Thanks for coming back to this space. hehehe… In no particular order I’ll be sharing whats been going on in the last year or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters… in the last few weeks, our family has grown. Yeah… that’s right. God definitely saw my heart on this one because around the time I brought up the topic (with hubs) about when we would CONSIDER Baby #2 (I was considering 2019), God was already laughing at me like… HA! YOU KNOW NOTHING!! I was worse than Jon Snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the way God was smiling when we were talking about MAYBE dropping another album (baby)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the 2018 Christmas holiday, I began suspecting something was up and on New Year’s eve I took a test. Three minutes later, I knew. I laughed and of course freaked out 10secs later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m ready, I’m NOT READY, NO MORE Sushi, How will we do this? No more Co-sleeping with Bubs!! ” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of course I was being dramatic but within moments, I calmed down and remembered, after all, God will not give me what I cannot handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how I knew, talking about how I told Hubs is a whole other story… The [E]XTRA in my blog name is not there for aesthetics. Trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Now here we are… Our pregnancy was pretty relaxed. Not a lot of fuss and hoopla. No shower\/Sprinkle or Gender reveal party. I was tired and wanted to rest. So I did that but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was important for me to document the journey in a way that I could look back on how beautiful pregnancy was and not the heartburn or sleepless nights. There was no better way to celebrate than with a photo shoot. Even when my bump was just starting to show, I already had a vision of what I wanted the pictures to be. I knew my hair, outfits and even my photographer. I (without shame) begged him to come out of retirement for day because I am a sucker for sentiments of course and he knows why it had to be him. HAHA (Thank you again, Femi). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first look, my dress was made by Leah-Victoriah<\/a> who also has a skill in delivering on my visions. Just like when I went wedding dress shopping, I already knew what I wanted but was still deceiving myself trying to look at other options. Jokes… I finally RE-SENT her the inspiration picture and said THIS-This is it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANYWAY!!!! Enjoy some of the shots from our first look and I’ll be posting the second look and baby reveal later on the blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Ace… has my back. Thanks for indulging me through out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are following me on Instagram. <\/a>You just might see the baby before I post ’em on here. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say if you made it to the end of this post… you are a real one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loads of love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
