My blessing's first pic

pregnancy is definately a physcial experience! I am tired, hungrey but not hungry, kinda nausous but not vomiting [thank God!] and very tender areas
 I pray for the strength to still go about my daily tasks and be responsible

I had my first prenatal appointment and the confirmation of blessing inside- I'm offically now 6 weeks so its great to know all looks good- we could see the heartbeat. now its about eating healthy, which is so hard for me to get all the needed vitamins daily. Right now hubby is cooking some protein for me- I just need discipline.

so I'll be sleeping soon and I need to remember to be strong, mature, and thinking of the choices needed to be made for baby

all praises be to God

Allah's Blessing: Pregnancy

Well I guess this blog will turn into a journal for a little bit- I am going to have a baby! I took two pregnancy tests before going to a clinic. I can't remember what made me take them except my period was only red spotting and very short. I guess God guided me to discover the great news.

Offiically [through a great free pregnancy clinic, thank God] I found out that I was pregnant on 1/11 Tuesday and am so happy- we have been trying for a few months and just accepting that it was Gods will that I wasn't pregnant yet. *funny note- the clinic was a Christian non-profit and when I filled out the form with 'Muslim' as my religion, they included a pamphlet titled 'to my muslim friend' in my folder.
What is annoying me is that I didn't keep track of the date of my last period in December so that I can know the due date- I'm guessing it was around 12/3 with due date of 9/9.

I feel so blessed and happy- also very worried and shocked. I worry about miscarriage and the dozens of complications that can arise. I am working on just trusting God and accepting God's will, come what may.

So I am 6 weeks along and my baby is the size of a sprinkle- crazy! I decided on a names: a boy will be Suvad and a girl will be Amalie (I'm still deciding on the spelling as it could be Amelie or Amelee) this name reflects my french creole heritage. I haven't revealed it to hubby yet, and I'll have to fight with him on my family's tradition on first born boys' middle names but that can wait. : )




Symptoms: I've started really feeling the fatigue today and had small cramps the other day. No vomiting, thank God.
Also I feel so lifted, mood-wise- which is really great because there were several things this week that would have stressed me out at work; but now I take it in stride. Praises be to Allah and I pray for all to have successful pregnancies and also to those suffering in the world
