Hello everyone. I haven't been on in months. I don't know who all is still on here, but I thought I'd give anyone who still remembers me an update. Our baby was born on March 8th. He was huge (11 lb 4oz) and I ended up having to have a c-section. There were some complications (breathing problems) for him and he was in the hospital for 8 days. He is now out and has been fine since he was released. We named him Uchenna. His daddy wanted that, and I liked it. He is such a sweet little thing. Malcon and I are doing well and loving being parents. Other than that, not much new news.

Met on internet 6/04. Married at court house in Aba, Nigeria 12/04. 3/05 traditional ceremony in Nigeria w/ my picture. 12/05 finally together again. 4/06 ceremony/celebration in the states together

Hola and Congrats! I too had been on and off the board for a while, so it is great to read your update. Get lots of rest and forget about the school year right now. Enjoy

The longer it takes to introduce yourself the less you've actually accomplished
