Its been 3 amazing months already, parenting 3 litu humans that we brought into this world. I won't lie and say its been a walk in the park, no way!! It's been hard, some days are good others are difficult but by the grace of God we have made it this far.Our lituman has been growing- he is so good with numbers and does a good job in his math. He is now fully aware of his sorounding. He listens to what people say and also what they don't say. If you visit my home please be careful, very careful with your words or we will definitely have to explain what you meant to say.
The litu big Lady is also on the fast lane, she has all her 20 milk teeth, the teething journey has been so rough but here we are. She wants to feed herself her own way without any help. She loves attention and knows how to get it. She is learning how to talk and when she cant express it by words she signs it, which is really cute.
The litu litu Lady is growing so fast am amazed. We are already done with the fourth trimester. I just got back to work and she has adapted really well to being left at home. Her feeding is really good. She is a happy litu human always smiling she has to be the least loudest in the house, constantly observing her very loud siblings as they jump around the house. She smiles and laughs so beautifully. She also sleeps through the night which am so grateful for.
That is basically where we are as a family. The Beau and I are doing really good. We constantly remind ourselves we are only stewards to these three, they belong to God.Ours, is to ensure they grow up in Godly ways and we can only do that if we rely on God and we rely on each other.
Childbirth and parenting changes people, and it changes marriages too. You just have to embrace the change and positively move forward. I can never be the me i was before i had the lituones and i have to embrace that fact. My physical, social, spiritual even economical aspects of life can never be the same and that applys to the Beau too. We are better versions of ourselves. Our friendship has grown and so has our love. We now have to intentionally work out our marriage and seek to be with each other, talk over things and do things that do not involve changing diapers, doing home work or bathing other people. I have learnt to appreciate him more and try fit in his shoes and be more understanding. By the grace of God our babies have made us better humans, best friends and closer than we ever imagined.I look forward to crazier days full of joy and laughter with a twist of shouting and wondering why people wont stop when i say stop! Because thats what makes our family and its Love and Light.
Always,
Muthoni Muange.
