元掛號費，沒健保加自付四百元。非感冒季，排隊等個五分鐘，感冒季，就可能等個二十分到一個小時，終於排隊輪到我，醫生看看我的耳朵，看看鼻子和喉嚨，噴一噴不知道什麼東西，然後就叫我去蒸喉嚨，排隊等拿藥，在醫藥分業之前，都是診所自己配藥給病人的。在這裡的整個醫療系統完全不一樣，美國真的蠻注重健康檢查的，大部分保險都有給付一年一次的免費健康檢查，對小孩的檢查更頻繁。這裡的耳鼻喉科算是特別的專科，路上很少見，但小兒科 (Pediatrics) 到處都有，在 baby 出生前父母就可以開始 interview 醫生，先到處打聽哪個診所哪個醫生特別好特別有耐心，然後打電話給診所要求要跟醫生見個面或電話 interview，先跟醫生溝通溝通照顧小孩的理念，也包括問問醫生為什麼要當小兒科醫生啊~ 家裡有哪些人啊~ </summary><link rel='replies'

的票在我一月初發現的時候就已經賣完了，VIP 包括進去看花燈之外，還可以到茶樓喝茶和吃點心。 這裡的燈會當然不比台北的盛大和熱鬧，但也算小而巧。屋簷上掛著紅色的燈籠，湖裡飄著七彩蓮花， 花園裡有小型瀑布製造水流，七彩蓮花隨著水流漂動，園裡放著南胡拉的國樂，也還算蠻有氣氛的。</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

blog 分享一下六個多月來擠奶的心得。以下文章擠奶以 pump 代替。我從小 B 出生第一天就開始 pump 了。初乳親餵完後，小 B 成天睡，吸奶的效率很低，吸得不頻繁，也沒什麼力，大概也搞不清楚怎麼吸，所以喝奶量很低。因為小 B 出生有輕微黃疸，醫生推薦開始喝配方奶，或者把奶 pump 出來，確定他每四小時有喝 10 oz 的奶，如果喝 pump 的母奶不夠 10 oz ，就要補配方奶。所以醫院在我住院的第一天，就把一台 Medela Symphony 搬來我旁邊。我每次都還是嘗試讓小 B 直接吸個兩口，可是他還是沒什麼力，所以我每兩到三小時給他吸完後就 pump 一次，因為不想讓它喝配方奶，所以就每次一定擠到一邊 5 oz 以上。</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml'

#240)，控溫器位置在 evaporator 最上方偏左的位置，運作時感應冰箱溫度然後回饋給電路板啟動或停止除霜功能。恆溫器如果損壞一般會有很明顯的表面破損，簡單的目視就可以知道是不是還運作正常，看來我們的恆溫器外形良好，應該不是除霜失效的原因。接下來檢查加熱器(heater, #230)，加熱器位置在 evaporator 的最下方，</summary><link rel='replies'

fuzzy。十一點後，我去睡，讓老公安撫他，一直到半夜一點了，他還是不肯睡，抱起來搖搖就不哭，但放回床上又開始哭。半夜一點，我醒來，發現他還沒睡，我決定就讓他哭吧！五分鐘去安撫他一次。可是沒用，繼續哭，這樣一直哭到半夜兩點半，我只好放棄，把他抱到我們床上，他馬上就睡著了！可是他在我們床上，我就沒辦法睡著，怕被子蓋到他，</summary><link rel='replies'

B 還有三個月的糧食。當初決定完全用擠的，不親餵，也經過了一番的掙扎，其實親餵最大的好處在於心裡的滿足感。小 B 有幾次願意直接吸個兩口，我的確感受到那種 "只有媽媽做得到" 的無法取代的親密感，但是他大部分的時間都很排斥，畢竟用奶瓶吸，對他來說還是輕鬆多了，我也就不強迫他。想想，訓練讓他親餵，等他依賴後，又要戒掉，總覺得太虐待他了，反正瓶餵是絕對必要的，</summary><link

