BTW, Do I need an immigration attorney to prepare the Affidavit?

Does it really necessary to submit an Affidavits sworn to of people who have knowledge of your marriage and relationship? Should it be notarized?

Plan to submit my papers tomorrow but don't have one of this yet.

Any help is very much appreciated!

hi mga mommies! want to share Ethan's first Easter egg hunt @ church...

Pink - 8 1/2 months na si Ethan. He now weighs 20 lbs. yup, hindi sya mataba di rin payat pero mabigat na rin. I don't know how you call it

in Tagalog pero sa Cebuano dialect we call it "ugdang".

Brettane - i-enjoy mo si baby ngayong new born palang sya, they all grow sooo fast before you know it they don't want to be held anymore. like

my son, he wants to spend most of his time now on the floor crawling. Just keep talking to him. the baby's coos and smile are so

priceless.

sweetpink, laki na ni baby mo. I can't wait na rin na makipaghabulan kay Zac. Ask ko lang, hindi ba maamoy rubber yung mat na inuupuan nya? Kasi gusto ng dad-in-law ko na bumili ng ganyan for Zac din pero kasi ayoko ng amoy nya hehe. Pero kung di naman maamoy rubber eh ok lang. Maamoy ba?

Meron ba ditong nakatry na ng Your baby can read? I am planning on buying for Zac since he loves watching TV and loves to daldal so we are thinking that he might learn faster using that educational software tool. Mejo may kamalahan cya kaya gusto ko muna ask kayo kung meron na bang nakabili nun dito at kung effective ba?

Pink I think kung brand new yung mat maamoy rubber talaga. itong ginagamit nang baby ko ngayon eh sa nephew to nang hubby ko nung baby palang sya. you can wash it before using para medyo matanggal yung amoy. I want to buy an additional one sa e-bay this time gusto ko yung numbers mat.

I just purchased the baby can read last month. for the first couple of weeks eh medyo short lang ang attention span na binibigay nya every time I read him the flash cards and the book part pero mas gusto nya yung video.

RR - 8 months and 2 weeks old na ang baby ko. he can't walk all by himself yet kailangan mo pa syang hawakan but he can pull himself na on the furnitures around the house.

Riza - nakakagigil yung baby mo at ang lakas tumawa.

RR - I didn't notice that the video was set to private. Anyhow, I already changed it to Public viewing

here's the video that I made for my mama and brother in the Philippines...sensya na it's a 6 mins. video kaya masyadong mahaba

i dont think you can give him pain reliever before the vaccines kasi after the vaccines eh the pedia will prescribe the medicine so im not sure kung may mabibili ka bang pain relver na di kaylangan ng prescription. its normal na lagnatin ang babies after shots but it depends sa baby kasi baby ko di nilagnat.

It was my baby's pedia who give me the instruction to give Tylenol a few minutes before the shots and cold compress too. Tylenol and Motrin can buy over the counter kahit walang prescription just make sure to follow the doses. Ever since, my baby never really had a fever after vaccines. Only penicillin and antibiotics that needs prescreptions.

Hehehehe..Ewan ko sa pisngi niya ata nilalagay lahat ng kinakain niya :rofl: :rofl:

Update lang sa baby ko. She had her appointment today with her pedia. She is now weighing 11.14 pounds and 22 1/2 inches long. Sabi ng pedia niya eh she is a healthy baby. Natutuwa siya sa progress niya. Sabi niya she is in the normal range with regards to weight and height sa age niya at natutuwa naman kaming mag-asawa. I'm so proud with hubby too kasi tatay na tatay talaga siya. Siya taga karga, siya taga tahan, taga palit ng diaper, taga burp..hay ang sarap ng feeling kapag nakikita mo ang asawa mo na hands on sa baby.hehehehe..

Binigyan din siya ng 4 vaccines today. Nakalimutan ko yung mga pangalan :bonk: she got 3 shots and one by mouth. Hay kawawa ang baby namin today kasi everytime na gagalaw siya eh kumikirot mga binti niya, sana mawala na to bukas. Tylenol lang binibigay namin sa kanya at sana makatulong kasi parang iiyak na rin ako..Mga mommies anu ba ang ginawa niyo aside sa pagbigay ng pain reliever sa mga babies niyo nung binigyan ng vaccine?

I give my baby a Tylenol 15 mins. before the shots to minimize muscle pain. Once we get home I wrap an ice cub in a piece of cloth and do a cold compress on the area where he got shots.

