Salaam Alaikum, my sisters!
Just wanted to give everyone a "heads up" that baby Papito came along on Wednesday, August 5th..... alhumdulillah, all went VERY smoothly- like 1 push smooth..... I could never complain about my deliveries!!!
With all my running around, not eating or taking care of myself as good as I would've if I was home in New York, Papito was my smallest one yet! But I can't complain as he is healthy and as cute as a button, MASHA ALLAH!!!! He's resembes Big Papi but time will tell if his face changes into something totally different.... all of my kids look different from each other but you could tell that they're related.....
And the hubby made it here JUST in time- he arrived Monday evening and by Wednesday afternoon, I was heading to the hospital! I kept telling Papito to hang in there and wait for his Baba and like a good boy, he listened! I was ready to come home the same day but the doctor had already left the hospital and when the staff called him, he said just stay- as usual, I felt like I didn't even give birth! Ready to go home to my own place and relax with the clan around me... but he and I had the chance to bond overnight as we spent the night smelling each other and him sleeping on my chest- this is my process with all of them and it does create a tighter, closer feeling bond between you..... and when they smell you and kinda sigh, you know they recognize you!
Well, always when you proclaim that you would never do something, something usually happens to make you eat your words- I said repeatedly while pregnant, that this one would more than likely be the last but now that he's here, talk about crazy but I think I wouldn't mind another!!! ;p
The troops are loving him like crazy.... my family thought that Little Papi might "flip out" since he's attached to me like glue (literally sometimes) but he's the main one kissing him and rubbing his head! Alhumdulillah, I'm glad I don't have to worry about the hitting, biting and scratching that usually happens when the youngest meets the newborn.... oy! And Little Papi just turned 1 a few days ago..... Alhumdulillah, my life has been blessed by yet another addition to the clan- Allah (SWT) is merciful and I am forever thankful for ALL that He has given me in this life..... please make dua for us!!!
Okay, break time over.... back to Momma duties.... time to make din din! ;)

Mashaa'Allah kinda sounds like the birth of my child. Very easy and right after everything I took a shower, walked around and wanted to go home & clean!! But the nursing staff were like "um, you just had a baby!" but I was like "ya.. so? my mom is coming tomorrow and i need to get my place ready!!"
but i still had to stay over night!!
mashaa'Allah i loooove the bonding, cuz it's true -- babies can smell their mothers!! i think the distance of being able to smell the milk is 20ft.
subhan Allah!!
congradulations and may Allah ta`ala bless u and ur family, ameen!

Thanks my sisters! It truly is a blessing to have yet another... then I start to worry about whether or not I'm good enough for the job- paranoid Mama!!!
I just want them all to be the best Muslims possible... and it is a HUGE responsibility to raise your children in this world today.... to educate them, to protect them, to nuture them and make them be productive Muslims in our society.... I hope I can do a good job!!!
Congratulations! Are you breastfeeding? If you don't mind me asking, I don't judge, just curious.

Anisah- Yes, I am breastfeeding him as with all my children... it's the best possible thing you could give them! Not unless there's some medical reason as to why you shouldn't or can't, I don't see why any Mom should deny her child the excellent, nutritious substance which we were given for this purpose!!!
What lovely happy news!! I just got back on line after nearly a month off line and found your post about your new arrival! :-)
While off line I found out I'm carrying twins!!!
mashaAllah mabrouk sister. And Ramadan Mubarak.
Coffee: Wow! Good for you, twins!!! Talk about your hands being full.... but I'm sure you can handle it when the day comes. May they both come forth happy, healthy bundles of joy! <3
Al-Ghariba: MashaAllah.... thanks sis! And Ramadan Mubarak to you and yours as well!!!
MashaAllah!!! Congratulations, dear Sis!
And Ramadan mubarak to you and your family :)
Nadia: Shukran, sis! MashaAllah, I couldn't ask for anything for.... I've been truly blessed!
And Ramadan Kareem to you and yours!
Assalam-alaikam,
mash'Allah mabrook on the birth of your baby son. May Allah keep you both well insh'Allah and bless the little one with everything that is good.
Umm Salihah: Wa alaikum assalaam! InshaAllah......... Ameen!
We're all hanging in there, enjoying the little peanut like crazy, MashaAllah.... his sister and brothers are helping out with holding him and trying to feed him already! :)
Anisa, I tried but had problems with my first 3 kids. Some of it was emotional stuff I was going through though.I wasn't able to do it more than a few days. I got it right with my 4th: I nursed him 2 years. I still kinda miss it. He'll probably be my last one too.
Hugs! Take care of yourself!
Anisah
