I'M A DADDY!!!!!!:-) :-) :-)
salaam
Allah (swt) has blessed me with a baby boy on Sunday 26th November 2006!!!!
Its the greatest feeling in the world to be a dad!
Alhamdulillah, the baby is healthy and cute, like his dad of course:-)
My wife is also in good health and very happy and proud like me.
Make duaa that my son remains healthy and grows up to be a good person and make duaa that me and my wife are able to bring up our boy to the best of our ability.
The last few days have been crazy, hectic, stressful, exciting, scary, wonderful, nervy and unbelievable....
After witnessing what my wife had to go through during labour...you can only admire and respect women even more...and anyone says they're the weaker sex.... i dont know many guys who could tolerate the pregnancy and labour....
:-)
i read the azaan and iqamaah very shortly after my son was born... again a unique special feeling.
Next , its choosing the name... which me and my wife cant decide....
then its cutting his hair, the chop:-), haqeeqah....etc....
Some advice and tips from parents would be great.....and pls share your own experiences.
i think i have to now grow up:-) and probably have less time for revival...
but remember my little lad in your duaas pls.

MashaAllah and congrats :--)
May you both cherish all the happiness your son brings you, and may Allah keep him faithful, strong, and Allah-devoted. Ameen.
As a proud aunty of 2!
(mashAllah), the little words i could suggest is you stock up on the essentials - milk, nappies, etc Also, dont buy all 93849644 0-3 month clothes, because babies GROW FAST! 
May Allah shine sweet faith upon you this day and times beyond. May your heart be enriched with peace, and may your home be blessed always. Ameen.

If your still having trouble naming him i'll help.

Congrats again bro (for all those who missed it i did tell you all on the no topic thread... but didnt want to start a new thread as i thought that honour shud lie with the Ed himself).
Saj i've been meaning to pop round but been busy bro... maybe sometime over the weekend.
My advice is burp the kid after every feeding or he'll get fussy. Learn how to hold him (you'd be surprised the number of people who dont know how to hold a baby) and rock him to sleep... maybe hum a lullaby... lol. Make sure he gets to take regular naps after feeding and dont keep him up after 8.
Possible names: Aman, Sajid Junr, Sajid 2.0, Salahdin (Sal for short), Rehan, Aryan, Zeeshan, Zain-Bin-Abadeen.

One cant help but wonder at the Admins statements, kind of confusing, but unspoken heard.
Any wayzzzzz Allaaah has blessed you with a Baby, may you find a beautiful name for the baby, may suggestions be benificial and Islamic. Watch out for unislamic suggestions and believe me it happens, especially within subcontinent comminities.
my penny for the day wasalams
By the way i speak in binary code 010010010100010001001001010010100101001010100101010010
thats my suggestion!

You want to call the child 259A4925211521, because thats what the code translates to.
ermm... maybe I shudn't post this. You will prbably start calling me a 'nerd' or even worse 'geek'

Jazakhallah for your kind words...
i will register the name tomorrow..
i wanted Jamal:-) but my wife hates it, or i wanted Gibreel, Mekaeel. But she wants either hasan, hadeed or shaheeb
but we have come to a compromise: Raihaan
what do you think?
every moment with baby is special ...but tiring, no sleep....but all worth it.
he's gonna have his hair cut on Monday....
picking up the baby is anew experience..i actually had a phobia of new born babies...thinking im gonna drop it!
babies are also expensive... but al hamdulilah..alll worth it...
at the mo...dont get much time for revival or anything else:-)

Yeah Raihan sounds ok.
Better than Jamaal.
For names it is best to use a base-26 system with a unique method of interaction.
A+A = AA
Far easier than hex or binary.
Or 'Ed could name the kid 1337. what a beautiful number.
The enemy of my enemy is my... enemy.
