Baby Boy Cards - First Batch for 2009

I always say that baby’s come in batches. When I had Little Lady there were three other little girls born amongst family friends in the same few weeks. True to my irrefutable and scientifically accurate theory there seems to be a boy batch at the moment. My brother’s in-laws-to-be (insh’Allah) have just announced their first grandson, my husbands friend has just had a son and another close family of girls (grandmother, all daughters and all granddaughters) are swooning over their first baby boy.

Sunday is usually the day we make time to visit, so I put together these cards in a rush before we went off to see two of the babies. I’m not entirely satisfied and will be making more baby and wedding card’s insh’Allah, but these are what had to suffice at short notice.




This is the gorgeous box of Indian sweets one of the doting grandmothers gave us. I Had to take a picture because it looked like a box of jewels to me (I got a surprise when I opened the box as I have never tried this brand before as it is only available “up North”) I’m sorry the picture is so rubbish, I was trying to keep everyone off my favourite gulabjamun (hiding behind the jalebi there).

  1. I can concur (never been able to use that word before!) about the baby boy boom. I know of two in the last couple of weeks in my circle.

    Just wanted to post a comment to say I enjoy reading you blog. May Allah bless you and your entire family with good health, safety and most of all happiness.
