It's A Girl!




I have some big news that I’ve been meaning to share; my husband and I have a little girl!  She came last month and earlier than expected, but thankfully she’s perfectly healthy and doing wonderfully well.  We couldn’t be happier and more excited.  It’s truly a miracle given my health issues and a very high risk, complicated pregnancy that we’ve been blessed with this little baby and are now a family!

Life has a whole new rhythm.  Feedings, diaper changes, and tons of hugs, kisses, and snuggles are what make up my days and nights. We’ve been lucky to have lots of support from family, but this is a whole new kind of work.   Like many first time moms, I’ve got lots to learn and everything is new to me.  And of course, I’ve got the added challenge of trying to figure out how to take care of myself and keep my health stable so I can take care of her.   When do I fit in rest, putting in eye drops, eye soaks, keeping my medicine organized, doctors appointments? I know this will be an ongoing process, but for now I’m just basking in being a new mommy and doing the best I can with our little one.

I'll try to keep posting when I can, like right now--when she’s peacefully napping, but I just had to share our joy with all of my wonderful readers!

    1. Thanks Vickie for your kind words. As you can see it has been busy as I'm just responding now ;)). It truly is a labor of love and so rewarding. Each day brings new excitement and she changes almost daily. I can't believe how much she's already grown. We're loving being new parents.

  3. Congrats to you guys!! Enjoy the time you have with your new bundle. The old adage, "sleep when she does" is SO true. Figuring out mommyhood and how to make it work with taking care of you can seem daunting. Give it a couple of months and it will be hard for you to remember a time when you weren't snuggling your sweetie while putting in eye drops one handed. ;o)

  5. There is no other way to get the body of herpes virus other than detoxification using natural diet or pure herbs. The health industry is a billion dollars industry - which is why the big pharmaceuticals sued Dr. Sebi the moment he discovered a 1-Week CURE FOR HERPES (Oral and Genital). Most diseases are acquired by what you eat. Even when infected by someone, it thrives because your body is receptive and filled with mucus. No disease can survive in an electric filled body. What you eat will determine how you live, how you behave, and even how it relates to you. Detoxification is the heart of ridding the body of the herpes virus. There is no other way to bring the necessary result. There are three ways to achieve this; Stop putting acidic foods into the body - if possible eat only alkaline diet, Fast daily before eating if possible for a year, Cleanse the body of toxins and acids with Nze Njoku Herbal Formula (Which also increases oxygen to cells). Feed the body with the right nutrients to repair, rebuild, and strengthen it at a cellular level and watch the body heal itself.

    Some may wonder, how long is one expected to maintain such a diet and what herbs can help you achieve all these within few weeks?

    Nze Njoku Herbal Home provides all the
    answers.
