Laila: Our relationship now is so different. We used to enjoy going to the movies and dinner, but now, having the baby, it’s easy to forget to take time for yourself.
Curtis: We can’t just get up and go. Our time outside of the house really has to be planned.
Laila: But we’re not missing anything. The only problem is, I’m tired all the time. So as soon as I get free time, I want to go to sleep.
Curtis: Laila is very attentive to him. He has a certain whine for one thing, a certain cry for another. She automatically picks up on what it is.
Laila: He is very feisty, and he knows what he wants.

Curtis: We can’t just get up and go. Our time outside of the house really has to be planned.
Laila: But we’re not missing anything. The only problem is, I’m tired all the time. So as soon as I get free time, I want to go to sleep.
Curtis: Laila is very attentive to him. He has a certain whine for one thing, a certain cry for another. She automatically picks up on what it is.
Laila: He is very feisty, and he knows what he wants.

Courtesy Laila Ali There is a very good reason expectant parents are advised to sleep while they still can! Laila Ali cites the lack of shut-eye as the biggest challenge she faced after welcoming son Curtis Muhammad Jr., who turns 1 this week.
“I didn’t have any idea I was going to be as tired as I am,” the 31-year-old professional boxer and Dancing With the Stars alum tells the Fall 2009 issue of Fit Pregnancy. “I love to sleep, and I’m used to getting eight to 10 hours a night. Now, when I get five, I’m thrilled.” The sleep deprivation has taken a toll. “I’m not on top of things like I normally am,” she admits. “I’ve got a pile of paperwork, messages to return and laundry that needs to be done.” Keeping the focus on Curtis Jr. helps, however.

Muhammad Ali's daughter has filed legal papers in a bid to prevent a U.S. court dragging the boxing legend into a messy financial battle.
Laila Ali is currently embroiled in a bitter dispute with her husband's ex-wife - who has gone to court to demand former football star Curtis Conway increase her child support payments over the former couple's three kids.
Leoria Sanamu Conway wants the court to consider Laila Ali's income, and any possible inheritance she will receive from her famous father.
But Ali has filed papers in a bid to stop Sanamu Conway accessing her financial records, and those belonging to her dad - insisting the request for information in relation to her "inheritance or potential inheritance" is an invasion of privacy, according to TMZ.com.
The court papers, obtained by the website, claim the legal bid is "clearly designed to harass and burden Ms. Ali."...
