FOR FIRST TIME DADS


May all the deepest desires of your heart come to be...this month and all through the year.
Happy new month guys; Its still new abi?
Even if it's day three

So July!
Hmmm...
Until two years ago, July used to be ordinary to me, now July is a super special month, because my baby will be 2 by the end of the month! See how time flies!
You should see how much teeth I'm shining as I type this...lol

So speaking of babies, today I choose to share a 'poem'..I wrote when I was pregnant with my princess..
It's a poem cum letter;
I hope it gives you an insight as to where the 'chic' you married disappeared to.
Lol... Not to worry, she''ll be back, very soon.

TO FIRST TIME DADS

My love,
If you come back tonight
And Im not at the door to give you a hug;
Or I turn my back before I give you a kiss,
I haven't stopped being loving, I'm just full.
Or you walk into the kitchen
And the dishes are piled high in the sink, and you feel the dust on your sole as you walk barefoot
I haven't become dirty, it just feels like hell to stand for too long, or tears my head apart to bend

And then you come into our hallowed chambers, and the lights are off
And I'm snoring; dressed in your oversized boxers and tee shirt
Not one of the fancy nighties you got for our honeymoon
I haven't become sloppy, I've become changed
Albeit for a short while

So forgive me,
When affection is zero
Or the house hasn't been mopped for over a week
Or the dishes stay overnight in the kitchen sink
Or I'm more often in my birthday suit
Than in the sexy dress of a new wifey
Or I doze midway into a conversation
Or my temper is shorter than a fuse
It's just for a while
Something is happening within me, that even I do not understand,

So let's go through this together
I promise to always cook you a good meal,
Even if that's the only thing I do.

But promise not to remind me, that there are others like me;
Walking about under the midday sun, hawking their wares.
Don't ask if I'm better than she is
Cos' you know the answer,
I'm not.
Everyone goes through this in their own peculiar way

So until the trimesters are over
And there's an addition to our number
Forgive my shortcoming...
My life is changing; such that even I do not know ME
