Being Wanjiru Ndung'u

My name is Mercy Wanjiru. I  am29 years old. I am a fiancee to a lovely man, a mother to one year old boy, a sister to 6 siblings, a daughter to 2 lovely parents, an employer to my nanny.  I currently live in Nairobi Kenya,  currently working as an accountant. I am a semi skilled video editor and a semi skilled baker too. I also enjoy having deep conversations with people and an avenue where I listen and try to share my perspectives of situation- This I seem to enjoy and I get information from social media most times to refer to.   I work from 7.30 am to 5.30 p.m for my full time job. I have enough time to rest at home since I arrive latest at 6.30 p.m and leave at 7 a.m. I am looking for a side huste to do, and I am currently in a blurred moment. I have been reading that things take time, I am feeling I have no time. With the current fast financial changes in the country, I am not able to keep up financially, I am loosing too much. I understand life is not equa...

  Honey Pot,  Well, I still remember the first time I saw you on Coppa streets, we were in first year, you were in a light blue T-shirt and a black cap (definitely not yours) . I would lie to say I liked you at that time or fell in love..you know like the movies. But I noted you because apparently you were a nursery school sex explorer with my friend at that time. I liked that you knew these things kitambo..hehehe. So every time I could see you in the mess or anywhere else, I would just smile on the inside. Then as fate would have it, I finally talked to you when I was leaving the chinese class. Would I say I stopped pursuing Chinese to pursue you? And you know I would probably be in China at the moment. Anywho, after we started our thing, (ati no dating it's just sex )my highlight was the trip you took me to Karindundu and rocked my pussy with your tongue. That was my first time with the lips and I loved every bit of it. It was my first time cumming properly. Kweli the lesson...

Week 1-3  - No symptoms at all Week 4 - Felt dizzy, very tender breasts and felt pain when removing my bra. I was far off the ovulation. I tested. It was positive. I got very excited.  Week 5 - No lots of symptoms felt, just excitement. Week 6 - Nausea started and a lot of burping. Was always bloated. Farting every now and then. Constipated, but went to the loo once a day. Week 7- Nausea and burping were a bit moderate. Was resting well at home. Ate healthy too. Craved sweet potatoes. Slept alot. Not able to take waterBad taste in my mouth Week 8- Came back to Nairobi. Started diarrhoes. Craved fries. Bloating and farting too much. Took some tabs which made me more sickly and drowsy. Halted them. Slept alot. Not able to take water. Bad taste in my mouth- Hubby started cooking- Very grateful for him Week 9 - Always short of breath even after talking for less than a minute. Was sensitive to all kinds of smells. Hated all kinds of meat. Couldnt take in the smell of onions . My cl...

 I will not start as a cliche that it was love at first sight. No no no. That is all on the movies.  This is a celebration of love that has gone through fire, storms, hurricanes and has still stood strong. Actually, I would say the breaking forces make it stornger.  Just recently another member of love was added. It has been a bliss. Way better than I imagined it would be. What I would really say is, just show people love, show more kindness, show more grace. Life always gets easier. The phot below paints the perfect picture of our family, sailing through the laughter, the agreements, the disagreements. I am proud of it. And I pray to God for it to be always like this and better in it. Story by: Wanjiru Ndung'u
