Me and My Big Mouth

I can be super insensitive sometimes..
Really bad foot in mouth problem
especially when i am around people who i am closest to
i tend to shoot my mouth off
i suppose its because i am so comfortable around them
i don't stop to think whether my words could be hurtful

to all my friends and family whose feelings i have inadvertently hurt
i'm really sorry.

Condolences

Salam takziah to one of my bestest friends in the world, Z, for the passing of her brother.

I cannot imagine the extent of your pain. But I know you have the strength to face it.

My prayers are for you and your brother.

Managed to catch a facial expression. I just found out how difficult it is to capture baby's pictures.. especially when they are squirming...

Ok I'm going to start with uploading the pictures first... Alhamdulillah Ilyas arrived in the world at 11.31pm on 24 February 2006. This is him still in the hospital. I just realised my pictures of him in the hospital are very limited. Z, can you please send me a copy of the picture you took and put up in your blog?

Thank You

First of all, I wish to thank everybody for your doa and prayers and your well wishes...
Yanis (I didn't know you read my blog! he he) and Liza, thanks for posting the comments... I really appreciate them.

Wowee, all I can say is I did not expect labour to be like that. I was admitted at 8am but Ilyas arrived at 11.30pm. When we were admitted, there was another delivery next door in progress. We could hear "Push! Push!" and the woman groaning away... It didn't help my nerves! But I screamed a lot louder than she did (I think) .. he he he... Now that its over, it feels surreal. Although I did dream about the labour that very night, and relived the sensations in the dream, the amnesia has already kicked in...

Ilyas is a big bundle of joy.. My goodness, I keep thinking, so this is how it feels like to be a mother.

Ilyas was readmitted to the hospital for jaundice on Wednesday. I cried buckets. I could not help myself. Alhamdulillah he has been discharged today. The jaundice level is going down but its still up there. I pray he will recover soon.

Well, it has only been a week. I think there are a lot more challenges ahead... I'll try to update my blog when Ilyas is asleep but I may go MIA for long periods of time. In the meantime, I've already uploaded some of his pics. It's really hard to capture a squirming baby on camera... Most of my shots are blurry and not as nice as the real thing... hee hee.. You guys can click on the picture to see other pictures of him on the flickr website.

Thanks again guys.
