All right, lets see some good ones.

Greetings from Alpine. Im on vacation. Do dah do dah.

Oh, well yeah, you have to work on a little girl in order to give some of the other little boys in MENA a hopeful match... and also so you can regain your 100 camels.

It sounds serious. He may have to go see a specialist in cases of cuteness. I just happen to be one... I'll see him for free, no office charge.

Let's make an appointment to come in to your office I attempted a cute-ectomy this morning, but it all grew back by suppertime.

Morning everyone!!! On my way to work on two hours of sleep, insomia and storm kept me awake. OMG Yassmine is Butterball ever adorable. Wow is he gonna have women chasing him when he is older.

And Ill be right behind them with a baseball bat. Any lil girl who breaks my baby boys heart, ooooh Ill be all over her like white on rice.

Jack, this storm is scaring me, especially since the puppy is getting his manhood cut off in the middle of it.....the poor dog hates thunder, i dont know how he is gonna survive tonite...i cried leaving him there, i had no idea he had to stay 24 hours..ahhh i dont like this one bit

I can totally identify. I used to have a lovely little dog who was terrified of storms. I made him a tent from a couple of boxes and bathtowels next to my bedside table. It worked quite well at deflecting thunder. And I remember the first time I had to leave him overnight at the vet. Argh I was a total wreck the whole next day at work.

oh mah gawsh gabi..he is soooooooooooooooooooooo cute .. he has daddies mouth and I believe mommies eyes!!! I am gonna come see u again soon..hopefully in the next few weeks but I'm not too sure yet. i'll come vegggg out at ur pad and chat! deal? him and the pineapple princess would make beautiful pineapple butterballs!!!

He's always up for cuddles. He's starting to give out those hearty belly laughs now too.

Hmmm. With 100 camels Sarah could really save on gas money. Sounds like a good trade.

Babies have the cutest clothes. I love the baby boy clothes with dinosaurs and elephants, etc. I also love the little girls' sundresses, especially in a warm pink/orange/blue madras.

Oh my mother would have a fit over that. She's got all grandsons, no little girls. So she's being robbed of the opportunity to buy lots of frilly things. But Ahmed and I plan to have another butterball in a few years, so maybe mom will get her chance to buy pink.

It appears Mehdi is suffering from an 'acute' case of cuteness. I think he got it from Amirah. Its serious. It has metasisized from his fat cheeks to his chubby booty. I told him earlier he may have to have a 'cute-ectomy' to have some of it removed and given to a less fortunate baby. He laughed his little belly off.

The real question is does Mehdi like older women? Because Amirah and Medhi make a cute playdate!

Oh yes. He flirts with all the little old ladies at the grocery store. Sara and I are already working on the betrothal. I think Im supposed to pay a hundred camels or something for Amirah.

they'll be like pebbles and bam bam, she is so little and he is.... well, he's huge.

You should try toting him around. He's already in 6 month size clothes! What a tub!

aaaww look at mehdi. I cant beleive he is 3 months old!!!

Me neither. Now that some of the wrinkles are getting ironed out, you can really see who he favors. You be the judge:

Daddy

Mommy

Baby

jenn....lmao...

where is Om Mehdi???? aka Gabi...i miss seeing her siggy of the lil man!

I am here m'dear. Had my hands full w/da bebe. I hardly get through all my email these days, so I havent been here much. But I have not forgotten you

An excellent idea. Ill have a key lime with sara and a whole chess pie for dessert.

Gabi, You poor girl....I cant imagine how u feel....I just had the typical few days of postpartum depression and I WAS A WRECK....i was crying allll day for no reasons....it made me sick....what did help was getting out....shopping, grandmas, shopping, walking, shopping...lol...even tho i have no money to shop, walking the mall just helped me clear my head....I hope those meds keep u sane, and it will all clear up soon girl....Mehdi is soo darn precious, You are a lucky mommy...

My lil guy is sooo restless today, Its the most he has cried ever...i was reading that he may be going thru a growth spurt...which could explain his demand for 4oz every 2 hours....I feel soo helpless sometimes...He did lay down about 20 mins ago after being up for 3-4 hours, hopefully he will sleep an hour or two....

I started my job hunting today...I managed to get a new resume built, and Ive started the online search....These crazy hours at TCF have to go....I need me a 9-5 M-F kinda job....but Im looking for at least a 5k salary increase, im hoping it wont be too hard, and only reason is cuz i can get promoted at TCF the day I go back, and that would be an 8k increase...what to do? what to do?

LOL shopping is always therapeutic. Mehdi was always restless and fussy during a growth spurt, so that may be the case with your little one too. Although Im beginning to wonder if Mehdi was just having growth spurts all the time because he always seemed to be fussy and hungry and he's already topping 17 pounds. He's just now getting where he will nurse for about 30 minutes at a time. In the beginning, he would nurse for 1 1/2 to 2 hours at a time. I thought I was never going to be able to put him down. He's much more predictable now.

eveline....thats why Im sooo thankful I got preggo when i did, Im naturally a sweaty hot person, i wouldnt have EVER made it pregnant thru the summer...

Yayyyy jess....almost time!!

