Yeah, we thought about that, but since vistor visa are so unpredictable we decided to do k2 and they try for a vistor when she returned, so they can see that we do send her back.

I'll let you know how that works - we are going to be doing that with Jr in a couple weeks.

Oh JG when you said "chi chi" that reminds me.... When Louis and I went out to the island to go to "reggae sunday" this summer... I was standing to him (real close I must say) and talking. This girl yells to him from about 6 feet away... "hey mon" in her best Jamaican accent... "You from Jamaica mon"... "yeah mon"... Oh she sounded like a drunk idiot... He said "no I am from st lucia" ... she says "WHERE???" "What are you a chi chi man".... Louis says "EXCUSE ME?" He only knew what it meant cause his roomate in SLU was Jamaican. Oh her face went blank and she said sorry and turned away...
I think she thought she was all cute talking in "patois".... she almost got her #### kicked! Whoooa!

Oh I can't stand these girls sometimes!

Portland dont tek her and mek worries for you and your husband. Just let him do what he has to do for the child and ignore her. Its sad when women act like children...

I am trying, I am fighting hard not to write her an email myself, not rude and disrespectful but for her to understand her behavior is very immature, and at the end of the day its her daughter that is being affected the most by her action.

I don't think she will see it that way.... so you will only be upsetting yourself. She apparently is so closed to you that she won't even read it - even woman to woman. It's clear she is not accepting of your marriage - definitely the baby's loss.

Why baby-mama called hubby and chewed him a new one because he emailed her asking if I can pick up the baby 1 day when I am there this weekend and get some updated pictures...!!

She told him if he and his wife want pickney we need to have our own and leave her daughter alone.....

Hubby call and told me he was done unless she called back and apologized then he is leaving her and her daughter alone..

I feel caught in the middle, and I hope she is not stupid enough to keep his child away from him because he is married!!

Sorry Portland...what a stress. She will truly be hurting that baby if she decides to cut her daddy out of her life....... but woman can be so territorial with their babies. So apparently the K2 is not going to happen either?

Got this in an email and thought I would share:

QUOTE

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".

No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage ..... And old cars .. And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents.

We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it..

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words
and a smile can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.
I LOVE YA!!!

Thanks for this....

I was hoping it would be sort of "heart warming" ... no so much.

Yardies

I was in the ER last night

I started bleeding. Scared me bad. The Kaiser nurse said to go to the closest ER. I drove myself and they hooked me up to all the monitors.
Baby's heartbeat is okay, no contractions, they did an ultrasound and everything looks okay. The bleeding stopped and they sent me home and told me to take it easy until my regular pre-natal appointment on Monday.

I am so thankful that baby is okay, but right now all I can think is they are not going to let me go to JA and see Astley.
I cry every time I think that... I know the baby is most important, I know that... but it's been 6 months since I've seen my man and I am scared.
I just want to curl up in his arms and know it will all be okay... I hate that my country won't let him come see me. I hate that he is so far away.
I hate that the embassy won't respond to me and there is NOTHING I can do but lay here and take it.

I understand how you're feeling, but chica you have to de-stress, it's the worst thing for your body and the baby. Find whatever is your stress reliever and go to it now.

I can't vouch for exactly how he makes it - But he chopped up onions, peppers, and tomatoes - one scotch bonnet - sauteed them in a pan with some oil - added in the saltfish and spaghetti (uncooked) with a little water, covered and cooked until the spaghetti was done - kept stirring and adding a bit of water if it dried out

No ketchup??

Congrats Pecky and Shrewd... I'm so excited for you too! I'm glad things were relatively painless for you!

I'm beginning to freak out- so any advice would be appreciated. McKoy's medical is Thursday. This Wednesday is a national holiday- Ash Wednesday- and everything will be closed. We still don't have McKoy's interview letter and I called NVC on Friday and they were very clear in telling me, regardless of the medical, they will not email the letter any earlier than one week before the interview (March 10). So basically, I need to have the letter faxed to McKoy by the end of the business day on Tuesday- so I need to have it waiting in my mailbox when I get home from work tomorrow...

So... what if it isn't there? Does anyone have any ideas on who I can contact or what I can do before the end of the day Tuesday?!

Thanks!
