Presenting the new addition to my family

Wif the blessings of Allah SWT, this li'l chap finally made his entry into our household (forced to come out 3wks earlier, on 31 Aug 2006 @ 0830hrs)!!  Oh...he shares the same b'day as Richard Gere, btw, but Sis says "my baby is cuter than Richard Gere!!"

            

Welcome to da big bad nasty world, "Muhammad Amsyar" (name pending evaluation & may subject to change)!  Come out only, he used his Mommy's hp to sms his aunt "Hello Maasi :-)"  Whoooaaa...Gen-Y baby...well done!!

Surprise surprise?!?!  Yea, I know I know...not even once did I mention abt him rite?!?!  That's coz I was protecting him (and his parents) from evil eyes.  Believe me, even at home, not even once did I show any happiness or excitement, or discuss the issue.  No, it's not that I'm not happy for Sis, but my happiness is always short-lived...so no way was I gonna let my ill-luck be casted upon my family's happiness.  My Sis, for being a wonderful human being (unlike me!) surely deserves this happiness & I wasn't abt to shatter her long-awaited dream by opening my mouth or expressing my happiness (knowing that it's always shortlived).

Anyways, now everything's Alhamdulillah (Insyallah!).  Sis, who's a big time coward, made it thru' normal delivery (induced), w/o the help of epidural & made us all proud!  Mom gav her an ultimatum "U wanna experience the joy of motherhood, give birth naturally, if u dowan to endure the pain, fine, go get a Caesarian!".  Immediately after delivery, not expecting Mom 2b arnd & pleasantly surprised 2c her outside the labour ward, she thanked Mom for that ultimatum which made her decide to endure the pain!  I was in touch wif her via sms & knowing both Sis & baby (2.76kg) were doing alright altho' baby is in Special Care Nursery, I went on to work as per normal...planning 2 giv Sis a visit after work.  When Mom tol me that the Nursery's visiting hrs is 6-8pm, I tol her I'll make it b4 8pm, but even if I dun, it's ok if I dun see the baby...afterall, I'm going 2 visit Sis...can always c the baby another day! 

As usual, made commitment rite...so had 2 get delayed @ work!  On top of it, my fuel is almost E(mpty) so had to go top-up petrol 1st b4 dashing to KKH.  Drove like a maniac & made it in time @ 7.50pm where Mom hurried me in (Dad arrived from work juz b4 I did)...she almost thought I wasn't gonna make it 2c my nephew today!!  Seeing both new mommy & baby doing pretty alright, Mom-Dad-I made a move 45mins later.

Initially, Sis was sad to learn of the gender of her baby (eventually, she learnt to accept)...Sis wanted so much for me to share her joy & was desperately hoping for a girl (as I don't like boys!) so she can be the apple of my eyes...She even went arnd saying she prays day & nite that her baby will come out to look like Abhishek (as tho that's even remotely possible!!)...but what's impt for me when it comes to her is not the gender of her baby, but the GIFT Allah has bestowed upon her...afterall, what btr gift can she ask for her 5th wedding anniversary...after tolerating wagging tongues for 5yrs?!

So...Happy 5th Anniversary to her, this coming 8th Sep, & I hope wif the arrival of this new responsibility, she'll change 2b more mature, independent & responsible!!!  Ameeen!

PS:- Bro muz b elated he finally has a team-member...been the only boy for 24yrs, now he has a supporter (A Dog baby like him!).  In fact, baby is already his Mamu's supporter since inside the womb...talk bad abt his Dad for all he cares, but talk bad abt his Mamu & he starts kicking in protest!!  Mamu ki chamche...hmmppphhh!  It's ok, I'm happy I didn't get a niece, lest I'll no longer be the youngest PRINCESS @ home!!
