**Thank you friends for your wishes and prayers via text message, PMs, face book, Phone calls, and here :)
Special thanks to Niksik for opening the thread and special prayer.
I will inshallah reply to each message later, but here's some information:
As **Niksik **said, **Maha Sohail was born on August 18 at 10:30 p.m. CST. Both mom and daughter are doing great. The name Maha was chosen by me and I refused to listen to any other suggestions after I once heard the name Maha and I knew this would be the name if I have a daughter (we chose not to find out the gender). Different websites may list different meaning, but the one I read was "beautiful eyes" and she certainly does have very beautiful eyes and long eye lashes.
Maha was 6 lbs. and 1.5 oz. Her length at birth was 18.5 inches. She's mashallah a very healthy baby and perfect in every way (of course, after all, she's MY daughter).
I will share the pictures later. Right now I am sleep deprived and came home to take a shower and change as we've been up for more than 24 hours.
Thank you again for your well wishes. Those asking for mithaayi, please PM me your address :)
