Mom Crush Monday's: Millen Magese Welcomes Baby Boy!
We serve a greater God! In all you do never forget to thank the man above.
It's MOM CRUSH MONDAY's & i'm crushing on the beautiful Millen Magese.
After years of battling endometriosis, renowned Tanzanian model Millen Magese has welcomed a baby boy named Kairo via in-vitro fertilization. Millen's battle with the chronic illness has been documented throughout her Instagram account as she raises awareness for the disease which affects millions of women worldwide.
Fumni, Millen's best friend of 13 years and godmother of her son took to Instagram detailing the journey of Millen trying to conceive, receiving the exciting news that yes, she was indeed expecting her first child to planning a baby shower and from the bottom of my heart reading the journey will undoubtedly make your faith stronger....and you will shed a few tears.
Millen received the news that she was indeed pregnant back in October and according to Fumni (Kairo's godmother), the twosome screamed and cried for two hours and from then it was the countdown until little Kairo entered the world. From the 1st ultrasound to finding out the gender of the lady, Fumni hasn't left Millen's side. BTW, don't we all need a sister-friend like Fumni?
With thousands of congratulatory messages from all over the world, I too want to not only congratulate Millen Magese on the birth of Kairo but to also thank her for being a voice and for shedding light on an illness that i'm sure many are unaware of.
For those who don't know what endometriosis is, PLEASE read below. I pray we find a cure for it. I pray for every woman who has been diagnosed with it, that they never lose their faith.
What is endometriosis? via http://www.endometriosisassn.org
Endometriosis is a painful, chronic disease that affects at least 6.3 million women and girls in the U.S., 1 million in Canada, and millions more worldwide. It occurs when tissue like that which lines the uterus (tissue called the endometrium) is found outside the uterus -- usually in the abdomen on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments that support the uterus; the area between the vagina and rectum; the outer surface of the uterus; and the lining of the pelvic cavity.
This misplaced tissue develops into growths or lesions which respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way that the tissue of the uterine lining does: each month the tissue builds up, breaks down, and sheds. Menstrual blood flows from the uterus and out of the body through the vagina, but the blood and tissue shed from endometrial growths has no way of leaving the body. This results in internal bleeding, breakdown of the blood and tissue from the lesions, and inflammation -- and can cause pain, infertility, scar tissue formation, adhesions, and bowel problems.
