Omugwo Chronicles -12

LOL...What a surprising Omugwo story

Dear Stella, 

 I got Married to an amazing Man, an only Son, Bread Winner and Mummy`s Boy (LOL). 

I realised i was pregnant 9yrs ago immediately after our wedding. On hearing the news of my pregnancy MIL won`t let me be! AT 2 Months,She`s already anxious to know the sex of the baby, because i noticed that she wants a Boy, as my Hubby is the only Son out of six Ladies! during the end of first trimester, she always comes around pushing Hubby to ask me to go for a Scan, DH, always scold her to stop, as this was our first issue, whether Boy or Girl, he`s happy to be a Father. 

Because of this pressure, My Man told her to stop coming to our House. To avoid all her side talks "THE SHAPE OF YOUR TUMMY IS ROUND" IT MEANS YOU ARE HAVING A GIRL" So i confided in my mum, told her all i`m passing through, she advised me to ignore and pray more. Lo and behold i went for a Scan secretly just to put my mind at rest, It was Twins! (Boy and Girl). My instincts told me to tell only my Mum, i called her and explained the Sex of my babies and i want it to be a secret, she was very happy and told me to keep praying. 

MIL instantly picks on anything i do, all because she thinks i was having a Girl! we started preparing for delivery, Hubby want me to birth our Child in the U.S. MIL objected, that it`s only if she see evidence it was a Boy then she will Okay it. In my mind i was laughing, watching her to know her feelings on me, but Hubby still insist my baby will be delivered in the States. Visa, hospital and accommodation arrangements were made, and all was successful, MIL on her side insisted she will come before my mom.

( mom already had a valid visa from her previous Omugwo visit) but i objected because my tummy was getting Bigger and even to do chores sef was problem.

 I left to the States at my 3rd trimester, Spent the 1st 3 days with my sister in her House, as it was my 1st time in the States, my mom joined me a week later. we shopped big for baby items, made full preparations before the arrival of my babies. Hubby and MIL arrived 5 days to my E.D.D.  The 3 days sef with my MIL was war, she kept on suppressing my mom all because she felt she is richer than her, but my mom is the quiet type. 

MIL kept on insisting that she has more right over the new baby, she already share the chores, that her duty is only to bath the baby, while my mum bathes me, cook, clean and carry the baby. Hmm!! my mum will just Laugh behind her and always tell me not to worry she will know how easy she thinks it is to bath twins, with her long artificial nails oo. 

I went into labour 2days before my E.D.D. 

She was insisting she will follow us to the Hospital, I agreed to let Peace reign and to witness the surprise too. We got to the Hospital, serious Contraction upon contractions, until it was time to Push! 

The first angel dropped, it was a girl, according to my mom, MIL`s face changed suddenly, no sign of happiness, then my Boy dropped!!  she was shouting " OGINI BU IFEA OO!! KEDU IFE ANYAM NÀFU NU OO" She was very happy.

 Hubby was Shocked! 

MIL HUGGED MY Mum crying begging her to beg me for all the Torture, In me i was full of Joy watching my bundles of Joy blinking their eyes and crying. i was discharged 3 days later. We got to our apartment, living peacefully, Mil suddenly turned to an angel, she will cook, clean, bathe the Twins, bathe me, Infact made my Mum her bestie, they would gist, cook, Fart (lol) eat together pick grey hair on their hairs. 

They pampered  me silly, my Job was just to eat, feed the babies, sleep, and  gist with hubby. Mil fell in love with my daughter (lol), she carried her more, while my mom carried the Boy more.She spent only 1 month before we came back to Nigeria 3months later. Since then she has been very nice to me. 

I learnt to always apply WISDOM and IGNORE.

Interesting Omguwo..your babies must be so big now!
