Pregnancy and Niagra falls= not a good mix! Funnyy story!


Salaaaam!! :)

During the 1st trimester -You're not sick so don't only consume soup/gator aid/Popsicle's! In the beginning I kept treating my morning sickness as if it was a cold. haha all I wanted was soup and all that did was make me more nauseous. Its just morning sickness try eating those preggie pops or ginger to calm it down, eat light meals.

-Don't go on any boats! (trust me not a good idea)! Made that mistake when I went the Maid of the Mist boat ride in Niagara falls. Funny story actually.....my hubby asked me if I was up to going on it..&& of course I wanted too! That was one of the main attractions at the Falls. Correction-going on the water to look at the falls is the attraction! haha. I quickly agreed got in line, put the little blue rain coat over my head and waited with anticipation to get on. I climbed up the stairs and went on the top part of the boat (to make sure I saw everything)! *Bad idea #2 lool. The first few minutes weren't so bad. But after 10minutes into it & waves hitting the boat making it shake all over the place. It was all over for me. I felt horribly nauseas my face went pale. I had to lay my head on one hand as the other hand was holding on the boat. My hubby kept telling me to look at the falls. As much as I wanted to before at this point all I wanted to do is jump off the boat and swim back to land. (really, at one point I thought that). && Apparently some guy asked his girl to marry him right behind us and I didn't even notice!!

-Things you can do before you got pregnant isn't necessarily the same things you can do after. Example #1 above. Before I never got any motion sickness but it was still the first trimester and my stomach was still weak.

-skip ahead 5-6 months later. I was huge and was a walking kangaroo. Don't try to wear yourself out at this stage. Its too late in the game. A walk in the grocery store after a hour or so wore me out!!!! Literally I would have to take a nap after and If I didn't I was crankkyyy! (btw;I didn't really exercise regularly) So if you do then you shouldn't have a problem but still take it easy on yourself.
--picture above isn't my babyyy but mashaAllah whataaa cutie :)!!

It takes a village to raise a kid?

Salaam!

Obviuosly different people have different opinions and views right?!! SO "It takes a village to raise a child" seems that would be more hectic and confusing. While it sounds nice in theory but in practice it could be a different story at least thats what I think. And while I love to get a persons input on how to raise a child at times it seems like that line could get crossed quite easily. If ya know what I meann.. ARG. Hmmm maybe I'm taking it to literal and really it just means the community as a whole has some kind of influence on the child. I don't know...

O'Allah They are weak before you!





Never lose hope in Allah. Never forget the power of dua.
O`Allah grant the Muslims victory, unite our Ummah with lā ʾilāha ʾillallāh, Muḥammad rasūlu-llāh. O'Allah put fear in the hearts of the munafiqeen. O'Allah strengthen the army of the true Muslims fighting for freedom under the oppressors. Even though there numbers are small allow them to defeat the tyrants. Ameen.
