All about the babies and a little more! The days are long but the years are short.

Every day is like a beaded string
little memories held within
every action, word and deed
lingers silently in my mind

everyday is a precious ring
the same thing
never ending

yet in the circle of life
the joys and the feelings
rekindle the fires within
and wake up the sleeping soul

and as I close my eyes I see
the smiles of the blissful children
the fights and the wars
and plenty of playful yelling

the bed time battles
stories to bring slumber
to sweet little eyes
that wont surrender

chasing the rabbits through the woods
tracing the chipmunk's footprints on the snow
a scribble on the wall, a spill on the floor
little fingers and busy toes

the laughter and noise
that bring love and cheers
the cuddles and tears
that light up life

without them
the home would be bare
the days would be dark
and the silence will glare

Thank God for children!
How wonderful they are!

Twice the joy


Little Haroon Abdullah was due today but as God had other plans for him he happens to be 12 days old today. I was lucky enough to spend a day with him. His grandparents, sister and dad have been out and I got to be with him all day which was a wonderful experience because people are always worried about leaving new borns alone with their moms so young so early.

Who is this little person

He looks like the boy version of his sister. Besides taking in, processing and wasting out food he also raises his head and looks around at his environment. He doesn't seem to mind his sister shouting around him and she loves him a lot, too. At first she was sad that the lime light was shifting a little. Now she is adjusting real good. I want for them to be good friends and siblings. To love and look out for one another to teach and guide and be true...

I try to look into his eyes and try to imagine what the future will be like for the four of us. Will there be more? Will they be happy and pious and educated? Dreams of parents are as deep as the deepest oceans and as wide as the skies.

My whole life seems complete now and my children make me feel proud and content. The blessings of Allah cannot be counted.

Haroon Abdullah Ahamat - Alhamdulillah


It was my second pregnancy but I never thought he will come two weeks early. Wasn't ready for him and was so heart broken because his dad missed his birth. He was out of town on business. Everything went well and he is doing great Alhamdulillah. It was a very painful and long labour unlike my first. Wish all you ladies a good experience with your birth if you still are to go through it!
