Award winning Nigerian news blogger, writer, entrepreneur and former model, Linda Ikeji has added a new year today, September 19 2018.
The celebrity blogger who recently gave birth to her first son, turns 38 years old today and has taken to her official Instagram handle to express how grateful she is to God, for the opportunity to now be called a mum.
She revealed that on her last birthday, she had asked God to make her a wife and a mother before her next birthday. And as it turns out, she became a mother for the first time, just 2 days to her 38th birth anniversary. However, the ‘wife’ status is still concealed for now as Linda Ikeji is quoted to have said:
“We will talk about the wife one later…??…”
See her full post below:
“Happy birthday to me. Yay! Today September 19th, I turn 38 and I can say without any doubt that 2018 has been the best year of my life so far! I became a mum. ???. Something that I always wanted and wondered when it will happen for me.

On my 37th birthday last year, I went down on my knees and told God, you’ve blessed me beyond what I thought was possible but there’s something I want more than anything else; to be a wife and a mum before my next birthday. We will talk about the wife one later…??…but the one that was more important, the one my heart desired the most, he gave to me. My own child. Two days before my next birthday. Dear Lord in heaven, thank you. I don’t know what I did, or what I keep doing to make you continually bless me and answer all my prayers.

Above pic shows me trying to catch a glimpse of my son seconds after he was born and placed in my arms. It took me the whole of two minutes to push him out. I recorded it and I’ve watched the video over and over again in wonder. I thought I would be in the labour room for hours especially because of my age and how people say the older you get, the harder it is to give birth but my son was placed in my arms exactly 2mins 19secs after I began to push. .

I saw many comments on here of people praying I deliver like the Hebrew women and your prayers were answered. My delivery went so well. I can’t wait to go through this journey of pregnancy and child birth again. By far the most amazing experience of my life. And the guys at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta are the best. . I’ll recommend them.”
