Yasir Hashim Lafond

On Monday, June 19th my pelvis hurt so bad I felt as if I couldn't walk, sit, or even stand. I called my doctor and she suggested I get checked out just to make sure I wasn't in labor.

They hooked me up to the machines and monitored me for about an hour. No contractions and Baby Boy was doing find. My cervix was still closed and there were no signs of labor. So we all went home.

On Tuesday, I cleaned the house since my Mother in Law was coming the next day (and because I was nesting). I was still in pain but I had to get the house ready for her arrival.

Before Hashim came home from work I asked him to stop by the store and get me some Celeste pizzas and chips. While he was out I started have the strongest contractions. I started timing them and they were consistently 3-5 minutes apart!

Once Hashim came home I told him that we would be going to the hospital tonight. He was not happy... Especially since we were just there yesterday. He also wasn't happy because he just went to the store for me and he hadn't eaten yet.

So we both ate and I tried to move around and do things to stop my contractions but nothing! By ‪11pm‬ I got up and got the girls dressed in pajamas. I grabbed my hospital bag and we were on our way to the hospital. He actually wore his DAD shirt.

Hashim was in SHOCK!

My cousin arrived and immediately after they took me into the operating room. By ‪2:59am‬ my baby boy Yasir Hashim Lafond was born! 6lbs 14oz 19 inches of PERFECTION!

I was supposed to have a scheduled c-section but he just couldn't wait! He came exactly a week before the scheduled date. He was also two weeks earlier than my estimated due date.

His sisters love him and always want to be near him. They check on him and want to make him feel better when he cries. I love being a mom to three of the greatest children in the world!

My Mother in law came to California for the first time and she has been with us for two weeks. She came right on time. We thought we would get a week to hang out with her and show her around, but apparently Yasir had other plans. She has helped me with all the children, cooking and cleaning.

I have been able to sleep and get a lot of rest so that I can heal. I am feeling well and completely enjoying my 3 under 3 under 30.
