Introducing A'ishah or, as it will probably be written by Milady's side of the family, A'isyah. AKA "Mibaby" (courtesy of Izzy Mo) and "ADsg" (me). A'ishah was born yesterday (July 18th) at 11:41 am at KK Women's & Children's Hospital here in S'pore. She weighed in at 3.745 kg (slightly under 8 lbs., 4 oz.) and is 52 cm (20.5") long. Both she and Milady are doing well. This is the first child for both Milady and I.
Yesterday was a very emotional day for all of us. Milady and I have been trying to have kids for all five years of our marriage. And even though we had gone through IVF for a number of years now, all of our efforts had failed up through this point. Even with A'ishah we had a couple of scares along the way but, thankfully, everything worked out in the end. All praise, credit and honor goes to Allah (swt) who answered our prayers.
BTW, I did recite the adhan/iqamah to the baby yesterday. Now I'm off back to the hospital; needless to say, blogging will be very sporadic in the next few days.
Update: Milady and Mibaby came home from the hospital today (Monday, July 21st). The jaundice wasn't severe enough to keep Mibaby at the hospital, and Milady is recovering well from the surgery. This is a very quiet baby, who rarely cries (so far); she takes after her daddy, according to her mommy. :)

AA- JD,
Mabruk and Congrats! Very cute baby, especially her eyes!
May Allah protect her and her parents in your collective efforts to please Him.
Asalaamu alaikum.
Mabruk brother! Absolutely darling. :)
Wa 'alaikum salaam, and thank you to both of you. I just got back from the hospital a few minutes ago. Both Milady and Mibaby are doing well, although Mibaby has a bit of jaundice at the moment. I'm not surprised, and we're not worried. Otherwise, A'ishah is doing fine. Both of us are feeding her, and she's been an absolute delight. About her eyes, yes, they're very interesting. Both of us have been saying that she looks a little Chinese. :) (Which is certainly a possibility from Milady's side of the family; one of my brothers-in-law has a very Chinese look to him, even though he's ethnically Malay.) More later, insha'allah.
Mashallah what a cutie pie! Congrats to the proud mommy and daddy :D
Masha'Allah. Mibaby is here and she's sooooo cute! May Allah shower his abundant blessings on you and your family! Mabrouk, mabrouk!!! And may Allah heal her jaundice straight away.
Congratulations, John and Fatimah. Jan, Olivia and I wish you all of God's blessings for your new family. A'ishah is adorable!
It just occured to me last week that we have been friends for 10 years, starting with a little road trip to Denver. Look how far we've come.
