Rose, good luck sa pag-ire. Malaki laki pala ang i-iire mo hehe. Be ready na at siguraduhin na complete na ang gamit nadadalhin mo sa hospital kasi anytime pwede ka na mangitlog :)

Brian, ain't it nice to see your baby even in picture? I remember the feeling of the first time we had Zac's ultrasound :)

Doc Gracey, galing naman ni Maizy at mabilis ang development ng katawan nya :thumbs: Si Zac ang bibig ang mabilis ang development. Madaldal, kumakanta, palatawa higit sa lahat matakaw :rofl:

Ako naman I always make Zac wear bib para hindi tumulo yung laway nya sa damit nya. hirap kasi maglaba ng damit lalo na at hinahand wash ko pa dahil sa mga mantsa ng milk. Si Zac din ay nagstart ng magbubbles bubbles yung bibig. Niloloko ko na cya kapag kinakausap ko sabi ko "O, uminom ka na naman ng shampoo? " tapos ngingiti nmana cya :rofl:

He drinks 60oz. of milk na in a day tas pwera pa dun yung 7 kutsaritang oatmeal cereal na hinahalo ko sa bote nya. dati 5 kutsarita lang now 7 na :D Ang estimated weight ko sa kanya now is almost 16lbs. Kasi niweight ko muna yung sarili ko sa digital weighing scale namin tas after nun binitbit ko si zac tas nagminus lang ako sa weight ko. Ayun, 16.2 lbs cya pero may damit cya nun so feeling ko kulang sa 16 lbs. na cya saka yung number 1 na diaper eh mejo masikip na sa kanya kaya bumili na kami ng number 2 :D

Here is a vid of Zac na pinipilit nya kumanta habang naghum ako sa kanya pra makatulog cya. Si Zac na lang pakinggang nyo wag na ako :bonk: :D

I am sorry pero ala me macocontribute sa situation mo kaya lang di ba dapat colostrum muna unang lalabas bago milk? kung nagleleak ka na now, eh papaano yun, e di hindi makukuha ng baby mo ang colostrum? try to ask that to your OB. :)

Magsuot ka ng nursing pads para di tumulo ng tumulo :)


di naman siya tumulo as long as wlang pressure...napansin ko lng siya nung nakahiga ako tapus medyo naipit yung dede ko, taka kami ng hubby ko kc nabasa yung side nia tapus ako din. siguro iwasan ko nalng na magkaroon ng pressure para walang makalabas..thanks wid ur advice..congrats! cute ng baby mo...God Bless!

hi mga mommies, may tanong lang po ako sa inyo..i am on my 19 weeks right now and i started leaking already. i'm pretty sure its a good thing and i am hopeful that i can keep it this way till my baby is around. ang tanong ko ngayon is kelangan ko ba e pump ito para patuloy ang production ng milk or just leave it leaked that way...binibiro ko nalang hubby ko na siya nalang muna magconsume ng milk while the baby is not here yet..lol..,but anyway, does anybody experience this having early milk production?? please share your experience, it's highly appreciated...ingat kayo lahat!!

Hi Brian, I'm 12 weeks pregnant too same as your wife and my morning sickness is really bad also, last few weeks I'm already okey but suddenly since sunday I can't eat again everytime I ate I throw up like 3 times a day I lost weight also my OB ask me if I need a medication I said no because I don't wanna take any medication as possible, but I'm thinking today I need to call my OB if there something that she can do, I can't even go to my work because I'm weak due to my morning sickness, and about the bleeding I don't have any the OB ask last time too if I had any spotting or something but I said no...good luck to us my husband and I hoping it will be over soon soooooo hard... :crying: :crying:



