We thank God for bringing us this far... He that’s brought us here will bring this 9 months journey to a fruitful conclusion, IJN, Amen!!!! I’m so ready...babies start popping plsssss....

viettastitches:
please is it possible for team November to have already known the baby's gender since last month?

Yes, it is very possible to find out the gender of your baby as early as 9-10 weeks. It is a noninvasive prenatal testing blood test. Usually used to test for chromosomal issues, etc.

missusadey:
B.S.

I would like to thank everyone for the good wishes. May God bless you.

I see this thread and the people as dear ones even though I barely make comment,I dnt think there's ever a day I dnt visit the thread. Such a lazy person to type but thank God we are not all the same as I have learnt a lot from the thread. It was here I heard abt mucus plus,so when it showed I didn't panic as I already knew what it was and a lot of other things.

On that Wednesday, I was to have an appointment with my Dr and I had decided to ask him to fix a date for c-section as I didn't want to fall into labour with the baby in the wrong position. I started feeling contractions are 1am that morning about 12-15mins apart all through the

Congratulations! God is no man, indeed! Your BS is far from boring...it is a big Testimony. God bless the LO, loads, Amen.

@team May mums, I hail ooo...this will be our month of beautiful testimony and dancing...No evil shall befall any of us and every other woman in this thread... our able cappo, @mumsgirl27, good job, well done ma’am!

@all waddling mamas and still in the babe-level preggies, the Lord is your strength...

@irene670,
No woman should ever go through this...but God knows best. I pray the good Lord grant you the fortitude to bear this loss and come out praising God. It is well with you, dearie. You will be in my prayers always...cry your eyes out if u need it but never lose sight of God...hard as it may be...

dere5:
When was the interview?

Interview was just yesterday. It was an impromptu decision to take her cos my cousin’s school plans changed. Unfortunately, I didn’t follow their work contract guidelines. My nanny said the vo went through all the documents thoroughly and said he is satisfied with all but the contract. So gave her a white 221g form requesting for the contract and another showing the guidelines. If only I knew the guidelines b4 hand�.

sugah:
Hi. My nanny got her visa last year. She was 19 (looks a lot older) and also has issues with English although she isn't timid. I filled her form and signed myself ( at the end where they ask if the applicant filled the form by him/herself. I told her to request for a translator of her local dialect (Ibibio) when she gets into the embassy but she said she was still at the document check place when someone asked her language and scribbled it on her document.. So she automatically got an interpreter when she got to the VO.
I only gave her a copy of my visa page/ son's data page when she went in and she was placed on administrative processing and I was asked to bring her employment contract. So I drafted a cover letter stating how long she had been with me(6months), a testament of her character and that I'd be taking care of all expenses and also her employment contract showing her working hours and wages.

So she would need to request for an interpreter, give her your visa page, a cover letter and her employment contract.

Hi. Plz how long did it take to get your nanny's passport after submission?? I am in same dilemma now and my travel date is in 2.5weeks. Thanks

MizMyColi:
I had decided not to comment on this ish anymore. But I like that you sounded curt.

First off, when I made the first comment, I was trolling. But the envynot character (whoever you are) decided to bring its negative energy into my mentions.
I do not take lightly to bullies. It's either I keep you quiet to the extent you doubt your own existence or I return your fire with bigger fire.

Now you are the one who is insinuating that I am saying Onegai is envynot.

I asked envynot a question based on my perception....."why do you sound so much like Onegai"?

There is a particular Nairalander who sounds like me a lot on this forum.
Two things, no three, are involved....
It is either I am the one operating the account either personally or by proxy.
Or
The Nairalander I'm talking about follows my posts and actually admires my manner of posting and as such, subconsciously adopts my writing style.
Or
It is just mere coincidence.

So Envynot, which is it?

Point understood and taken...but pls be careful of ambiguous statement...Cheers!

MizMyColi:
No, now you shut the f**ck up, you hideous rabble rouser.

You come out from whatever shiit hole you exist to dig up memories that everyone's trying to move on from.

The way you carry this matter for head like someone who is hawking gala at Oshodi bus stop is somewhat baffling. Is Onegai your god? btw, why do you sound so much like her?

