NGOZI OGUGUAH DELIVERS HER MIRACLE BABY

"Girls are good too but I did not pray to God for a girl rather, I prayed for a healthy child. I am not particular about gender when looking for a baby. I have always been a genderless person. All I wanted was a healthy child 

".

After 11 years of waiting for more, Emmanuel and Ngozi Oguguah welcome their miracle baby, Doshinnechukwu Delbert Oguguah.  Delbert arrived on the 8th of November, 2011, he weighed 4.2kg at birth. His birth just added one more son to Oguguah's family. His birth is what you will term a miracle baby being that he is coming 11 years after the birth of the Oguguah twins.  Emmanuel Oguguah is the Vice Chairman Board of Trustees, Actors' Guild of Nigeria. Nollywood Director/Producer while his wife Ngozi is a research Scientist with the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Ngozi is one strong working mom, who is doing a good job at juggling work and family. And Emmanuel a very supportive husband. Working moms Mary Ikoku had a chat recently with this super mom of 3 sons, Ngozi and below is our chat;
Mary: Good morning Ngozi, Congratulations on the birth of your baby
Ngoz: Thank you Mary and God bless you indeed for always looking in to know how I am doing.
Mary: My pleasure NG but today's call is a bit different.  I will like to have a little chat with you about your latest addition. How do you feel about your new addition?
Ngozi: I am more than happy, and I have not stopped thanking God for the gift of a new baby. My twins were born eleven years ago and ever since, I have prayed to God for more, and today, God blessed me with a healthy baby boy. I am happy, I am proud and I am grateful to God.
Mary: Would you have preferred a girl this time?
Ngozi: Girls are good too but I did not pray to God for a girl rather, I prayed for a healthy child. I am not particular about gender when looking for a baby. I have always been a genderless person. All I wanted was a healthy child. Also, I come from a family background where gender is not an issue. Boy or girl does not make any difference, all I have to do is bring them up well enough. The basic thing is good upbringing. Don't forget that I am not 20 years, by next year, I will be celebrating my 40th birthday.  For someone like me, gender is the least thing on my mind at the time of pregnancy. My health and that of my child was more important to me.
Mary: How was it pushing at almost age 40?
Ngozi: Traumatic I must say. So many health issues. I think the long gap between this baby and my twin plus my age, all added to it but I am grateful to God for everything. At the end of it all, I am with my baby, he is a healthy child and I am healthy too, Please what more can I ask for? Whether boy or girl the most important  thing is good upbringing  of the children, Boy/girl is immaterial.

Mary: How did you cope juggling the pregnancy, your work, taking care of the twins and your family.
Ngozi: My husband was extremely supportive. He bridged the gap. Things I couldn't do , he would do for me. And then, my boss at work, was very supportive too. Any time I was ill, he will often ask me to take the day off. My colleagues at work were also there for me, my children, my domestic help, in short everybody was helpful in one way or another. i cant forget members of the moms group, especially the BB Group. The Working moms on BB, really helped to keep me going. The tips, we share online, the BB chat, the food samples they post on the chat, their jokes, they all helped me. Even on the day of my labour, I had my Blackberry phone on me, I was constantly in touch with other moms on BB, in fact they helped me through labour,  I still  remember  the baby shower that was organized for me by the moms, the food, the gifts and all the love shown me. I can only say a big thank you to you all.
Mary: Any word for moms like you who are waiting for more and moms who are juggling work and family and will need to go back to work after having a baby?
Ngozi: Moms in waiting, just have it at the back of your mind that with God all things are possible. Do your part and allow God do the rest. And to moms who are working and will be going back to work after having a baby; My advice is they should go back happily without guilt, just make sure you use all the support that are at your disposal. We all need each other to survive.. You can never to it all alone.
Mary: Thank You so much Ngozi for your time. Enjoy the rest of your day and kisses to our baby Doshinnechukwu.
Ngozi: You are always welcome Mary, It is always nice talking with you. Bye.
