Well, my mom did an impressive job hiding the fact that she was pregnant (it's a cultural thing), but when she finally popped, it was quite a celebration.
It's traditional to have a baptism and naming ceremony one week after the child is born. Her name is Mame Siga Mboup, named after her older mom (the 1st wife). Unfortunately, I was off in Dakar working during the party, so please allow me a moment to send my blessing:
- Alhamdulillahi (praise to Allah) that our new girl is healthy and strong
- Praise Allah for her great name and namesake
- And Alhamdulillahi that my dad, despite his age, is still firing strong. Way to go dad!
