Raising Yousuf and…..
Ok, I figure its about time I make an announcement about this. But you know how it is when you forget to tell someone something, until the announcement, or phone call or whatever, becomes obscenely, inappropriately overdue?
Well the big news is: Soon, inshallah, Yousuf will have a sibling! That's right, we are expecting our second child around the new year, which makes me 28 week/7 months pregnant.
Yousuf has already taken to his new role as older sibling like a fish to water, and has promised to help me change diapers (a proposition I'm not likely to take him up on, unless perhaps I am in a state of sleep-deprivation induced delerium). His curiosity is also peaking, as he endlessly asks "how they will get the baby out" ("do they rip you open?") and when it will be time to bring her home.
The doc says its a little girl, so we are looking forward to some degree of relative quiet, but then again you never know with these things! Pls. feel free to submit your name suggestions too! Maybe I should hold a competition-most original girl's name? Name we are considering: Rawan, Salwa, Jana, Kawthar, haya, malak.

Congratulations! Good luck and may your children live in peace and freedom.
What about Aya? I named my daughter that since my mother-in-law and mom like the name. If both in-laws like the name, who am I to argue with them lol

eid Mubarak to you all
Congratulations!!!
You know, I dropped by hoping to see a post about Yousuf, because it had been a while. I also have thought that you seemed a bit preoccupied lately -- with all due respect -- just less posts. Now it all makes sense. :)
Wonderful news! Best wishes to you and to your family. Looking forward to your posts. :)
Big hugs!

All pretty names. Perhaps her middle name can be Salam, with the hope that her generation will see peace in their lifetime.

Blessings to you Laila and the entire family. Here's hoping the rest of your pregnancy is without incident and that your daughter is healthy.
Oooohh, I get to be first to say congratulations. Your wonderful family of three will be even better when it numbers four! Enjoy the pregnancy and your "only child" until the new arrival.

Many congratulations, may your new little one arrive in safety and grow in peace and beauty. But don't expect a daughter to necessarily be quieter! I have two sons and a daughter myself, and each is/was a lively soul in his or her own way. Your names are very lovely.
Congratulations!! How about Mishaal or Layan or Jennah?
congratulations!

I don't know the appropriate Arabic way of congratulating in such occasions, so Mazal Tov, Layla.
How about nur? I'm sure it's not original but I like it.

Mabruuk, Um Yousuf! I haven't been keeping up with you like I wanted to but I am overjoyed to hear the news.
If you see Fida, can you have her email me? I tried to txt but it apparently isn't getting through.
