Each day I'm getting closer and closer to my due date.

I have mixed feeling

I'm excited. I'm going to see the baby growing inside me for 9 months.

I'm trying to imagine how she looks like, but I can't. Well she be like me or like her father or both of us?? However, the most important thing that she will be healthy enshallah

I can't wait to hold her in my hand

On the other hand, My due date is 23-5-2012 while last day at college is 14-6-2012, so I'm very nervous and trying not to panic.

But how not to panic when I have many projects to finish. In top of that, at the time of the final exam, I will enshasllah have a new born baby. How I'm going to study !!!

Wait there is more, now I have pregnancy rash !!!!!

It's on my tummy, legs and arm and it's itching like crazy and it look awful. The only solution for it is giving birth :(

All what I do is being patient and have trust in God and pray that every thing will be OK.

The Benefits of Jigsaws for Adults/ another hobby of mine

The Benefits of Jigsaws for Adults

People of all ages enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles. Babies will often be given a basic wooden jigsaw as an early toy and many people come back to puzzling in later life as a hobby. This isn't just about having fun. Doing a jigsaw comes with a range of mental and physical benefits and they can also make great gifts with a bit of thought.

Although many adults get out of the habit of doing jigsaws as they grow older this remains a popular hobby for a lot of people. It is also a common pastime for people who have recently retired and who are looking for something fun to do now that they have more time on their hands. Many also believe that there are some real benefits to doing jigsaws, especially as people get older. These include:

Doing jigsaw puzzles can keep the mind active. Relaxing and fun as puzzles may be they will also involve the use of specific areas of the brain and a variety of mental skills. Many people find that one of the bonuses of puzzling is that it helps keep their minds active and alert
Jigsaws can also be used positively from a physical perspective as people get older. Many find, for example, that doing a jigsaw regularly, even for just a few minutes a day, can be a useful way of promoting manual dexterity.

Doing jigsaw puzzles is a mutual hobby between my husband and I. We enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles of 1000 pieces.

Here are pictures of puzzles that we did together:
