Baby update

Not to mush to update, the baby bump is not a pooch. In arabic well call it kerish, which means fat gut. I am at the stage where you can't tell I am pregnant, all you can tell is I am not slim.

Weaning update: Yes I admit there is after all this time an update to be made. I have been feeding him at night before he goes to sleep. I couldn't help it. But for over 40 hours now he has been breast free. I almost cried yesterday, he talked and fell asleep. Is this how all the cutting of the apron strings goes, I am in the back nostalgic and sad, while he is clueless and just about the same. I little boy is getting bigger. He is drinking and eating well, yogurt and milk powder are sprinkled throughout his daily diet. I have found the boy loves Lebanese food, the difficult kind that takes hours to make. So what is a mother to do? Me in my tack have let the neighbors know if they cook certain food to save a small bowl for the boy, or if I know they made it that day, I ask for just a little bit. Rude? Thankfully not in this culture, especially if it is for Zakaria.

I think babies really do grow up too quickly!

You are too funny! I love that you ask your neighbors for food. Too cute! And so excited that Zaky will have a baby bro! Not sure if you check Facebook, but wanted to let you know that I think about you at least daily, cuz John's new favorite Bible Story is Zaccheus, and he calls him Zaky!!
