Boy does time fly!! Umaiza is now 17 days old Mashallah, and slowly getting a little more active. For the most part she has been a pretty good baby. At this point she sleeps through most of the day and wakes up for feedings and just to be held  My jaani choti sari.....pics below.
I am feeling much better than before, will still take time to heal, but feeling TONS better - no more pain killers. Yeay!!!!
The 1st week she didn't gain any weight so doc was mildly concerned...

Baby Girl born September 11, 2009, at 6:52 AM. 8 pounds, 20 inches.
We named her Umaiza.
She came earlier than expected, as my c-section was scheduled for the 14th. I didn't know it but I was having contractions for a bit and they got very strong on Thursday (09/10) night. The pain got so bad that I could not walk, sit/stand/lay down nothing. It started out as a sharp pain in my left side, but I just assumed baby was in a bad position....

Well I have been home since last Wednesday. I got several doc appointments out of the way, including sonogram. Umm yeah so the baby is STILL in transverse position....according to doc "unstable" becasue baby keeps shifting between transverse & vertex positions. My luck, this is like a 1 out of 1500 thing...but anyways. I have been scheduled for a c-section on Monday Sept. 14th 2009 Inshallah.
That is fine, I will get through it, I already had a c-section so I know...

So today is my last day at work, and I guess I am glad now as it really is tough getting into work and sitting through the day. I had a doctor's appointment last night and doc kinda yelled me as to why I am still at work.
Anyways overall I am doing ok, a bit big in the belly but that's fine. The issue is I have NO muscle tone left in my abdomen. Also position of the baby is transverse/breech so she told me previously highly likely it will be a c-section. Since there is no improvement,...

So please give me your opinions on how much an elder sibling should be taught/prepared about arrival of a new baby sibling?
I try to tell me son that he is a big boy & will soon be a big brother etc. just to prepare him. I think I mentioned that the baby is in my belly...moreso that he can be careful cuz he tries to use my belly as a jumping point thinking its a big cushion. In any case, yesterday someone asked him so S where is the baby? he lifts up his shirt, points to his...

I am not sure WHY but I am still at work. Decided to see how far I can go before succumbing to the doctor's order of staying home now. But no I think Wednesday is my last day, just wanted to take care of some stuff before I go away on Disability & then maternity. I know I am nuts, but I am sure subconsciouly the manager would look at this during review time if I left reports etc undone. Whatever just a few more days left. Not like I can rest at home either. I can not sit/stand/walk/lay...

Oh My Goodness. All praise is to Allah.
A co-worker passed away at work this afternoon, it was just horrific to witness. I really really wish I didn't have to see that or hadn't seen it happening.
He was discovered at his desk, someone thought he was sleeping and tried to wake him up. He didn't respond so they called paramedics etc. They arrived quickly, but no success with CPR, recussitation. Not sure what it is but he was also given Adrenaline with no luck. THis was...

This is just a reminder for myself:
We have been house hunting for several months now & finally found a property we like. Let me clarify, a property we like, can afford, and got approved on.  Let me tell you, it was a very hectic & crazy process, esp. during pregnancy. Also it was a Short-Sale so there was a lot of drama. Alhumdulillah we are 1st time homeowners now as Wednesday, 08/12 was our closing date.
I remember we really started looking when...

I am almost there!!!! Yeah Baby! As much as I complain about the aches & pains of pregnancy, it is now starting to kick in that...holy cow I am going to have a newborn on hand very soon!!! Ackkk!! What do I do....hehe a tad bit nervous & excited all in the same. It is hard to explain, I am happy but also worrisome at the same time. Like will I be a good mother to 2 kids, will I love them equally, how will I manage taking care of them both? Will S love his new sibling, will he be jealous....

So yesterday the office people threw me a lovely surprise baby shower & I actually had no idea about it. Normally I pick up on a hint or something and have a hunch. I walked into a desk decorated with yellow/teal/pink streamer stuff, lovely flower bouquets and some balloons. They did a breakfast for me, where everyone brought in a ton of food. I LOVE breakfast
Then later we had a monthly meeting and at the end of it they gave me a cute card and a generous gift certificate....

I am getting closer to the finish line, but WHY does it seem so much harder now that im nearing the end. The back & ligament pain is ridiculous now! I have to get up very slow, and kinda stretch it out 1st and then walk half way normal. Oh and now I think I have been getting the Braxton Hicks contractions irregularly, how do I describe .... just odd tightening sensation that makes me stop for a minute and breathe and gently rub my tummy! Mommies is that how you felt when you were preggo?...

We received horrific downpours yesterday here in the Tri-State. I went out for lunch yesterday and as soon as I placed my order i hear the thunder and started pouring cats n dogs while I had no umbrella. You can only imagine a preggo lady trying to marsh as fast as she can to her car ....was totally soaked
Then left work at 4:30 and what normally takes me maybe 25 minutes to get home, took me a little more than 2 hours!!!! Even had a bathroom emergency, but no bathroom in sight!!!...
