IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (6)

When she gave the first push, the midwives began to encourage her. I kept telling her, “Babe, I am here. You can do this”. When the team lead noticed that she was getting a bit tired after about three pushes. She did something profound- she took my wife’s hands and told her, “Touch your baby’s head. She is here already.

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (5)

The nurse told my beloved wife, “When you sense a strong urge that feels like you want to defecate, let me know. It means you are ready to push”. Then she left us to attend to other things. Some few minutes later, my wife began to say to me, “I want to defecate”. I called the midwives and they all […]

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (4)

When we landed at the hospital, the nurse on duty ushered us into the labour room to check the progress of labour. We had been confessing throughout the pregnancy that she dilates fast, fully and delivers with ease. When the nurse checked and mentioned that she was 8cm gone, we simply began to rejoice. Hope was lifted. We looked at […]

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (3)

Irewamiri had a typical morning routine of getting things set for the school while I had to bathe Danielle and get her ready also. As labour progressed, we had to decide to either abandon everything and focus on labour or just carry on with our morning schedule in the midst of it all- we focused on our morning schedules. She […]

IN THE MIDDLE OF LABOUR (2) – “MUMMY! DANCE”

After about 4 hours of being awake, I kept on encouraging Irewamiri as she went through the intermittent pains of labour. I would hold her as the pains heightened. She told me what she wanted me to do to help her through. But then Danielle woke up and noticed something unusual was happening. As we strolled in the compound around […]

AMID LABOUR (1)

Around 2 am, Irewamiri came to wake me up with these words, “Baby, I have been labouring for the past 2 hours. I cannot do it by myself. I need you by my side”. Well! Sleep vanished. I did not even know she was not by my side anymore. We began to labour together. 😊 Birthing your God-given vision is […]

OF “GOD SEES MY HEART” AND GODLY STANDARDS 

A while back, one of the Christian organizations I relate with paid us a courtesy visit in the office. In the middle of our conversation, I realised that one of the female executives had no issue with having her male fiancé spend the night in her room. I had to take out time to teach and guide them by the […]

I WANTED TO PICK HER HEARTBEAT

It was our first few weeks into marriage. I cannot particularly remember what led to the misunderstanding (Not sure if there was any in the first place). All I remember was my lovely wife went into the guest room and locked the door from behind- she did not want me close at all. Having no other choice, I picked up […]

DO NOT LET THE MESS STOP YOU 

Some years ago, It was my cousin’s wedding. I was driving down from Iseyin to Ibadan that cool Saturday in October. I had an associate in ministry with me. Just a few kilometres from the wedding venue, I was pressed. I wanted to do the minor.  I found a convenient spot in a bushy area. I parked the vehicle and […]
