Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[Jayandmars 0]

Hello Yardies,

I just wanted to once again thank every single person who had something to contribute (directly or indirectly) to assist Jay and myself through this process. We started in August and after lurking for a week or so I joined VJ.com. The information and tips I found here have provided immeasurable help and I don't think we could have done it all so smoothly without you guys. We got police records from 3 countries; I got immunized from scratch; and we had our interview and visa within 4 short months! No RFE's or hitches of any kind. I panicked a few times but there was always someone with good advice to help calm my stressed out nerves.

From the bottom of my heart, thanks.

Unfortunately, I think that this forum has outlived it's phase of positiveness and helpfulness (as far as I am concerned) and is now doing more harm than good. While I won't be coming back, I will definitely update my timeline as applicable so as to help those who follow after us.

Congrats to those getting married, getting approvals and getting pregnant! To those going through difficult times - hang in there. A wise lady used to tell me while cooking our dinner on a kerosene stove in our humble little kitchen back in Jamaica "No worry me child. Only God's salvation lasts forever".

One love.

Mars.

I saw this and can't believe it! It makes me so angry and so sad at the same time. Sending prayers to the friends and families of the victims and also to everyone who has been traumatized by this. It is just so awful

I understand All the best to you and your hubby. Take care and God bless.

Wow what a weekend!

Congrats to Rhonda and Jonesie on the babies!

Congrats to Sonshyne on getting that long awaited visa!

I have just been working alot and finishing up my last class at Arizona State University. I will have my BA in History on May 11. Then it is my 31st birthday on May 24. My goal was to get my Ba by the time I was 30 so I made it! I still need to take my psychology statistics class in July for my 2nd BA in Anthropology. Other than that I am still waiting for a touch, RFE, or my NOA2.

Hugs to my yardie family and much !

P.S. Put me back on that baby list cuz I know when Marlon gets here...

Congrats on being that muh closer to completing your degrees

Thanks Jonesie and Destiny!

Yes, it has certainly been a roller coaster but as my mom always told me, trials only make you stronger! (and more psychotic, bitchy, and snappy!) ROFL Nah, it's not that bad really thanks to VJ, StarGate SG-1, and chocolate!

Wow, so much going on in the last few days. First off, congratulations to all of the moms-to-be!

I don't know if I missed any of the new visa recipients, but congrats!

Congrats to the college-grad-to-be!

My fiance finally received the DS230 that I sent. Both times. He also received something from the embassy, I believe, but he's not at home right now and won't find out what it is until he gets there. Could it be packet 3?

Based on first date of LMP (Mar. 10), I believe due date is Dec. 15. Calling the docs office every day to get a sooner appt. than May 12

CONGRATS MY GIRL

Oh my gosh!!! We have the same due date

Go during your maternity leave. We're planning to go going around the middle of Feb (I know baby needs 6 weeks shots and clearance from doc, and a damn passport ) and probably staying until end of March.

That's a really good idea I know Tony is dying to go back. I wonder if he would be willing to wait that long? This August will be a year since we've been there. Plus he wanted to take the kids some new clothes and buy them their back to school things before school starts up. hmmmm..... I'll have to think about that one.

[rhondapayter 0]

I was thinking the same thing! I wonder if we're both having the same gender baby...

My parents and Tony all say it's a BOY Who knows? I won't know for about 4 more months!!
