April Baby Bump Season

 I decided to do a personal photoshoot.
You know why?
All work and no play makes Tosin a dull girl.
I took a break with my lovely hubby. He was presenting and attending the SGM Conference in Liverpool, so I opted for the 'lazy mode'. I was the tourist while he was the researcher. I also took a few days away from school workload, university research, literature reviews, tiresome simulations, unending meetings and deadlines, petty earnings and round the clock activities.
I got busy with myself at my lovely residence. 
Did I say residence?
Oh No!
4 Star hotel!
Don't spite me! My level will change.
I was at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel, Liverpool. I loved the place. They met all my needs as far as I could remember.
I had a 5 Star Breakfast that morning just as previously. My options as simple as always was: 2 Toast, 1 pot of yogurt with cereals and jam, a piece of banana fruit and 2 pieces of tangerine. Topped it with 2 cups of apple juice. 
Why the healthy eating option? First, my baby must not be "black charcoal" according to the African women colour chart. I did not forget the term, "black is beautiful" but I do prefer the chocolate option.
Creamy! Yummy!!
Secondly, I am a halleluyah diet fan. Ask me with a comment below, if you don't understand the halleluyah diet thingy.
As I was saying, I got back into my room and settled for my photo shoot session with my 8 months plus bump size. 
Ha! My bump was very big. I've decided to cut that part out  to save you from some damaging and neck breaking laugh  but I promise to post that later. Watch out for my later post. 

Photo 1: I am there too
Photo 2 (Top Right): Face me, I face you
Photo 3 (Top Left):  Have a great day O jare! 
Photo 4 (Top Right): Don't laugh at me
Photo 5 (Top Left): Flashing Amber

Till then
Much Love

The Face of a Happy Mum


Sleepless nights! Moments of sucks and wipes! Dirty nappies! Screeching noises from santa cries! Puzzling looks! Demanding rocks and hops! Severe colic nights! Puzzling growth spurt hours! Many days on milk spots worries! Tireless researching and reading! Many failed attempts on planned routines! Several ruined timetables! Unplanned money spend! This phase is very interesting but i am the face of a happy mum. I am amazed, intrigued, privileged and grateful for this bundle of joy.

The Unseen Hand



I am slightly in between two worlds-anxious & amazed.

Anxious!

It's getting very hard to sleep at night. To the right, to the left, with pillows, with legs up, I have to do a sleep rehearsal to find one.

I can feel her cozy feet somewhere hanging over my belle button. She's very active, giving me kicks when I deserve it. A little say, "please sit me comfortably", "I am enjoying this rhythm", "I can't wait to be out to wee and give you dirty nappies". 

I can see she's swallowing more; she's gaining more weight, I am getting a swollen face. My pelvic floor is telling me, I've got a staying visitor. I've got to move legs apart.

I tell friends to call me a moving train. It's hard to move about, slightly picking my steps with one leg apart. I spend my days in drama. 

Oh my! I am very anxious to be a mum. When I lay on my bed, I dream all kinds of dreams. Who would she resemble? How would she look like? I am so anxious about birth. What would it look like? Would I scream like a angry bird or sing like a parrot? Would it be easy or hard as they say it is? It's a world all new to me.

I am amazed at the work His hands!

How did this little thing that I once could not feel, grow up so much that I am like a growing pot of soup. 

No wonder King David wrote, "For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you."

Truly, I am amazed. "Your eyes have seen my unformed substance". My eyes can behold "The Unseen Hand" that formed the inward parts of my unborn child. "Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well."