Hi Brian and Preggy lady, i can relate on your problem. i am on my 2nd trimister now but i had a horrible experienced (sort of) during my first trimister. i really felt so frustrated because i throw up alot and nauseated the whole day, so sensitive with smell, so picky with food but im always hungry, heartburn, gas pain..everything drove me crazy and my hubby. Everyone gave their advices and shares their opinion and it helps me alot. i eat crackers, fruits, eat cereal in the morning and drink alot of milk and eggnog for protein. even if i throw up i still tried my best to eat. my ob recommend me to have zantac for heartburn cause i dont like the smell of the tums, then i took unisom before going to bed and it helps me to sleep good at night, it avoid me from dealing with nausea and vomiting at night. i am so glad i am over with it right now, i started to notice alot of changes about the end of my 13 weeks, my appetite is back, i only threw up only few times and i guess it happened when i over eat or my gutt react with the food. dont worry, you will get over it soon since u are in 12 weeks now. about prenatal vitamins i am taking the brand " New Chapter" perfect prenatal, i took 1 tab three times a day, it doesnt give me any problem at all. So far i didnt experienced about spotting, i know my ob mentioned to me that spotting after sex is normal but if it is something bring up concerned to u maybe good to refrain sex till u get your ob's opinion about it. Good luck and take care with the pregnancy :)

Woohoo! Nangitlog na ako !!! kicking.gif

8:00 AM - We arrived in the hospital.

8:30 AM - I was already 6cm but i didn't feel any contraction. They gave me IV

9:00 AM - They gave me Epidural so that I won't feel any labor pain.

9:30 AM
- They gave me Petocin and they break my bag of water.

10:00 AM - I was 8cm already. While I was watching TV in our room, they asked me on what time do I want to start pushing. I told them I want it 12PM because that is the time that Ellen De Generes show is over LOL! The nurses just laughed at me biggrin.gif

11:30 PM
- I was 9 1/2 cm dilated.

12:00 PM - I was exactly 10cm, The Ellen show is over and I was ready to push biggrin.gif

2:34 PM - The baby was delivered through normal delivery. He weighs 7.52 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long kicking.gif and we have another good news! He had his ultrasound and his kidneys are cleared kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif He still needs to see his Urologist though to have his KUB to make sure that there is really no more liquids in his kidneys.

I didn't feel ANY pain at all because they gave me Epi first before Petocin. My husband was with me during the delivery smile.gif Tapos during delivery eh they were wondering kung bakit ako nagpupush sabay tawa LOL! kasi naman ala akong nafeefeel na pain eh nagexpect pa naman ako ng worst pain ever tapos feeling ko tuloy di ako nanganak hehe. Pero salamat talaga dahil ayoko ng pain hehe biggrin.gif

I am soooo thankful to God about this wonderful blessing. Sarap ng feeling lalo na ng nilagay nila sa tummy ko si baby just right after he came out of my tummy. Tapos ang linis nya pa. Akala ko nababalot cya ng maraming dugo pero nagtataka sila bat malinis baby ko pagkalabas nya lol! kasi kaunti langyung dumi tas nung dumating nurse na magpapaligo sa kanya eh napagkamalan nyang napaliguan na baby ko LOL! Nagbrebreastfeed ako at medyo masakit nga sa umpisa pero kailangan tiisin for baby star_smile.gif

I am still here in the hosp. salamat at meron silang WIFI at may pinagkakaabalahan ako dito hehe. I can't post his pic yet kasi may mga certain sites na hindi inaallow ng hosp. na i-open including na dun yung photobucket so siguro when i get home na lang on Sat ko post .

hi to all mommies..salamat sa lahat ng advice nyo, im really looking forward na malampasan ko na ang first trimister kc ang hirap talaga ng walang appetite plus morning sickness and smell sensitivity. Pinagtatawanan tuloy ako ng anak anakan ko kc weird yung kinakain ko, dahil ayoko ang amoy ng kahit anong sauce or marinade pag nagbbq ako asin lng nilalagay ko..tapus pinagpartner ko ang food like banana and peanuts or cracker and strawberry,..hehe medyo weirdo talaga pero eto lng kaya ihandle ng sikmura ko this time kaya pinagtiyatiyagaan ko nlng.Lahat ng favorite food ko dati bago ako nagbuntis ay yun naman ang pinakaayaw ko ngayon...Hay buhay buntis it's not easy but its fun and exciting!!! happy.gif smile.gif


mas weird yata ako sayo ang palagi kong kinakain eggroll as in 6 na eggroll isang kainan lang at ung snickers na chocolate isasawsaw ko muna sa gatas bako ko kainin at since wla ang asawa ko ung last shirt na sinuot nya nde ko pa nilalabhan un madalas ko amuyin take note nung Nov 22 pa un syempre nde nman mabantot un ung amoy lng na bagong paligo laughing.gif



