stuggle trying to move the tube with a needle into his forhead. As we hold his hands, he kept crying, moving his body and kicking his legs. What a mess and the room has no air-conditioning. Nathan was the most sweating one, of course. Poor baby. I will never bring him to 输液 unless it's the really necessary.

大连行 - 观光篇
We only went to 2 tourist places, because Nathan is not interested in sightseeing yet at this age. We adults really enjoyed many shows inside the following two parks.
(1) DaLian Forest Zoo: It was divided into 2 phases or 2 big areas: Captive District and Stocking District. Long tram connects the two phases. Finally we saw a children's playground in the zoo. Believe it or not, I tried to find playground in many places, park or shopping mall and was disappointed. Most parks provide exercise equipment for adults, but nothing for kids. Nathan plays the slide for many times.
Captive District: Animal (monkey, bear, etc) Show, Tiger Show.
Stocking District:
Thai Elephant Show is impressive, one elephant did massages to two volunteers from audience. It's funny that the elephant chose different body parts for the male and female volunteers, respectively.
Baby tigers and baby leopards are so cute. And you may touch them if you're brave enough.
I also liked the bird show.
(2) DaLian Ocean Park: It features Polar Animal House, Marine animal Shows and Bird Show.
Marine Animal Show: Walrus 海象, Seals 海狮 and Sea Otter 海獭.
Dolphin Show: It's the most crowded place I've ever been. We managed to find a place to put the stroller and Nathan was sleeping lying on it while we waited almost 45 minutes. My mom found one seat, helper and I stood beside the stroller protecting it from being pushed. Just before the show started, Nathan woke up. My mom asked me to sit down on her seat holding Nathan. Nathan was very exciting to see so many excited people surrounding us. He plaused, smiled. I also fed him snacks. It was the best time for all of us.
Bird Show: Parrots do skating, addition and subtraction, swing, and lots of more. It's the most interesting to watch them collect 10 dollar bills, only 10 dollar ones. They first fly near you if you hold your hand up with something, but if you're holding 1 dollar or 5 dollar bills, they simply fly away.
