Hey there!

Hello! How have you been? Trust you are doing okay and keeping really well? I am fine,I could be better though.😊

You know how something happens that just jolts you out of whatever bubble you have been in?It happened to me two days back.

Nicole had career day at her school yesterday and she had been on my case about making a medical doctor’s scrubs for her but I was busy and preoccupied with a lot of stuff in my head so I didn’t get round to it.
Then ,two days back,she reminded me career day was yesterday and I was really broke,Mike and I both actually,I don’t like it when the kiddos need something for school and it is not readily available plus this one she had informed me since.

I gathered everything in my purse and went to the market to look for a fabric that would serve the purpose,I got something that was relatively okay considering that she would use it for just one day and I just proceeded to make something using her measurements I took sometime in January of this year or thereabouts.

After making it,the pants looked somewhat small comparing it to her size but I just shrugged it off thinking I am sure I used her measurements.

Got home and the pants would not go past her lower thighs,ah! I retook her measurements and this child,this my child that was just born yesterday had added all of 3 inches to her hip and bust measuremnt😳.Ah!

I don’t even know how to explain how I felt but it made me so nostalgic like did I not just have this girl yesterday? My baby is not so baby anymore! Puberty has come with its attendant changes and I don’t even know that I am ready for ‘mothering’ a pre-teen/adolescent 😪

I had to take back the pants after she begged and begged me to adjust it,I said she should just wear the top with a pair of jeans but she would not stop begging me.

My baby grew while I wasn’t looking! Like where did my little girl go? I cannot even carry this child anymore as she is almost as tall as I am.

Of course I knew she was growing I see the physical changes,we discuss them all the time but I think it just really registered yesterday how much she has grown.

I am however thankful that she and Zayne are growing up into really amazing people. I guess my brain just has to accept that we are moving into another phase of parenting. Is it going to be easy?I don’t know but I guess I will just have to do what I have always done,give it my best shot while trusting God for guidance and praying and hoping my best is enough.

Being a good parent is one of the most important things to me,I take it seriously and I hope you do too😁

Remember,you are your own biggest cheerleader. Never stop cheering for yourself!
