Watching the baby

Baby Z and I went home on Sunday. I was excited for the kids. They had been waiting for this baby for quite some time. They were even skeptical over whether there was going to be a baby, after what happened with Julaybib. So the homecoming was pretty special, alhamdulillah a contrast from my homecoming with Julaybib, which was also around noon.

Hubby, my mother, S and H went to the organic store, so it was just N, me and Baby Z at home. I was exhausted, as I didn't have enough sleep the night before as Baby Z cried and only let me sleep for about one hour total.

N was sitting on our bed, looking at Baby Z. She seemed fascinated by him. As I drifted off to sleep, I told her,

"Just watch him, ok."

A few hours later, hubby came back.

"N, what're you doing? Let Ummi rest. Come," hubby whispered to her.

"But ummi said to look at the baby," she replied.

Apparently, she had spent the hours just sitting there and literally watching him sleep, never taking her eyes off him.

That was April 22. After a few weeks, everytime I wake up in the morning, it was her big eyes, long hair that hovers over me. She made it her routine to pop in my room first thing in the morning to look at Baby Z.

Safe to say, they are all in love with Baby Z.
