On the 2nd of May 2011, I became a Father.
Her
name is Mbaitat Adam Mashem.
She arrived at 8:35pm on 2nd of May 2011.
She was/is one big baby weighing 3.8kg @birth.
"Mbaitat" is the nearest word we could find
to "Mighty" in my dialect. Whenever we call her name,
our God will be reminded of His "All mighty-ness"
and the mighty things He will do in and through her.
Her nickname is "Cinderella" or "Ella" because of a
recent Steven Curtis Chapman song her Mom and
I loved listening to during the pregnancy. (The song
was a reminder to enjoy your daughter while she was
still with you because marriage will soon take her away.)
We are expecting other names from her Grand Dad, Grand Uncles and others.
Physically, she took after my sweet wifey. The
nose,
lips and cheeks are all Sussan. I still hope is that her
eyes and forehead will be like mine. I also expect her to
love sleeping and have a charming personality like her Father.
For all those who have prayed for us, thank you.
For all my friends who are expecting their own babies, I say, "God Almighty is able".
