And presenting....

....just kidding! :-) We figured since we've been on this crazy ride the last two weeks, our avid readers should share in some of the fun. Abbas and I came home last night at about 10pm with +1 still in his/her warm confines of my belly. The urine and blood tests were all normal and my BP was crazy normal....like not just normal for me but normal for regular people (best was 117/77). So they let us come home and we have a follow-up with Dr. Chan (my substitute doc while Dr. Pittini is away) on Tuesday.
I must admit, now I find the hospital quite relaxing, which probably explains the low BP, but if we are admitted on Tuesday again, I will not come home until this baby is out of me!
Yesterday was our 36 week mark and at this point, the doctors are all confident the baby will be fine and will be able to breath on his/her own, so anytime now is the right time.
The reason that they do not want to wait much longer is because while my BP is manageable, things could still take turn for the worse and I could become pre-eclamptic.

Stay tuned.

Phew. The longer it went, the more I was convinced the delay was due to +1's arrival. ;)

Fast forward...

Ok, so I feel like I'm cheating a little bit here by posting six months worth of pictures at once, but this is the only way I have a remote chance of catching up. As you can see from the pictures, the Rizvi family definitely had a busy few months.. between birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, and family outings, we kept a full social calendar. Also, as you can tell from the picture above, Samarah and Syra are really starting to play well together. Ok, maybe 'well' isn't the right word, but they do have their moments. Syra definitely has a more forceful personality, which effectively neutralizes the size advantage Samarah has. I'm sure the fighting will only escalate as they get older. Stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures from Jan-June, 2011!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

It's been a busy couple of months in the Rizvi household. Don't believe me? Well, here are a few highlights from August and the first week of September: Plenty of post-move issues (dealing with the builder, trying to get a Rogers tech to actually show up on time, unpacking the remaining boxes, etc.). All in all, fairly typical for moving into a new home, but having both girls home full-time added a bit of extra challenge. Two weekends with out-of-town visitors . We had a ton of fun with our guests - especially with Baby Tess meeting Samarah and Syra (just check the pictures). Having to deal with our refrigerator breaking down after 6 weeks. Let me tell you, that is one appliance you cannot do without. It was an interesting week to say the least, but we did get to live like Europeans and buy fresh groceries every day. An out-of-town wedding (congrats Julia and Shane!) Kicking the afternoon nap.. and I know what some of you are thinking, but no, it wasn't me trying to for...
