Yesterday this forum was SO depressing. Today there's so much energy. See what a few pieces of great news can do!

SoSo - congrat's on the baby news. As for mat leave - you sign your paper work before you leave and what you do after that has nothing to do with them. You can go to Jamaica as much as you wish my dear.
I hope it passes (morning/night sickness too). As for braiding hair - makes me laugh. I got pregnant when I was 18. There were NO bi-racial kids around anywhere (meaning my friends were either white or pretty brown jamaican girls with fairly course or curly hair). so I was worried, how would I do my kids hair! My husband (as you can see on my facebook) is so dark - I'm so white - this kid is going to have CRAZY hair. Yah, apparently my genes are dominant. Take a look at my album and you'll see her - her features are for sure on the JA side - her hair - not an ounce of texture. We have no idea how it happened, but man does she get mad compliments when we're down in JA.
But I was so disappointed, I wanted to braid her hair hehehe

Chelly - man, I never had mat leave and now when I approve mat leaves here at work ... I'm so so jealous. You're right girl - that's definatley a perk of having a baby

Thanks again Jam for the update.

I wish Sassy would login. I think the great new for LDK would help her spirits.

As for 'who's next'? I'm cheering for Sassy and Maple. I think I will cry when they come on here and update us with good news. I'm not sure why, but I am so so feeling for them and keep praying this will all come to a good end for them (well all of you ... but I give them a little extra attention in my prayers as of late).

ok - ring phone ring. KG call someone today!

no that's great and thanks so much for the advice. I will definetly be thinking about staying for X mas this year for a month maybe more... depends... and I assume your MAT LEAVE is just direct deposited into the bank account.

So you were able to get the 2 month old shots, Birth certificate and PP in 2 months of baby being born...... WOW that is great .. I am very excited about this !!!!!

homesoon.... my genes are def strong too.... i have two kids from my previous marriage (also to a jamaican) my daughter looks a bit like me, but she's the darkest of the three... my first son, spitting image of his father, but strawberry blonde... the baby... he's looking like he'll be a redhead too none of them have the least bit nappy hair... more just thicker than mine (which is very thin) and on the curly/wavey side.... so you really never know what you'll get

soso... yes, mat pay is direct deposit... and yes, you register the birth online these days, you apply for the b/c at the same time... takes about 2-3 weeks if all goes well, but it can take longer (they say up to 6 weeks).... we needed ours NOT to take 6 weeks and after nearly 4 i hadn't heard anything about the registration going thru... so i called my MP and they expedited it for me... had b/c by 5 weeks, passport by 7 (he was technically nearly 9 weeks when we arrived)... if your hospital is on the ball and filing their paperwork in a timely fashion (mine was not), you can get it all done in less than 6 weeks easy.... my doctor said that in special circumstances babys can get their 2 month shots a couple weeks early (6w is the earilest).... don't like to do it, but they'd rather give them to them early than not at all...

 

[jamwifey26]

All this baby talk is making me yearn for a baby. I am missing the way it feel to hold one. I think we will have one next year. I think we will make beautiful babies. Hubby says if the baby is dark dark then we are going on Maury....lol YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!

So we are thinking of going to Ocho Rios for our Anniversary getaway. Can anyone recommend a nice but fairly priced hotel there? Man I cannot wait.

 

[chelley]

jammy.... lol... my ex refused to believe our son was his when he was first born (long story, but he was a product of us going out and having a few too many drinks after we'd split up lol).... but of course he's a splitting image of him now....dumbazz... anyways, what's reasonable price range for you? will you guys have a car?

 

[Maple Syrup]

Peace - Congrats on welcoming your hubby home this evening.... Continue to breathe deeply and STRETCH!!! LOL 8)

If only I was a betting woman.... I CALLED IT SOSO!!! LOL!!! Congratulations to you and the big man Mr. SOSO. I think you need a girl to bring some balance to the family... you see me??? Bonne chance!!! I hope you have an easier pregnancy in the later trimesters....Forum family is having its first & 2nd welcome hubby home babies!!! AAAWWWW!!

Somewhere in the distance, Maple can hear the faint sound of her clock.....tick......tock.....tick.....tock...

 

[jamwifey26]

ChellY: No we wont have a car. I cant drive and hubby hates driving here. We do have a "taxi man" who is a family friend who chauffeurs us around. Anywhere between 50-100 CDN a night would be great.

MAPLE: You are too funny breathe and stretch...lmao

 

[Soso-2-di-whurlll]

Oh Maple.... You are still young and hubby is yonge.... It will happen when the time is right.... Maple you planning on going back anytime soon..... The fiyah Chief's 399 vacations days must be up soon??? LOL

I just wish I could eat cause I am sooooooo HUNGRY...... but I don't have the appetite like usually have.... I am being fussy and I am never fussy... and I am CRAVING strange foods..... like orange juice and BREAD....... I love meat but for some reason I cannot eat it now.....

Did any of you experience these weird food experiences?? Like I have heard of cravings for pickles... but BREAD and OJ...... and no meat....... strange.......

 

[lonelycanadianwifey]

[chelley]

soso.... i ate pancake batter at least once a day with my daughter... ugh lol

jammy... i'm thinking fishermens point... they have a "resort" and private rentals should find something under 100.... i like the location for you if you dont have a vehicle of your own... some of the girls might know of a few guesthouses that would work for you too...

maple... lots of time

 

[jamwifey26]

I used to crave lime and salt Used to sleep with a huge bottle of salt by the bed. It was done by the time I had my daughter. I used to crave crabs too.

 

[Soso-2-di-whurlll]

yeah JAM me too... SALT like crazy me too.... my husband tells me he is going to call intervention on me for sweety and salty stuff....

And get this... good laugh.... when I took the test at home to confirm the pregnancy...
I came out of the bathroom crying..... and instead if my husband grabbing me and crying with me... he stops dead in his tracks and says.... SOSO, it all makes sence now.... no wonder I was so tried all the time! (INSERT JAW DROPPING OPEN with a dumb A$$ look on MY FACE) I said how in the rass can me being pregnant make you feel tried.
He said when a ooman is expecting the father feels sleeepy and lazy..... WHATEVER!

I work all day and come home to my 6 year old... and when you are not working in the day you can sleep and lounge around all day! I do not feel sorry for him ..... I am TRIED NAH RASS
