Picture time
I've left this blog in the dust for far too long. In the spirit of posting at blogger (gave my kiddos projects that entail them needing to blog hahaha), I shall do so too, albeit in picture form because really, pictures speak louder than words. Pictures have vocal chords too, see. I'm really going off-tangent here :D
That's certainly not all...our princess will turn 10 mths old come 21st Aug insyaallah. More pics will surely follow. For now, toodles!
p/s: Ramadhan Mubarak to all Muslims <3

Of family
My baby turned 9 months old on the 21st of July, a day after her Abah turned 37 yrs old. It's been a fun and sometimes frustrating time so far, being a parent but the fun parts outweigh the frustrations most definitely. Worry is another aspect of parenting that I'm alrdy used to, thanks or no thanks to the naturally worrying nature I've gotten from my Ummi and she from her mom, my Jidah. Labels: family, hubby, jidah, love, musing., ramadhan, Wardah
Speaking of Jidah, she's been admitted to the hospital again. It's so sad seeing her so weak, she didn't take medication for a week due to the hospital's miscounting her pills. On the 23rd July, when we came over to her place, we were shocked to see just how much weight she had lost within a week. She was also impervious to anything and anyone around her. Ticha swung by, asked my hubby to call a doctor (cost her $300 for a weekend consultation at home) and just a few minutes of the doc's review and examination, the ambulance was called. Jidah was warded that night.
When we visited her in Sunday, she seemed a lot better although still very weak. She's put on insulin right now and they've installed the drip for her too. It's sad and alarming to see someone who used to be so strong, who took care of me when i was a child, take a turn for the worse like this. I love my Jidah...she's the on,y grandmother whom I love and who loves me. She has lived a good long life and I pray to Allah to allow us to be able to cherish her for a few more years. Let us have the opportunity to take care of her, Ya Allah. Let her enjoy basking in the love of her family. Let Wardah grow up knowing her Noyang...amiin....
On a side note, Ramadhan will dawn upon us come Sunday. We will sahur on Saturday night. I'm excited yet a tad anxious because this will be the first Ramadhan with a baby around. Hopefully our fasts and good deeds will be received and blessed by HIM, amiin.
Until the next time. Assalamu'alaikum :)

A month on and let's see...
...things transpired :)
Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.
Our family is whole, us three. We've gotten Lil Padawan's new birth cert and her passport is awaiting collection. Insyaallah in June, we'll make a short trip up to KL with my parents. Hopefully we'll be able to make it to our first holiday destination as a family by the end of the year. Oh, KL doesn't count :)
I've started work and it's been ok so far.
I miss the lil kiddo when I'm at work. If all goes as planned, I'll commence on 3/4 workload come semester 2.
My mom and MIL are the ones who take care of my lil one when I'm at work.
Hubster participated in an international conference at San Diego for a whole week and I missed him terribly. He managed to snag an ipad2 for his wifey whilst there though :)) It's not sold here in SG as yet.
Well, apologies for the stilted writing style. It's 12.26 am and I'm baked.
Goodnight all. :)
Here's to a great tomorrow.

We are finally, officially, a family :)
Alhamdulillah.
Now we're just waiting for the Adoption Order papers and Lil Padawan's new birth cert to be generated...after which, we'll apply for a passport for the kiddo.
A whole new chapter awaits us.
May we be guided towards being the best parents we can be, insyaallah.
I love you, hubby. I love you, Lil Padawan :)

Counting down the hours...
Tick...tock...tick...tock...
As the hours pass us by, my heart is gripped by a sense of dread...longing...fear...hope...and above all, love.
Love that I hope will be multiplied.
Love that has always come from HIM.
Love that we already share.
True, come tomorrow, what is sealed is the legality and the technicalities.
I can't quite stress enough how such mundane distractions are in fact very necessary for us to continue with our lives.
For without those, we are stuck in limbo; our hearts already signed and sealed yet our situation remains without any empirical ties.
So I must ask GOD, in HIS Infinite Wisdom, Grace and Generosity, to fulfill us another wish.
Please, ya Allah...make it happen.
Please, ya Allah...make us truly whole.
Please, ya Allah.
Please.
Please.
9.30am, 11-03-11.
THE date.
Insyaallah...amiin.

Another milestone, another hurdle conquered.
The destination is in sight...but truly, much patience is still needed.
We will muster all that we can...for the prize that awaits us far exceeds anything else that we've been given, save for a few.
For her. For us.
Love.
Insyaallah...

Of sincerity. And nothing else matters.
I just had an epiphany. On hindsight,2010 was the year when my sincerity was tested in many areas of my life.Some I failed.Miserably.Others I passed; but only just so. The rare few times, I came out surprising myself. In some, repercussions came swift and hard. In others, sweet victory came out of the blue. In the journey towards self-discovery, 2010 carved milestones for me. Alhamdulillah.Alhamdulillah.Alhamdulillah.
