My second Eid with my happy pills! The first Eid with them in 2019 I was still in confinement so we didn't go out visiting. The second Eid with them this year, it was Cov-Eid so we didn't go out visiting too. 😂 Regardless, my heart is full knowing we're together to embrace Eid no matter the circumstances. I pray that all of us get many more uncountable years of opportunities to spend Eid with our families and loved ones. Eid Mubarak everyone!

My first Mother's Day! Last year's Mother's Day I was just outta the hospital from birthing Sarah so that's not counted! I think I deserve a pat on the back for surviving the past 369 days waking up at 3am or 4am every single night to feed Sarah milk. 😅 Wished so many times I could check into a hotel room and leave motherly duties at home while I sleep. Wished many times too I could pamper myself with a massage and facial. I look and feel so ungroomed this circuit breaker period when I had to do full-on mothering (can't escape to work and dress up. Hahah). Regardless when I see Sarah sleep at the end of the day, I forget all those wishes and found myself fulfilled and grateful for being her mom! Happy Mother's Day to myself, my beloved mom and MIL, and my fellow mummy friends. We've got this moms! 💪🏻

Since Sarah's birthday falls on Ramadan this year, we thought to share the joy of her special day with others. We prepped 7 bags of home made food for the breaking of fast cooked by my mother-in-law and had it delivered to my parents and also the husband's aunts and uncle. In the evening, we had a small celebration with Sarah over iftar. Super thankful to the bff for sending us the cake too! We took a few shots to remember the day with! A simple birthday celebration but one that isn't short of meaning and joy for us. So there it is. The first ever birthday for Sarah and we pray, many more years to come for her too! Thank you to everyone who dropped Sarah a birthday greeting and for your gifts to her as well! We truly do appreciate every single one of your generosity. ❤❤❤

A day old Sarah vs a year old Sarah. And with that, 1 year flew by just like that. My little Sarah turns exactly a year old today on the 8th of May! Back when I was expecting her, I could not imagine how my life would be with her in it. But when Sarah finally came, I could not imagine my life without her in it! It still amazes me everyday how one tiny human being can take up such a huge space in our hearts. Feeling so overwhelmingly grateful that Allah allowed us the blessing of Sarah's presence in our lives. I pray for Him to always bless her with abundant goodness, to shine as an individual and in all that she does, and possess a heart that seeks and achieves closeness to Him. Amin! Happy birthday Sarah love!

The heart's feeling so full right now. Made plans to host a baby shower for the bff despite it being my birthday. But I thought "I truly just wanna give and make someone's day no matter what" never expecting that at the end of it, I would be the one feeling so happy! Today's a day to remember not just cos it is one where I turn 36. But rather, it is remembered for the good news shared by these dear ladies. It is also one where I realized that seeing my close ones experience happy milestones would also bring lotsa happiness to me. Last but not least. It is also a day in which I see my little family - the husband and Sarah - earnestly choosing to spend the day with me. From the time I found something hard lodged in my pillow before I went to sleep yesterday night, to discovering that the husband hid his birthday gift for me inside my pillow (!!) and a simple birthday sliced cake right before midnight. 😍 My heart is full, alhamdulillah!

Sarah turns exactly 8 months today. Time flies! Now I understand what the other parents meant when they say kids grow up very fast. . She is at a stage where she is curious about everything. Grabbing her hands on anything she finds unique and hasn't seen before: tissue paper, plastic bottle, the tupperware cover, remote control, her nappy cream, etc. I save loads of money through not buying toys in this way 😁. I just give her something in the house and she loves playing with it. . She has started saying "mum mum" and "memmm" whenever she wants to eat. I believe those are her first words that she associate to an action. All that aside, I have officially declared to the husband that it looks like we would see Sarah calling "mama" first as the sounds "mum mum" and "memmm" is just a stone's throw away from "mama"!
