I can't believe my last post was like 5 months ago! anyway i know it's late saying this but i moved my blog to this location www.tempella.com yeah wordpress is great! so i guess this is me last post but that doesn't mean i don't read livejournal entries :) peace.

I already got my present on June 1st :)

p.s. I know the numbers 666 to some people is a bad omen or sign of the devil/beast but when it’s on your birthday it’s kinda cool.

I just came back from the hospital with our son in my arms :D , Ali is 8 lbs and 14 oz (about 4 kg) and he's 21 inches tall (53.3cm) , after 3 miscarriages and losing hope that I'll never see a child of my own finally now i could say i have a beautiful son! Thank you God for giving me this great gift.

So when my water broke at 4:30 am just after morning prayer we rushed to the hospital. At 5:30 am i got admitted and prepared in the delivery room, my mom and my DH were nervous and i was shaking all over i couldn't believe it was happening for real this time no false labor. My doctor asked me if i was having any contractions and i wasn't even though i was dilated 1.5 cm so we waited. When my contractions started i thought they would give me the epidural straight away but that wasn't the case, the nurse told me i had to wait until i was dilated 3 cm only then they'll give me the epidural, i endured the waves of massive pain that hit me, i screamed i cried and i felt like passing out.


After 6 hours of screaming i was dilated to 3 cm and the doctor okayed the epidural, oh my god! it felt great! no pain at all they also had me on Pitocin to speed up my contractions. My friends Shahara and Anna Marie came by i was happy mom was here she'll be my coach during my delivery and it's the first time she will witness a real actual birth. Time flew and my dilation was slowly progressing when it was 10:30 pm i was 9.5 cm dilated and i felt every contraction but no pain thank god only pressure.

At 11:10 pm i was fully dilated i started pushing with the help of my mom and the nurse, my DH was directing the whole thing with his camcorder. I admit watching a delivery on T.V is totally different when experiencing the real thing, pushing every time a contraction started was soooo exhausted and in between contraction my DH placed the oxygen mask on me i felt like passing out and couldn't push anymore. At the end mom had to stepped away and let the doctor and 2 nurses to finish their job, it was one last final push and there he was Ali came out screaming :D when they placed him in my arms we all cried especially mom praying and praising God almighty, words fail me as i can't exactly describe that precious moment. 17 hours of labor it was worth every second, minute and pain i would do it again.


My Miracle baby

After one whole year of not seeing her finally Mom is HERE! :D wish i could write more but we have lots of catching up to do :)

Current Mood: happy

Ever since i entered my 8th month and I've been feeling a bit depressed, i don't know why exactly maybe because i could barely walk due to back pains, or maybe because i feel so big always out of breath and tired. I haven't had a decent nights sleep my knees and legs cramp so bad to the point of crying, poor sweet husband he hasn't been sleeping either trying his best to massage my pain away, it does help tremendously. My friend told me it's normal to feel like that at the last 2 months i just have to be patient and bare with it, easily said then done, thankfully mom is coming soon now that's a happy thought!

Current Mood: depressed

After much thought my husband and i made a big decision this past 2 weeks we decided to buy a house! currently we're living in an apartment and with a baby on the way it's too small, having our own house would be just great plus no more rent to pay, at least we could finally install a satellite dish and watch KTV and other Arab channels hehehe......we are so excited and looking forward toward going house hunting :)

Current Mood: calm

Kuwait City, 23 March (AKI) - The first woman ever to stand in elections in Kuwait has started her campaign by bringing male and female voters together for the first time in more than four decades. Hundreds of men and women attended the landmark event in a huge tent where they listened to Jenan Bushehri who is vying to win a seat on the Kuwait City municipal council. It was the first time women have attended an election gathering in Kuwait since polls were held in 1962, and the first campaign event ever to be addressed by a woman. Men and women were however made to sit slightly apart from each other.


"I promise I will not disappoint you if you elect me," said Bushehri, who is contesting the April 4 by-election for a council seat in the district of Salmiya, some 15 kilometres southeast of Kuwait City. The seat fell vacant after the council chairman was appointed minister in the new Kuwaiti cabinet in February.





Wearing the traditional Muslim headscarf, Bushehri, 33, called on the audience to fight sectarianism and tribalism and pledged to combat red tape and corruption, allegedly rampant in the civic body.

Bushehri, who is married with two daughters, holds a masters in chemical engineering and is working on her doctorate. She heads the food examination department at the municipality.

Women in Kuwait have long held senior positions in the oil and education sectors, as well as in the diplomatic corps, but were only granted full political rights in a historic vote in parliament in May 2005. The government subsequently appointed two women members in the municipal council and named the first woman minister.

The first national elections in which female Kuwaitis will be voting and running for office will be in 2007.
