VALERIE KIMANI WELCOMES 3RD CHILD EDEN ZAHARA

Musician Valerie Kimani welcomed her third child, a girl, Eden Zahara.

Taking to social media months after her arrival. Valerie said she has been enjoying motherhood. “I admit, I haven’t wanted to come out of my magical postpartum bubble at all… Not even to tell you of the beautifully complex story of how Will and I unexpectedly delivered our little baby Eden Zahara ourselves, in our home, on our bed! It’s a really good story. We haven’t found the time to sit down and process it together properly yet. If you’ve had a baby you know, the first month is a whirlwind.”

Adding, “I’ve been kissing her tiny feet. Smelling her baby breath. Willingly surrendering any part of me she wants to grasp in that surprisingly powerful tiny clenched fist of hers. I’ve been clipping tiny finger nails. Pulling out baby boogers which, for some reason, I find incredibly satisfying watching Zion and Zuri adore her. Feeling like I now have 10 million children.” 

She gave birth to her third born on March 23 with the help of her husband, “More than anything I’ve been sitting in my own success. Getting comfortable with what real success actually feels like. Applauding my heart for being vulnerable enough to say I wanted her. Applauding my mind for making the necessary physical, mental and emotional plans to prepare myself and my environment for her. Applauding my body for knowing exactly what she and I needed to do to bring her safely into this world on 3/23/23 straight into her father’s hands. It was mind-blowing. I tapped into a power I didn’t know I had. Also, who knew Will was low-key and an incredible midwife!

A testament to all the internal work we’ve done over these last few years. And to God’s incredible way of rewriting stories.  I’m amazed. I’m in awe. I’m a believer in love all over again. Every time my heart is afraid, He shows me again (and again) why He is God. So as my territory is expanding, I find I no longer have room for emotional dysfunction. I simply don’t. I didn’t realise this but I used to make lots of room for it. Both in and around me. I’d rationalise it, explain it, argue over it, justify it, try try try to be seen… work work work to be heard.“

She noted, “Now, I just don’t. The only thing I’m making room for now is that which fills my heart with joy so full I could burst. That which causes my mind to be as clear as still waters. That which ushers my body into deep rest.” Valerie welcomed her firstborn Zion with musician Eric Wainaina and her second born daughter Zuri with mzungu husband Will.
