My right side of my baby bump

Lil' baby KJ likes to park himself on my right side of the belly. If you wanna look for baby KJ, please look at my right side of my belly.

Baby KJ kicks and punches frequently, especially after having meal. This lil' angel tickle me at times; I laugh out loud suddenly at times. This is a wonderful feeling! King and I know that baby KJ likes to play with us. Baby is active and curious inside the womb.

Baby KJ, we'll miss this wonderful feeling and moments for sure after this July! We love you, baby KJ! =)

Books for baby KJ

I know I've mentioned many times -- King and I are book lovers. So, it's no doubt that we prepare books and book shelves for our lil' baby KJ. Hehe!

Some people think it's a bit too early for us to prepare books for the lil' one, esp the books for 2 years old and above. I disagree with these people. There's no rule saying that this book is mainly for toddler or young kid or teenager or even an adult. Adult enjoys reading pictures book too; young kid enjoys reading fictions too; baby enjoys reading colorful pictures no matter how many words in it too. We buy good books for all sort of ages, including for ourselves. I laugh at these people because they know nothing about books. Toddlers and kids can't read many words, yet the parents can share the content after reading with the kids, why not?! Parents can spend more quality time with the toddlers or kids by flipping the books, why not?! Parents can figure out the doubts that questioned by the kid from the books, why not?! Why NOT?!

Think out of the box, people. THINK! =)

Taking a break

King is taking a break from work lately. Thank godness he's with me all this while when I lost my Grandma and my baby bump is growing bigger and heavier. He's such a kind hubby, I'd say.

** Well, we did some gardening together, although I hardly do much and King did most of it under Coby's inspection, haha! We know that we will not have time to do gardening together when baby KJ comes to this world.

** King goes for shopping with me all the time. We shop for home furnitures and stuff for baby KJ. It's so good to have a good driver when my belly is big, ha!

** King brings me for swimming with my sister when we have time during weekend. King is a good swimmer. We agree to let baby KJ to take up swimming lesson when he's ready in a few months old.

** We brought Coby to see vet when Coby started to unwell a week ago. Oh man, I don't know how am I going to handle Coby without King because my baby bump is heavy. Coby, we can't live without daddy, do you know that?

** We hang around in bookstore again when we have time. We bought new books for ourselves and baby KJ, again. Hehe!

** We have a lot of DVDs on our TV shelves. I cried wholeheartedly when we watched "Ten Promises", damn it! More DVDs to come while sitting next to King.

** Walking Coby together in the park is our usual daily job. We started to imagine when baby KJ is sitting in his baby stroller, checking out the park and birds in the park together with us, that's nice and sweet!

** Of course, King tend to have more sweet time for me and baby KJ. We talk to and play with baby KJ every morning and every evening. Baby KJ is starting to build the bonding with us and we enjoy every moment with him.

There are more things that we haven't start doing..... Catching movies in theatre, having fun in the kitchen together, designing the room for baby KJ, more and more.

It's good to take a break from work. Life with family is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

My dearest Grandma

I lost my beloved Grandma 3 weeks ago. I was sadden by the news although King and I did visit her a few days before she said final good-bye to everyone.

I tried to hold my tear most of the time because I want to handle the emotion well. But I did have teary eyes a couple times when I was alone.

Well, I did share the good news of having baby KJ with Grandma when she was still alive. She said she wanted to give him a red packet. I was touched after hearing that and was hoping that she could wait until July or August when baby KJ is born. Yet, Grandma is having reunion with Grandpa in the Heaven by now. So I guess it's a good thing in a way.

Baby KJ sensed my sadness and exhausting body during the traveling and funeral. But he was very cooperative with us. He didn't kick a lot; he gave me a peaceful of mind. Thank you, baby KJ.

Grandma has became one of my idols. I see her from the motherly part. I know that I gotta live stronger and happier because I'm going to be a mother soon. Grandma, may you rest in peace and we will miss you forever...... I love you!

The 5 kg

I finally reach 49 kg yesterday, yay! Well, I sound like someone who like to shade off some extra pounds, hahaha! No no, what I mean is I have gained extra 5 kg in the past 6 months, hooray! I'm happy, King is happy too!

By putting on weight, I started to drink fresh milk everyday and eat my favorite Avocado. Most people think I've the potential and good reasons to eat more more more based on my skinny and petite body shape. I disagree with this mentality and saying because everyone has different bone structure and body shape. I just want to eat healthy for myself and my baby, that's it.

Something good that I really wanna mention is baby KJ kicks a lot after having meal every time. I'm happy that he enjoys the food that we have together. I told baby KJ that all kinda food is good for him.

My target weight is 53 kg. Keep it up, mum-to-be! =)

夫妻誰的基因決定了孩子 (1)

夫妻誰的基因決定了孩子...

基因, 夫妻, 孩子

身高是誰的遺傳大?

——父母各占一半。

在營養狀況下的前提下,孩子的身高有70%的主動權掌握在父母的手裡,父母的遺傳是決定孩子身高的主要因素,因為決定身高的因素35%來自父親,35%來自母親。假若父母雙方個頭不高,那就要靠寶寶後天那30%的努力了。

智力是誰的遺傳大?

——媽媽

智力有一定的遺傳性,同時受到環境、營養、教育等後天因素的影響。據科學家評估,遺傳對智力的影響約占50%-60%,就遺傳而言,媽媽聰明,生下的孩子大多聰明,如果是個男孩子,就會更聰明。這其中的原因在於,人類與智力有關的基因主要集中在X染色體上女性有2個X染色體,男性只有1個,所以媽媽的智力在遺傳中就占有了更重要的位置。

為證明此點,我們首先來復習下高中生物知識:男寶寶和女寶寶是怎樣來的?

