A lovely Weekend

Today  we are at 38 weeks and we doing the countdown to holding baby J in our arms. Quite exciting I must say. Over the weekend I was telling my beloved that it is amazing how the floor seems so far. If something drops or you need to reach out for something, it really takes lots of effort but if you have helpful hands like baby gal's and her daddy life is bearable. Samara will always pick the shoe for mummy and I only need to slip my leg into the shoes.

Anyways, we were just chilling out at home on Saturday , when my sister Emma called and said she would love to pick Samara for the weekend.At Emma's home she is able to play with her three cousins. We quickly packed her bag and she couldn't even sit inside the house, she was seated at the door. Thankfully tata Emma was close by and the wait wasn't too long.

That left us home alone and I tell you we just chilled, no pressure to cook and it was relaxing. We had an impromptu date, went to eat junk food(not healthy) and later went for an evening play. We realized it had been a very long while since we had done that and were forever grateful to Emma and Chris. They are just the best. Sunday morning, made breakfast for two, prepared and went to church. Baby gal wasn't too keen to see us as her time with her cousins is always treasured. Infact we were saying, one would think we mistreat her at home, they way she cries when she has to say good bye to her cousins every Sunday..is depressing. Now you understand why we looking forward to baby J so that she can have company at home.

So a new week it is and we taking it a day at a time and loving it....

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
