Sounds like he has to do some growing up, however he is getting everything paid for, might be time to cut the cords (atleast some). I wish my parents would do anything close to this like say a "down payment for our first house". I do not use facebook as I think it causes problems but when I did have it my whole family was on it. "shame on him" haha

what document did they lose? maybe you will be able to retrieve it by then and if not bring something that says it has been sent and not received. That really sucks :(

Oh that reminds me of last summer, my husband was renting a house in hanover pa, and the first bill he got was 800 dollars as there was a small flood then the next bill was 300 dollars, and the one after that 300.Each water bill is for a period of 2-3 months For One person and he doesn't shower at home, the next door neighbors who had a household of 4 people and two children had a water bill of 150. It was ridiculous no wonder he moved haha

Don't be worried, I am sure you'll do fine!! :)

CanadaAugust Interviews Crew - AOS Journey

The biometrics appointment is really easy. They don't even ask you questions - just take your fingerprints and photograph. I was in and out in 5 minutes.

I juts went to the bank today with my hubby. We opened up a joint bank account. All I needed was my passport, SSN and I brought my marriage license just in case. Another super easy transaction. Now all I need is a job so I can put money into my account!

I am working on my resume and patiently waiting for my EAD.

I posted a topic on the forum concerning applying for a drivers license. I wonder if it's better to wait for my AOS to arrive? The DMV site says 'apply within 10 days of receiving residency or special privileges.'

Anyone attempted to get their license yet? Vero, I know you were denied, and a girl I know had to retake her driving test before she was accepted. I hope this isn't the case. I had a heck of a time passing the driving test in Canada (teenage nerves!!!) and do not want to go through that again any time soon!!


I know I am a cr-1 and Not a k-1 but I just got my ssn and I think we will be going on saturday to try to get my MD license. I will tell them where to go if I have to redo the driving test heck i just did one 2 months ago and I too have teenage nerves without the teenage hood.I am pretty sure your canadian license is good for a set time, My insurance company usaa said I have one year to get a us license.

CanadaWaiting for our passports from Montreal

- Log into www.usvisa-info.com and check whether your/your husband's name and phone number is there.
- Check whether it shows Brampton as the pick up location.
- There should be a reference number on that page. Take that reference number and track it through www.dhl.ca. After this point, you dont need to check the website www.usvisa-info. ever again! Dont rely on them for your package status as they are very slow to update things.
- When the package has not been shipped yet, it will say nothing found for that reference number on dhl.ca. Done worry :)
- On your package's tracking page when it finally reaches Brampton and status says says "Undeliverable", call up the Brampton DHL 1-905-452 5900 and ask them if your package is ready to be picked up.

My wife's pickup location was also Brampton and I was checking/tracking the package through usvisa-info and DHL once every hour all last week after her interview on Tuesday :)
Her interview was on Tuesday and the package was picked up by DHL at Montreal Thursday evening at 7:45 PM and it was "undeliverable" Friday 7:00 AM :)


Have to agree with said instructions. The use of DHL was brand new when I got my passport but I actually got a phone call from Brampton in less then 48 hours. SO You will either get a call or she it on Dhl.ca. When you talk to dhl they will give you the waybill number to pick it up with :)

I'm doing ok with clomid I take 50mg so pretty low. I had all the fun test hsg,blood work, some ultrasound with dye, checked my ovaries at that time. I had to have polyps removed and he did a d&c sent it off and the results were that I wasn't ovulating regularly for awhile. The polyps were the cause of my m/c in Nov. For monitoring I was kinda surprised he didn't want to do any more ultra sounds. But he figures I just need a it of a jump start. Maybe that is why. Clomid has made me a bit more emotional but that is pretty much it.

Are you seeing a fertility doctor or your ob?

Im seeing a OB at the hospital but she works hand in hand with a Fertility doctor. From what they can tell so far I am not ovulating monthly. I have not had a dye test yet but I have had blood work and an ultrasound.

 

I keep wondering if my doctor screwed up me when she did my D&E when I had my misccariage( at 16 weeks) in July last year since then I have had no luck getting pregnant.

 

I switched OB's a few weeks ago due to her not wanting to do any testing. 

 

so we have a few more tests to go through but she is thinking she will end up putting me on clomid. I have an appointment on the 12th

That is great Marilyn so happy for you.

