There is an ongoing story about a woman who woke up suddenly to find out she was feeling some pain in her body, and upon getting to the hospital for checkups, she was told she had cancer, which had grown to a very high stage, I mean almost uncontrollable.

There is this painful blister, sometimes swollen I have seen on the hands of some people around me and most often, people characterize it to be an effect of excessive washing of clothes with the hand, or simply put, excessively dipping the hands into water.

I am a person who believes in doing things according to plan, before I go to bed at night, I draw up my activities for the day carefully mapping out when I should be done with each of them and with every extra minute spent on each one, it translates to extra minutes of staying awake. This act has helped me over the years to keep up with all my activities and get things done consistently.

Different stages of growth in a child can be very exciting and interesting, especially for a first-time Mum. Aside from hearing different stories about kids going through similar experiences, you are getting to experience it first-hand, and it's such a pleasure to watch your cute baby grow.
