Popular Nigerian food blogger Yemisi Sophie Odusanya, better known as Sisi Yemmie, has joyfully announced the birth of her twins, bringing her family to a total of five children. The beloved content creator shared her remarkable journey in a heartfelt YouTube video, revealing the surprises and adjustments that came with this unexpected blessing.
Sisi Yemmie, who had not planned to have more children, recounted her shock upon discovering she was pregnant with twins. “When I think about the fact that I’m now a mom of five, it’s so shocking to me. If you told Yemisi of two years ago that she was going to have more babies, I would have said you were a liar,” she said.
Reflecting on her disbelief, she shared how the news affected her presence on social media. “Sometimes when a thing like this happens to you, it can cause you to retreat, and I think that was what happened to me. I just could not function like normal because I was in a different headspace,” she admitted.
Despite undergoing regular scans, Sisi Yemmie found it hard to fully grasp the reality of expecting twins until their birth. “I didn’t think they were real until I saw them, even as I was doing scans and they were saying ‘They’re two inside.’ It was hard to comprehend,” she explained.
Now adjusting to life as a mother of five, Sisi Yemmie described the significant transition for her family. “It’s been a journey trying to adjust the family. We are a family of seven now. That’s a lot. When I go out, some people are so confused. They are like ‘Whose babies are these?’ A lot of my friends and even family members didn’t know that I was pregnant. That was how much keeping it to myself that I did,” she shared.
Sisi Yemmie’s announcement has been met with an outpouring of joy and congratulations from her followers and the online community, who celebrate her new role as “Iya Ibeji,” the Yoruba term for “mother of twins.” This heartwarming news marks a new chapter in her life, filled with love, surprises, and the joy of an expanded family.