 

Looks like I won't be joining you ladies just yet, AF showed her ugly head late but she came just the same. Round two of clomid hoe this will be the month.


 

Probably, most women I met said they had the OB or the Pedi's write it with returning to work comments.


 

Hey ontarikie! 

 

how are you feeling well on clomid? are they observing you via ultrasound? 

 

It looks like I will start it in the next few months since Im not frigging Ovulating

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. My husband won't be getting employment medical insurance until October when it kicks in. I just found out I'm pregnant! I want to get it verified by a clinic, and I was thinking of using Planned Parenthood. Am I allowed to use their services? I guess I want to get confirmation first that I am pregnant and I will need to see a Dr. before my husband gets insurance. Is PP considered government assistance?

 

You can use PP and you can also check around your area for womens clinics. They are usually pay scale based and are not considered government assistance .

canadiangal, how exactly were you supposed to know that your baby "wasn't as big as would be picture perfect"? Wow. Again it reminds me that there are things in medical science that are beyond our control.

AFM, I think my body has finally decided that hanging onto water is not completely necessary and that I will drink more. I had gained almost 5 pounds since I had the positive pregnancy test, but now I am down to having gained only 3 pounds.


Yeah how big your child is matters yet how does one know without an ultrasound lol.

Our friend got hers done at 32 weeks and they told her she came too late.

The good thing is that most places will give you a redo if the baby is not in a good position.

I keep changing my mind on a middle name to go with Emily. My latest thought was Emily Helen.. Helen for my favourite grandmother who died a few years ago. My husband said that it is an option .. :P

We still have not agreed on a boy's name. he vetoed William..

have any of you considered doing that 3D/4D ultrasound? We re thinking abut doing it around 25 weeks...


I had 3d/4d done at 29 weeks. They say the best time is between 26-32 weeks. When I went at 29 weeks they gave me the stink Eye as I carry small babies, I got tons of pictures and they turned out great but close ups were not great. they suggested I come back at 33 weeks.

You lost 10 pounds at first, or by the end of it all? I am just wondering since I am kind of underweight


With ds1 I gained 14 pounds my entire pregnancy . I have always been underweight (96 pounds) but as long as you are eating then you should be ok.

With ds2 I gained 34 pounds.

Both boys were and are healthy as a fiddle.

I made a birth plan strictly to avoid having an Episiotomy and to make sure that No medical students were allowed to be in my room. I brought it to the hospital but never used it because my doctor knew my wishes and was pretty good about everything. I was induced so any of my other requests went out the window pretty quick, I did however want an epidural with both my deliveries.. I am a wimp and proud of it :)

Thank you. She was 5 lbs, 8 oz at birth, born at 37 weeks 6 days on July 14, 2012.

She spent 12 days in the NICU for various minor issues, but is doing very well now.


Awe what a beautiful name. NICU is great in so many ways but drives you insane while their in there. I am glad she is doing well now :) Congrats

I think 25 is an excellent age. You are mature enough and know what you want and you are pretty stable, but you are also young enough to have plenty of energy for a little one!! 47 isn't bad for a grandmother...my SIL was a gma at 36!

We are going to try the ovulation kits for the next cycle, I don't want to be having kids and grand kids close in age. And with the oldest boy turning 21 this year that can happen.

Any recommendation on what brand is better and such.


I Orginally used first response kit when we got pregnant with Levi it was easy to read but you do have to compare lines. This time around we used clear blue digital, it was worth it as again first month using kits and I got pregnant plus it was easy to read ... A circle is negative and a smile face is go time. Digital was a tad more expensive than the other kits.
CanadiandggalFemaleCanada2012-05-04 19:37:00

I do keep track of my cycle somewhat..

I have been pregnant twice before and both times it only took a few months of trying. but I am guessing it is more difficult now because I am older, the PCOS and there might be an issue with my husband too.. :unsure:


It took us a few years to conceive levi, but the first month that we used a ovulation kit as well as charting, We got pregnant. I have a few medical conditions and the hubby has a low sperm count. I love ovulation kits lol

On a side note I have to go back to the Canadian certificate topic.....

For those of you who have done it or are in the process of doing it... did you send photocopies or did you send originals? or did you go to a person to get certified copies? When I first read the instructions I thought it said photocopies were fine but when I reread the paperwork a little while ago it looks like they want originals or certified copies. How much will this cost? what did you do?
