Life..
Warning: it's going to be one of those random vent/nostalgic therapy sessions for my sake.
-=-=-
It just struck to me that I've been married(God! i hate the word!!) for four yrs!! MashaAllah.
Double whopper for the fact that I'm a mommy! subhanAllah.
rewind perhaps 3 yrs ago, you'd be my worst enemey for excusing my paunch across the belly as pregnancy.
Rewind perhaps 4.5 years and i'd slap you for even thinking abt getting me hitched!
As cliche as it sounds... life's a pandora box of surprises.
I'm married and I'm a mom. I repeat. I'm married and I'm a mom mashaAllah. whoa!!
Sometimes while walking around college I wonder if people can actually tell that I have a baby or if i look like one of the many?
It's 2:33 am. my lil tazmanian monkey decided to wake up and had a spur of the moment desire to watch 'ice age'. what!? i went to bed only half an hour ago!! why did no one tell me this is part of the package of being a mama? lol j/k. but seriously speaking, sometimes i wish i knew what to do. i wanna observe more parents with kids so i can tell what works and what doesnt. goals for 2007!
i love the excitement this lil one brings my way. alhamdolillah. it's unbelievable how fast hes grown mashaAllah. it seems like yest when i showed maryam my pee stick and stood in the washroom crying not knowing what to do, sneaking out to the docs with maryam, endless gynae trips slash shopping sessions. and then yea morning sickness', endless sleepiness bouts. deciding to quit my job. trying to find a female gynae. talking to the tummy. endless pokes and kicks. wanting, infact, craving to bend forward. the nesting phase with endless re-arrangements of furniture. reading endless websites trying to figure out what to do. staring at the ultrasound pix endlessly. maryam thinking she can see something so it's a boy. hehe. oh the blubber around me! all 50 lbs of it! crying on maryam's mehndi day coz i looked like a duck regardless of what i wore! in denial to the point of not wanting to wear maternity clothes. getting SICK of pregnancy clothes. watching the belly pop out from under t-shirts etc. innie to outtie. the baby shower... where everyone was out of town. oh the drama it entailed. the penguin - pregnant woman - walk. getting sick of yellow and green baby clothes. getting disgusted by yellow and green baby clothes. finally packing a suitcase for the hosp. unpacking and packing it daily. waiting patiently for the 40 week mark. watching the 10th of oct go by. one day. two days. four days. five! The last few nights of pregnancy. my vow to walk until he popped out - ((hey it worked! it had me contracting the next morning!! )). not knowing the difference between a backache and a contraction. *doh*. Imran's excitement upon finally being close to being able to hug the baby. philly cheese steak from somethin' to talk about. going to the hosp. not yet. walking up and down eglinton ave waiting for the moment to happen. finally being admitted. epidural - God bless the guy who invented it!. sleep. getting a fever from the epidural, imran catching it! the doc sneaking in warm blankets for both of us. finally having him. wanting to see him alive. hearing him cough. falling in love with an intensity that i couldnt fathom. wanting 10 of him! not believing he's mine! watching time pick up speed. it's been not one, but two yrs alhamdolillah. he not only turned over, sat, crawled and walked. he's mashaAllah running and jumping with both feet up in the air too! he's making snowballs and airing them out too. i can't shop in the infant's section anymore. he's a toddler - mashaAllah!
where has time flown to?
