Assalaamu Alaykum Lovely Sisters!
I never intended to neglect this blog the way I've been doing recently. My apologies! Ever since being back in Pensacola I've been incredibly busy! Each morning I wake up early to drive to my sister's house and watch her two boys until the mid-afternoon. After they go home I normally have other things to do such as homework or running errands! I'm not complaining though. In fact, I really like being this busy. It's a nice change from being at home with not much to do for the past few months.
On Monday I begin my internship with Loaves & Fishes. It's an agency that works with the homeless population here in town. I'm very excited and I pray I will be good at this job. My nerves often get the best of me in new situations like this, but I have a few ideas in mind that could help me achieve success in this area, insha'allah. Make du'a for me please!
As for other news, I'm really hoping my husband and I were successful at fertilizing my egg this past month! LoL My not-so-dear Aunt Flow was due on Monday, but still a no show. I've taken a few pregnancy tests, but all are negative. I am praying I still have a chance! Make du'a for us again, pretty please! It would really be perfect timing for us to get pregnant right now. For anyone wondering about me being pregnant and on my anxiety medication, that is all figured out. I've talked to my doctor and we have made some decisions as to changing my medication soon, insha'allah. What I really want to do is get off medication completely. I hate being so dependent on it! Sadly, paxil is one of those drugs you have to slowly wean yourself off of. Insha'allah I wont be struggling through the process.
Insha'Allah everyone is well and I am still around reading everyone's blogs! May Allah protect you all from evil and hardships. Ameen.
Salaam alaikum sister,
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for a while, but don't think I've ever commented. Anyways, I just wanted to say that insh'Allah I will be keeping you in my du'ah for a baby and a healthy pregnancy ^_^
salaams Elisa!
ReplyDeleteMay Allah (swt) make things easy for you and bless you and your husband with a beautiful, healthy baby, ameen.
Not to long ago, I was interning and at the time my husband and I were trying (once every few months since we werent that sure we wanted to get pregnant). I remember thinking how great it would be if I got pregnant while interning! Well, that didnt happen and when I did get pregnant I was so happy Allah waited to give me a baby lol. I had the worst morning sickness that had I been pregnant during my internship there is no way I would have completed the hours needed to graduate =/
Im not trying to discourage you btw =) inshaAllah your pregnancy will be easy!
Anyway, good luck and enjoy your placement! Im sure you will learn a lot and also offer the agency a lot too!
Ayah,
ReplyDeleteWa alaykum assalaam! I am always so happy to hear from a follower :) Insha'Allah you are doing well! Thank you so very much for your sweet comment. May Allah bless you and your loved ones. Ameen!
Rene,
Ameen!! Thank you for your kindness, my dear sister! You are not discouraging in any way :) In fact, I've thought about that. I guess I'm willing to take that chance and pray for the best! I don't worry so much about these things because I truly know that Allah will always choose what's best for me. Insha'Allah you are doing well!! May Allah reward you for all your kindness. Ameen!
Assalamualaikum dear Eliza!
ReplyDeleteOUUUH MABROOK ! :D
Ma'shallah dear ~ you're so blessed >w< HOW exciting! I am so happy for you!!! I want babiessss so bad too :( but we're not ready and I leave it to Allah for creating out future soon insha'allah...I don't want to be an old mom though xD
I've been catching up on your life! hehe just read some of your posts I've missed. I've been so swamped and busy as well and I've finally gotten a few days I can sit and relax!!!
Good luck dear and may Allah bless you and your hubby!
xx
p.s. I still write in my old blog~ you might need to re-follow it as I changed the URL ; )
I'll keep making du'a for you and your (future)baby!
ReplyDeleteTwo things, I took a pregnancy test the day of my missed period and it was negative. I didn't take one again for six days and that's when I got a positive. Maybe it just hasn't been long enough...or maybe your cycle is just playing tricks on you. :)
As to what Rene said, I too was very sick in my pregnancy, but I didn't let that stop me from doing what needed to be done. The summer of my pregnancy I took two classes (one in Summer I and one in Summer II) and worked everyday after class. My schedule was literally, go to class, eat lunch, puke, go to work. Sometimes I managed to puke before I ate lunch, which was better because then I wouldn't feel hungry again, lol. It sounds ridiculous, and I still can't go in that university bathroom without remembering my head in the toilet...but it became a routine, almost normal. After the first 18 or 19 weeks (long, I know) I quit being sick which was great because then the real semester was beginning.
I went to school and worked up until the Friday before I gave birth (I went to the hospital Saturday and had Noah Sunday) so I know, insha'Allah, if you find you are pregnant you'll be bale to handle it, as well. (After giving birth on Sunday I actually went back to school for finals that next Wednesday....that I would NOT recommend) :) Keep us posted!
Jess,
ReplyDeleteWa alaykum as salaam, dear sister! So happy to hear from you :) May Allah bless you hun!! I, too, don't want to be an old mom which is why I've been feeling so rushed to have children soon. LoL Although, I know that's just in my mind and even if I don't have children till my 30's I'm sure it will be okay. In my family, all the women had their first child before 25. Yikes! I'm feeling left behind. LoL Well, insha'allah I am pregnant. . .that would be sweeeet!
I'll go check out your blog. I just realized I haven't read a new post from you in forever and now I realize it's most likely because you changed your url!
Nikki,
Masha'allah, you are a strong woman for dealing with the lengthy sickness while you were pregnant. Yes, I'm sure if I'm pregnant and get bad morning sickness I will deal with it just the way you did. Insha'Allah it won't be so bad though. Also, I figure if I get preggers now than by the time the baby is born me and my husband will be done with school!
Thanks for the du'as!!! I love you ladies so much for the sake of Allah (swt)! I must be one of the luckiest girls in the world to have gotten to know such fabulous women around the world, masha'allah!
Assalamu aleikum! Wait, you're in Pensacola? Wow, maybe I should just stop along the way to visit with all the sisters when I go home. So many people are close to where I am or my family lives, it's crazy! :)
ReplyDeleteWa Alaykum assalaam Heather! That would be soooooo wonderful to meet you!! Insha'Allah we will get the chance one day :)
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Pensacola before? If you're ever on your way over, please let me know!!!!
