The whole first week of May I was experiencing light contractions or some doctors call it Braxton Hicks so I waited patiently for the labour process to begin but it never did. Najihah was the only baby where I experienced a natural labour process and so I thot' it could be the same for this baby. But after a week it still did not take place and I knew at my next check the doctor would ask me to take the baby out.
Therefore might as well choose a date and we chose May 10, a day after Mother's Day and a nice number too. 10/5/10. Besides, I was ready than ever to have her born.
Introducing ..... Khadijah:
She is today 4 days old and what is she like so far? She has quite a temper, rather impatient little baby. I have not seen her smile only cry. And when she cries she does not start slow like babies usually do but hits the max level immediately.
She finally fell asleep here after a fitful of crying for milk. She is hungry most of the time for milk. How are the kids taking her? They love her, even Ali, who starts well with kissing and stroking her head lovingly befor he goes for the prodding and pressing. NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE ALI ALONE WITH KHADIJAH.
I have not taken many pictures of Khadijah yet. We are still setlling in and getting used to a rather topsy turvy sleep pattern. As my friends say, sleepless in Ara has begun.
My friends dropped by the hospital and this is Zaidah who last held her own baby 7 years ago. In this picture Khadijah looks so much like Ali. She looks different everyday and guess we have to wait and see who she looks after but she has a bit of each of her siblings in her.
These are all her godmothers! Zaidah, Hazleen, Shikin, Sherie and Jami. I think there are more godmothers.Please stay tuned for more pictures.
