This was an eventful month! We did ALOT this month!
1. Sara had her naming ceremony and her Sameer Chacha came to meet her. We missed seeing Zejfa Chachi this time but hopefully we will see her in a couple months.
2. Sara made a trip to see her Daddy at the SF Google office
3. Sara made a trip to see her Mommy’s office and meet all her friends
4. We went on our first vacation with lil Miss Sara. This was her first time on an airplane and her first international trip! Whoa! Yea we were brave! We took a trip to Switzerland and France. One of Sahir’s friend from high school was getting married so a bunch of friends decided to meet up and rent a chalet and just hang out.
We didn’t get to do a lot since Sara is still so little and everything had to be planned around her feeding schedule but it was nice to just get away from the daily routine.
Here are some of our travel essentials with a 3 month of infant –
– We traveled with our UPPAbaby Vista stroller and Carseat. Albeit expensive, this is a great sturdy stroller. We kept joking that it could probably run over some of the tiny cars in Europe π It worked really well on the cobblestone paths and the big storage underneath helped carry a lot of stuff.
– Sleep Sheep – Sara just knows its time to sleep when this thing turns on.
– Her Paci’s
– Blankets (swaddles and others) These are just needed for everything!
– Burpy Bibs
– Ergo Carrier to carry her around in when you don’t want to take the stroller
– Her bath supplies (soap, shampoo, oil for massages), her healthcare kit and the nose frida
– Infant Tylenol (we didn’t need to use it but we carried it along just in case) and Gripe water
At this time, she was too young for toys. We did carry a couple of rattles but we didn’t end up using them and of course her clothes, and diapers.
On the flight to Zurich, she slept most of the way and we had to wake her up to eat. On the flight back to SF, she was awake most of the time π We were jet lagged when we got back and pretty much slept at odd hours for the first few days but got back into the swing of things pretty soon.

People had told me that Β the first few months after you have a baby are crazy… I think it’s really hard to fathom what and how hard it is until you actually go through it.
I feel like there is a lot of emphasis on the pregnancy… very rightly so! You are growing a human being! but the first many few weeks are like a rude awakening after feeling like a diva for 9 months! Β New parents need to emphasize on the first few weeks. It is HARD! Β New Mama’s need a lot of support because we are stressed about everything! The baby is sleeping too much oh is everything ok? The baby is not sleeping enough oh is everything ok?? And being emotional and sleep deprived with a screaming baby doesn’t help either.
I don’t think the stress ever goes away and is part of being a parent (my mom still worries about me) you probably just get used to being stressed all the time! haha
I am just now starting to feel a little normal. I feel like have the feedings and sleep under some kind of control… There are still the crazy days but getting less as time goes on… until of course the next curve ball comes our way. Just when you think you may have figured out your baby they decide to change things up on you! But in the end it’s all worth it to see that one toothless smile. π

It’s been a while since I blogged, not sure what happened but I seemed to have lost my momentum there for some time… but it’s time to change that π
Sahir and I would like to announce the birth of our baby girl Sara Nadine Sait!
After a long 40 hours in labor, Sara was born on her due date – May 22nd, 2013.
Sara is 7 weeks old today! The past seven weeks seem like a blur with feedings, diapers and all the stuff that comes with newborns. We are still trying to find our rhythm. Everyone says things get better after 6 -8 weeks so heres hoping! π
Heres are some pics from the last few weeks Β –
Getting Labor going by walking up and down our street.
Sara is here!!