Sis Dianne - Nakakatawa ka naman, pero oh well part of pregnancy. Ganyan din ang reaction ng mga tao dito sa bahay. Kakaiba daw yung mga kinakain ko,mala out of this world rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif . Ang paborito ay tinapay at ang palaman ay ice cream, pero yun nmn talaga dun sa atin sa pinas diba pero dito sa tate tingin nila weirdo rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif at marami pa talagang kaweirduhan sa pagkain. Hay buhay buntis..hehehehehe

Sis Davanj - welcome sa thread nato..Feel at home biggrin.gif . I have been there and done that when it comes to morning sickness. Mas grabe pa nga yung sa akin, buti ka pa at nakakakain ka pero nung first tri ko maski tubig ayaw tanggapin, sinusuka ko talaga agad. I was confined in the hospital twice during my first tri. Super dehydrated ako kasi nga maski tubig di tinatanggap ng sikmura ko..Hay..Thank God nakaranaos na ako sa stage na yun. When I got pregnant ang timbang ko ay 115 lbs pero nung first tri ko grabe yung binaba nung timbang ko, naging 93 paounds nalang..Hay..Super payat talaga ako that time and thankfully ngayon nsa 128 lbs na ako..hehehehehe at magana ng kumain. Ang inisip ko nalang that time lilipas din to after first try. hay..



mas grabe pala sayo no, buti nlng nalagpasan mo na. Hirap talaga ang morning sickness lalo na kakagising mo palang tapus suka agad, ang sakit kaya..Sabi naman ng ob ko, ganyan daw talaga pag first trimister. Kunti lng yung nagain ko this time pero kahit papano nag gain nman ako..Mahirap talaga ngayon kc lagi parin ako gutom tapus ayaw ko naman kainin mga pagkain dito, pati asawa ko naguguluhan kung ano ipapakain sa akin. Medyo nagsasawa na din ako sa crackers and strawberry...hehehe,..Anyway, ingat din sa pagbubuntis...salamat sa pagshare sa amin

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIf petitioner is on welfare

Well, I think the discussion would best be served by evaluating the question.

While it is true that a co-sponsor MAY cure the problem, researching the Pakistani consulate for their typical requirements of sponsorship is in order.

Whether or not a co-sponsor can then overcome 'totality of the circumstances' for issuance of a visa cannot be ascertained in this thread.

That my dear friend is a prime example of an itelligent, well thought out response focusing entirely on factual information.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIf petitioner is on welfare

I had a friend of mine that lived in china for a few years and when he came back to the united states .He discovered he had cancer . Went to the VA hospital had the operation and chemo things. His family was on welfare for about a year. sometimes it is needed. Now he drives truck and his wife who is from South Africa works teaching school. She has a masters degree by the way. Now while I understand at times there are a certain class of people who will not work there are others that cannot work. Maybe this person she is bringing over will some day get her off the welfare rolls. Many times there is a lot more hustle in immigrants than native born americans. That said she does need a co-sponser to make it through this process.



BRAVO, thank you for an intelligent well put, "OPEN MINDED" answer, WJR.


