God's tiny miracle!


kisses
Originally uploaded by gulnaz.

Allah blessed my brother and my family with a lil baby daughter today. I held the wee bonnie lass for a few seconds and it was like holding a handful of roses or candy fluff...she is so soft and tiny and all pink!
She is kept in the nursery today but she is fine otherwise. Though she was born a few weeks earlier and through a C-section, she is a healthy 7-pound and the mama's is fine too! I am sooo happy, quite overwhelmed with emotions, will write about those emotions later, just wanted to share the good news first and thank you everyone for their good wishes. I am quite drunk on happiness right now to compose my thoughts. :)

aahhhhhh! she is adorable. look at her pouty mouth. thanks for sharing and enjoy all the emotions and feelings that go along with it. congratulations to your family :) and her name is??

mermaid said...

What's her name? Sorry, that may be personal. Hey Gulnaz, what are the literal translations of Sahil and Aman. Don't know whether mine is a boy or girl yet. I've got the girl's name, but a boy's name is hard.

She is sooooo CUTE!!!

Lorena said...

ooops, my apology if asking for the name is too personal. (read mermaid's comment) just a habit when i'm introduced to a newborn.
i'll just call her cutie pie ;)

gulnaz said...

Virumandi, thanks viru, of course feel free to blogroll, would be my honor. :)

Isha, Thanks, she really is! :):)

Joel, yes, i plan to do that, was telling her parents too. with the net and tv, it has to be inculcated and nothing better than a story read. Dad has already got her a beautiful illustrated dictionary for her. :) as a kid he would record us stories on tapes for the times when he was travelling and he has a beautiful, expressive voice too. thanks! :)

Joe, oh yeah! :)

A warm loving hug for her from me:)May she retain her innocence and purity at all times

gulnaz said...

JyotsnaYes jyo she looks so pure, as if angels came down and left her there on the bed as a gift for us. i didnt know i was a babies person, lol. She is so tiny...i want to hug her tight and kiss her little kissy-face but i'm always scared of hurting her when i pick her up. ;)want her to grow up fast and then i can hug her tight. :)
