I know 3/4 of Trump's campaign was showmanship but some things go change for either better or worse, any loose ends need to be tied though.

hello mamas and papas. e ku election o. just want to share my baby passport experience in case it helps someone.

i applied for baby's u.s. passport at a post office in irving, texas. paid 165$. also snapped his passport photograph there. passport was mailed to me in exactly 2 weeks.

At this time I was in missouri and my host in texas mailed the passport to me only for me too check it and see that a mistake was made with regards to baby's gender. I called the passport office help line and was told to mail it to their New Hampshire office which deals with all things expedited.

I filled the form for correction of errors (DS something, can't remember) and sent it along with a cover letter birth certificate, the passport and consent form (the helpline people I spoke with were divided as to whether I should include this or not but I did anyway since hubby sent 2 copies initially).

mailed the package on a Monday via overnight delivery and I got it back on friday. All this was at no extra cost (except the postage fee sha).

cheers everyone!

I spent three months with a friend who we had gone to school tegether...Pry sec and Uni. Hadnt seen her in years since she left Naija just before our NYSC. I help with dishes - ALL the time, trash, her daughter, cooking etc. she was also pregnant and due in sept while i was due in June. wen i was leaving naija i called her and asked what she wanted me to bring for her. she said nothing. but i took dried fish and garri and plenty weave on and attachment. cos i dint wan to take smthg she wldnt use. those three months were lovely. we had a good time to catch up on gist and all. I tell people the help and assistance she gave me and support while i was with her and her fmly, i cannot ever pay her back. She was TOO GOOD to me. I always pray for her. Now that i am praying and planning for number 2 next yr, she has told her husband in advance and gotten his permission for me to stay with my one year old plus son! You have to be helpful and not be a burden to anyone you stay with, family or not! my two cents!

Don't make any payments until you get to the hospital.
You never can know you might want to change hospital or doctor when get there.

Congratulations on you on your successful visa approval. You are welcome to this family of wonderful mamas and papa's with America dreams.



Dxbconnection:
Hello All,

This post is long overdue. To say I am a silent reader is an under-statement. Every single time you see 'and so so guests' I am one of those guests.

I started following this thread in 2011 when my best friend since forever and I decided to have a baby. grin . A daughter we would name Mercedes!!! (Do not judge me.. I was watching Glee at the time) Anyway last year we got married and now we are going to have a baby May 2017. Rest assured, baby name has changed.

My visa story is not eventful. I have always had US visa, but this renewal early this year got me worried because i had just moved to another country and hadn't even worked up to 4 months. I considered going to My husband's visa was still valid by a few months, mine by 3 weeks, but we decided to renew same time to streamline.

Usual questions- where do you work etc etc. When did you get married, do you have family (My husband's family is in Chicago). She then spent a surprising amount of time asking us which countries we had visited before....in great details. Anyway visa was granted. I was not pregnant then.

I contacted some hospitals in Chicago because I know that people in America do not really understand our need to pay for 'free' services. The best I did was to give them the numbers to make calls for me because who has money for long distance calls.

The cheapest option I have so far is an all inclusive package of 3500. Except epidural of about 650 and pediatrician. I do not have a quote yet for this but it shouldn't be a lot.

"Friend" is the operative word here... we choose our friends but our families? What we see is what we get..If we search ourselves, we'd realise we get along way way better with our friends than our relatives... our friends judge us less, they don't count scores, shared goals & aspirations made us come together.. we most often than not (unless the friend is evil) get together with our friends more than our cousins, aunts etc...

My friends took joy in cooking for me when I just put to bed but my relative saw it as a great inconvenience... If I'm to choose, anyday anytime... I'd prefer to stay with friends..

Thank you once again(you know yourself).. kiss kiss