Let me tell you all something. Merry Xmas!!!!!! It is my honest and researched opinion that while there is nothing wrong with being on welfare staying on welfare has a more crippling effect than arthritis. It makes no sense for someone who is on welfare at the current time to be considering an immigrant K1, K2. CR1 visa, unless it is for unscrupulous reasons. The facts will show that the original poster of this subject was seemingly asking for a friend, so it is fair to assume that the person who is actually on welfare has not seen this post, but has posssibly received some feedback from the person who is a memeber here.
Perhaps in my desire to be humorous I failed by insinuating that the lady in question was a single mom w/ 3 kids with diffferent last names. Perhaps if we had more history on the person instead of only second hand information to make inferences from we could better judge. My response was based opn the age old idealogy that a stupid question sometimes garnishes a stupid answer. It makes no sense to anyone that has been through the process and realizes the substantial cost involved with the process to believe that someone receiving either state of federal aid would be in a financial position to complete the process. So oin summarizing my original response it was just a stupid answer to a stupid question, but a question nonetheless. So a good answer might be; I hope said person has substantial financial resources to ado the expected financial obligations that bringing a beneficiariary to this country takes. The fees alone can total into the thousands with transportation costs, passports, documentation collection and such and a decision of this magnitude should definetly be thought through in a thorough manner and with much consideration given to both the financial and time consuming process.
In closing let me say that I wish we had more information and facts on the "petitioner". Perhaps knowing how long she has been on the welfare rolls, age of her children, marriage history, medical history and placement in her schooling would clarify many things and allow me to make a better inference of her situation than from a question without any substantial background knowledge that led me to make my immoral response.
I really just thought it was a stu[id question and gave an intended as humorous response as such.
Than k you for the attention. Guys like me eat it up!!!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIf petitioner is on welfare

If she is aq mother w/3 kids on welfare she should go to the local trailer park bar and meet a husband. She got no business being approved.



That was the most ignorant fu!!ing remark!!!!!! Just because she is on welfare does not mean that she is a low life or less of a human being than you are. I am on disability and have two kids, I was on welfare for 2years before I received my disability. I attend school so that I am able to get a job that my "physical situation" will allow me to support myself, my kids, and my fiance. There is no problem with a person being on welfare if it is needed. And unless you "KNOW FOR A FACT" that she is on welfare just because she does not want to work......then I suggest you shut your FU!!!! mouth. She came here to ask a question and get some advice and help, she did not come here to get knocked down and ridiculed by some AS!HOLE like you who believes all people on welfare are low lifes. Look in the mirror, the only FU!!!! low life I see here would be you, and I pray to God that your fiance realizes what a selfish, ignorant, heartless person you are, and deceides to make a better choice for their life.

The old saying goes......YOU CAN"T CURE STUPID!!!!! and you my friend have just proven that. WJR


WJR,way to go. besides all the unuseful choice of words, I totally agree with you. About 7 years ago, I needed to be on welfare. there are so many things I could also think to say to you, azcactus, but I would not give you the pleasure of all that attention. I know you are welcome to your opinion, but like the old saying goes, if you cant say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

I say what a sensitive bunch of bloats. You all probably think her ( I guess her, it said fiance her) should be approved. Well you can have an opinion and so can I. I was just thinking that instead of worrying about filling out all the paperwork for a petition the person ought to try filling out an application for a job with health benefits ( UFCW) so we don't have to pay for number 4. Oops I mean so her sponsor doesn't have to And about the stupid part. Who is stupid enough to think if u on wefree u gunna get approved/ 3 kids and self Get real!!!!!!

There is no problem with a person being on welfare if it is needed. And unless you "KNOW FOR A FACT" that she is on welfare just because she does not want to work......then I suggest you shut your FU!!!! mouth. She came here to ask a question and get some advice and help, she did not come here to get knocked down and ridiculed by some AS!HOLE like you who believes all people on welfare are low lifes. Look in the mirror, the only FU!!!! low life I see here would be you, and I pray to God that your fiance realizes what a selfish, ignorant, heartless person you are, and deceides to make a better choice for their life.

The old saying goes......YOU CAN"T CURE STUPID!!!!! and you my friend have just proven that. WJR


WJR,way to go. besides all the unuseful choice of words, I totally agree with you. About 7 years ago, I needed to be on welfare. there are so many things I could also think to say to you, azcactus, but I would not give you the pleasure of all that attention. I know you are welcome to your opinion, but like the old saying goes, if you cant say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

I say what a sensitive bunch of bloats. You all probably think her ( I guess her, it said fiance her) should be approved. Well you can have an opinion and so can I. I was just thinking that instead of worrying about filling out all the paperwork for a petition the person ought to try filling out an application for a job with health benefits ( UFCW) so we don't have to pay for number 4. Oops I mean so her sponsor doesn't have to And about the stupid part. Who is stupid enough to think if u on wefree u gunna get approved/ 3 kids and self Get real!!!!!!
Merry Xmas 2 all!!!!!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInviting Guests from Fiancee's Country to Wedding

Thanks for the replies. The father was once denied for a tourist visa, so I think the Uncle believes there will be a better opportunity for his brother to be approved to attend his daughter's wedding.