Madamé, that is so not right...u have practically accused Onegai, of being envynot...do not throw accusations you can't back up...I am not a defender of anyone but we should all learn to appreciate one another...we all have one thing or the other to contribute. Onegai, did well for this forum and no one can take that away...not said a word since this brouhaha, cos honestly, we are all adults - mothers at that- and should know better. Cheers!

@PresVA and AlphaHandMaiden,

This s just a plain example of miscommunication...

I understand what, PresVA is saying, "monitor all the time" was not meant literally...just same as mothers taking care of their children better wasn't in the literal form...I for example, believe no one can take care of my kids than moi...whether wrong or right, me don't care, that's my opinion...monitor all the time simply means, I will feel better if I was home and around them...but truth is a lot can n will still happen...

AlphaHandMaiden's response, was just explaining that even with you there, things can happen n PresVA, am sure if you think about it...you must have had some "oh! My word" moments...me I have had oo, DD almost fell out of my hands in the bathroom while bathing! The thought still makes me cringe...she was going head down...on tiled floor! DS fell down the stairs...gate left opened by me...was saved by daddy coming up!

We all need to understand that, there are some advise...if not many...we give out here, which doesn't mean we have done ourselves. It's just that we mothers on the forum look out for each other and share ASAP, what we've just learnt...E.g, I talked about baby proofing the house and making it all relatively safe for our kids...me won't lie you, I only just started yesterday, but almost thru- with my bedroom being the remainder...I only just packed the batteries and all...ah! I still have the Clorox n detergent left in the kids bathroom ooo...anyways, don't mind me, am just looking for cheap praise...

Let's all pls be mindful, the way we respond to each other, written words can be simply mis-interpreted...if it was spoken words it's easier to decipher the love or shades...

Oya, PresVA and AlphaHandMaiden...all na love...

Cheers!

Hello mamas...just thought to share...choking is a very serious issue, let's all be more careful...as for me, I intend doing a serious check in my home...pls let's baby proof our homes adequately and get rid of anything that's a choking hazard...I don't mean throwing it all away but making sure it's where baby can't get to...also we need to be more careful on no-no foods...God bless our efforts...

Onegai:
My cousin didn't want it that big, it spiralled out of control. Worse, she ran around like a demented person, which is what always happens at every big party (seriously what is the point of a lavish party, when you barely see what happens and certainly don't enjoy it). Her acquaintances with the snobbish behaviours, may not be able to afford a lavish party but will throw it. So as to be seen matching Naira for Naira. Their kids go to school with my nephews and nieces and it's funny to see how the parents have elaborate party packs and parties. These ladies want fancy parties but will ask my sis "oh can your sis come help do Arty stuff at my child's birthday, I have N10k but she will spend the entire day and I will definitely expect all sorts of exciting stuff so I can wow my guests". If I agree, on that day if their friends ask how much it cost, they will be coy about what they paid but say "it's normally N45000 to N50,000 outside", to give the impression they spent a ton without blinking.

Everyone should do as they please but for pete's sake don't do it because you feel you ought to impress someone.

Now that is a classic example of "I want to belong"...we should surround ourselves with people comfortable in their own self! I can even see this ppl actually saying they paid u alot behind your back!

Onegai:
I went to Balogun and got 2 pretty white dresses and socks for Baptism. She looked pretty, everyone loved it. If I could have used my Baptismal dress, I would have.

I think a lot of people get caught up in the "you must spend so-and-so for your kids" mentality. There is a lot of "have you bought this, does your child have that" going around and it only gets worse by the time they go to school. I have seen the party packs that come back from my nephews' and cousins' friends birthday parties and I am stunned at how much the parents spend. The worst I attended was a 1st year birthday party...with Photo booth, souvenir stand, 4 different caterers, a DJ, professional photographers, an MC and a cake stand, all themed. And all I showed up with was a card...

There is no competition in parenthood like feddy27 said. I believe people should do what makes them happy. No one should feel pressured cos someone ask if u've gotten this or that for your baby...it just might be a harmless question to remind u in case, u've forgotten...the number of things I didn't even know about or know I needed was so long, thanks to friends that told me...I would have been very angry if I could have bought them cheaply and now end up buying fake at triple the price! Truly, there are people that have otherwise intents, but the thing to do is blank them...there are things even after being told, that I felt was too expensive and I got alternative.

