It looks like my trip to see my wife in the Philippines back in February was more eventful than we thought!

We expect that she'll be about 6-7 months along when she gets her visa and flies here. Do we need to do anything else, as far as the Visa paperwork goes, for the upcoming addition to our family?

Thanks in advance

The only real change,,, is that St Lukes will want to know. As far as the consulate is concerned no-change. Might want to get her added

to your health insurance. Qualifying change for you to add her is a marriage or loss of her insurance. Which you could possibly do once

she arrives here.

Considering that I shave my head, the baby should have more hair! As far as something in the water...I'm guessing it has more to do with us acting like crazy teenagers and rarely leaving our hotel room for two weeks :lol:

@DC - yes, she'll be sure to tell St. Lukes before her xray and I've already added her to my health insurance :thumbs: Thanks for the advice! Good to know we don't need to do anything else.

Thanks to everyone for the congrats, we appreciate it!

Congrats to both of you. Here's to hoping the process goes smooth and she's here before the airlines want to keep her on the ground.

Thanks, I've already researched that online a bit. Delta allows pregnant women to fly without any limits. While most other airlines have 7 month or 8 month limits, Delta has none. Just to be sure, I called Delta and the lady I spoke with confirmed that, and said they advise women to check with their doctor before flying, that's it! Even with all of that said, we're REALLY hoping she's not that far along when she flies!