Sauvie Island 的南瓜田抱了兩大一小的南瓜回家，今天開始刻~這裡到處有賣刻南瓜的工具，就像小朋友做美勞一樣。我到網路上印了要在南瓜上刻的圖案。刻南瓜第一步：把南瓜的頭打開然後蓋子拉起來：把裡面的子挖掉把印好的圖案黏到南瓜上，把圖描好,開始刻，最後再把蠟燭放進去。成品：效果不錯吧~ 小南瓜太小，不好刻，所以我們就刻了兩顆大南瓜~ 比想像中的簡單很多，因為南瓜很厚，卻不會很硬，所以很好刻下去，又不容易刻壞，看來這可以成為我們家的傳統之一，明年也可以挑戰更困難的圖案囉~外加伺機而動的小老虎一隻~ 嘿嘿~ 明年就可以派小孩去要糖果給我們吃囉~ :D另外，原來 pumpkin 本來就不是拿來吃的喔~ 根據一篇在 NPR.ORG </summary><link rel='replies'

義大利麵的口味真是變化多多，這個計畫已經持續了兩個月，菜單都沒有重覆。基本上...義大利麵就是選一種肉/海鮮、一些蔬菜，加上醬料，再配上適合的麵條就行啦！今晚吃的是蕃茄白酒海鮮麵，蕃茄是用去農場摘的小蕃茄，加蒜後用烤箱烤過，再加到醬料裡煮，吃起來有自然的甜味，不像用罐頭或外面賣的醬料那麼酸。煮麵也越來越有心得，以前總是麵歸麵，料歸料。現在學到的是...1. 煮完麵不要用冷水沖，2. 要加一些煮麵的水到拌麵的醬汁裡，3. 煮好的麵不要加橄欖油拌，這樣麵和料才能均勻混合喔~上週還自己做 pasta dough，味道和口感都不錯，可惜沒有切麵條的機器，所以做出來的麵就是奇形怪狀的 ^^;另外，有了攪拌機實在太棒了！本來揉麵團揉得手很痠，現在都用機器揉啦！所以也開始了每週作一種麵食點心的計畫，這週做了蔥花捲，</summary><link rel='replies'

type='text'>以前我們兩個旅行總是上網找最便宜的旅館，一星到兩星的都有，旅館的床是最基本的 queen size，床品質很糟，通常都是軟啪啪的。有時還會遇到馬桶壞掉，房間有怪味，有一次還遇到冰箱壞掉，老闆從倉庫搬一台出來換的狀況... 然後白天行程排滿滿，想把每個景點都玩到，搞得放假比不放假還累。現在不知是不那麼精力旺盛？還是想法改變？放假出去玩... 想把模式從 "旅行" 改成 "渡假"，寧願找一個近的旅遊點玩個兩天一夜，一天只排一到兩個景點，晚上選個舒服一點的地方享受旅館的服務，然後睡個好覺。這次我們找了離 Silver Falls State Park 和 Salem 都很近的休閒渡假中心 The Oregon Garden Resort ，我們選了 dinner package，不僅住在幾乎全新的房間裡，還附加了晚餐、美酒和 VIP

ft，其中四個可以走到瀑布的後面。公園有三個入口，分別是 South Falls、Winter Falls 和 Upper North Falls，據說 South Falls 最漂亮，所以我們就從這個入口進去，果然景色不錯，許多遊客只走了 South Falls 的部份，就離開了。我們走了捷徑，沒有繞到 Twin Falls、North Falls 和 Upper North Falls，只走了

這個滿普通的地方來放風箏呢？答案是，因為這個地方正處於理想的赤道暖流與北極冷空氣交會處，形成的氣流相當適合利用風力的運動，所以除了放風箏外，像 Wind Surfing、衝浪等活動也相當盛行。風箏節第25週年，主題是 "Pacific

(甜甜的...酸酸的...苦苦的...)。黃嘉千 (孫媽)和阿西 (孫家阿公) 真的很會演。至於陶家和張家的部份，到後來大概 80% 都是快轉跳過 (這就是用 youtube 看的好處)。對我來說...劇中提到的很多以前的東西我都沒有印象，因為我是六年級尾的啦！可是其中的一首配樂卻很有意義喔~ </summary><link rel='replies'
