The media personality said she never thought she would feel this kind of love, expressing gratitude to her Maker for the three months of grace.
“Yaya is 3 months old today.
I literally closed my eyes and opened it, and she’s already tracking and following with her eyes, cooing and has the most adorable smile. She laughs out loud at bath time, too.
Never thought I’d ever feel this kind of love,
Thank you, Lord, for 3 months of grace,
Your love, your abundance and your mercy.
She has her own Instagram page now run by me, Of course @yakira_eliana”.
It is no longer news that in August the former OAP had welcomed her first child, a baby girl, named Yakira Eliana at 40.
On Sunday, November 2nd, the media personality dedicated Yaya, to God. The event had lots of public figures in attendance. The likes of billionaire wife Shade Okoya, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and wife, Mercy Eke, Ruth Kadiri, Mercy Aigbe, Eniola Badmus, Uche Montana, Brodashaggi, and more were at the event.
On her TikTok page, the proud mother shared a clip from the dedication, declaring it a day she’ll cherish forever.
In a note to her newborn, Toke noted how her daughter had changed her status and healed the broken heart she had carried since she was 8. Toke said she was already drowning in her big ol’ eyes and learning so much of her.
On her podcast, the former OAP broke down in tears as she reflected on her trials, revealing that she prayed to God that she wanted to turn 40 being a mum. She said that God answered her prayers as she got pregnant the next month after her 40th birthday.
