Our Boy Mumuni

Where Have I Been?

Honestly, I had forgotten that I even have a blog. But lately, I’ve found myself with so many thoughts and questions that I couldn’t keep inside. I was constantly in my head until I remembered: ahh, I have a blog where I can pour out my thoughts and write about the things that bug me.

A Quick Life Update

So much has happened in just a short time! Here’s a glimpse of my journey so far:

1. I graduated.

2. Left Algeria.

3. Came back to Zambia.

4. Got my first job (then quit my job).

5. Married the love of my life.

6. Became a lecturer at one of Zambia’s top universities.

7. And now… I’m PREGNANT!

When I look back, it feels overwhelming yet beautiful. This post is simply a little record of my life right now.

Waiting for Baby

I’m anxiously waiting for my baby. Each day feels longer, and it’s getting harder as the due date draws closer. I am excited—but at the same time I can’t help but wonder: Will I be the mother he needs?

As much as I don’t want to admit it, my career is also on my mind. Motherhood feels like uncharted waters, and I don’t want to make mistakes. I feel like I can’t afford to. The one thing keeping me grounded is the presence of my partner—so loving, supportive, and truly present in this moment.

Wrestling With Anxiety

My anxiety often comes from not knowing what life will look like once our boy is here. I don’t have it all figured out, but I keep praying to the Lord to help me be still and know He is God.

It isn’t easy, honestly. But maybe this is where faith becomes real—trusting even when I can’t see what’s ahead.

The Pregnancy Journey

So far, my pregnancy has been smooth. Things only became intense at week 37: the heat, the heaviness, the sleepless nights. Through it all, I keep reminding myself—I just want to be a good mummy.

Yesterday, while reading and learning more about pregnancy, I came across a line that really touched me:

Whenever I feel the baby move, I should remember that that’s how alive God’s promises are too.

That truth warmed my heart. Every kick and movement makes me smile and melt inside. But when there’s silence, I can’t help but worry if my baby is okay. It’s complicated, but also so beautiful.

Dear Son, We Can’t Wait

Often I catch myself daydreaming: What will he look like? His eyes? His hair? The excitement is overwhelming. I can't wait for your tiny hand to wrap my finger.

Mummy can’t wait any longer, dear boy. Papa is eagerly waiting too. He keeps rubbing my belly to get you moving and boy,! You kick and move when daddy rubs you lol. I always want to tell him to stop after sometime but his smile and excitement all the time you respond to him is too adorable for me to stop. I want you to be best buddies. We’ve even relocated to stay with your grandma as we wait for you. You are our biggest blessing.

We pray for you every day—that you will grow into God’s friend. We may not give you everything, but we promise to do our very best. And though your siblings (one day) may be more privileged than you, may you never feel unloved or less important. You are our firstborn, our guide, and because of you, we will learn how to be better parents. We will love you with all we have and give you the best home because you are God's gift to us. 

You will always be our boy.

Mummy and Daddy love you  Micah Mumuni.