May tanong ako sa mga mommies na kumakain na yong baby nila ng baby food. Normal ba sa babies na pag pinapakain eh at first parang ayaw nila? How many feedings ba normally before magustuhan nila yong baby food what ever flavor man yon. Kasi si Jacob everytime I feed him talagang di maipinta yong mukha nya, tapos talagang kino-close nya yong bibig nya pag pinapakain ko..tapos kahapon nag throw up pa sya.

may mga pagkain na sa umpisa ayaw nila yung lasa pero later they will learn to like it. tiyaga at pasensya lang Evelyn. sanay kasi sila sa baby bottle at hindi pa nila na ga-grasp yung idea of spoon feeding. Yung baby ko he prefers the yogurt cereal but I also want him to try the rice and rice with mixed fruits and the other types of cereal that has the essential nutrients that he needed pero hindi nya masyadong gusto yung texture so what I did is to mix the rice cereal with his favorite fruits like gerber mango, applesauce, yogurt(banana/strawberry)....He used to like sweet peas too pero ayaw na nya ngayon but vegetables are good so what I did right now is to mix the peas with sweet potato, gerber's turkey/chicken with gravey and to other foods that he pretty much like.

LasVegas - napa cute nang baby mo. keep posting your baby's picture as he progress

abbie - Welcome on this forum and just keep posted of all your concerns and take care

RR - glad to hear from you again. hope you will have a full recovery soon

Pink & Evelyn - oo nga ang bilis nang panahon @ ang bilis nilang lumaki. yung baby ko gustong-gusto nang tumayo at ayaw na magpa iwan sa room all by himself when he's awake. gus2 nyang palagi syang nasa walker so he can follow us wherever we go around the house. "Mr. Congeniality" din tawag namin sa kanya kasi when we go outside gustong-gusto nya na kinakausap sya nang ibang mga tao.

BTW, Nakakatuwa tingnan yung pictures nang mga babies natin kasi they all look like their mommies but with an upgrade version

heheheh...ang cute ng outfit...

yan ang team namin dito sa cleveland..!!!cavaliers!!!...

my hubby was born and raised in Ohio...he just moved down here in Florida last 2006

here is an update of my now 8 months old son. no more baby car seat and getting started for his basketball career with dadday's fav team Cleveland "CAVALIERS"...

I met my hubby online and we got a baby. We met 2x and on the 2nd time we met i got pregnant since that we consulted a doctor too. He was married w/ his ex-wife for almost 15yrs and they nver hv there own child coz his ex is not capable of having a child thats y they adopted 2 children frm China. My hubby loves his 2 adopted children so much na nandun sa ex-wife nya ngaun. Ang hindi k lang matanggap ay hindi nya kayang ipagtanggol ang anak namin mismo laban sa ex-wife nya. Now, we got a baby and his ex-wife is so insecure and always confronting him if its really his child. He is still nice w/ his ex coz his ex is using his children against him. And he's scared that his ex wl take the children away from him not the distance but the feelings of the kids against him. The ex is brainwashing d kids mind. Sobrang sakit para sa akn kc hndi nya kmi kayang ipagtanggol laban sa ex nya pti mga ampon nya tanong din ng tanong sa knya. At parang mas mahal nya pa ang ang mga ampon nya compared to his own blood. I even had a fight w/ his ex by email few weeks ago kc hndi k na nakayanan ang sama ng loob ko. Laging ganun ang pinag-aawayan namin kc hndi nya kayang lumaban at ipagtanggol kmi sa ex nya. Iniiyak k na lang ang sama ng loob ko. Pati baby namin iyak ng iyak sa tuwing may argue kmi kht tahimik lang ang pag-aaway namin.

By the way i've been hr since last year and our baby is 5 months old and he was born here. My mother in law is good to me. He said he love me but he can't defend us from his ex. Its been few times too na sinabihan nya akong maghiwalay kami sa tuwing nag-aaway kami but i am not afraid of it. Nagkasala kc siya sa ex niya dati kaya sila naghiwalay. Ilang beses ko na rin syang kinausap kong bakit hindi nya kami kayang ipagtanggol, ang sagot nya sa akin ayaw lang daw nya ng gulo dahil pagod na siya sa kakapunta sa korte. Dahil ang ex niya attorney agad ang punta at dahil maraming pera kaya madali lang para sa kanya. Now i am so confused and tired of crying baka mamatay ako sa atake sa puso sa sobrang sama ng loob. My question is :

If ever we get divorce ma-deport ba ako since that i only have 2 yrs green card ? In that case, can i bring my son with me back to the Philippines ?

Thanks in advance..

go for a Paternity test at isampal mo sa pagmumukha nang ex nya...

and according to you that he said na "pagod na sya sa kakapunta sa korte"? Well, if he's not willing to fix the situation, history will repeat itself at talagang babalik sya sa korte for the divorce of your marriage...

