14 Weeks

Last Tuesday I went for my pregnancy follow up. The most important thing to me was to hear my baby’s heart beat. At the beginning the nurse couldn’t find it then I started to panic. Then the doctor came to me at looked at my face asking me what’s wrong. I was scared and finally there was the beat. At the moment I start to smile and cry at the same time :S (confusing I know). Today I am 14 weeks and 3 days.
On 12th march is our anniversary but unfortunately its my husband cousin wedding and we have to attend it. We will make up it the next day. However, I will be dressed and he will be too. We can imagine it’s our party :D. This is how I try to enjoy that wedding.

I don’t know what to buy for my husband. Everything seems not good enough! I hope I figure this out early.

Family gathering!

It’s Sunday and we are back to work today after a nice weird weekend! I enjoyed it. At least it’s not boring and I had lots of things to do. Busy weekend! We are re-decorating my mom’s living room. I chose the main sofa set, coffee table and the design! I loved doing that. The last two weekends I was going around furniture stores, taking pictures and discuss them with my dad and sister. We are almost done. The curtain is left and some small touches like the wall art work, and some clock (which is a must for my dad).
On Friday there was family gathering in my dad’s house and in my mother in law house, so I had to go to my in laws first and at the evening I went to my parents’ house. It was nice and we enjoyed it a lot!
Saturday was an easy day, I loved it. We went for a walk with my mother and sisters. We had a snack there and my mother was walking after her knee replacement operation. She loved it. It was the first time she leave house after the operation. Allah ya7fa’6ha my mom. Then I went back home my little home, getting ready for today and a new week of hard work.

Marital status change

I did not update for more that a year! WoW to be honest I gave up on blogging but as usual I came back and start writing! What has change during the last year:

• I am a wife now! Yes I get married on March 2009. Now you all know where I have been.
• Still working at my previous job. Thanks god. My family is tired of me changing jobs. However after more than 2 years in this job I want to move on and change my job for many different reasons.
• I am pregnant!! I can’t believe that I just wrote that. Still three months next week and hopefully everything goes well with the baby and me.
• I live with my husband alone in apartment. Therefore, I am a working housewife :D. its double responsibilities. And let’s all not forget the little one on the way!
• I lost weight last year with all the new life, new responsibilities. I hope I can keep this weight while I am pregnant or keep losing the fat without harming the baby.

I wanted to write my blog because I need to describe my ideas, thoughts, and fears of this new life that I am going through with all its ups and downs.
You will hear from me soon.

With all my luv

Summer

I just arrived home after 1 week in KSA. Details will be in my next post.
miss you all

:: The Happiest Woman in The World ::

. Hi everyone, sorry for not updating for this long! I know i don't have any good excuse except that i got really busy with work, personal, social life!! I guess you will understand me cuz everyone is complaining about no enough time to do all what we have to do. And to be frank I did not know what to write. I wanted to write something good other than the daily stuff I usually wrote.

During the past time I found myself time to read a great book " أسعد إمرأة في العالم" by a great writer "Aa'edh Al Qarni" " عائض القرني". His way of presenting the ideas makes it very close to the heart not like other who give us harsh instructions and you have to follow. He tries to persuade you in very nice polite way. I love his lectures and TV shows. This is the second book that I read for him beside the great famous book "لا تحزن".

I believe these 2 books should in anyone bookshelf for the blue days. When you feel sad and depressed with every things just pick it up and start reading and I assure you will feel much better. It helps a lot to understand and relieve any pain you feel or difficulties you face in your life and lets be honest here who is not been in such situation. This is life and the better way to live is to tone with life and harmonize with it ups and downs

I picked the following from "أسعد إمرأة في العالم" for you:

ومضة: أليس الصبح بقريب

أنت الرابحة على كل حال

قل للذي بصروف الدهر عيرنا هل عاند الدهر إلا من له خطر؟!عليك بالاحتساب فإن وقع عليك هم أو غم أو حزن فاعلمي أنه كفارة للذنوب، و إن فقدت أحد أبنائك فاعلمي أنه شافعٌ عند الواحد الأحد ، و إن أصابتك عاهةٌ أو مرضٌ في الجسم فاعلمي أنه بأجره عند الله ، و أنه محفوظ لك عند الواحد الأحد ، الجوع بأجره، و المرض بثوابه، و الفقر بجزائه عند الله عز وجل ، فلن يضيع عند الواحد الأحد شي ، والله عز و جل يحفظ هذا ، كما يحفظ الوديعة بصاحبها ، حتى يؤديها في الآخرة.

P.S.: A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.

Communication

I attended a great course about leadership communication and I am crazy about this type of subjects. I get so excited about it that when I came back home I can't stop talking about it and told everyone around me about what all the new things that I learn. Analyzing people actions and behavior is a main part of my personality. When you see me looking at you saying nothing be sure that I am trying to understand you and the reasons of what you are saying.

I believe that I should took psychology as my major however, I am so practical on the other side of my personality and I know if I took it as a searious subject I will hate it :S … wanna get an idea:

Extrovert: someone who probably has a messy desk; who leaves projects 75% completed then gets distracted by new, 'more exciting' projects; someone who communicates their ideas with enthusiasm and charm; makes instant decisions; hates 'paperwork' and the 'dull routines' of life, such as filling in order forms, checking bank statements, etc.; is usually 'fashionably late' to meetings, events and parties (and they love entertaining clients!); always has interesting screen savers.

Amiable: someone who is the 'peacemaker' in the office; is always striving for a 'win-win' in everything in life; someone who probably isn't terribly ambitious and striving, but is very happy to support and encourage others who are; someone who cannot say "No" very easily and so are probably on every committee going (whether they actually want to be or not); is more likely to make a decision on the spot if only to stop you 'hassling' them, otherwise will take weeks to make a decision (if at all, as they prefer others to make the decision for them); like to know what others are doing (in case they themselves are doing something inappropriate or foolish).

Analytical: 'GadgetMan' - has multiple PDAs in case one fails; has several computers for the same reason; adores punctuality; when they tell you they recently bought something they won't round the number up but will tell you to the exact dollar and cent how much they paid; loves playing with spreadsheets, charts and projections; will never make a decision on the spot; will buy a car based on fuel economy, servicing costs, resell value, depreciation and other factors, never 'because it's a lovely shade of blue'.

Pragmatic: a 'take charge' person; their view is the way things will probably get done; they listen to others' points of view out of courtesy or intellectual curiousity, but will still do things 'my way' ; doesn't take business rejection personally; not interested in how 'exciting' a project might be, only interested in how much money it will cost/make and how soon it can be implemented/built; very often the Pragmatic likes the colour ' Red '; doesn't have any photos of family or friends on their desk (too unprofessional); has a neat, organised desk.

Home Sweet Home

I arrived home last night around 1 am and today I had to go to work and in the first seconds i remembered that i have 2 days course :S. I knew my boss will get pissed off me. Its almost the end of the month and U can imagine how tasks must be done before end of each month for HR department. therefore, i recived a phone call from my manager requesting me to come back to the office to finish urgents tasks and continue the course tomorrow.

enough talking about work. Lets talk about my trip to KSA. :D i enjoyed it alot being with my sisters, brothers, nephews, nieces, and of course my sweet <3>

I took zillions of pictures and my nieces took my camera and mobile taking pix of almost everything. so i have a huge amount of pix that i had to upload them into my pc.
