On Friday the 31st of May we visited the hospital, we needed to see the Doc because i had had a very rough night, Cleo and I barely slept. I couldn't wait to have this baby, plus I have never been pregnant for 39 weeks, the Lituman and Litulady came early so we were over the edge, and labor had been on and off for close to two weeks.
"The baby has a very high heart beat" the nurse's words hit me hard. "We need to find out why" This meant I couldn't get induced which was the option I was going for, but mostly I was worried about the baby. I had so many questions running in my head. When Cleo came in I broke down and cried, him being the pillar of our home prayed, asked God that everything goes well.
They had to break the water manually to check the cause of the high heart beat, and luckily it was clear. Then the baby settled and the heart beat was back to normal. I was to be put on a drip, which drives me crazy, by God's grace i was not. So labor begun at around mid day. We called all our loved ones and informed them. Labor is a crucial time and we always need as many prayers as possible. Plus we are not able to pray then, so we need someone to intercede on our behalf.
Labor as usual was crazy- for lack of a better description. We chose to walk through it this time. We have always experienced laboring at night, for both babies so we are always in bed. Laboring during the day is not that bad- funny thing is that I was still so sleepy!!! I think walking through it and getting to listen to music and dance it off will be memorable.
At around 6:35 in the evening our baby girl was here. So litu and beautiful, she chose not to cry loudly like her brother and sister, she cried so softly. Having her lie on me was amazing- another answered prayer that I am forever grateful for to God.
The whole family is excited, Cleo has been on a high since Friday. The Lituman is so happy being a big brother to two sisters and our Litulady is still wondering why mummy's tummy is small now, and there is a litu human who cries a lot. Our parents and siblings and close friends are over the moon. The Lord has done it again!! Our hearts are full of praise.
We named her Taraji Wema. Taraji means Hope and Wema means goodness.
We begin a journey, parenting 3 babies. We know we can not do it without God and so we have chosen to rely more on Him. For guidance, provision and knowledge and wisdom too. Join us as I get to share these adventures.
