Time to reclaim and update

I am back yes so it feels that way its been way too long. I have not been feeling very energetic of late . I have some baby news .YES I am pregnant after 6 1/2 years of trying we have been blessed. I am 18 weeks at present, it has been hard with all the vomiting and smells. Yesterday I received the news I have Gestational Diabetes (GD) in Pregnancy. At first I was concerned as i am generally a healthy person and now its just not my health its baby too. I have been invited to the Specialist GD clinic for tomorrow for an education , so I will have more news on that after tomorrow. A sister who also blog's had a simillar expierence and she wrote about it here . she experienced GD twice and managed to battle the odds mashaAllah. More updates as and when they happen inshaAllah ( God willing).

I am Back

It's actually been a few months , perhaps the longest blogger absence for me , I have a good reason and I bring good news.
Update will have to be in pictures



A lovely Thai meal that was cooked for me by an equally lovely sister in Islam and dear friend.
Ramandan came and went.............sadly I didn't gain what I had set out to and hoped. Some cakes shared in Ramandan Algerian of course.



My Eid cakes for friends and neighbours to share


Evening Eid meal as requested by the family ....was very nice i must add. Buryani with baby lamb, chicken tikka , salad and Natural yoghurt.

Flowers on a rainy day in September in my garden.
