Influencing the Behaviour of Muslim Youth and Their Parents

Baby Talk

Jannah has begun to talk and it is wonderful to hear her. She has cooperated very well with the move so far. Her naps and daily routines are slowly picking up. Its hard to believe that two years and a month have passed so soon since she was born. J is also getting attached to her soft toys and sometimes wants to take them with her everywhere.

As for her sibling on the way she doesn't have much of a clue except she talks to him/her sometimes. Hopefully the baby will do fine until we settle in to the place and find a new doctor. And life goes on!

Why all the pain?

The pain that comes with the pregnancy and birth only makes the child more valuable. When you work hard for something you value it more!

The Ultra Sound

Thirteen weeks and two days today. The Ultra Sound went well yesterday except for the long wait at the clinic and Jannah getting very restless by the end of it al. He or she seems to be growing fine Alhamdulillah although my belly does not seem to show at all.

The relocation isn't helping at all. The packing and cleaning up wears me out in minutes. Sometimes its hard to stand for the 30 seconds that the microwave takes up to heat my milk for the cereal. I've been living off cereal, rotti and bread. Hardly take any fruits or vegetables. The good news is that at my last appointment whcih was three days ago I found I had gained 2 pounds. So that's a start! Waiting for the Nausia to die out to start a healthy diet. Feel bad for the baby and for myself. If mum was around I wouls never be able to get away with this poor diet of mine but I will have to rough it out until she comes Insha Allah!

So long then and if I am not sround here it means I am either stuck with loads of work or on my way to connecticut for another new beginning...

Adios!

Baby Moving?

I am not sure whether i am 13 or 12 weeks pregnant. May be I will know at my next appointment. At the moment there is so much packing that is not getting done because I am not 100% well yet. Slowly trying to get the kitchen back in order and do some cooking every now and then. Hopefully these vomitting spells should fade away in a few weeks. Thankfully despite the side effects, Zofran is working for me. Feel bad about taxing the husband with all the cooking last week. As of this week I hope to officially close off the kitchen. Moving interstate with a baby moving inside and a toddler that needs full time attention can be hard. The thought of turning 26 tomorrow, or today according to the time of my birthplace doesn't help either. I'm growing older and the grave is getting closer. Hope Allah accepts our prayers and give us Jannah Insha Allah!
