Ex-Pampers: Muslim Mummys

Slms ladies

Firefly - sorry about the MS. I found that when I ate constanly snacking on items it helped a bit. apparently ginger tablets also worked, my friend swore by it. Boston is lovely - had my big boss out here today from Boston so had to entertain him for the day! What are you studying? Me and hubby visited Harvard and it was so lovely just to be there. Can imagine studying there must be great!

Went for my 7 month (28 week checkuo today) and the girls are doing unbelievably well. The one is 1.3kg and the other is 1.4kg's so all in all I'm carrying 2.7kg of babies, 2 placentas and amniotic fluid which generally takes me to a full term singleton pregnancy at the moment! Gynae checked that my cervix is still closed so no signs of preterm labour just yet Now to keep it like that till the new year! Hold thumbs! Also got my steroid injection today for their lungs (for just in case they decide to come early). Off to have the other tomorrow. Wish me luck as its quite sore (in the buttocks)!

Have a lovely evening ladies!

Salaams Ladies

Thank you for your duas, alhamdulillah my morning sickness has really improved. I was so desperate last week, I was getting ready to phone the nurse at my gynae's office to beg them for a prescription for something to help the nausea (which is a big thing for me because I would usually prefer homeopathic remedies) - and then, I was browsing the net and somehow Allah guided me to this e-book on using acupressure techniques to help with ms. I was so desperate I bought it and alhamdulillah, it is definitely helping. I still have some nausea but it is a hundred times better.

Nayeelah - I'm only 8 weeks along, so ms is pretty normal at this stage. I just make dua it all stops by 12 weeks, I cannot bear the thought of dealing with this any longer than that. Your cakes are really pretty. I usually love to bake but the ms has completely put me off food.

Mummoo - Boston is really lovely although it's getting cold - we just had snow last night, which is very early as they usually only get snow around Christmas. We relocated because I'm studying here for a year. All I can say is that Allah is the best of planners because even though I'm struggling with the ms and classes, I would definitely not have coped if I had been at home at work!

Lagarbah - that website is a really cool idea

Fawhaway - nice to see you around too!

I'm starting to miss home a little now because you guys are having such awesome warm weather!

Slm ladies...

No I am not a fashion designer unfortunately... just interested in making it easier for muslimahs looking for fashionable yet modest clothing:))) hence the website.

Shukran nayeela:))) I could put your moms details of her shop on my website if you like? let me know.

Salaam all.

Mummoo - That is awesome! Its nice when you raise some money and awareness for a good cause. My business donates quite a bit as well. I strongly believe in giving back if you can and I love doing it as well. I am actually donating a cake to one of the wards at Red cross hospiatl for National Children's Day. Business is going well. I am getting quite busy especially when I run a promotion every now and then.

Do share my business name with others who might want a cake or cupcakes

Lagarbah - Can you email me on nayeela@cell-life.org with regards to the hijaab. My mom has a shop in Mauritius that focuses on arabic wear and she often comes to South Africa to order stock. I was thinking that if your price is right and she likes your designs, she could order from you. She orders in bulk as well so it might be a good sale for you :) She might be coming in December so maybe then you can show her what you have got :)
keep in touch.

Take care everyone!

Nayeela - your cakes looks delicious! How is your business doing?
We had our cake sale yesterday and I baked an apple cake. It went really well and we made over R1300 and donated it to CANSA for breast cancer awareness month.

Lagarbah - I've received the invitation to that fashion show. Looks like fun. Are you a designer as well?

Me mot in the mood for work but guess I have to do something productive today!

Later

Salaams Ladies,

Suhaila - I live in Johannesburg, I wanted to know from Durban mommies, what do you use to prevent mosquito bites on your little one, I am coming to Durban this year on holiday and I know how much we suffered last year with mosquito bites.

Lagarbah - will definately look at your website. Wish I was in CT to go to the show, I need to make 2 outfits for weddings in December and have no clue what design I want.

We doing qurbani this year, just not sure where as yet.

Take care ladies
