I Love My Babies

My Youngest two children are Lizzie and Jude, Jude is my biological child who is 17 months old. Lizzie is 19 months old.

Lizzie is Grace and Namuya's little sister. Their mum (mama Namuya) is an alchoholic, drug addict and a street lady. A few years before Lizzie was born her mum had a baby and through her depression and achoholism Nakiru was neglected and abused. Lizzie's mum would leave Nakiru in her one roomed house locked up the whole day untill her mum would come home drunk and beat her. Nakiru was starved and mistreated until she was hospitilized and died of bronchial pnemonia. I was in a horrible situation at that time and due to many circumstances was unable to save Nakiru. It was one of the worse situations of my life and broke me so much that I vowed I would never let it happen again. Lizzie's mum never meant to have a baby she never meant to hurt Nakiru but a lady who was unable to care for herself couldn't care for others.

Up to the birth of lizzie I was still in confusion what I would do with her, being pregnant myself I didn't know if I could care for two. I went to the labour and helped Mama Namuya give birth. It was an eventful birth where you can read an account of it in my friends blog African Diaries. From the birth onwards I have cared for lizzie and have taken her on as my own. So it has been like having twins.

Lizzie is a very busy little lady who loves singing, she is very motherly always helping her other little friends, giving hugs and kisses to everyone. She has a very sweet character and a lovely sense of humour.

Jude is also a very sweet natured boy, he loves playing with balls and his sit along car, he is very gentle, happy and friendly. His language is excellent where he can speak all sorts of words. The sweetest thing is thank you, he will say thank you everytime he is given something even in the middle of the night when you give him a drink he will still say thank you.

Jude and Lizzie really love each other, its sweet to see when ever one them has been away they always greet each other with a hug and a kiss.

I love my babies and cherish every moment I have with them, I know they grow so fast and I try to spend every minute I can with them making sure I make the most of them.
