Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Joanna

:thumbs: Very nice. You will have a beautiful wedding there.

Good Afternoon All,

It does look nice Joanna :thumbs: Are they allowing you to bring outside food in? I know the one here by me doesn't. I was looking into that when I was going thru the process b/c of course I want JA'n cuisine.

No I cannot bring in food from outside I have to use thier chef but they said they could accomodate a JA'n cuisine. The lady that I am dealing with at the hotel is very nice and she has already thrown in a few extra things. :thumbs:

How precious :luv: I'm so glad they are both doing well. Congrats (L)

Update on my nephew and niece IL, since Leann was in the hospital, they caught all this early, baby's heartrate was way high last nite, so they ran tests and more tests, found out there was infection so did an emergency c section this mornin.

Everything APPEARS to be ok, she is so perfect, 3 lbs and 7 oz. Around 6:53 or so this mornin, wow a daylite savings baby! hehe Her name is Kelynn and its celtic and my nephew told me it means "warrior princess". He said he thought she needed a fighters name, since this has been such a long haul. Poor Leann was in the hospital on bedrest since February 13th. :unsure:

Thanks all for all the well wishes, and the prayers during this time, something sure must have helped becuz Leann ALMOST had that baby several times much earlier than now, when we werent so sure things would be ok.

Anyhow, they had given the babe a breathing tube last nite, but this afternoon they took it out, and right now, all she has is oxygen in her nose. Great! She is a REAL nite owl tho, just like me, I guess she kicked up quite a fuss in the hospital at 3 am last nite, and the nurses were saying this afternoon they sure felt sorry for whomever was on duty tonite. :lol: I guess she gets hyper..a lil more than she should. It was funny, cuz Leann could never sleep at nite, cuz that babe would go into overdrive and do gymnastics all nite long, in the day she would be peaceful and quiet and not kick much at all. Yep, this one is gonna really keep us busy!

And Joanna, looks like a beautiful place for a wedding!

Oh and they did the brain scan this afternoon, and its A-ok! :thumbs:

Thanks very much, I must say that you have all made collecting these material a breeze. I understand now that light feeling that comes with sending off a paket, bu tmy waiting game has just began. Thank you all again for being there for the late bloomers like myself. (L)

Good morning,

I have a quick question, I just realized that I sent in the I130 but I did the pictures incorrectly. It says to place the photos in a bag-I did :yes:

place the bag on a piece of paper -I did :yes:

label the bag " Photo of <spouses name>- I did not do that , what I did was put the names on the respective sheets. Will that be a problem ? :help::help::help: .

I am also thinking ahead (hopeful that we don't get a RFE) I am getting teh I129F ready but where I am at a stand still is getting the documents ready to send down to Paul. Could someone please tell me which form to use for the financial part is it the I134 or I184 ( I think I might have the #s wrong)?

One other thing, I was just looking over the pictures from our cermony and I realized that they are very screwed up ( we will have a bigger ceremony preferably at a church once he gets here). Will it be a problem when he goes for his interveiw( hopefully thinking), the pictures are very blurry and looks horrible the person who took the pictures really did not know what they were doing.

Also anyone of you ever had to call a phonecard company and request they send a transcript of the phone calls made from the work/home phone line? I recently began using pincity, so my phone records would only start from 4/1/06.

Thank you. (L)(L)(L)

Things will work out Mrs. Squito, it is hard for those numskulls to accept thatthey made a mistake, but remeber they are only humans. I will say a prayer for Spuito that everything will work in his favor today. :thumbs:
