Dear All,
Just a quick post to say that we have been walking together for 5 long years and we pray that we will be holding hands for years to come.
Not much of a program, just went to our usual French style restaurant in Pacific Place. Great place, great value for those looking for some mid priced French meal.
Coincidentally, today was baby's 20 week check-up. Baby is doing fine, 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 kidneys, one liver, lungs, heart etc... everything is going smoothly. :)
Today was the first time somebody let his seat to Yukyin!!! Many thanks to that guy! we were moving into a crowdy MTR car and there was no seats anymore, somebody noticed how painful she was feeling and let his seat to her. Dear God, I pray that you bless this guy!
However, I recognize that it is not that easy to see if someone is pregnant, especially Yukyin as her tummy is quite "hidden". It happened to a lot of people, we are not sure that the lady is pregnant and completely afraid of doing something real wrong... :(
Last thing, does anybody knows how it cost to save cord blood from the baby? We are wondering about that. It should be quite a huge amount of money and does not serve a lot of time, but when it serve, it is indeed very useful... Leukemia especially. So... if anybody can share some thoughts, it will be much appreciated.

If you can donate to a public cord bank please do. *private cord banks* prey on fear, but in truth offer little assurance of anything. Money would be better spent on child-proofing your home (largest cause of injury and death to children).
Even if your child did have Leukemia , as my baby did (or many genetic diseases) - that cord would be useless as it would be more likely to re-introduce that disease that cure it.
My child was saved by a cord of an unrelated babe - PUBLICALLY banked.
Unless you have a sibling with cancer, or a history of genetic blood disordes ,you need to question the need and expense of privately banking cord blood.
I have seen so many children die waiting without matches. I so hate to think that a match for any of these children was stored safely away in a private bank of a healthy child who will never need it.
Don't believe the hype: bank publically.
Thanks Hassafrass for the sharing. I pray that your baby is doing fine now.
After a long discussion with Yukyin, we think that it does not worth the headache, too expensive and the chance that it will really be used is too thin. Pray that it will be used to save a life in need though.
Thanks
;)
