  • EP 41: Baby Akinyemi Part 2: Five Weeks In

    When we first met Tom (Nigerian) and Kalpa(Indian) in episode 28, they were heavily pregnant and anxious to bring in their little boy into the world. In this episode, I catch up with them five weeks after his birth to see how they are settling in to the role of parents.


    Gone are their anxieties of how he would fit into the world. All they are looking forward to now is simple things like him holding his neck up by himself.
