I Have Kids
Sunday, August 16, 2009 at 12:23PM
So, as some of you may have heard, we had a baby boy this past Wednesday, August 12th! And by “we” I mean "I". I had a baby boy while my husband did the best he could to participate.
Really, though, I feel he was the model husband and father throughout the entire process, being both present and encouraging while looking tremendously guilty all the while. If it wasn’t confirmed before, it is now... my husband is perfect.
Thank you so much for your comments on the blog and Facebook, I am really overwhelmed by all the love.
In unrelated news, never give your password to Adam Avitable. He may look like a grown up on the outside, but he is, in fact, a twelve ten eight seven year old on the inside. A very disturbed seven year old that should be going to the school for “bad” kids, but can’t because even they don’t want him.
And, hello, I am not a Democrat. I’m a fiscally conservative socially conscious liberal with strong suspicions of government involvement in our personal lives and those of other nations. So, given Tariq’s unabashed love for free market capitalism, I think we may have a libertarian on our hands.
Either way, I am officially a mother of two. I have kids. I can say things like, "I have to go pick up the kids." Or, "Be quiet, the kids are sleeping."
Or, "Aren't my kids beautiful?"

They're okay.
If you are into that whole beautiful kid thing. ;)
Congratulations and good luck! The thought of more than one child makes me want to take a nap. I don't have experience with raising a girl, but boys are the bomb. And your kids ARE gorgeous.
Well, they're okay. Compared to their mom, that is.
You have wonderfully beautiful kids. Congrats again, honey.
You so deserved the worst for giving Avitable your password! (;
Congratulations, for adding another beautiful child to your family, and for both of your beautiful kids!
What a gorgeous family! I always treasured those first few days of new baby loving. I would gather my other children and we would all cuddle in bed watching TV and bonding!
Congratulations again!
Awww
Congratulations. You have beautiful KIDS and you will so enjoy your baby boy. Many blessings!!!
They are both gorgeous. Congratulations again.
And, um, hello blog dedication! LOL
Look at that sweet picture! He's smiling. And it's not gas. Seriously.
And isn't plurality with kids cool? :)
And Adam may be seven, but he's a lovable seven. That you want to smack.
Your kids look great. I mean, they hardly look like Adam at all!
They are both mashallah sey adorable. Congrats to you and your family. I can't wait to see the little one may be after he has first shots. Congrats again. N. definitely looks like a proud older sister
How could they be anything but beautiful? Congratulations, honey. You did good.

LOVE that picture!!!!!!
You are the best, and you have a fantastic family!!!
Frame that pic.

Congratulations! They are beautiful indeed.
Congratulations, Faiqa. They are both beautiful.
On a very related note, do you feel like a family now, as Tariq said so long ago?
Congratulations! And yes, your kids are amazingly beautiful (as you and Tariq are too).
Wait.
You mean you were pregnant?
Why did anyone tell me!!!
Welcome to the "kids" club!
Hey, wait, "I’m a fiscally conservative socially conscious liberal with strong suspicions of government involvement in our personal lives and those of other nations." We need a party.
Congratulations!
Yes, they ARE beautiful.
Why aren't we Facebook friends? Is it because I think Adam is funny?
that is an outstanding picture!
big congrats to u guys!
Awwwwww..... look at those two! BFF's already! Until they turn preteen of course and discover sibling rivalry. They will get over that eventually, by 18 years old. Then again, BFF's for life!
(woot)
@Tami, Thank you, I can't wait for you to see them!
@Kimberly, It *was* funny. But he's still seven.
@Poppy, Thank you, I hope you can meet them when you come down here in October.
@Dave2, I think so, obviously. :)
@Miss Britt, :)
@Princess of the Universe, Thank you. Twice. :D
@B.E. Earl, Hehehe. I am into the beautiful kid thing so that works.
@MidLifeMama, I can't wait to find out how cool raising a biy is going to be! I'm sure it *is* the bomb, and thanks!
@Avitable, Awww. I feel like hitting you and hugging you at the same time. As usual.
@Sarah, Thank you!
@Elizabeth Kaylene, I really shouldn't complain, he did a great job with the post... even if he said the word "penis", like 50 times. :)
@Blondefabulous, Yeah, we've watched more TV in the past four days than we have all year. It's been great. My daughter is totally into "How Clean Is Your House" and "What Not to Wear." On her way... :)
@Jared, :) Can't wait for you to meet him in person!
@Cara Pope, Thanks, you're the boy expert so I'll take your word for it.
@Sheila (Charm School Reject), Is that sarcasm? I haven't posted in, like, two weeks. So, I assume it's sarcasm. Sheila being sarcastic. Big, Surprise. Oh, and happy birthday!!
@Coal Miner's Granddaughter, He's lovable because he's smackable. And he loves being smackable. And being smacked.
@RebTurtle, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little at your insinuation. What I can't figure out is if I'm sickened by the fact that you've insinuated that my kids are Adam's or that he has kids, at all.
@Ayesha, I'd love for you to come over and see him, just let me know whenever!
@Finn, Aww, thanks.
@adnan., I know, right?
