Alternative singer, Simi, in a recently-held interview, said her motherhood experience is unique, and she’s loving it.
Speaking with Pulse, the mother of one said she got baby fever at the time she keenly wanted to have a child, adding that if she has a chance to birth a child 200 times, she would not hesitate.
“I love being a mom. As soon as you know you want a child, you have baby fever when you see a cute baby. I said a few ‘I want ones’ … [laughs].
“I love being a mom to Deja because she lights up my entire existence and I genuinely look at her and my heart melts. I love staying up through the night and taking care of her and playing with her. I mean it also means I don’t have as much time for maybe music at this time, but who wouldn’t want to spend time with this bundle of joy? Just look at her,” she was quoted as saying.
Acknowledging that her motherhood experience is unique, she explained: “It can be crazy sometimes. Some women go through post-partum depression and that’s not funny. There are lots of hormonal changes involved in this process. Some women have even had to miss or quit their jobs. I’m just lucky enough that I’m my own boss, but there are mothers who are also models and their livelihood depends on how they look. There are lots of complexities.
“I imagine that there will be similarities to every experience of motherhood, but each experience is unique. For me, I tend to manage my time between creating and motherhood, but the latter is my world and I love it so much.
“You have days when you remember how your body used to be, but I always tell my husband that I will do this again – 200 times over for her. But then, it’s different for everybody.”
While she admitted that she doesn’t presently have enough time for her studio works due to the fact that she’s a nursing mother, Simi said she manages to find time in spite of the difficulties.
“It’s not easy o, my brother. It’s not easy at all. Oh men [laughs], I don’t have enough time to record because my baby is a mummy’s girl and that’s that upon that… But being a studio rat, I try to find some minutes [laughs],” she added.
Recall that Simi and her husband, Adekunle Gold, welcomed their first child on Saturday, May 30, 2020.
