When did you hear the good news?

Well anytime soon Insha Allah I am looking forward to hearing the sweet words that will bring joy to my life.

I am desperately nervous and i’m sure you guys have been through it all and will be able to comfort me for once… I am not the type that often needs comforting… thick skinned or thick generally… but lately I’ve been fretting like a Woman. :hehe:

I keep telling myself “Faris get a grip of yourself… :kursi:” and friends often over the last couple of days have been echoing those words…

But I can never remember anything like it… I have been on battlefields. In stadiums. Rallies…Political and sporting :cb:… but nothing is like waiting for a Childbirth in my opinion.

I mean in war you get your moment to say your last prayer and then see your relatives before deployment…

On other adventures you can prepare for it… but this is one adventure only Upper Wallaa can control… it is beyond mere mortals.

I just want you guys to share what it was like for you if you dont mind?

Where were you when it happened and beforehand what had you been doing… I am the first of my Male relatives to be able to get time off to see it… My brothers were still in the Army or abroad when thier wives gave birth so I think I am extremely lucky… at least to be able to give Azaan to my own child.

Right now I pray fervently for a boy and my heart tells me so… the doctors think it highly likely too though they say it could be a surpirse becuase the childs had several changes in the womb:eek: I didn;t know those things could even happen! I thought a baby was boy or girl not a variable :omg:

Oh I’m so strange right now feeling totally crazy… My head feels very light… heavens knows what my poor Wife must be feeling.

So guys how did this go for you?

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Praying for a healthy baby and safe delivery for the mrs.

I didnt get the part bout baby changing gender in the womb. WHAT?! :eek:

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Yeah I know apparently according to the doctors you cannot be sure up till a point becuase a baby will change sex several times while in the Womb… maybe they were pulling my leg :cb: but they seemed serious…

Re: When did you hear the good news?

oh they were sooo pulling your leg!

Re: When did you hear the good news?

I suspected as much :bummer:

Thanks anyway though… I seem such an idiot. :smack:

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Spend time with your wife and assure her that Insallah everything will go fine because even though she may be getting excited she might be very nervous not knowing what's going to happen in near future.. Assure her you'll be with her and Insallah all will go well for you guys.

Re: When did you hear the good news?

oh man. I am in the same boat except I am the one who'll give birth. Waiting period. My husband is panicking too. He was so worried today at my appt that my doctor jokingly said.. looks like you are the one delivering the child.. tee hee. Men do get nervous and I think its completely normal. My husband worries what if I can't get to the hospital on time.

And that chaning sex part.. your doctor must be joking.
Good luck with everything. Just keep praying for your wife and your baby's well being.

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Good luck. iA you'll have a healthy baby what ever the gender. I'm sure it is a very exciting time for you and your family. iA everything will go to plan :)

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Oh man becoming a first time parent. :)

Arrival of every baby is special in it's own way but that first baby feeling is something out of this world. Hope all goes well iA.

Re: When did you hear the good news?

congrats and at the same time be prepared for upcoming sleepless nights, with this happiest moment of the life comes a lot of responsibility and a complete change of lifestyle :).....I remember me and my hubby pushing at each other for the late night diaper changes of the baby.....we were sleep lovers until our baby arrived and it was soooooooo hard to wake up every couple hours during the night :D.....ask you wife to take good rest as things will soon change....not scaring you but just giving you a practical advice :) If you live with your parents/family, they would be a great help.....good luck :)

Re: When did you hear the good news?

Congratulation in advance man. Get ready for bundle of joy in your life and that bundle comes with a responsibility. Get ready for it and yeah, get ready to love your wife even more.

Although it was 9 years ago, but I still remember the day and how it unfolded.
