Hello everyone!

My baby arrived last week and it has been WONDERFUL! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i went to the airport, my heart was beating soooo fast and seeing him come through the doors at JFK was a MIRACLE! he is adjusting well, and has even fallen in love with my cat, Kente! i was hoping he would like her, because nana is not used to cats being in the house....cultural differences...haha! We have been doing well...just shopping for things for him to stay WARM and I have been cooking him lots of caribbean food...(i am of trinidadian descent)...anyhow, things are great, and i am so thankful to god! he is now getting adjusted to the time difference, etc. We are going to apply for the EAD next week! nana keeps saying: " i need a job, now!" well, that is all for now...keep us in your prayers.. as i am keeping you all in mine!

P.S. this has been a hard week at work for me, because all i keep envisioning is seeing nana once work is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (L)

Hooray!! Congratulations and enjoy finally having him here with you.

My dad is trini and hasn't met Bassi yet. He lives in Newark but I'm in Upstate NY now (left Bklyn) and Bassi is excited cause my dad is supposed to cook for him. I've never cooked for Bassi yet, but he promises to eat whatever I put in front of him! :lol: My baby loves me. :hehe:

My mom is Guyanese and Bassi loves her jerk chicken because it's really really spicy and ghanaians seem to live on spicy food. I don't cook spicy food because my daughter is five and it's just us. I'm trying to figure out how to adjust for Bassi's taste when he gets here. Oh well! It's a problem I will enjoy having because it means he's here, right?
