Congrats sis

Congratiolation! and Alf alhamdulilah baby Reema is finally here =) born on Wednesday morning 7/28/2010 (does that day sound familiar! yup it's the day that marks our 10 year anniversary mashallah :)

Mommy n baby are doing good alhamdulilah. I had to stay with the kids at home so i was not there in the hospital! that was hard..the waiting part and not knowing what was happening there ahh but alhamdulilah all is good :) Fatima decided to leave the hospital early! so they came Thursday afternoon instead of Fri morning! of course i thought i still have time to decorate the house Thur night!! so i was running all over the place to get everything ready and alhamdulilah i managed ;)

The kids were super excited to see their mommy n daddy and meet Reema :)

For now we are trying to keep the kids busy outside the house so mommy can relax! i took them all to Chuck E cheese, then the park, and BR..mashallah they are very active kids :)

Now as the hard part is over and everyone is ok, I can't wait for Monday now! apparently Ammar has planned a surprise date for our anniversary but Reema decided to show up, lol Ammar was so worried he thought the "surprise place" will not refund the money or agree to change the date! but alhamdulilah they changed it to Monday and im so freakn excited cus really! we need a break so badly! i miss my hubby so freakn much..he has been very busy lately.. all the events that happened last months, the summer program now, then Ramadan! May Allah shower us with its blessings:) this is basically the hardest time of the year for us cus he is always out, subhanallah my sis knew when to come to keep me busy!:)

alhamdulilah, alhamdullilah alhamdulilah for all the blessings we have..May Allah protect you baby Reema and make u from 3ebaduh al sale7een, and even thought u ruined my special date, i still LOVE u =)

welcome to the family little angel..you are so blessed to have parents like yours...may Allah fell your days with barakah, your heart with Eman, and your mind with Taqwa. Ameen:)

Fun with the sista ;)

ok i know it's been too long as usual but now i must write about this period;)

so my sister Fatima, husband, and kids have been here for a month!! i can't believe i didn't start writing about it till now. She is pregnant and her due date is approaching in Aug 2ND inshallah:)

The reason for not writing? well because i barely have time to sit...it's a nice busy feeling. We did not waste any day since their arrival! They went to Disney..then we spend the night in San Diego for Lego Land and Sea World :) we had a blast alhamdulilah...I still can't believe they are here!!alf alhamdulilah :)

Zaid and Lana are having so much fun with their cousins..they play n fight like all kids do ;) so some days are easy and some are stressful, every day we take them to the park to play..my brother in law is discovering new parks everyday too..he found nice Tennis courts and bought the tools for every child and we have been playing tennis for several days now..and the kids are getting really good at it mashallah! even Lana! she would take a ball n the thenge (what is is called?) which is larger than her and runs to the place and would get so mad if i tried to take it from her hands, so freakn cute =)

and after the park..we usually stop at In n Out (my bros in law's new love since we introduce it in San Diego) i wish we didn't;) then go home n get the kids ready to sleep...u can imagine how that can go with 4 kids right?;))

Anyhow:) the reason that made wana write is the scary day on Sunday. Ammar and I had a meeting in the masjid n when we were on our way back, Suhaib called n said that Fatima fell down the stairs! so i come inside to see my sis on the floor crying with pain:( Suhaib n I took her to the hospital and Ammar habeby watched over the kids. we were in the hospital from 3pm until 3 am. alhamdulilah everything is fine but i think when she fell down, some contractions stared coming 10 minutes a part!! so they made her stay n get ready for the baby! we were not prepared for that! we did not eat since the morning n as the time passed we were all getting so tired..by 7pm we were done..Fatima asked to go home because she knows her body and knew nothing will happen..and if anything happen we can just come back. But the doc didn't like that so we stayed n waited for few hours... by then, the contractions stopped so by 3am my sis was like that's it i wana go home n see the kids. they made her sign some papers and went home..ahhh what a beautiful feeling that was! after sleeping on 3 chairs..being so cold..no food...ahh we just wanted our beds =) ofcourse the most importanat thing knwoing my sis n the baby are safe walhamdulilah =)
