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
