Popular and the highest paid blogger Linda Ikeji is Expecting her first son. She posted some adorable photos on her blog this afternoon, expressing her love for babies.
In her words, she said:
I grew up in a compound with a lot of neighbours and believe it or not, as a teenager/young woman, I was the unofficial resident babysitter. I swear, ask my siblings. I literally carried all the newborn babies born in that compound for a period of time until they grew up to a certain age. Their mums used to come drop the babies at our house whenever they were tired or wanted to go out, this was, of course, to the annoyance of my family…lol.
So many women have had children, so what’s the big deal, huh? Lol. Well, you see me, I’m somewhat of a different case. There’s something about me that I have never talked about publicly before and that’s the fact that I love children so much (I took that from my dad), and I am particularly obsessed with babies, and I mean that literally. Their pureness, innocence, little beautiful faces, tiny hands and soft cheeks make me just want to be around them.
So now imagine that in a few months, I will look down at a baby, and it won’t be a neighbor’s child, a friend’s child, a sister’s child, but my own child, my own flesh, and blood carried in my womb. My own son. It’s surreal. I can’t get over it.
Words of prayers where said by her blog readers while some suggested that she could
have done things the right way by getting married first before falling pregnant as a role model to many women it would have made a difference especially as a Christian in this generation where children are conceived before a marriage union.
Wishing you a safe delivery.
