IT'S A BABY GIRL

I held the legs of the obstetrician in excitement, shouting thank you Jesus
I could remember the receptionist rushing into the scan room, thinking there was a problem

But when she saw the excitement, she smiled and went back

How it all started
Exactly one year after the birth of my second son, I got pregnant again

Chaiii this time it was as if I managed to get to one year, even though I thought I was careful enough

When I saw the pregnancy test strips reading two lines, my heart sank as usual
I was always afraid of pregnancy even though I am married

I remember putting my baby to sleep and started rolling on the floor crying, asking God stupid questions like
God why me?

As if it was a crime (lolz)
After a moment, I thought to myself and said but I don't have a baby girl

In fact, people have started calling me 'MAMA BOYS'
So I negotiated with God saying, Father let it be a baby girl

I gave God one thousand and one reasons I needed a girl
Aghhh it was that serious
After a while

So I picked myself up
Dusted my body and became excited again like someone who had won a lottery

Shortly, my protruding stomach announced to everyone that baby number three was coming

Some gave me funny smiles
While others gave unsolicited advice like
Take am easy o
Na every year you dey born?
Some even called me touch and follow

One thing I told myself was that people must always talk
Even though I had asked God for a baby girl, I was still afraid to go for a scan all through that pregnancy, because of the thought of having another boy

Exactly one week to delivery
Close to my due date, I was scolded by my midwife to get my scan result

I reluctantly went, walking like a pigeon, telling myself Lord let your will be done

That was where the obstetrician scanned and told me I was expecting a baby girl
My joy was full
The scene I created made me look weird

Because most people who come for scans desire a boy
But they don't know my story
It's a miracle

Keep trusting God for that desire, the answer will come

Have you ever trusted God for something that felt impossible and later saw it happen?

RESENTMENT

Resentment is holding on to anger,hurt,pain that someone caused, refusing to let go

It's an invisible burden that is seated in the heart

Resentment can cause you your peace, salvation,your health and even your life

But you may ask that you are the one being hurt,yet being punished by self

Letting go may be hard,but let go and let GOD

Are they twins? (Part 2)

Yes. Something really happened.
Fortunately… or unfortunately (depending on the day 😅), we had to relocate back to Port Harcourt because hubby got a new job.

By then, the pregnancy was already 6 months gone, while my first son was just about to clock one year.

Yes. You read that right.
Being heavily pregnant and still breastfeeding?
Ah. That is a story for another day.

Even though I intentionally insisted on continuing to breastfeed, it was still a very tough decision.

Getting to Port Harcourt, I had to start all over again,sourcing for another hospital to continue my antenatal care. Thankfully, I found one.

This delivery, however, was a completely different experience.

Swift.
Smooth.
Safe.
Unlike the first.

All my fears disappeared, and my joy? Overflowing.
Only problem?
I was left to nurse two babies (lolz).

Fast-forward to now…
They’re growing.
Almost the same height.
Wearing the same size of clothes.

Doing almost everything together.
And once again, I’m left with the question:

ARE THEY TWINS?

Funny how some phases that seem so challenging at the time end up becoming some of the best things that ever happen to us. 💛✨

Wait… are they twins?”

That question follows us everywhere,especially on days they’re dressed alike.
No, they’re not twins.
They don’t even look alike like that.
But yes… same height, same build, same energy.

Here’s the plot twist:
I got pregnant again when my first son was just six months old.
First-time mum me?
Confused is an understatement.

When I broke the news to my husband, we just stared at each other like,
“So… what’s the plan now?”
Me there—breastfeeding a six-month-old, shaking, sweating, and trying not to cry.
“I honestly don’t know,” I said… as the tears came anyway.

And no, the tears weren’t just from shock.
My first delivery came with a terrible episiotomy.

After healing, the stitches were supposed to dissolve,
They didn’t.
At my baby’s 6-week immunization, I mentioned the discomfort.
Next thing I knew, I was back in the labour ward,
Another procedure.

This time, they manually removed the stitches.

That pain?
Worse than labour itself.
So hearing “you’re pregnant again” barely six months later felt like the worst news I could receive.
Fear. Panic. So many questions.

But with steady encouragement from my mum and my husband, I chose to continue the journey.
And then… somethings happened.

Drop a comment and watch out for the next post.

Now your turn:
What’s that one fear you survived—
the kind you look back on now and laugh about?

Me?
I laugh very loud 😄

What do you do in your trying times?

Yes, I’m talking to you.

Those times you feel overwhelmed with the pressures of life.

Those times it seems like you are working like an elephant and eating like an ant.

Those times it seems like all your mates have made it except you.

Those times you pray but it seems like God is deaf to give an answer.

Or maybe those times bills and responsibilities are piling up but there’s no source to meet them.

What do you do?

Do you run to the devil’s call?

Do you become a double-standard believer? Being a saint during the day and a criminal at night?

Do you denounce your faith because you feel God is too slow?

Remember, patience is a virtue.

Though it may tarry, it must surely come.

But you need to wait for it,
because you never know how close you are to your success.

DON’T GIVE UP
KEEP PUSHING
YOU’LL GET THERE.

HAPPY NEW WEEK