On kids birthday parties, I feel there is too much criticism on ppl whom spent a bit on it...fingers are not equal and priorities are not same. Everyone's story is different...if after 8yrs of marriage, God blesses me with fruits of the womb, and I decide I want to do a big party for their 1yr...will u say, am wasting my money?? Or if I would rather have a party instead of a vacation?? Some people spend more on cars, bags, shoes et al...that's their priority n who are we to judge?? We all have something we are into...my take is, don't do any thing just to feel among or cos of pressure...do what you can afford to n be reasonable about it, e.g, spending on clothes/parties but not immunization - outright, foolishness! I might not be able to get my child a crib or decide it is wasteful, but that doesn't mean Mrs A that got is wasteful...

I do me and can never be pressured to do what I can't or don't want to. Everyone should do themselves!

Sorry for my rant...

AlphaHandMaiden:
My DD used the christening gown i used as a baby for her baptism...... plenty sentimental value!
If i have a boy! He will use the same gown.....
If prince george can wear a dress for his christening..... then its fine...

I dont even buy anything that is pink!, every thing needs a re-use or re-sale value. All in unisex colours as much as i can get away with it.

I also carefully wash and package everything,
all clothing are bagged in order of size.

I keep all the manuals - everything from bouncers to toys.

Tie all screws or fasteners and ensure they are tied or taped to the main pieces so you can find for future assembly.

Keep the carton if i can and put it back in the cartons if i can.

Awww...how nice @ your christening gown. Wished I still had mine. Used part of my mum's wedding dress, and the feeling was great... Actually, all babies use christening gown in the past...it is all this civilization fashion...so pls let our dear BB AlphaHand...rock his gown...

We are same o...I wash and package all my clothes, labelled 3,6months et al.keep all manuals, screws, bowls et al. Nothing must waste.

Zheemub:
@Doubledouble, even if a baby takes 2 baby spoons and turns head away? Dies that mean he is full already?
My lo does that and I presume he doesn't like the food. But for how long cuz he is 7 months.
Just fed up.
Suggestions on how to improve his eating habits will be appreciated.
Thanks

I totally understand where you are coming from...am of the opinion that if it is 2 full baby spoon, then it is possible he is ok...especially when you try for a little while and he keeps turning away...I also do the babythug style- I leave for a while, and try again...he is just 7 months and just exploring the foods...it isn't his main source of nutrients yet... I have learnt the foods babies are meant to eat is actually smaller than what we expect...this then make us panic...

AlphaHandMaiden, Helovesme, Onegai et al have discussed how to improve babies eating habits...search for it pls...

Persistence is the key here...just keep at it and with time, he will get on with it...
Do not make feeding time a stressful time...this can mar his feeding habit for a long time...sing n praise him no matter how little he takes
Give varieties as best as u can, he is still 7 months...but pls follow the 3 day rule

Just try relax and enjoy his face with the new tastes...am sure other mums will add...cheers!

ambient:
Sorry for asking did silly question but I want to know how I will be able to start solid and how to know my ds is filled. I started giving solid yesterday (two egg yolk) he kept on eating then vomited everything and went back to his precious breastfeeding milk.
I just to know how many spoonfuls should I start with because he is always opening his mouth and I don't know when to stop.

There is nothing like silly question...two eggs, yolk or white is too much for an infant. Portion size is something we need to take seriously as obesity in kids is on the high now...an infant's mechanics is cleanly wired in a way that they stop feeding once full...but this gets messed by we over zealous mums that want our babies to feed more and keep giving them more even when the child is turning away...thus, with time they keep feeding even when full...

For portion size you can read up on this link, and just learn to use your discretion for younger ones:

comtem2011:
My sister! Your point was the main reason I agreed that day o, but God is the giver of wisdom, he will help me.
I even told hubby on phone that I left him for them, he was very angry, so if I now tell him they gave him water maybe na my papa village I go dey now.

Thank God for His mercies...glad lil comtem is doing well...also glad you've learnt your lesson albeit the hard way...just like moi...smh thinking of it...

Pls mothers, let's all learn to protect our kids first...like my pastor said to me, one of the greatest sins is the one against oneself...your spirit tells you the right thing and within you, you know...but because you don't want to hurt someone else or you are more concerned about other people's feelings...you do otherwise...

