Something I was waiting for... I finally properly felt the BABY! :-D I would describe it as little ripples or jabs (very slight) which I definitely haven't felt before. It happened on Monday (05/03/2012) at my desk at work around midday, after I had eaten a bowl of porridge with bananas.(guess he/she liked it!)
I have felt something before (as in my previous post) but afterwards I always become unsure that it wasn't actually baby........maybe just stomach grumblings or something! This time I am a bit more sure as I haven't felt it before and also it was on my left side only (and we know by now that the baby likes to hang out there!)

Baby's big breakfast!
Had the yummiest breakfast today! I can't eat runny eggs unfortunately as there is a risk of salmonella to the baby but it was still rather delish! mmmmmmmm. All washed down with a mug of hot tea :-)

An eventful weekend
Last Sunday (26/02/12) we had some family friends round for lunch. They hadn't been able to make it to the wedding so came to say their congrats. Woke up in a rush as we had all been out late the night before; we went to Tayyabs in East London to celebrate Dan's birthday. It was that evening in the car after dinner,we were going to Leicester Square and I def felt something! It was all of a sudden and felt like bubbles. I've felt flutters on one other occasion as well but I wasn't sure! But these bubbles def felt different. Sadly I haven't felt them since! Baby's gone quiet...
On the Sunday we had a bit of a scare cos we thought my waters were breaking! NHS Direct was pretty useless and told me to go to the hospital to have a check up. Dad was sure it was nothing and asked Irshad uncle as well who said it was all normal. Anyhoo went to hospital the next day to check everything was okay. Alhumdulilah all was good although it seems my bladder is a bit on the weak side! When the midwife found baby's heartbeat I couldn't help grinning, cheesy as it sounds! Looked over at hubby and he was smiling too! It's a lovely familiar sound now mashallah. So all is good! And I just have food on the mind right now! Had an amazing burrito for Lunch with Dan and then some spaghetti. Wondering what mum has cooked for dinner :)

Train musings
Today I'm 14th weeks! Although it seems to be going v slowly and I'm really impatient to meet the lil one iA! I wonder if it's a boy or a girl? At first I wanted a boy because I have an old fashioned idea of my kids having an older brother to protect them. However upon reading a verse in the Quran I am now eagerly anticipating a healthy girl or boy, whoever Allah wills :)
'To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren whom He wills. Verily, He is the All-Knower and is Able to do all things.' (42: 49-50)
Me and hubby were trying to guess from the 12 week Scan pictures but we were totally clueless! I feel more full of energy today. Let's hope it lasts. Have bought some pasta for lunch (made by hubby) and my usual obsession Quavers! Although I think I am going off them now! I bought some pretzels yesterday and prefer them at the mo. Hmmmm... I've totally gone off sweet stuff since December however i am getting better. I managed to polish off 2 slices of viccy sponge last night when mum came round. :) yet I still have big cravings for savoury. No banoffee pies for me just yet! Makes a big change for me as hubby will sadly confirm! When we went to Turkey I was eating baklava by the bucket load! Baby seems fairly quiet at the moment! Although the other night B gave me a big cramp when I was trying to sleep! I don't mind as it is a sign all is growing as it should. But I do wish B would pick his growing moments better! I haven't been sick since 01 Feb which is amazing. Although I still feel queasy most of the time but def much better. The sickness from December onwards was a nightmare! It was mostly in the morning. Twice I was sick on Fleet st as I walked up to wrk. The train journeys were the worst; they made me feel more nauseous. I was also v exhausted all the time and would fall asleep on the sofa by 9pm almost every night. That has improved also but tiredness still comes quickly. All this really makes me aware of the status of parents as Allah has stated in the Quran... these verses actually make me well up! :'( I do truly appreciate my parents however this has given me a different level of appreciation especially now that I know what mum had to go through.
'And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. (31:14)