男生是XY,X (卵)是來自母親,Y(精子)是來自父親。

女生是XX,X (卵)是來自母親,X(精子)是來自父親。

所以生男生女都是先生的錯,不要怪罪媽媽的肚皮不爭氣

請注意:

男生是XY,所以男生的智商全部都是來自母親的遺傳,女生是XX,所以女生的智商是父親跟母親各有一半影響。

因為女生的智商是父親母親都有影響,所以會有中和的效應。所以女生智商的分布會呈現自然分布(normal distribution),就是倒鐘狀,中間最多,兩邊較少。

然後男生因為是完全只受一方影響,所以男生智商分布會呈現在偏向在兩個極端。也就是說,男生天才比較多,但是同時,蠢材之中也是男生特別多。

這個故事告訴我們什麼?

1. 你要判斷一個男生聰不聰明,看他媽媽就知道了。可是,你又要怎麼判斷一個男生的媽媽聰不聰明?......。.想不出簡便的方法...。.

2. 然後我們用機率來算:

生男孩的機率= 1/2;生女孩的機率=1/2。

生男孩的時候,母親對於男孩智商的影響力 = 1

生女孩的時候,母親對於女孩智商的影響力 = 1/2

所以說母親跟父親對於下一代智商的影響力(期望值)的比例是

1*1/2 + 1/2*1/2 : 0*1/2 + 1/2*1/2= 0.75 : 0.25= 3 : 1= 母: 父

所以說,如果你:

1. 是男生,如果你覺得你很笨的話。你千萬要娶一個聰明的女生來。這樣你小孩翻盤的機率還有七成五,人生還是充滿了希望。

2. 是女生,如果你覺得你很笨的話,因為,你翻人家盤的機率有七成五...。.啊,我不能再說了.......。.總之,最近天氣不錯,出去走走。

3. 當你看到一個男生很聰明的時候,則,他父親很聰明的機率是 0% (應該說,就算他父親很聰明,也對他是沒有影響的),可是他母親很聰明的機率是100%。

所以說,如果你在考慮要嫁給一個很聰明的男生的時候,你就要小心他媽媽,可能會是一個很會算計的婆婆。

反之,當你看到一個男生很笨的時候,沒錯,他通常會很有錢,這是上帝的安排,上帝為了不讓人類滅亡,所以他會讓很笨的人很有錢,這樣他才能娶到聰明的女生。

性格是誰的遺傳大?

——爸爸。

性格是父親的遺傳大。性格的形成固然有先天的成分,但主要是後影響。比較而言,爸爸的影響力會大過媽媽。其中,父愛的作用對女兒的影響更大。一位心理學家認為:“父親在女兒的自尊感,身份感以及溫柔個性的形成過程中,扮演著重要的角色。”另有一位專家提出,父親能傳授給女兒生活上的許多重要的教訓和經驗,使女兒的性格更加豐富多彩。

相貌是誰的遺傳大?

——具體問題具體分析

膚色:

總遵循“相乘後再平均”的自然法則,讓人別無選擇。若父母皮膚較黑,絕不會有白嫩肌膚的子女;若一方白一方黑,大部分會給子女一個“中性”膚色,也有更偏向一方的情況。

眼睛:

(眼形)孩子的眼形、大小遺傳自父母,大眼睛相對小眼睛是顯性遺傳。父母有一人是大眼睛,生大眼睛孩子的可能就會大一些。

(雙眼皮)雙眼皮是顯性遺傳,單眼皮與雙眼皮的人生寶寶極有可能是雙眼皮。但父母都是單眼皮,一般孩子也是單眼皮。

(眼球顏色)黑色等深色相對於淺色而言是顯性遺傳。也就是說,黑眼球和藍眼球的人,所生的孩子不會是藍眼球。

(睫毛)長睫毛也是顯性遺傳的。父母只要一人有長睫毛,孩子遺傳長睫毛的可能性就非常大。

鼻子:

一般來講,鼻子大、高而鼻孔寬呈顯性遺傳。父母中一人是挺直的鼻梁,遺傳給孩子的可能性就很大。鼻子的遺傳基因會一直持續到成年,小時候矮鼻子,成年還可能變成高鼻子。

耳朵:

耳朵的形狀是遺傳的,大耳朵相對於小耳朵是顯性遺傳。父母雙方只要一個人是大耳朵,那麼孩子就極有可能也是一對大耳朵。

下顎:

是不容“商量”的顯性遺傳。父母任何一方有突出的大下巴,子女常毫無例外地長著酷似的下巴,“像”得有些離奇。

肥胖:

會使子女們有53%的機會成為大胖子,如果父母有一方肥胖,孩子肥胖的概率便下降到40%。這說明,胖與不胖,大約有一半可以由人為因素決定,因此,父母完全可以通過合理飲食、充分運動使自己體態勻稱。

禿頭:

造物主似乎偏袒女性,讓禿頭只傳給男子。比如,父親是禿頭,遺傳給兒子概率則有50%,就連母親的父親,也會將自己禿頭的25%的概率留給外孫們。這種傳男不傳女的性別遺傳傾向,讓男士們無可奈何。

青春痘:

這個讓少男少女耿耿於懷的容顏症,居然也與遺傳有關。因為父母雙方若患過青春痘,子女們的患病率將比無家庭史者高出20倍。

腿型:

酷似父母的那雙脂肪堆積的腿,完全可以通過充分的鍛煉而塑造為修長健壯的腿。倒是那雙腿若因遺傳而顯得過長或太短時,就無法再塑,只有聽任自然了。
