New Beginnings

This blog is kicking me in the butt and I don't like to lose. A combination of laziness, winter blues and motherhood have kept me from blogging but that is going to change starting now. Are you ready for one massive update!

Last post was about Halloween.  Well November was a month of new beginnings for us. We were blessed by Allah once again with the birth of another baby boy named Zayn on November 19, 2009 at 8:30am.  Sulman and I couldn't be happier.  Here we are prepping for the birth:

When Zayn made his appearance we couldn't be happier!  He was born 7 pounds and 9 oz slighly smaller than Aydan but he looked considerably smaller.  Regardless he was still cute!

While I recoverd in hospital Aydan had his first sleep-over at Sophia and Ameenah's house.  Suprisingly he did very well and didn't seem to miss us one bit.
Due to the H1N1 spread I was not allowed to have any visitors for the 3 days I was in the hospital.  However, on my return home Aydan was so happy to meet me and his baby brother that he kept hearing so much about. 
Here's Zayn all ready to come home:

Here's Aydan meeting his brother for the first time!

Aydan did great!  He was not one bit jelous at all.  He wanted to hold Zayn and would always update me if he fell asleep or woke up.  For the first day he did amazing! However, later that night Aydan's temperature sky rocketed and a few days later was diagonsed with the H1N1 flu. The next few days our household was seperated.  I was with Zayn and Sulman with Aydan.  Aydan so badly wanted to sit with us but we had to avoid it because the baby could not be exposed to the flu.

A week later Aydan was better and resumed his relationship with his brother like nothing had happened!
