Hey, everyone. So, you know, I've been talking to Jada
and dating her for 11 months.
Today is the first day that we are meeting in person.
Her and Zayden just boarded their second flight. I'm so nervous.
I actually ended up
surprising her being inside, and I hid behind a big pole.
She just threw her bag.
It was like, I finally get to hold my person.
I'm Jenni Middleton
and I'm from Springfield, Ohio, and I'm a branch operations manager for a bank.
I'm Jada Hamilton.
I'm from Regina, Saskatchewan, and I am a CCA at a seniors care home.
Life in the pandemic for me has been a little bit lonely
just because I met someone online and I couldn't go there and see them.
It was just heartbreaking.
I was just scrolling my for-you page and one of her videos
popped up and I commented on it and it was just one word.
It's all I had to comment. And she was like hooked ever since.
It is safe to say I am head over heels for this beautiful woman.
Around the same time that her and I had started talking
is when I and found out like my life was going to be completely different.
Finding out you're pregnant is like very difficult
for people who are not expecting it and planning it.
I didn't tell her till a little bit after just because
I wasn't sure where things were going with us.
Well, first I cried, of course, because I was so shocked.
I was like, you hid this from me, kind of thing.
But then I thought about it and I've I've always wanted kids.
Maybe this is how it's supposed to happen.
Surgery sucked, but it was it was really scary
not being able to have Jenni with me there physically.
He was born March 1st. Hi mama.
He is the most amazing little boy.
I don't really have much family in Regina.
It's just him and I, which is very hard too
because you want to be their support system.
We were on FaceTime
like all day, every day, 20 hours a day was our average.
Even doing like our daily tasks, we would FaceTime each other.
When we went to bed we would FaceTime each other.
I got to know her in a completely different way
than if you are here for the first couple of months.
Maybe I wouldn't have gone to so deep, so fast.
So I'm thankful for it.
But it also sucked at the same time.
I love you and I miss you, baby.
Thanks Jada. I looked at the border stuff every single day at work,
and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm never going to get see her.
When we finally met at the Columbus Airport,
as soon as I was able to hug her, like my whole life just felt complete.
It was like a surreal moment.
It's like a piece of us were missing for so many months.
Are you ready to change your poop?
I missed four months of his life.
But it was beautiful at the same time.
Because was like, that's my little boy.
And I can't wait to see like all of his firsts.
I've seen it through a phone,
but it's different when he's right in front of my face.
It feels normal.
It doesn't feel like I'd have to get to know her all over again.
I think it's safe to say that Zayden is also
incredibly happy to be here with momma.
I would like Jada and Zayden to move here.
We talk about like K1 visa process.
We're most looking forward to just spending time together.
Getting to know each other in a different way.
Just the small things that mean the most,
just hugging your partner or making your baby laugh.
Things like that.
