You could check another county or depending on where you are or how easy it is for you to travrl apply for a Nigerian passport. You can apply in person in New York orWashington. Not too sure about their office in Atlanta and passport issuance. This way you don't need to wait for the US passport to be ready before applying to the Nigerian embassy and the passport can be collected same day or worse case scenario sent to you in a week.

I think I will go to emirate myself and find out the rerouting stuff. Think my agent wants to open refinery on my head.

Think it will be cheaper to just get connecting flight from Houston to LA.

It appears that Stanbic has increased their exchange rate to $1 to N315.

Be warned.

...it will still go up. No more official rate.

Hi. Pls, for LA mamas, does the notarized consent form for American passport have to be from the embassy alone or can a lawyer's own also be used. I know fr Houston, I doesn't have to be from d embassy. Is LA also liberal?

Hi every one .... Has any momma used pampers swaddler a for thier babies? How was it .




It's wonderful, soft, and dry on baby. Used it first 2 months.

The swaddlers are actually best for little babies who haven't started moving much. When baby gets older the little movers or cruisers are better.

In my opinion pampers swaddlers are okay for newborns but from 6 months and above I'd definitely go for huggies. Infact with this baby I started with huggies from the start it provides more protection than pampers in my experience. Same way I prefer Dr brown for training pants, cheaper and equally effective.

Yes..true
How's your baby? Congratulations and your story reminds me of Gods miracles
I pray that you find Gods favour in finding a new house help
When it's time il check the training pants by Dr Browns
For now, little movers is bae smiley..we are 7 months and using size 4

I went for my interview yesterday in abj but was turned back cos I made an error on my appointment form...I still can't explain how I filled my visa payment receipt number instead of my ds 160 number. I was told to wait for two days for my visa receipt to be revalidated before I can reschedule another appointment .although my receipt is yet to be revalidated but I can see that the next available date is July 12 in abj and June 27 in Lag. I am considering using the expedite option to book an appointment as I am currently 29weeks gone.
Pls does anyone have any info on expedite option for the purpose of childbirth? Pls help a jjc

thanks a lot

It depends on your baby
I used pampers swaddlers from NB to size 1..Il rate it very good, it's absorbancy is excellent but my baby had diaper rash so I switched to huggies little snugglers which suited her skin...I attempted using pampers swaddlers again in size 3 and the diaper rashes reappeared again so I just abandoned it
IMO, pampers swaddlers absorbs well but huggies is softer and absorbancy is also good
From size 3..I used huggies little movers not snug and dry, which I will rate excellent...it absorbs VERY well, it VERY soft and it has large wings which prevents leakage

Il rate Huggies Little Movers higher than pampers cruisers
