Baby...... Duduke.

Hello friends and music lovers. I welcome you warmly to my blog.

Before you were born, I carried you under my heart. From the moment you arrived in this world until the moment I leave it, I will always carry you in my heart _Mandy Harrison

Today I'm super excited, I can't help but to infect you all with this bug called Joy. The quote above should have given a hint by now.😁

I woke up to a wonderful news this morning. The call was from my friend who relocated to Abuja (the capital of Nigeria), after she got married.

She has been struggling to conceive for about five years since her marriage. She has also been having series of miscarriages but today, I received good news.

She successfully carried her pregnancy to full term and was delivered of a bouncing baby girl last night. Her pink jet landed safely. I screamed while on the phone cos I was aware of all the pains, stress and struggles that she encountered from losing her pregnancies repaeatedly.

You see Nigeria is diversified in cultural ethics and norms. Some cultural demands and practices are cool while some are barbaric. The barbaric ones are so disgusting that it causes ripples of shock to course through me whenever I hear about them or witness them.

For instance, a woman can be chased out of her matrimonial home just because of child bearing delay or difficulty. Some cultures label women who do not conceive promptly as witches or dead log of wood.

In my friend's case, she received a handful of calls from both relatives, fake friends and others asking her ugly questions about why she was yet to give birth to children as if she intentionally refused to birth children. I know how I encoiraged her to keep trusting God because she would laugh last and finally it has happened.

So right now I'm so grateful to God for coming through for my friend and her family.

The second good news is that, my friend named me as her daughter's god mother.
Yay! I have a little god daughter....it feels so surreal.

Seriously like right now I can't wait for the holidays so that I can travel to see the cute little princess.

Children are gifts and like @ibbtammy stated in one of her posts, children are golden. They bring with them so much joy and happiness that you can't help but fall in love over and over again.

So I am feeling so ecstatic, I need to burn off some calories by dancing, hehe.

I am dedicating this lovely song that inspired my joyful mood, to the new baby and latest mum. Come join me and let's rock this song together, @kingsleyy, @jmis101 and @adoore-eu, come duduke with me.
