Creative hands

Things i do that consume most of my time but yet make me so happy is being industrious. I started off designing cards when i was way younger then i started sketching designs for cute dresses i love then i started making accessories with ankara then making cute roses with empty egg crates now i fell in love with yarn and crotchet...

I started by making a little white new born bootie for my baby, then i went on playing with single and double crotchets and i made so many lovely booties, hats and hair bands. When a friend asked if i sell them, it then occured to me "i could make a little something out of this newly found hobby of mine".

I make not only cute baby booties, hats and hairbands, i also make beautiful costumes for that beautiful baby photo sessions that could be cherrished forever, check them out and holla for your babies. Don't forget to tell a friend...

The beauty of being pregnant: my story

I'd always imagined what it felt like to be pregnant, admiring celebrities that looked awesome with their baby bumps and it made me wish i could get pregnant straight away but when i see other pregnant women that turn out very dark with huge nose and pimples, i take back my wish. But you know what they say, you dont know what's involved till you get pregnant.

So i got pregnant and was over the moon with excitment when i found out on my 25th birthday, it was the best birthday gift from God ever. My mirror became my best friend, i couldnt stop looking at my tommy to know when the bump would start showing. Hubby was more excited than i was that he wouldnt let me eat groundnut. I was all bubbling till i was 7 weeks gone when the morning sickness set in. Now the excitments were all gone and i was struggling with so many things. I could barely eat my food, i hated meals and fruites i loved on a normal day, my favourite chicken and chips was a no go area for me, the aroma alone made me so sick.

After 16 weeks of morning sickness, dizzyness, headache and sleeping issues, i was ready to start rocking my tiny baby bump. I went for my first scan and it blew my mind knowing that a tiny life was developing insde of me. Wooow i was going to be a mum. Now the excitment went to another level. I didnt let the stress of being pregnant get in the way of my studies so i still went on studying very hard to make good grades.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, now i couldnt wait to go for my bump to baby photo session. I had so much fun striking poses and playing with the camera. I felt like the celebrities i always wish to look like when i get pregnant. I enjoyed every bit of my pregnancy except for the first 3 months when the early symptoms wanted to run me down.

Finally in the 3rd trimester, i was now anxious, i couldnt wait to see the little dribbler that has been kicking all night and sleeps through the day. The more anxious i got the longer he stayed then finally the long wait came to an end. There laid my boundle of joy and smiles.God blessed me with a baby boy as beautiful as a girl, fairer than i ever imagined; Cassidy Chimdindu Obichukwu.

Parental Advice

I saw this and i thought i should share...

1: Warn your girl child never to sit on any male's laps no matter the situation including uncles.

2:Avoid getting dressed in front of your child once (s)he is 2yrs old. Learn to excuse them or yourself.

3:Never allow any adult refer to your child as 'my wife' or 'my husband'.

4: Whenever your child goes out to play with friends make sure you look for a way to find out what kind of play they do, because young people now sexually abuse themselves.

5:Never force your child to visit any adult (s)he isnt comfortable with and also be observant if your child becomes too fond of a particular adult.

6: Once a very lively child suddenly becomes withdrawn, you may need to patiently ask lots of questions from your child.

7: Carefully educate your grown ups about the right values of sex. If you dont, the society will teach them the wrong values.

8: It is always advisable you go through any new material like cartoons you just bought for them before they start seeing it themselves.

9: Ensure you activate parental controls on your cable networks and advice your friends especially those your child(ren) visit(s) often to do so.

10: Teach your 3yr olds how to wash their private parts properly and warn them never to allow anyone touch those areas and that includes you (remember charity begins at home and with you).

11: Blacklist some materials and associates you think could threaten the sanity of your child (this includes music, movies,friends and even families).

12: Let your child(ren) understand the true value of standing out of the crowd.

13: Once your child complains about a particular person, dont keep quiet about it, take up the case and show them you can defend them.

Remember, we are either parents or parents-to-be.
