Celebrating their first birthday today, Chidinma not only shared photos of them but also revealed how overwhelming the responsibility of six children under the age of three, is.
Read her narration below:
“It’s been 1 hell of a bumpy ride. when i had my 1st set of twins, the sleepless nights Koby and Kaira gave me, i thot i had seen it all.Hell NO! Not until i had the Quadruplets. While pregnant with them, i had issues with my helps ( chai, these helps know how to misbehave at d wrongest time)😭😭.
I was soo frustrated that i sent dem home at once, I took care of my home with the help of my darling hubby while heavily pregnant ( was about 6months pregnant or so but my tummy was as big as a normal 9months old pregnancy)..
Yes, i preferred to take care of my home and my 1st set of twins cos it was just easier having 2 grown ups misbehave just because they tot u were handicapped.
I needed to prove them wrong or so i thought. I swept , mopped,cooked…i couldn’t help but do these things against my Doctor’s advice.
My hubby, oh! My darling hubby…I will marry u again in ny next world. He bathed Koby n Kaira, fed them, kept the house clean when necessary, joins me in d kitchen when I’m cooking ,clean d kitchen after wards,asked me to go to bed so he can stay up with Koby n Kaira until dey go to bed, still comes out every hour to check up on Us .Kneels by my bed side to pray for hrs even though sometimes he sleeps off while praying🤣🤣.All these were done after going 2ru d stress of work at his Work place.
At some point, False Contractions set in due to stress. Hubby asked me to pack a few clothes because i would be going to LIFE HOSPITAL AWKA for the medical team to take Proper care of me.
I cried bitterly not because i was scared buh cos i considered a whole lot…i tot of things like:who will take care of my babies,?ow will they feed while in in far away Awka with hubby? Ow will dey go to school? Ow will my husband take care of my kids and still take care of me at once?oh! I cried soo hard.Little did i know that God had it all planned out already.
We managed to take the kids to my Parents-in-law Pius Ifeanyichukwu Okafor Maureen Okafor , my mum Chukwu Gold n kid sis stayed with them.By thedway,thnk God for my parents in law, my kid sisChioma Paul n my mum.They took proper care of my babies, my mum took them to school with the driver , sometimes alone, rushed home , prepare for work…My Swt mum,i love u chai…
” U know that saying “A lady appreciates her mother more wen she starts having her own babies” ….Very True.
They jointly took care of my babies while we were away .wen Koby n Kaira came to see me at d hospital, i was super happy, they added so much weight.They looked well taken care of.
But i wondered how my mother n kid sis were coping cos Koby n Kaira still wake every 3hrs to feed even at night.Well, to cut the long story short, my sis managed to stop dat 🤣🤣🤣How? That’s a story for another day.
I Had my Quadruplet at 32wks n that was d beginning of another journey. This past few months hasn’t been an easy 1 .
The 4 of them can decide to run temperature at once (especially after immunization) making me to have up to 30mins sleep all 2ru d night.
At a time i asked myself if Immunization was really necessary 😅.Dat shit makes dem sick like crazy😩😩.Everything with dem has bn a struggle.They all want equal attention, dey want to b fed at 1c, evn dis pictures eh, i planned using 3 diff outfits for dis photoshoot buh see me nah….we ended up with 1, with a lot of begging o! Koby n kaira ain’t left out o!
Life itself hasn’t bn easy at all.coupled with d fact dat i have to add my fashion dream to the whole thing.
B4 i started, i had doubts, i wondered if it was possible to go to a proper fashion school to learn with d time constraint n all…dia was no free time. I decided to learn online.YES! I learnt to do all these without going to a fashion house.
At night when everybody must have gone to bed, i have 2hrs sleep n wake up to to go thru the internet n find thing that will help me n my fashion dream.THE MIND!!! The mind has a big role to play inorder for success to b achieved. Trust me! It’s bn months n I’m here, waxing stronger by d day.I never thought i could do it buh here i am.
We are a year old today, now u can see why I’m particularly happy about this birthday. It marks d beginning of freedom to a certain level.
Shebi u see all these ppl tapping upandan,let me say it 1c more, it’s not easy o! U will get frustrated at some point but trust me, if u keep pushing,you will b marveled at d level of strength u ave.
Happy birthday my swt babies. ” Chidinma disclosed in her lengthy post.
