Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 5)

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

ooonuh si mi missin today...bwoy Shaun..today was BAD no rass...i bawled my eyes out...NOTHING stayed down..mi girl fren seh u nah go di doc..i'm like wah him a go do gimme meds wah mi no waan tek.... it's bad..I REALLY PRAY THAT NO ONE EVER HAS TO GO THRU THIS...

**************************

Kimmi lawd mi feel it for you. Girl, I told you (I went through this my ENTIRE pregnancy) and I pray this will not be the same for you. I tried everything (some thing worked), but only for a little while. To tell you the truth, they were going to put me on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy and I was only 4 months at the time. For some reason, foods with a lot of SALT stayed down a little longer and I hate salt. My whole body was messed up and I kept passing out. So, and I know you're tired of hearing it. Just hang in there and even if it ago come back up...try and eat ANYTHING (even if it ago come back). I told myself I would never go through this again. I had a total of 39 doctor's appt when I was pregnant and it's because I was not gaining weight. I can't. Food won't stay in my belly. Right up to the day they took my son, I was vomitting. It was terrible. The doctors told me I was the worse case they had seen in years. As dark as I was, people were telling me I looked PALE (another way of saying you look sick). People could not tell I was pregnant until I was 8 months pregnant. I had a little pouch and I was blaming myself and telling myself if anything happens to the baby it would be my fault. And girl don't let me tell you how many times I was admitted to the ER. Like mi always a PREACH seh...bway di tings we afi go thru fi bring life...but it's all worth it.

Wow...I was-am stressin wit the older mom ting. I'm turnin 32 dis year not gettin any younger, I guess, Gill look like you and I might be preggers bout the same time. My husband in a suttle way asked me to remove my BC as soon as possible. I have not , I figure if he really wants me to get preggers he'll demand it which is what I need to hear to really get moving on it???Do yall agree? I know probably not. I plan to start my Master's in the Fall. I don't want to sound selfish but I really want to get it done first. but I guess I can do it all at the same time. I'm torn ova the situation. Part of me really wants to and de res, well seh heck no! I must be mad to even consider it.

I don't consider my self nasty or unclean but I was taught to wash my underwear out in the sink, while hubby has never observed this, he did see me wash my bathing suit out in the sink while on vaction and had an absolute cow ova it, and asked me if I did my undies the same way. All of a sudden he just stop talking and would not say a word afterward for a while. Then he explained that it was "nasty" or unclean to wash your under wear in the same place you wash your face. That I am to wash dem in the bath or when I shower. I just pondered over it for a while dumfoundedly and descided he could win this one.

I don't consider my self nasty or unclean but I was taught to wash my underwear out in the sink,

Noooooo.......not saying you ARE, just saying it's CONSIDERED!!

It's a cultural thing, not a factual statement at all.....

[*JG* 2]

Washing my underwear in the shower is not something I could ever do. I just don't feel right if it doesn't go through the hot water wash machine.

aas for genetic testing...i had that done through blood work....i even had testing done for research purposes....fun times....but all the test came back negative....amd i just want you to know....IF the test comes back positive for any type of deffect....that IS NOT 100% right....those tests are NOT always accurate.....

My thoughts as well. That's a lot of stress to put on someone. I could see if it was done prior to conception, because it can be so inaccutate, I can't see telling someone to abort because your child might have this disorder.

This is only the prewash in my book. The still go through the machine.

Congrats on working on my masters. Love to see a sitah working it out. Girl, our men are funny in many different ways. Sometimes I think their being petty. Like last year I went to a funeral and people (JAMAICANS) refused to go back into the main hall and eat there (instead they stood in the hallway) and ate. The area was set up so nice. They tell me you can't eat food in the same room were a dead body was...mi just tell dem fi move and mi go hold mi table and nyam mi food. Don't get me started on superstitions...girl I will have you die laughing. Depending on where some people are from in Jamaica. Some of the things I heard, I just could not stop laughing.

I agree, that's why mine end up in the washer afterwards. It's just habit. Been doing it since I was a little girl. Just like when I started working full time, I didn't know it was impolite to call people Mrs. and Ms. in a work place. That some people take offense to that. (I just don't understand). It took me a long time to stop doing that. Something are just in me. Like when I see people (strangers) I have to say GOOD MORNING (if we make EYE CONTACT). If I walk by you, I'll feel bad. I guess I'm just WEIRD. And no matter how simple the task or deed, I have to say THANK YOU.

Just feel out my chair at work, the left arm broke off, so they want to call the ambulance. I told them I'm fine. Now, I have bunch of people hanging around my office door. Only thing that hurts is my left arm.

Morning

Congrats JALove on the baby!

Congrats cejf!!!

Thanks Lawny for the morning prayers!

I do the whole washing out the underwear in the shower thing as well. Then they go through the washer with the hot water, detergent, bleach and double rinse. Andre and I talked about washing clothes separately when he first got here but he gave up on that pretty quickly and we would wash together. I do wash all the underwear separately from the clothes though.

It's like talking at the dinner, table I believe it's okay as long if you don't have food in your mouth.You-\ know tell me bout your day sort of thing. My husband thinks it's very disrespectful.