Amen to that. I got pregnant in June last year and I was just starting to get a good bump to haul around when the good ol Texas summer heat was really bearing down. One lovely day during the heat wave, one of the construction workers in our office building had an accident that caused a major evacuation. We all got tossed out of the building for 2 hours in the middle of the day. Lemme tell ya preggasaurus rex here had a tree staked out all to herself LOL.

OHMYGOODNESS, Yassmine.......Butterball just put a huge smile on my face! Kiss him for me !!

Everyday. I give him lots of sugars from his MENA tatas. There's a magnetic attraction in his lil fat rolls that makes it impossible to resist planting kisses on them. He just looks at me like "Mooooo-ooom, WTH are you doing?"

Awww! The rolls!! Precious!

I haven't seen you in a while, Yassmine, I hope things are good.

TY I lurk from time to time, just hadnt felt like posting.

Yassmine- that baby is too cute, if being precious was a crime we would have to lock that little cutie up. Give him some kisses, he is soooooooooooooooooooo adorable, I am a good baby sitter ya all. I will do it for free even.

Sold! I need a free sitter desperately, LOL.

Gabi, I was just about to PM you, I thought u disappeared....

p.s. Mehdi is darling!!!! I have a feeling Zaid is gonna be a lil chunk butt just like him....Zaid is already eating 4oz bottles and he's only 2 weeks old!!!

Yeah Ive been a little too reclusive. Baby blues been hitting kinda hard, but I started new meds today, so maybe things will get better.

So who makes a total goober out of themself for baby's benefit? What do you do to dry tears and elicit giggles? Myself, I change the lyrics to popular songs for Mehdi's benefit. He especially likes the song "Dontcha wish your girlfriend..." suited to him ~ Dontcha wish your baby was cute like me...~

Let's have some choccie milk with those donuts. Yum

I am very very fond of that new pic Gabi

Its one of a dozen. You know how it goes, take a zillion pics just to get that perfect one with a giggle. For someone reason telling my son in a high-pitched voice that he is "Tasty and deeeeelicious" makes him giggle uncontrollably. He also enjoys me singing that Pussycat Dolls song "Dontcha wish your girlfriend..." with altered lyrics.

~Dontcha wish your baby was fat like me. Dontcha wish your baby was Moroccan like me~ Its always a hit.

On the next epsiode of Man Vs. Wild : Escape from the Chocolate Crocodile

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Jon. We hope God brings you solace and comfort.

Ahmed and Gabi

nagi....thanks, he does look like sofyan alot, but...believe it or not, hes changing into quite the lil minime....my mom took out some newborn shots of me, and alas, he really favors me...i never thought i would be able to say that...his face structure is all me...his big blue eyes, and his hair is falling out and turning brown....my handsome lil man....

Ive noticed that with all 3 of the latest MENA boys. Zaid, Ayman (Carrie and Simo's little bundle), and Mehdi are really turning out like their mamas. The older Mehdi gets, the more of me I can see in him, especially when I look at my baby pictures from that age. Check it out, this pic was taken when I was almost 3 months old:

Compare with the lil brown minime in my siggy LOL.

Zaid had his first doc appointment today!! Doc was only a little concernced cuz my blood type is O and the baby was A so he was afraid he nmay get jaundice, but, alas, he is perfectly healthy...he lost 1oz since birth, so that sets him back to 8lbs 13oz lol....little booger did so good, we even managed to walk around and grocery shop at jewel, baby slept thru it all....He is truly a blessing, I cant stop staring at him, kissing him, etc ...

I spent last night up from 11pm til 5am, he is COMPLETELY backwards on sleep, down all day and up all night, and i CANNOT sleep during the day, so things have been tough, but, were working on it

tomorrow my 8000 relatives are coming over, we plan to bbq and have ourselves a nice little day....im excited, hopefully i do manage to catch at least 3-4 hours of sleep tonight, ill really be draggin ####### if i dont....

daddys passed out on the couch, hes adjusting soo well to fatherhod im so proud of him, maybe ill go join him for a bit....life couldnt be better

Everyone told me to sleep when the baby sleeps, but I just couldnt do it. For the first 2 weeks I had to sleep on the couch with his bassinet next to me because I couldnt lay on my side in the bed to nurse. I would fall asleep sitting up nursing LOL. Zaid'll get his days and nights straightened out soon and you'll feel more human

Watch out, once you start kissin on 'im, its hard to stop.

An update from MENA: KS71905 did have her little boy, Zaid, early this morning, around 4 I think. Details unknown, but he did arrive. Guess the stripping worked

:dance: :dance:

what's the weight? if not over 8 pounds you have to throw him back in and let him grow

Ill second that! Mehdi was 9 even, Ayman was 9 and 5 oz, so Zaid has his work cut out for him!

Mabrook on Baby Zaid!

I agree, Amal. Things are just not the same without the paddler. I think it starts around 8pm? Someone correct me if Im wrong.

Squirt might be with me for a little while then, if he's in good humor. He usually hits the hay about 830 or so.

Yassmine, will you be coming to the slumber party tomorrow?

Depends on what time baby pineapple goes down for his evening nap, but probably. What time?

When do we reach the point of diminishing returns?

Popping in to say hi. Havent had much to say in the last few days.
