Just in case you missed it, Janet Mbugua and hubby Eddie Ndichu held a traditional wedding for their son Huru over the weekend.

Having made major strides in his growth, it was time to make yet another one; it was now time he was officially introduced to his mothers and grandmothers age mates.

This ceremony in the Kikuyu community is called Itega and its primary purpose is to celebrate the birth of a child. It is an opportunity for the new mother and grandmother to introduce the baby to the community. The community in this case refers to the new mother’s age mates (rika), and more importantly the grand parent’s age mates and close friends.

The Itega allows the community to meet the baby and celebrate her. This occasion is marked by plenty of food, a slaughtered goat or sheep that is then barbecued, singing and dancing galore and plenty of ululating.

Itega is held when the baby is old enough to deal with new people holding him/her. This is usually from 6 months+ depending upon the preferences of the parents. Having this ceremony too early is not advisable because the baby is passed and bounced around in all the excitement of welcoming her into the family.

Janet Mbugua is actually late as Huru is now 16 months old.

Traditionally, an Itega was held by the womenfolk only, but currently men are encouraged to participate so that they can also be celebrated and congratulated for the accomplishment of adding to the community and that’s why Eddie was also present at the event.

Check out some photos of the event:

An independent woman with the looks of a nubile Nubian queen, who can cook, be a mother to your kids and well, be supportive and clearly that’s what Eddie Ndichu got in Janet Mbugua.

Eddie Ndichu reveals how helpless he felt seeing Janet Mbugua in Labour

Janet Mbugua welcomed her son in 2015, October 26th and this was the most emotional day for her husband who had been standing with her throughout the pregnancy journey.

In a post shared by Eddie Ndichu on his wife’s blog we have every reason to believe that Janet Mbugua had a caesarean section and not vaginal birth. Not surprising at all as there is an increasing numbers of women today who appear to prefer delivering by caesarean section as it is quick in comparison to most labours.

Anyway, Eddie Ndichu opened up about how scared he was to watch his small wife in labour as she lay on a theatre bed waiting to deliver their baby.

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.

Eddie Ndichu went further to how worried he was about their unborn son. He kept questioning whether his son was healthy despite all the prenatal visits to their doctor.

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 TO 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!!!,”

He continued.

Since this was their first child, the couple now understands the journey better and will hopefully apply the knowledge they have when planning for their second child.

“Is he going to be of sound mind?” Janet Mbugua’s husband reveals the biggest fear he had about their newborn son

Ethan Huru Ndichu was born on October 26^th 2015. Janet Mbugua’s husband, Eddie Ndichu, has decided to talk about the fear that engulfed him that day his son was born.

Mr. Nidichu revealed that he was shaking with fear when doctors escorted him to the operating theater where his wife was to deliver.

“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,” Eddie Ndichu wrote in part.

Baba Ethan says that several things crossed his mind as he was waiting to see his son; top being physical development of the baby.

“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….”

Eddie’s fears evaporated when he finally got time to examine Baby Ethan, he didn’t have any deformities.

“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.”
