Meet My Baby, Ada Verastic

Here she is in all her glory. I had big ideas of the kind of [first] pictures I wanted to take of my baby, and I did not even care how much it cost. I made the appointment to go take the pictures on Wednesday, October 28th 2015, which was a day after her naming ceremony. But when that morning came, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I didn't want to wake up just yet, and I definitely didn't want to wake my baby up and give her a bath. Well, grandma would have given her a bath. But it still Read More

Journal #10: October 2015

Welcome to November. This will be my shortest journal entry ever because for the month of October, I had the greatest accomplishment of my life. There is nothing else I can write next to this accomplishment that would compare. In October 2015 - specifically on October 20th 2015 - I became a mommy. I loved this baby before she was even formed, and I loved her more when she was inside of me, but now that she's here and I can see her, touch her, and feel here, I am literally overwhelmed and Read More

Breastfeeding Breasts Are The Best Breasts!

Let me start by introducing my breasts. They're not huge, but they're definitely not small either. While we're on the issue of breasts, I might as well be as transparent as ever. I'm a 38D. Let me rephrase that: I was 38D before I got pregnant. I was told by many over zealous mothers (read: Solachi) that once I get pregnant, my breasts would explode. Well, I got pregnant and that didn't really happen. They got bigger, sure, but nothing like what I was expecting. I didn't even notice their Read More

Dear Sweet Potatoes, I’m A Mommy Now

The rumors are true. I, Vera Ezimora, am now a mommy. Igwe and I welcomed our baby girl on Tuesday, October 20th 2015 at 5:19 PM. She weighed 8 pounds and 10 oz and measured 20.5 inches. For those who measure weight in kilograms, she weighed about 3.8 kilograms. No, she was not a small baby at all. But then, we cannot be surprised. A lion can never give birth to a goat. Ha! For now, she's a yellow paw paw baby, but there's no telling what color she will eventually be. When I show you Read More

That Time This Lady Asked If I Was Having Fertility Issues

This isn't something that happened a long time ago oh. In fact, it was quite recent. So, I was at a home-event of a friend where there were lots of friends and acquaintances, and that was when this lady decided we should have this conversation in the kitchen (I am not aware that anyone else heard our conversation). But first, let me tell you about this lady. She's someone I've known for years. When I say that I have known her, I don't mean that we are friends, or that we are close, but we Read More
