Welcome to the World, Baby M!
#ea5512 Please welcome baby M to the world and pray for God’s blessings in his life:
★ Musa Ajyadi Romas ★
Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA – May 8, 2015 2.26 AM – 6lb 4.3oz (2.8 kg) 20″6′ (52.4 cm)
The first name “Musa” was founded Sept 21, 2012 on the way to Hokkaido, Japan where we had our first honeymoon. It’s inspired from the word “musashi” (武蔵 –> 武 –> 武者 = warrior). It’s also a Messenger’s name of Islam, Moses (Musa is spelling in Arabic / Bahasa Indonesia) who had important role in saving mankind from arrogant Pharaoh of Egypt. We love this name because of simplicity and strong representation of bravery. We hope baby M grows up to be a brave man in the way of righteousness just like warrior or Prophet Moses.
MUSA as combination of “Michigan” and “USA” is also nice to remember anyway :))
The last name “Romas” is determining since our wedding May 5, 2012. Taken from Aisar’s last name, passed down from generation to generation for male descendants in his family, we hope this given name inspires baby M to make big impact for the society like his great-grandparents (ROMlah-ASyari), who have successfully built a family social business on Islamic education.
The middle name “Ajyadi” was decided just few minutes after baby M’s birth. It’s taken from one of the gates name in Masjid Al-Haram, the holiest worship place for Muslim. We had favorite spot to pray nearby “Ajyad gate” during hajj journey in Oct 2013 where we tirelessly asked for God to give us this baby boy 🙂 In Arabic, “ajyad” can be variant names of “ajiad” which means noble or from the word “jayyid” which means good. We hope baby M lives his life as that way, not only good but also noble.
Underestimate
Another #ea5512 story.. I cannot stop thinking about what my husband’s supervisor said yesterday. In our journey of pursuing graduate study, I think both of us are lucky to have professors who really care and understand about our life as a family. Three years ago, when I was about to start writing my thesis and opening new academic year, I had to go home country for preparing my wedding. It was hard to say to my professor that I need err.. two months, including a month off of my lectures and lab meetings with him 😀 He was surprised at the beginning when I was telling him my plan, but then he supported and permitted me to present my thesis progress every week via Skype during my stay in Indonesia. I felt so relieved and was very thankful to be his student. When I went back to Japan after my wedding, he and another professor in the same lab even gave me a lovely wedding gift and big congratulation. Yesterday was Aisar’s turn to be kindly treated by his professor. We have known him as a nice person indeed, even before coming to Ann Arbor. He’s the one who helped Aisar got his application to UM goal. He offered another job to Aisar for internship during summer vacation, but he asked first when Aisar will be able to begin the work since he knows that we are going to have baby soon. Aisar said one month after our baby is born will be okay (means mid of June). However, I’m sure Aisar didn’t expect that he would say: “Is there any of your family coming to help you and your wife?” (the answer is none, of course) “Oh, no.. no.. you’ll be busy FOR MONTHS! I think you’re underestimating the home works as a new parent.” Hahaha.. Slap! I’m really happy Aisar’s professor implicitly ‘taught’ fatherhood to him in such way 😛 Thanks, Sir! *photo: preparing homemade baby mobile*
