Falling In Love

IMG_5296

Matt and I have spent the day getting to know Maze – we took a bajillion photographs, worked on a video, re-counted the entire birth together (most of which I barely remember!) so I can recall the details when I write my birth story, practiced breastfeeding, and did some skin-to-furr bonding.

Here are some of our favorite photos!!

    Congratulations and I can’t wait to hear your full birth story. 🙂 Seeeeee, didn’t we tell you to be patient and it’ll be worth the wait? My first was about 40 weeks, 6 days and my 2nd child was about 39 weeks, 6 days counting from when we conceived. Of course because we were trying for several years & had some miscarriages, I always marked everything down so it was just our good estimate. 😉 God knows the exact date and time the baby wants to come out and I felt at peace in the last weeks and just try to stay close to home. Thankfully my water broke at home for both children where I was close to bathtowels and my bathroom. Enjoy the bonding. Please don’t feel obligated to blog until you got everything in the “Mommy” department finished because the readers can wait. 🙂 The time goes fast from now on. I love the sentence that you said “you could do it all over again even with the pain and temporary discomfort” when you meet and hold your precious child that lived inside of you for nine months. It truly is a miracle.

    I do not remember much about labor & delivery either, but I was medicated.

    I have never seen a baby smile so much as Mazen does. He is such a cutie!

I had a baby boy back in December 2010 and life has never been the same. Boys are so sweet and I know people tell you this all the time, but they grow so fast! Treasure every single newborn second (sounds like you are!) because he will be running circles around you before you know it. He is so beautiful and I wish you nothing but the best!! xoxo

    Oh Kath, the first few weeks are so precious (well ALL the weeks are precious, but still)…..soak up every single itty bitty moment! The way the newborn baby still curls up in a ball on your shoulder….the tiny mouse squeaks….the adorable newborn grunts. Ooooooh how I remember those sweet moments. They grow so quickly but the good news is that you continue to discover and fall in love with new things every single day. Parenthood is the BEST! Enjoy!

    I love your sweet babe’s face and the happy glow around you too…as my best friend and I discussed the possibility of my hubs and I trying for “maybe baby” time, I hear her BEST advice come to mind whilst looking at your photos…”think of all the feelings you have yet to FEEL”…you are feeling them, and thank you for letting us in on your newest addition!

    First off…that view is AMAZING…I’d never want to leave! Second…I’ve been reading your blog for so long, that in the weirdest way, I feel like I already know you guys. Watching this whole experience from the beginning until now has been so fun (strange too since this is over the internet aaaaand I dont really know you haha) The pictures above are adorable and the very last one is a perfect shot! Congratulations again 🙂

    Kath- these are all so good 🙂 The one where Matt is bending down to kiss the side of Maze’s cheek/face is AWESOME. You can totally see the baby responding to his Dad!! So lovely and just amazing! When you actually stop to think about the entire process of trying to get pregnant, to growing a baby inside of you and then birthing baby, getting to know him, and realizing baby already knows you guys (!!!)…its simply amazing, isnt it? Crazy. Just crazy.

    Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments with all of us. If I didn’t have 4 kids already, these pics make me want more…and really still kinda do 🙂

    Cheers!

    I love the name! I love how it breaks down ethnic/ cultural differences. Perhaps a sign that things between the middle east and the U.S. are getting better? I told my friend Mazen about you naming your son this name and he thought it was really cool and it actually made him feel really good because he faces a lot of stereotypes in our town ( small college beach town) ( he is Muslim from I believe Libya). Such a great honor to the middle east. Praise Allah!

    Don’t know if you follow Molly Wisenberg’s Orangette blog, but she was pregnant with nearly the same date as you (9/4 for her) and had her baby this morning: “Our daughter June was born at 6:29 this morning. Nine pounds. 20.5 inches. And a full head of wavy, almost-black hair! ” Is there something in the blogesphere? 🙂 My great-neice is pg with #3, due 9/30 (girl) – they’re everywhere.

    Mazen is such a doll! I thought he looked like Karen in his birth photos, now, more like himself. Enjoy!
