    Drea has handled these three months so we'll, I believe Maïa's birth was just Maïa's birth, it was the birth of a new Drea❤...also big ups to Lils, we all need such a character in our lives. Also Dad is the absolute standard of not just what women need, but also what women deserve👏. As I always say, may God bless this little but lovely family🙏, much, much love❤❤❤

      Both my parents were absent. But it terms of my mother, I’ve found that a lot my friendships not just with Lillian - most of my girlies have mothering and nurturing characteristics. I will say having an absent mother made me fantasise a lot in childhood; thinking of the mother I wish I had while I was young and now I find I get to be the mother I wish I had for Maïa but also the mother Maïa needs. ❤

    Hi Annie drea i had posted this on your community tab but i'll post it here in case you might hvae not seen it. I hope what I says comes out nice and not in a rude way please be careful posting you child on the internet nowadays. Honestly I would say it would be much better to blur her face and keep that privacy to your closed one family and friends. the internet is a dangerous place. Yes your supporters may ask to see your bundle of joy but not every voice of will come from a place of true intentions. Once a picture is out in the internet anyone has a choice to use it.
    I say this because my sister in law had posted a picture of her a child on Facebook and someone decided to create an AI face of the child.
