Some updates from me...
Salaam Everyone!!
First off, Happy Independence Day to all my American friends.... Hope you all enjoyed the festivities.
I am now in my 5th month of pregnancy. Alhamdulillah! I am truly amazed at what we as women can do with our bodies. I have an ongoing battle with swelling. No amount of walking, water intake or elevation will get rid of this. Matter of fact, it was so bad today I could not put on my flip flops (keep in mind I bought them 4 sizes larger than I normally wear) which made me reach for my phone and take the day off. Hard to go to work with out shoes! LOOL I feel the baby move more and more every day. It leaves me in awe. This is something I have wanted my whole life so it is a bit surreal that it is actually happening! Mashallah!
We are almost moved into the final house we saw. I can not wait to be completely in but when you are 5 months pregnant, work for 9 hours a day and it is on average 120 degrees outside, you tend to move a bit slow.
As for the second wife issue. I do my best not to think too much about it. I have too much more to focus on in my life right now...like getting my shoes to fit. : =) It is what it is and it's just time to move on from that topic. Sure, I still have my freak out sessions but life is too short. I love my husband, my life and my home. Why keep fussing over something that is halal? Leave it be.
Hmm.. What else is going on? Ohh, I have 3 fast days to make up from last year but I am not sure if I will do them. They say you can fast while pregnant but I really do not think that is something I will choose to do. August, Middle East, pregnant and no water?...That really is not that tough of a decision to make. My babies health comes first. Although my waist line could afford to fast a few days...Sheesh! I am a big lard butt these days.. I am sure packing on the pounds.. It seems to have happened over night. I was so sick in the beginning and now I cant get enough to eat. Before I knew it, 10 kilos added on to the scale. May God help me!
Hugs to all of you out there! Take care....be safe.
Salaam!

Happy Birthday America!!
God Bless The USA

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I'd worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