Sorry you have to undergo this...you have my sympathy!

RR- never thought that behind those bubbly posting you had here, were heavy load on your shoulder...all this shall pass and you will have a happy life with your family

any mommies here na may plano na bumili nang "your baby can read" program?

what a sad story...condolence to the family

Hi All,

I'm still in pain, physically and emotionally. I loss our babies (naniniwala kami na kambal ang ipinagbuntis ko) right when I passed two pieces (but connected to each other) thumb size blood clots on Saturday night. After my husband and I looked at it he then told me that I miscarried. Yesterday, we went to the doctor and even though we already knew (but we still hoped) ang sakit parin when the doctor told us that they can see no babies in the ultrasound (vaginal). There were no babies at all. Ang sakit...tapos during ultrasound, we found out that I had an ectopic pregnancy (also known as tubal pregnancy or an extrauterine pregnancy) which the reason why I was bleeding with cramps and lower back pain. We're so sad that we loss our babies but we are also thankful to God that I'm already safe now. Masakit...at nakakalungkot na nawala ang babies namin pero nagpapasalamat narin kami sa Diyos na kusa silang natanggal. Kasi kung hindi, kahapon din mismo tuturukan agad ako ng gamot to end my pregnancy which would be very difficult for us to let the doctor kill our babies.

Binigyan din ako ng OB ko ng Methotrexate shots (on my hips) to stop the tissue cells from growing. Kinuhanan din ako ng blood to test my hCG level and pap smear to determine infection and abnormality on my cervix and thank God the results were fine except my hCG level was high (6,000).

Pero, they're still gonna do some more lab tests on me bcoz the doctor too found out that my fallopian tube is enlarge and this one makes us really feel nervous as hell as we know this is more complicated.

Masakit ang tusok ng mga karayom sa katawan ko....pero mas masakit sa dibdib na nawala ang mga babies namin.

RR, thank you so much for asking me if my baby and I were ok....our babies are gone. Pero happy na rin kami coz we got to see them.

I just read your post today. I am saddened for your loss. No words of consolation can ease your pain right now but PRAYERS does. ****hugs****

thanks sweetpink! sinubukan naming tumawag kanina sa OB which i have an appointment with next week pero close clinic nila. kaninang umaga medyo malakas pero nitong tanghali medyo humina na siya kaya lang masakit ang puson ko but thank God coz its not that bad...yon bang pain kapag magkakaroon tayo...pero kapag hindi pa tumigil ang bleeding padala na ako sa hospital tomorrow. pero sana mag-stop na siya coz its freakin' me out.

pain+bleeding..parang may mali na talaga sa nararamdaman mo ngayon. Don't wait for one more day, you need to go to the hospital now!

good evening mga mommies...

ask lang ako kung nakaranas ba kayo ng spotting during pregnancy? at anong kulay? ilang araw at ano yong naramdaman nyo? meron kasi ako ngayon, nung una kong punas kanina light siya tapos nagcr ako ulit at nung nag wipe ako medyo darker siya at may kasamang maliit and sticky blood. mga mommies normal lang ba ito? im really worried

when I was pregnant and around the same weeks as you are right now, I had "pinkish" discharge but it just happened once. As the fetus is growing, your uterus is expanding too so our body is undergoing so many changes. But every case is different, my thoughts to you is to contact your OB to be on a safer side.CONGRATS! and you take care of your self....keep posted

School Receptionist was my first job. After a couple of months I requested if I could work in a classroom as an assistant teacher (since I have the experience back in the Philippines), it was granted after a month. Still on the same job until now for almost 2 years.

Why dont you try the birth control shot kung ayaw mo mag pills. Ask mo OB mo about it, ako kasi yun ang plano ko kasi yun ang ginagawa ng sister in law ko and my friend sa pinas. Every 3 months ang shot nun. Di kna mag woworry kung ma miss mong mag take ng pills sa isang araw and besides takot din ako mag pills, ayaw ko rin ng rubber kasi first time ng asawa ko gumamit nyan eh nagka UTI ako (di pa kami married nun) kaya di na naulit. Question ko rin, hanggang kelan ba safe mag "S" pwede pba ngayong 33 weeks na ko? hehe.

for as long as walang complication ang pagbubuntis mo ok na ok pa 'yan. I remember when I was 37 weeks pregnant cge pa rin kami nang cge.

BTW, in pertinent to the question of when to have sex again after having a baby? I was 4.5 weeks me and my hubby both can't wait..and waiting sucks!

It's ok to have a conversation of this matter for as long as we abide the rules and regulations of this forum (I think!)
