Please House,

Is there anyone in Intown Suites, El Paso at the moment. I need help to check something for me at the reception. Would appreciate.

So today I was thinking... If u go through the ttc thread and ivf especially ivf thread Hmmm.... You'll melt...

So I felt if u can freely and willingly donate eggs especially if u know one who's in need pls do.
I wanted to discuss surrogacy but that'll take personal conviction.
These people are spending alot... OMG a whole lot. So pls I indulge us to visit and pray and do what you can as d spirit leads (like donate eggs, surrogacy) . During ur devotion pray for them or even if it's only one person.. Pick a name and pray.

God bless us all.

I have thought about this issue of surrogacy over and over again. A friend needed similar help but my partner is so old fashioned, he doesn't think it's a good idea. Our society ehn! he was asking questions o, plenty questions, will i be the one to impregnate you and you will give out the child? so you will carry a child who was fertilised by another couple? Will you be in this house for the nine months? How about your job? What will you tell people when they ask for the baby after nine months? The questions were too much so i aborted the idea.
Unfortunately, some of us want to help but we have non-supportive partners/society...

i read through the TTC thread once in a while and say a prayer for them everytime...

On the fit to fly issue.

I collected mine at their main office (the one beside the toll gate) a day before my trip. The woman actually suggested that she will put the flight date because she does not want them to stress me... She even put the pregnancy at 32 weeks even though i was like 36..

I have taken the fit to fly twice and what i noticed is that the women at the port health are majorly yoruba, who delight in you being respectful and nice to them...

talk to them nicely and they will help...

I saw this on twitter last night that she has been found.

simababe:
Leakytribe, congrats dear. May it be sound of goodnews in your home IJN.

@all, has any mama evr bn givn rhogan in the USA before and were you charged seperately for it.

Yes, i paid $100 at Del Sol Medical after a lab test of $70 to check the level of antibodies in my system.

They insisted that i have to take the shot after delivery or tie my tubes , so i chose the injection!

olokings:
hi,

please just give me the moniker of the person whom you sent message here and didn't return....

i will mount a search party!

You ehn!

CNOROYALCLAN:
Thanks dear. Are you staying at in town?

I dey my house for Gidi o . Had my baby 15months ago, lol. Na addiction dey make me come back to the thread ^{...covers face}

CNOROYALCLAN:
Thanks Pamperme. Yes I plan to stay at intown suite. Did you book your connecting flight from Lagos or you booked it when you arrived NY?

Yes, i paid for the ticket online with my gtb card a day to my trip to New York. think about USD500 for return ticket... Southwest hardly change their fares though, my sister paid the same amount when she travelled around December.

happytbaby:
Please how was that trip to El paso? Its very hard for me that there is no direct flight. Its too long jo. That is my major issue right now.

1797
Depart NEW YORK (LAGUARDIA), NY (LGA) on Southwest Airlines at 06:55 AM
Arrive in DALLAS (LOVE FIELD), TX (DAL) at 10:05 AM
Wanna Get Away

4640
Change planes to Southwest Airlines in DALLAS (LOVE FIELD), TX (DAL) at 11:00 AM
Arrive in EL PASO, TX (ELP) at 11:45 AM
Travel Time 6 hrs 50 mins


My flight route above, Note that by the time you walk from the arrival gate to the departure gate at Dallas, you would have spent half of the waiting time. i just sat close to the departure gate, ate enough donut and coca-cola to while away the time, it wasn't stressful for me though coz i already had almost a full day rest before embarking on the second trip! i did the same thing coming back with the baby... Arrived New York a day to my JFK-LOS trip.

CNOROYALCLAN:
Thanks for the great job guyz. Please is anyone travelling to El paso in June? What route do you intend to take? I really want to avoid Houston POE. I am thinking of JFK but I feel it’s going to be VERY VERY stressful. Advise pls.

Perhaps if you have someone in New York, you can just rest for the night and take a flight to Houston the next. i stayed with a friend's husband overnight and took flight from Laguardia to El Paso with Southwest the next day. That way, the stress was reduced and i didnt have to go through Houston. But if you dont have anyone in New York and you can afford an overnight stay at the hotel, just look for one close to Laguardia airport.
Will you be staying at Intown?

NaijaMama:
I have noticed that local flights don't take off from JFK in New York. Flights can either be gotten from Laguadia or Newark. If that's the case, how do I shuttle arriving in JFK and catching a flight to Houston?

I am also trying to use wakanow to book one way from Lagos to JFK and one way return from Houston to Lagos. Do you envisage any challenges with at the Point of Entry when I present tickets from 2 different airlines and 2 different locations?

I think there is a shuttle bus from JFK to LaGuardia for $3 but the last time I took it was 2014. Don't know if it's still on...

LadyGuinivere:
I see a new trend. A lotta new posters introduce thmselves. Tell us they have been reading...Then ask for affordaable hospitals. Some want it emailed to them sef.
Please that is not how this thread works. You the pregnant mama, the one with a vested interest are the one that does the heavy lifting. Luckily for you, it has been made easier. All you have to do is read. People have posted the hospitals they used. That was their idea of affordable. Read. Pick. Choose. You can now narrow down your options and ask the older moms their experiences.
People here are pregnant, some have jobs, some are using bow and arrow to hook pta and doing midnight for cheap flight. Is it fair for them to do your own research for u too?

