Quotes for the day

My son said two things today. One was funny (like, duuuuuh!) and the other was touching.

It snowed a little over here and school was delayed two hours. We were backing out of the drive way. By not the streets were clear. My son says:

Look Mom! It didn't snow on the road!

Yeah.. I won't let him live that down.. ever.

Then we were just driving and he was looking out the window and says:

It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry...

Something Better

Last night I hung out with my son.

It was a great evening because we haven't spent time like this in a long time.

Our school had a basketball night last night and he really wanted to go.. but the odds were against us and I decided that we shouldn't go (I had locked my keys in my car and we were waiting for the locksmith to come open the car).

We went grocery shopping together and I got him the candy he wanted (which he never asks for).

We went through the Taco Bell drive thru for dinner.

We came home, ate our fast food and decided on what movie to order On Demand (Pay-per-view). We settled on Harry Potter 5, which we'd already seen. We watched the movie, bundled up under a comforter. He passed out before the movie ended.


It was one of the best Saturday nights I'd had in a long time. Alhamdulillah.

Where to start?

Hmm. I guess with the shiny happy stuff.

Baby Dept.

My belly is growing every day... subhan allah if you'd ask me yesterday I'd say I'm getting big. But today I went to a baby shower and realized I'm still pretty tiny. Alhamdulillah - I'm not blowing up *yet*...

I feel my little guy kicking all the time. He likes to dance on my bladder. Frequently. I use the bathroom so much I feel like I'm developing a special relationship with my toilet.

Religion Dept.

I am happy to report that my Eman Levels are increasing every day Alhamdulillah. I am reading Qur'an.. jotting down ayahs in a notebook and making notes on things... and I go back and read them and they have been a great benefit to me.

My prayers are better too, alhamdulillah.

General Stuff Dept.

I was sick all day yesterday. Stayed in bed and watched movies.

Last night I had a dream that I was studying dinosaurs and about to take a test and realized that I didn't study for it properly. Then I went into labor and delivered my son (who did not have a name). Oddly enough, the baby was already speaking gobbledy goo and was just as silly as can be. My husband and my mom were there and they were just chilling out and not helping me when I was trying to breast feed. They kept saying I was moody. I remember that I put the baby to my left and he began to latch on when I thought "maybe I should start on the right." So I switch sides and said 'Bismillah' and he started drinking. He was only sucking away for a minute when he stopped to talk more gobbledy goo and was pointing around and laughing. I thought it was so funny but I was worried he wouldn't eat more so I kept trying to adjust him properly so he'd eat. While he fed I tried taking the dinosaur test but gave up. The rest of my family started coming and they were happy. I remember feeling so annoyed because my mom and husband weren't taking any interest in the baby or helping me out.

Then I woke up.

just in case you were wondering... buttered chicken still does not agree with me even now that i DON'T have morning sickness ...

my chest.. my chest.. my chest is on FIRE!!

Baby Dept.

in case you didn't read the previous entry... i'm having a BOY! Alhamdulillah. All those old wives tales that are supposed to indicate gender are so not true. Everything 'indicated' that i was having a girl.. but alas Allah planned for me to have a boy.

Alhamdulillah so far all the organs look health. I have an appt on 1/22 for a fetal echo to rule out any heart defects, so that should put my mind at more ease (at least in this aspect of my life).

It's amazing now I can feel him kick and *I think* squirm around inside my ever-increasing-in-size belly. Last night I was laying flat on my stomach and I had my hands on my abdomen and I swear I could feel some kicks. Mr. Wonderful put his hand on my belly (I was giggling about how I felt the baby) and the baby stopped moving. "See.. he loves me more already," I bragged.
