Hello house, wow! I had to read all the pages of part 3 to catch up! Learnt a lot, been screen munching, my phone don full with NL munch, lol...How's everyone doing? Congrats to those who just delivered, have finished their missionary journey and got their visas(thank God say I don pass visa stage) now patiently waiting for my LO to come... Boredom and cold don finish me for Chicago... I advice those coming should check for the weather and pack appropriately oh(packed maternity free gowns) so I had to spend a lot on thick clothes/jacket/boots. Anyway! I will update as things go on. Thanks to all the gurus( nerf, modath, lady G, Phema, tvegas, and those who answered my many jjc questions) God bless...

Hello NL,

So i came in into the US on monday. My flight was smooth until i started have contractions 3hrs to landing.am not even close to due. I was pratically in distress. I prayed my way through. Prophesying and talking to my LO not too disgrace me..lol. i made sure i was composed n didnt alert d flight attendants.i will forever be grateful to God for d miracle

I couldn't help but laugh out loud! I can only imagine what was going through your mom's mind.
I'm the one who shared the story about my baby. She's 9mths now and doing great with her hearing aids. It's been a long, emotional, expensive and trying experience, but I can only continue thanking God for the American opportunity. My husband took my son to our hospital in Lagos and bumped into my doctor. After telling him about our situation, this man told him that the white people just wanted to collect our money that there's no way they can detect hearing loss at that age. More reason to keep thanking God!
Anyways, please to all the preggie moms, include the $350 for hearing test to your budget, it is not a waste.
A parent whose son is completely deaf and will need cochlear implants as reached out to me recently, so it's not as uncommon as we might think. I hope he'll share his own experience soon enough.
@ shelly23,The Lord is your Strength baby girl would do just fine,thanks for sharing your experience with the house,i remember declining the hearing test aswell and making unnecessary loud noises to see if my LO would react,he just couldn't be bothered @ d time and would continue whatever he was doing,i got so worried and started to question myself if $350 was worth my LO sense of hearing,I would definitely do the hearing test for future babies.

Hello All. Myself ,DH and two kids arrived Houston this morning 13th December using United Air. Saw like 3 other preggies as well.Below is my POE experience .
DH- asked CBD how are you
CBD- fine. Can I have your passport .After going through the passport he just asked we differentiate between my daughters on the passport cus they look alike and they aren't twins.
CBD- how long are you here for
DH- 6 weeks with 1 kid and DW 4 months with I kid.
CBD- turns to DW why are staying that long (Already accessed me from afar knowing am peeggy )
DW- Because of child birth .
CBD- how much cash you have on you.
DH- we told him and he said ensure you keep all receipts and pay all bills.tooke our finger prints and said bye.
After baggage collection wahala started. Because we had more than $ 10,000 that we declared on landing card they told us to go and fill a form. After filling the form, they started interviewing again that why did we have so much money and we said cus DW will be here for long and will give birth. Then they said the money is even too small . I said well I still have cash on my atm and I have my statement from my bank. They took the statement in came out and said okay we can all go after they had photocopied our passports.
To God be the glory forever and ever amen .