I have learnt the hard way after my girl landed in the hospital...now I stand on what's right for my kids politely...I make fun of myself whilst at it...e.g, don't mind me ooo, You know am still a jjc coupled with my work...am sure I will look back someday and make fun of myself but pls just indulge me... "Had I known" is a biatch

rofemiguwa:
She is sixmonths plus

There is no rule of thumb to feeding a baby...that Mrs D DD took to eating easily doesn't mean her next child will...kids are different...a classic example are my kids...my girl eats any and everything, plus pap, but my boy is different, all he wanted at a point was pap...just serve appropriate foods at the right age and see how it goes...at 6 months you are still in the purée stage...try various purée and see which DS accepts...

I personally detest pap, I vowed to never give my kids pap...but it is what it is...will u watch a child starve all because you don't wanna feed him pap?? All you can do is fortify the pap as much as u can n keep trying to introduce other things. We learn everyday, u can exclude soyabean and add other things...there was a time I was so worried about my boy's feeding, I came on here and cried out, and our dear mamas- AlphaHandmaiden, Helovesme, Onegai and co helped out...it then occurred to me to purée some beans and add it inside the pap- lo, he took it! You can purée apple,kiwi et al, into your pap... So pls just think outside the box, and keep trying different things...pap included if you want to...all the best...Cheers

comtem2011:
The devil is a liar big time!!!!!
Thanks to God for the prayer offered on this altar!.

God's name be praised always...AMEN!!!!

Cannot begin to imagine what you must have gone thru n still going thru...it is well, IJN, Amen..pls keep an eye on things even whilst at the hospital...if he isn't on a drip...monitor his number of wets to avoid dehydration...if there's any sign of that...pls insist on a bolus being given or urine test to check on hydration level...he is healed by Christ stripes, in Jesus name, Amen.

Pls what is he being treated for now without a test result??

sugah:
Good evening mamas.
Please I need input from mamas who have hired/paid help...or who knows people that do.
I have the following questions to help me make a decision on what to do.

1...What's the age range of the nanny
2..what is the pay range
3..Are they live in or non live in.
3a. If none live in, what is their work time?
3b. If live in, how many days off do they get in a Month?
4. Is their duty strictly taking care of your LO or do they do housechores too.

1) I personally prefer 27-34. My reasons: when they are younger, most have their heads in the air. Too old, and they will be diffy to control...they will tell u this is how they treated mrs D's babies and stuff. Saying this it depends on individuals. My present nanny was 28 when she started.

2) Pay range depends on location and your situ. I pay my present nanny 35k. If she wasn't leaving, I woulda increased it cos she is mega worth it. I advise, never under pay if you want them to be loyal, take good care of your kids n not steal; this also depends on the individual, there are some if u pay them 100k sef, they will still mess up. Had one like that, always talking about being paid in high amounts with governors she worked for...anyways, now she's begging for her job back... Sorry about my rants...25k above...

3) mine are live-in... Too much risks involved with non live-in

3a) I don't know

3b) first 3 months no off...a weekend monthly after that...this is subject to agreement. My present nanny didn't want off but to be allowed to go 2hrs every Wednesday and Saturday for her marriage counselling...the other one wanted monthly but to go Friday and return Saturday or any other day convy

4) I have a house help but everyone that works in my house, must clean. If it is their house won't they clean?? Just lay down what you want from the beginning...I advise drawing up a contract on things agreed and duly signed n notarised...don't laff me ooo

It is all about agreement my dear...don't be desperate and look for someone that suits your needs...it is give n take...u should be able to get what you want from them and they should get what they want from you...

Pls do tests ooo. Retro viral, hep b n c, tb (mantoux) or quantiferon, not tb serology ooo. Above all, PRAY

rezzy:
Cuties everywhere. God bless them all

Onegai:
Hey mamas, thought to share: a foundation called Wildlife Africa is doing an exhibition on sea turtles this saturday morning, close to Elegushi Beach. Admission is free. It is targeting kids and will teach them about sea turtles. There will be no sea turtles there that day, because they live in the sea and only come out to lay eggs but there will be live freshwater turtles that the kids can see. We don't really have zoos and aquariums, so this is a good way to learn something.

I've only seen baby freshwater turtles in Nigeria and one big tortoise, I wish we had more fun educational stuff for kids here...

At this rate, baby E got no choice but to be very wise...thumbs up to your effort Onegai, it will not be in vain in Jesus name, Amen.
