By Eddie Ndichu
It has been over 14 months but I remember the day vividly. I was escorted to the doctors changing rooms to wear pair of scrubs. I was shaking with nerves. I couldn’t feel my entire body as I changed. The thoughts going through my head were that this is really happening and that my wife is on a table all by herself. I should rush. Is there something I could have done to prepare for this moment?
I make it into the theatre and find her small body lay on the table all covered in surgical cloth. She smiles and I see she is awake and nervous. She says, “I can’t feel anything”. So I hold her hand and kiss her forehead gently. I said to her, “This is really happening”. Our charming Doctor narrates, “Not far to go… any minute now”, as his team operates on my wife. By this time I am sweating. All I could hope is that he is going to be in one piece. Two eyes, two ears, ten fingers and toes. Is he going to be of sound mind? Have all his body parts developed completely? Will he breathe, will he cry? Then in a matter of seconds the doctor literally flings him in the air and says ‘Here he is’! This tiny little body hanging in the air covered in mucus. I barely got a glimpse of his face before they sent him have his cord cut. I see tears on my wife’s face as she lays helplessly. I could see how badly she wanted to hold him. I clench her hand even tighter and console her.
He was whisked away for normal checks and a wipe down. The doctor allows me to go around and watch the nurse and him. In my excitement I go around the from where my dear wife is cut open…. That’s for another blog!!!
I get there and now fully see his features. His little limbs, toes fingers ears and eyes, all there! His hair, oh my so much hair, thats definitely not from me! He is so pale and light and can’t quite make out who he looks like. Then a sound comes out. I am excited. I am now a father, I could even explain the feeling. It was an overwhelming sense of responsibility mixed with a strong sense of accomplishment and joy. The nurse quickly wraps him and hands him over to me to take to my wife. I couldn’t help feel like I was going to drop him. I finally make it to her. She could barely hold him so I move him close to her face. She touches him and rubs him on her face. Her eyes filled with tears.
The doctor asks me to now reel him out of the theatre with the nurse to the nursery as he finishes up with my wife. The nurse proceeds to give me directions and says she is right behind me. I can’t believe it. She is just going to leave me with newborn Baby Ethan Huru Ndichu! What do I do with him? I gather courage and roll out. Gently. Scared. I can’t take my eyes off him.
The following months to this day have never been the same. The sense of fatherhood really hit home the day we left the hospital. No nurses, no doctors, just him, my wife and I. I brought the car around to take them home. We got to the hospital only two of us and now we go back with an extra human being. We got home and the nerves kicked in. Do we feed him, wash him or breastfeed him?
The following weeks the routines checked in. The sleepless nights when my wife had to rest so I had to take over. Learning to sleep on a two hour cycle. Feeding him milk numerous times throughout the day and night. The living room couch was my spot with Ethan, so we let mum sleep.
How do I make sure I raise my son to be the best person he can be?
The journey continues…

A very beautiful blog from a father. Our greatest challenge as parents, will we be a reflection of our parents character which is already very good though highly influenced by traditional habits or will we be better parents to our children.
Janet Mbugua
January 5, 2017 at 9:49 am
Well said Joyce. That’s why we have to try be the best versions of ourselves, so that our children can emulate us best as they can. Thank you so much for your feedback! Bless ☺

Being a parent is the best thing that can happen to anyone. A few months ago We (I and my wife) were blessed with a baby boy.. I remember the first time I saw Him I was full of joy…I literally wanted to shout out loud with Joy, while I went out to get some supplies for my wife and boy the first person I met was my mother in law…and I proudly said..I’ve seen my boyyy!!!!…unfortunately Aaron only lived for 10 days (thats for another day). I appreciate the 10 days that I was a Father and looking forward to another opportunity to become one in the future.
Janet Mbugua
January 5, 2017 at 10:01 am
Oh Isaya, thank you for sharing your story about your little angel. My heart goes out to you and your wife. That you have found the time to comment having been through such a trying ordeal shows me you have strength beyond what you think. Thank you and may you heal. Much love to your wife ❤❤❤

This is encouraging and honestly as a teenager it’s good for us to hear the posive side of the story sometimes.
Just the other day my sisters were scaring the sh*t out of me narrating the ‘horror’of giving birth…and for a minute thea i wasn’t sure it’s a path il ever be ready for… But reading this, it just shows it’s worthy it. So am optimistic about the future as a mum one day.
Janet Mbugua
January 5, 2017 at 11:50 am
? Judith I think your sister is jut being honest about it all. Kudos to her! Giving birth, whether naturally or via CS is certainly a process but it shouldn’t scare you! When the time comes, of that’s the journey you’re hoping for, you’ll find the courage and strength. Thanks again!

One word, awesome. Baba Huru has spoken on behalf of many fathers, my husband included.
I have followed your blogs from the word go. (I have been walking a similar journey). Your blogs have been very informative and a source of encouragement. Almost a year later I still remember what you said about; signing admission papers before hand, what to pack and carry to the hospital, formula feeding, experience with nannies…. You’ve been like a big sister to me?.
Seeing your photos with extended family (socialising baby Huru) is always spot on. You have a support group around you which I believe is also an accountability circle??
Keep doing what you do. You may never get an award for it but you touch soo many lives. Very influential, a good role model for girls, young adults & young mothers.??
May God bless your family, your marriage and your son.
Janet Mbugua
January 5, 2017 at 1:41 pm
Elizabeth your comment has moved me deeply, thank you! I appreciate you following me from day 1. I’m sure you know it isn’t the easiest of journeys but like you said, with the right support group and frame of mind, you take those baby steps to being the best parent you can be to your little one. May God bless you and your family so very much. Thank you and I hope you’ll continue to follow my posts! Bless ????❤❤

Children are a gift ,an amazing blessing from God. May baby Huru grow in favour and wisdom.May good health be his portion. Janet you’re an amazing lady and May the Good Lord truly make His face shine upon you and your family.Husbands are supposed to be leaders in their homes.Kudos to Mr.Ndichu for been a good example of a good leader and a great Daddy. My wish for your family is Psalms 20. Showers of blessings

I don’t know what it is but the narration by Mr. Ndichu, though short, is surreal. I can see the pride and joy of being a father in his words. All the best to your lovely family.

So surreal. When I left hospital with my new born, I almost told them to keep me a little longer. What would be my next step? But I THANK GOD. My hubs is so supportive. Do you believe he washed her daily form day 1 to 8 months? And lots more. Thank God for the support that is Baba Huru

Janet great one especially on the teachability….. I love it ‘hongera’ despite that young ladies like me still need you in our lives for more motivation like seriously Janet I have been having a great idea but don’t know where to start from and who to ask for help but East or west… Turning to you having hopes you will be of great help….. Don’t turn me down please…… Thanks once again and may God bless you always together with your family!!!!! Mentor indeed I mean it!!!!!!!
