05.29.05--->05.29.08!

Few Hours Old! Mariyah, 7.7 lb and 19.5"



Yes, she made it on time...Allah SWT answered my prayers...I wanted her to arrive on the very same day Jeeej surprised me by showing up at university after few months of getting to know each other online :) That was year 2005, a very special day! And now The thought of it doubles the happiness!

On Thursday, I woke up sometime around 5 am, and I looked at my long nails and thought: "what if she arrives today?! I won't have time to cut them! I should do it now, or else they are going to scratch her body!! " so I did...and later on evening time 9:16 pm Mariyah was born !

It was Jeeej's day off...A beatuful one!!
we went to have breakfast at some nice old cafe in down town Saratoga, and we had an appointment with the midwife...we wanted to do grocery shopping and laundry too...but couldn't make it...

It was amazing...I can't describe my feelings...it's so magically emotional...and When I first saw her, I started singing for her...and held her tight :D Hamdillah...I'm soooo blessed...

I thank my parents and siblings for being patient...for their support and love from far away! It was hard and still is not to have each one of them hold her whenever they want...One day they will inshallah :)

I thank my in-laws for their advices and support all along the way ...

I thank my midwife Veronica who made my delivery easier and simpler, just by having her with me encouraging me til the end! and all the nurses, especially the muslim ones who took extra care of me :$

I thank all my friends the virtual and non virtual who have expressed their love and support...either by the sweet comments on my blog and by e mails...or by gifts and special advices...

I thank Jeeej for not fainting in the delivery room and for holding my hand the whole time over there...and for looking into my eyes sending me positive energy til we met Mariyah :)

I'm not sleeping well these days...not sleeping at all...I wish I can read blogs and leave comments, just like the old days...but I'm just exhausted with some health problems...It's temporary inshallah, and everything will get back to normal one day and soon inshallah!

The first time I left a post saying that I'm in Labor, it was a false alarm...I was sooo confused, I didn't want to delete it, I couldn't reply to other people's prayers...but I read them all and I thank you all...every single one who left me a comment since we announced pregnancy!! Beautiful days...and what's coming is even more beautiful inshallah:D












Princess Mariyah...3 days old!

By the way...I was telling Maioush today that whenever I hear Mariyah crying, I just start crying with her! Her voice and unique sound she makes when she cries breaks my heart :( Just the thought of it makes me shiver !!

Is that normal?! Will I get over this?! Is it that funny?! Then why couldn't Maioush just stop laughing about it?! :s

Summer said...

الحمدلله على السلامه و مبروك ميلاد ماريه is this the right arabic spelling?

you will be very emotional in the next few weeks...its all new to you so you have to adjust, and i know you will! do not worry about it, your hormons are off set because of the delivery and the nursing and all the stuff that comes with baby birth, just be patient and concentrate on all the positives in your life that will give you a boost to get through all right....do not worry about sleeping because you will get enough sleep later...just enjoy and have fun with your baby and husband, it is only a short phase of life that you will be tired a lot but it will all pass and you will look back at it and be thankful for the precious gift God blessed you with. enjoy and take care of yourself and family.

7aki Fadi said...

Awww Mashallah she is 7ayaty bitjanen.

About the crying, walik Maisouh bas titzanakhy 3ala Nido. seebeeha tibky LOL.

But Nido don’t worry about it It's Normal. I used to cry not every time the baby cried but every time we had someone visiting over early in the morning, LOL. I would just start crying. HAHAHAHA . So each new moms crying trigger is different. It will pass, and what would help you a lot Nido is that if anybody you trust offers you help TAKE IT right away and don't worry about the baby so you can rest a little or have a nice shower because the not sleeping makes you cry more :D .

Mashallah KHDOOD bidhom fa3es :D .
