Its a BOY!

Welcome to the world baby- Imran Ali!  Already we love you.  We love your cuddles and soft skin and brown beautiful hair and pink skin.  Mama and Baba are so blessed to have you and Babu and Aapi cannot WAIT to meet you!  You were born after an induction, and around 3 hours of contractions.  You could barely wait for the doctor to get his delivery clothes on before you came out to see the world and meet us!  You were born at 1:06 pm after 2 pushes and 11 minutes of active labor.  You were 7 lbs 5.8 oz. and 20 inches long.  We love you so much sweet boy!

Baba's First Day Back...

:(   and :)
This is how I feel today.  Baba went back to work a couple hours ago.  Babu has only asked for his Baba around 500 times so far this morning... grumble...  Baba gave extra hugs and kisses today to both Babu and me but he still did have a little spring in his step.  But truth be told, I have a little spring in my step too.  I am very anxious to get back into my routine (meal planning, house cleaning, general house-wifery type stuff).  And of course I get to type this out with a warm sleeping bundle nestled right in on my lap.  I love the tiny baby stage....  now if only I can wrangle the almost 2 year old simultaneously!

Who am I? What is this??

Life at my house is good. Sometimes wonderful. Sometimes grab your belly- laugh out loud funny and hey, some days I try to just not let the day suck rocks. I guess this makes me average!

I'm in my 30's. I'm a mother-of-one-- a 3 year old beauty. I am Muslim. I am an American. I stay home to raise my child. I try to cook meals every night-- but Saturday I had pizza for both Lunch and Dinner (and no one complained.) I used to like to write, right now I'm feeling bogged down by it all. I have one million STUPENDOUS ideas how I'm going to make a million bucks.

I'm just like you...

This is my place.... to post ideas...to share my life... to tell my stories... to find the good in every day... to make my lemonade in life.
