Tell Oga to carry you
During my last pregnancy,he became a beast of burden
When I return sef,I will call him at the driveway to come and remove me from the car because after sitting and driving for 40 minutes from work my legs will congeal and refuse to move
In the morning,he will come and bring down my legs from the double decker bed and sit me up then help me stand and walk me to the bathroom
My last pregnancy was really hard on me in the later months

Don't worry, you go soon drop engine. But you know what? Abeg enjoy the peace and quite now, because when Moca Jnr arrives, it's going to be endless nappy changing and sleepless nights oh!

Hahahahaaaa!
I'm a very positive minded person else I will be gloomy always.
It's better to change nappy always than this.
But it's all for a good cause na

I pity my smallie. Every time sorry.

@babyosisi, is it not when u see the man around? As I type, he is in another state.
Only me and my smallie most times.
I'm so lucky to have good nebor's. Once they see at d balcony, they will ask if I need anything.

@ coco,
chilli,i see u

Honestly, u ladies have been helping me a lot even at my worst moment. That time when I can't laugh out, I laugh inside me and it's like tonic.
Thanks all.

Who said I should blend veggie and fruits?
Abeg, i recently stopped vomiting o.

Mbok!

Men! If I could, I would transport myself back to the village and become a full blown farmer for at least one month! I go grind pepper, tomatoes, and onions with grinding stone. Trek far and fetch water from the stream borehole in those shiny iron buckets and place ontop of ma head...dey waka and swagger my ikebe along the foothpath.

I'll even get Chilli to accompany me on her bicycle and both of us will go to the farm together to plant vegetables and dig yam ridges...I know at the end of that one month, I go don burn many, many, calories.

My dear
That's why people should have all their babies early
The last borns aka "oops there it is ,babies" do a hard one on us
I can't even tell you how and when this child was conceived
I was done with child bearing and rearing and taking precautions
How this kid entered my womb,I have no clue up till this day ROFL
We were very very shocked
In fact I was in tears
If he wasn't a spitting image of my husband with their opioro mango head,the man would have asked me to swear to an oracle that I didn't do kwanangida

Er...it happened as a result of some kinda "games" you both played...and someone "scored" a goal.

Yep, my last pregnancy was kinda tough on me. Not as per feeling unwell or throwing up or having swollen legs, et al. I got none of that. It's just that it was a "big" pregnancy. I looked like I was carrying twins. People assumed I was carrying twins or more. It got to the point where even getting off the sofa was wahala in itself. Hubby was like, "this pregnancy's really got you" like say na me do myself?

Anyway, I used to get my sons to pull me up to my feet. They even helped in dragging me up the stairs. On the few occasions I went out with them, I was so slow on my feet, they had fun teasing me. Needless to say, when madam was finally taken out via C-section (head not engaged, most times her presentation was transverse) she came out weighing 5.37kg

I'm surprised I wasn't diabetic at all.

By my last month I was sleeping downstairs on the couch in the living room
After my morning bath I came down to make breakfast and stayed down
The children will get my nightgown and cover and I changed and stayed downstairs till morning
I will crawl up the stairs in the morning to take a bath or crawl down to the basement to use the bathroom there

After that experience,I asked the OBGYN to tie my tubes as soon as baby is born
I couldn't risk another pregnancy
I was huge too

Isn't it ironic how some women are praying and fasting for babies and others are taking measures not to have babies

Hmm pregnancy things not easy. I believe God gives extra strength to go through those moments.

**In Edwife's voice: Beauty is pain!***

The thing is most times we live sedentry kinda lifestyle. That's why it's accumulating.
Nobody hardly walks again.

So it's telling on us.
Also to belong, we eat junks instead of healthy cooked food.

When we do one or two adjustments, honestly we r good to go.

Eg I tried something with my baby. I never gave him biscuits and chocolates and all those things. Just normal balanced food.
Now he is finding it hard eating them.


me lovey that village feeling.
So refreshing and natural.
My prayer is to end up where I can call a village even if it's in d city.
I simply love d natural feeling and scenarios

marbee:

Yes,it is very motivational even though we deviate from d main thing sometimes.

Living well is not a rocket science.

A grandma friend of mine who is diabetic(83) still drinks beer.
It runs in her family but they manage it well by eating healthy food and still live fulfilled life.
This grandma still cooks. She can host battalions everyweek.
Always on d go.
She said the day she stops doing anything is d day she will quietly go home.

Even with helps everywhere, she still cooks.
All d children r scattered around the world so she travels anyhow. At 83?
I was highly impressed.
D only thing she don't do is drive.

Lol so our madam was this much trouble? no wonder the high premium....doh

Babyosisi, I totally get your 'oops baby,' that happened with my 4th too. Cried and was in denial for 5 months. Especially since I thought we were experts in family planning. First 3 kids had 5 year gap between them ie 15 yrs preggie and delivery for 3 kids and here comes last baby 1 and half years after number 3. It was terrible!

....
Okra and ugwu fish n chicken

Lol @ "high premium"! Na so na.

Yeah, thought I was / we were done with having more kids as the gap between her and our last son is nearly ten years. Needless to say, we've had to "re-learn" how to look after a baby. It's been all hands on deck sha...and good tutorials for her older brothers as per feeding, nappy changing, potty training, bottle making, bathing, and er...dealing with diva tantrums and girly drama.

Lol! I woke this morning to the voice of a little someone whispering in my ears:

Daughter:Mum! Mum!!
Me: hmmm?

Daughter: can I have a princess bicycle? (£89.99)
Me: (sleepy) yes

Daughter: And a pink scooter?
Me: Yes (anything to avoid early morning drama

Daughter: And blue Spiderman scooter (and something else I can't remember)
Me: (fully awake now) No!!

Daughter: (Grinning) okay but can I have the princess bike instead? (see negotiating skills oh!)
Me: Yes. D'you want pancakes for breakfast?
Daughter: Yes!

So much for a lie in on Saturday morning...

My healthy breakfast!

A slice of wholemeal brown bread, look-alike fried egg with a sprinkle of black pepper and salad cress (no oil used &prepared with a non-stick pan), grapes, cucumber slices, ham, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and an orange.
