Colleens, talk to her all the same. Explain to her - even if you don't think she understands - what you are doing and why. Tell her in words about the baby and about you going away for a few days to have the baby and then coming home again with the baby. Surprisingly, they do seem to pick up on conversations like this as well and it may help to reassure her, even if all she is doing is picking up the tone of your voice and feeling reassured by that.

Thanks Kathryn....I have been doing that, and since it has been a few days since the suitcase has come out and I am still here, she has calmed down a bit. I talk to them (as we have 2 dogs) about the baby coming soon. Sometimes they will have their heads on my tummy and baby will move around so I tell them about it. I have been watching a lot of baby shows lately as well, so when there are babies crying on them, I ask them "what's that" to try to get them both used to it a bit. We started a few months ago not letting them into the bedroooms where baby will be and doing a few other things to try to make the transition easier for them!!! They both have pretty easy going personalities so we are pretty sure that they will be great with baby!!

Stereotype much? Nice job of perpetuating stereotypes with limited anecdotal evidence. I don't think all inconveniences merit a full apology, and as such, I don't issue them unless warranted.

i am kind of happy because I found some chips that are pretty similar to All Dressed chips.. the brand is California Chips and the flavour is called Earthquake... we also tried the Honey BBQ and those are good too

so I recently got a blackberry and I am considering getting rid of our Vonage account.. i love it but i rarely make calls and people rarely call us and it seems to be a waste of $25/month which is about what the blackberry is going to cost me.. I would still like to have some kind of phone service for when I want to call my family and I was considering Skype or maybe even Magic Jack.. what do you guys think?

I have never used skype. We went from vonage to magicjack. However we rarely use the home phone, we both have cell phones and use them more then anything. Magicjack can be good as long as you have a internet connection. Plus..19.00 for a year :)

Have used Skype calling Canada and other places in the world, and the sound quality was excellent!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

We have yet to have any problems with magicjack, the sound quilty is good so far we have had it since march. He calls me when I am in canada as well as he uses it to call his mom in az. I call all my family when i am there.

We have verizon wireless :)

Skype is good. Tim and I used it a lot. Sound quality and picture was fine. Course, as long as the two parties have computers and web cams. It's free. Not sure about Skype to phone, as we never did that.

You can get a good calling card too. Penny talk. It's $.1 a minute, plus a $.49 cent connection fee. AND it's the same whether calling from US to Canada, or Canada to the US. You need to go online to register, but it's very secure.

I think I mentioned before that I was not able to get pregnant due to blocked tubes. And that was something we wanted even thought I already had kids from my previous marriage. I had a a reversal then was told it would not happen it really broke my heart. Well Recently I broke a tooth its was infected and I was given penicillin and I thought I had reacted to the it. I was so sick, even after I was done the week. Well Monday we fond out I am pregnant. They thought about 2 week, but do to the risk of and ectopic pregnancy I have already had a ultra sound. Turns out I'm like 6 weeks. We are freaking out. This little miracle just saved us 15-20k if we had it to begin with for in vitro. I am so very exited I have been shaking. We were so terrified it might be in the wrong spot but nope every thing is perfect.