I would ditto the above, if an invitation is required why does not the Uncle do it, or why has he not done it?


Just tell him to bring the wedding invitation to the interview at the embassy and to have proves of ties back in the Philippines: work, house, car, etc...


But, with the K1, it's hard to know a date ahead of time. Our plan is to have her come out as soon as the visa is approved, and so our wedding plans are quite flexible.

Get 10 wedding invies made with " A DATE" on it. Then he can take the invite to the USE and plead his case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-Sponsor

Hi Azcactus,

Good luck on your immigration journey. In answer to your question (based on my own experience where I had to find a co-sponsor too) the co-sponsor had to cover:
a ) Themselves (The Co-Sponsor)
b ) Any other dependents in their household
c ) The immigrant

As well, you too as the USC (The Sponsor) have to fill out a separate sponsor form as the main sponsor too.

Hope this helps.

Ant

My main question is does a co-sponsor have to make enough to cover everybody or just themselves and the immigrants?
Thanks everyone!!!!
Kevin


The sponsor form is the 134 form, right?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCo-Sponsor
Hi everyone,
I am in prompt need of everything you can share about co-sponsorship. I found out today that I cannot use the SSI that comes into our household as income. Last year I have switched jobs and went from a LOW paying teaching position to one that pays considerably more, but I have only received 10 of the 26 bi-weekly payperiods for this new job. So between the LOW job 1/06 to 7/06 and the higher paying job 8/06 to present I was short on my 125% requirement. I am going to ask my parents to co-sponsor us but need to know what they need to do in order to do so.
HELP!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
My parents = 4, themselves and 2 adopted late in life children
Me= 5, Myself and 4 dependent children
My fiancee = 2, her daughtewr and her self

My neighbors= 3, parents one child
Help me figure out how the dependents are figured and the scenario that would best meet my needs.
My main question is does a co-sponsor have to make enough to cover everybody or just themselves and the immigrants?
Thanks everyone!!!!
Kevin

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInappropriate Touching

How do you know when your application has been touched? I'm assuming the date will change on your Case Status page, but since I have yet to see it i don't know what to expect. I know it doesn't really make any difference (seeing that some get touched several times before the next step, some not at all), but I think I might be a little more at ease if I just knew that someone has actually SEEN the physical file.

Since mine was sent to the CPC I'm guessing it will still be a while before it gets touched. Figuratively and literally speaking.

To ease ur mind a bit mine never changed from the date of NOA 1. I worried and fretted and the NOA 2 received via email.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSurprise! Surprise! Surprise!!!!!
Hi Everyone....Great news, I am going to PI on my trip as planned before she dumped on me. I am looking forward to seeing the sights and have one young (32) lady who has agreed to show me around the area. She is a college grad and works for BPI as an admin asst. and has secured the week off for leave. She really makes me laugh and realize that it's just the nature of the game that somethings don't always work out the way WE PLANNED. Will check back in now and again and maybe better news will follow.As far as the former fiananceme' she and I have agreed to meet to exchange personal documents that we each obtained from the other during the process. I am just glad that she showed her true "qualities of love" before coming to USA. I have read in other forums about those ladies. Hope to gets lots of pics to share.

So how did you meet your mate?

I've known my mate for 4 years before we even started going out. She lived in the US with her sister and we used to go out (me and her along with a few other people) about every other weekend. Nothing special, just going out and having fun as a group. She finally went back to her country and one day I asked her sister what happened to her since I haven't seen her in a long time. Her sister told me that she went back to her country and gave me her phone number if I wanted to call her. I called her and we started talking every day after that.

You see, our relationship didn't materialize in a few days or weeks. It actually took 4 years for us to realize we had feelings for each other.


You are one lucky guy. I would say the majority of us had not had that luxury of meeting a foreigner like that. We use the internet probably.
