Osas started noticing her baby bump in March, one morning she tried on a dress and the zipper wouldn't close , she turned to look herself in the mirror and there was a visible baby bump showing .
This is a little scary for her coz when she was pregnant with Ivie she didn't start showing until she was 5months and she had lost so much weight so it just looked like she was suffering from an ailment
This time around she had added more weight and at the rate she was going she was going just 13weeks into the pregnancy she would soon be as big as a house
That morning osas called her mom to lay her concerns, they literally experienced Ivie's pregnancy together so doing it alone is a bit worrisome for osas but her mother is not exactly thrilled about her second child out of wedlock so she's trying not to push her luck
But osas is Wema's only child and her best options at having grandchildren so she was inclined to support her daughter eventually
"Iye! Good morning ma"
"Osasere! How you dey? How my pikin.."
"Which of them" osas teased
"The two of them, infact all of them"
"We dey o, all of us dey.... Maale you no go believe say my belle don dey show"
"Your belle don shoot out"
"I swear o, pikin Wey just reach 13weeks"

"3months still early but if e no gree you, change your stool coz e be like say this one go quick hook you. If you no fit cope just call me make I enter bus come Lagos" osas smiled her mother is the best
