In the loving memory of my father.

hi and salaam.
it's been quite a while hasn't it.
things have been happening though i haven't been blogging as faithfully as i should.Guess that is expected and would be accepted from a new mother.(this time around i have a valid excuse eh?)

i cant go on as its been all lollipops and rainbows.
my father passed away a while ago.
On the 12th of April.

i just haven't been able to put myself to write about it.
every time i go to my parent's,i go thinking of seeing him.talking to him.
and then i remember that he's gone.still seems unreal.

i was with him the last moments of his life that he spent conscious..He was having very much difficulty breathing.,so he wasn't really able to speak,but i saw how strong and brave my father was.
He passed away while he was in the ICU, sedated,and i was called to the hospital and went there not even knowing that he had passed away. :-(
as i sat to write this post,i thought i was,but tears streaming down my face,i have only just realized that i am still not ready to talk about it..someday maybe i will be.maybe i wont.

the pain would never go away,but i guess it becomes more bearable over time.

He was a great man.

I am thankful that even though my daughter will never know her grandfather,her grandfather had met her.

and i am proud to be his daughter.
Even prouder to have had him as my father.

May Allaah ease his abode,have mercy on and bless his soul.

Our Baby Angel is finally here!

I just gave birth to our little Angel!
She is of today a week and three days old.
And i have been too busy to blog about it.
Yep,bad blogger i am,i know.
But you should forgive me,for i brought such wonderful news!

I went into labor close to dawn,January 7th.
After a few hours,(considering how long it could have been,and believe me it didn't at the time seem few,)at 12.50PM our first born,Noora binth Migdhadh was born,weighing 3.01 kg, shining into this world,bearing all the beauty in the world masha Allaah.
Now i am officially a mommy.
Its like i can no longer remember any pain i went through.

She is so sweet Masha Allaah,i can stare at her for hours straight.
I can't believe that something like her actually came out of me!ME!!!

Because of her,i now understand why mommy's make such a fuss.
And because of her,i see the whole world in a whole different light.
I've come to feel feelings that I've never felt before.
I've found a true,a new meaning to my existence.A purpose for my life.
And because of her,the man whose status in front of me i thought couldn't become any higher,just became twice as important to me as my own life.

There can definitely be not much that is as significant as becoming a mother.

It's the end of a chapter in my life.
And a whole new beginning to a whole new chapter,a whole new world.

I'm all smiles.
all thanks.

Alhamdulillaah.

Angelique-ical updates.Or something like that.

ahem.
i am officially the worst blogger.Ever.
(This is where you try to convince me that i am not.lol.but don't even try.because that even sounds tempting to give into.lol.)

I have been doing so much crafting yet i haven't posted about a single one of them!

So not to make myself feel bad,I've been convincing myself that i am going to do it soon.insha Allaah.

Update on my pregnancy..
The second trimester is almost over..Can you believe that????:-) :-) :-D
Our little Angel kicks around and plays inside me all over the place now,Masha Allaah..what a beautiful feeling..
So far,hubby has been only able to feel it two times..(I cannot forget ever how happy he looked that night when he first felt it..:-) )
I am feeling pretty good too,Hamdulillaah..No more extreme tiredness and fatigue.The nausea and morning sickness completely gone,it's like i never had it!(Did i have it? LOL..)
But of course there is this new routine of one thousand pee breaks every night.and then,my baby seems think that my bladder is a trampoline.or its exactly the spot where the baby wants to sit,even when not jumping sky high bouncing off it.,lol.
And my super fragile bones.That's the one thing that really bothers me these days.can't sit in one place,it hurts so so bad.(which is all too important for my crafting needs.)
Other than that i am perfectly happy hamdulillaah.

how i soo soo wish to hold my little angel soon..

I am trying to make the most of these days,as the second trimester is what they call the best days of the pregnancy.
that is so true.

thank you so much,you have all been so sweet checking on me!

cya soon..tc all of ya.
lotsa love,
Angeliquez

Heart felt..

Look what i just received!
A lovely package from sister Aida!I had mentioned that I'd love to work with felt,and that it wasn't available to me here,so she sent me some!
isnt that just awesome?

Thankyou sooo much sister Aida!
i received it yesterday.She had also put in a felt apple and a flower brooch..Her work is amazing..wanted to post about it and mail her right away,but couldn't as my net connection was down.So after i wa done dancing around the house dancing with joy, i spent most of last evening playing with my new treasure.
Here is what i came up with..

A strawberry magnet.Now it lives on our fridge,holding notes and scribbles in place.

Another strawberry i stitched on my maternity dungaree chest pocket.I had previously undone what was originally there.
(Yep,that's where luscious strawberries came from.I LOVE strawberries!)

And this baby,would be my first donut.:-)It's for my sister.
I have so many ideas making crazy havoc in my already jumbled up mind.i'd be running back to show em to ya as soon as is showable!lol!

Thankyou again sooo much sister Aida..

have a nice day..i think ive more felting to do!

xoxo,
Angeliquez
