Ayra, my second grand-daughter
Top: Family Photo taken before Ayra's birth
Below: Ayra, born on 11 September 2012
My daughter Nurul Husna delivered her first child last Tuesday 11 September 2012 at 2.40 p.m.My thanks to Allah Almighty for her bundle of joy together with Abdul Jalil who was with her during labour and the delivery. Both mother and daughter are doing fine and we are fortunate to be able to see them both when they were taken back to their room in the Hospital at around 5.45 p.m. on that day.
Jalil and Nurul named her Ayra, and when Nurul's cousin asked Jalil what is her full name, he replied, " Ayra Abdul Jalil". It is short and easily remembered, he said. She weighs 3.12 kilogram at birth, and both mother and child were discharged from the Hospital on Wednesday evening, 12 September. All of us welcome the new addition to the Family and may Allah endow her with His Grace and Blessings, Amin!

Dear Hal,
Alhamdulillah! Congrats to the parents and grandparents. It's such a joy to welcome a new-born. More so when it's also the first-born for Nurul and Jalil. The doting grandparents will be the ones most excited. It can never be the same again. You'll suddenly feel there are so much to do for the little ones, your plans,your activities, your aspirations centred around them. The same process will be triggered off every time a new-born arrives despite having a first cucu already. Every best wishes for a wonderful future to grandpa a 2nd time around!