15 months after my second baby... i still come back to this forum...

Some people are just lazy at reading...

GucciOluwa:
I just had a Mc. We are so devastated. All our plans, hopes, dreams, everything gone. Our only hope is on God. May God keep you all and your unborn babies safe until the time appointed. Amen

Sorry for the loss. i pray that the Almighty God will open your womb again, you will carry it to term and bring forth your gift just like the Hebrew woman. Baby dust on you dearie... *e-hugs*

modath:
I join you in solidarity as you are my bebe coco.

I know GT wella, a bank that has Abok1 inside banking hall to change FX for customers by force?


@beautyX5 ...

Abeg help tell GTB head honchos that na like this UBA start before people be dey side eye dem, make dem kontinu!!

A friend said this, this morning o. i didnt believe him until i read this. Na wah o. GTB!!!!

modath:
God is good & like always tell people who ask ME, ; "If in doubt, fly in through JFK, na human beings dey dia, their first thought is not how & what to do to wipe off the smile on one's face..

You are very correct with this JFK thing... Even my sister passed through at 37weeks. No qualms
i was 36 weeks when i passed through JFK and the guy even requested i name the child after him if he's a boy. Such splendid people there!

@damsell

Sorry to hear about this darling...
May God be with you, your husband and your lil son (El Paso baby) and of course your very wonderful mum.
Take care dearie

@intending America mamas

Remember this when you are buying a promo ticket from any airline. Promo ticket are usually rigid, you cant make any changes without paying through your nose and am not sure they are refundable. Get it when you are absolutely sure of your dates of travel.

Please be guided!

bellong:
1.. No need of adding chilli pepper but you can add little salt.
2. Yes you can use them but not steam them. Eat fresh and raw..
3.. You can slice the tomatoes or grate it so it is easy to push through.

Thanks for your prompt response. Confession time

i added lil pepper yesterday when i made the Liver (hope i havent spoilt the regimen o) and i steamed the mixed veg too. ^{Buries head in shame}

Guess i just have to learn to eat things raw! thanks.

@ bellong

Am on Day 3 but i have a couple of questions.

Am very local when it comes to food, i don't eat salad, veggies etc but have been managing.

(1) is it possible for me to add a lil pepper and salt when boiling the Liver, spinach etc?
(2) For the green salad, can i use gabbage, mixed veg with carrots and lettuce and can i steam it a little.
(3) Can i do away with the Tomatoes, i tried, it didnt go through or perhaps boiled the tomatoes?

No vex for my plenty questions.

Would appreciate your help.

Just one day.

I pray that the Almighty God will open all your wombs and when it is time to bring forth your children, it will be easy just like the Hebrew women.

Although am not TTC but i come here to pray along with you guys everytime. Today, i just feel i should say a prayer.

Never give up, let your faith be strong and i know that Christ will put smile on your faces soon.

Baby dust on you all in Jesus name. Amen

Congrats Firsttymum. i knew you were carrying a boy with the amount of strength you have to reply to people et al. He will grow in Gods wisdom, knowledge and understanding and will be a blessing to his generation. Amen

@damsell, sent you pm. Think i followed you and your mum to Christo Rey the day you were leaving. Confirm please

mydreams25:
Good evening adorable mothers. I took my 9mths old son for immunization and he weighed 8.8kg. Pls I want you to clear me on this weight if its ok or underweight and what i need to give him to increase his weight. Pls if you are familiar with normal baby's weight help me out.thanks.

I think the weight is normal. My baby is 9+ 2weeks and he weighs 8.8kg too. Am sure if there is a problem with the weight, the nurse would have called your attention to it. My first son decline at some stage for reasons unknown and when i went for immunisation then, the nurse noticed it and advise what to do even though she said the weight was still normal for his age then.

Cuteaidomo:
Good day all, pls mums in elpaso wats d weather like now? And for those that have been there btw dec and March,pls how's the weather? Does it get really cold? Urgent response needed pls as I intend leaving first week of dec.thanks all.

Was there from Jan 3 to Feb 28 this year. The weather was hot/warm most of the time, get chilly sometimes but snowed only once (the day i had my baby, lol).

babythug:
If he likes it maybe you can continue to add it in moderate quantity. I'm not sure how sugary it is though but i don't see it doing any harm actually!

mummy2be:
it is advised to wait tiII a year

kaffy4bill:
A lil is Kk, as dat makes him take his cereal beta.

Thanks for the response. i tried feeding him without the ovaltine this morning but he refused the cereal, so i added a little to it.

Morning beautiful mothers,

Please is it safe to add ovaltine to baby cereals (he is 9months). My son takes the cereal well anytime i add ovaltine to it.

Just want to confirm before i continue with this habit.

Thanks.

geeteeai:
@ ex elpaso mums/dads,

is there a way to escape getting consent letter from father of child notorised from embassy for baby's passport since elpaso passport agency insist on it .
This is especially more tedious for those families that don't reside in Abuja or Lagos where the consulates are.

There is no way around it for El Paso o. i remember someone based in Edo State then, the husband notarised it with a Lawyer and send, it was rejected. The husband had to fly to Lagos just to notarise the consent letter and send via DHL again. They ended up spending more money.

@favouredmum didnt receive your mail o. Please send it to just2crystal@yahoo.ca

Trust you are fine and the LO
