February 14th was a special day for yummy mummy Amara Kanu, wife of legendary Nigerian footballer Kanu Nwankwo, whose first son Sean Kanu, turned a year older.

To celebrate Sean’s birthday, the 31-year-old author, fitness enthusiast & creative entrepreneur, and mother-of-three took to her Instagram to wish her son a happy birthday.

The joyful mom also went down memory lane as she shared her journey through motherhood, revealing how she felt when she had him as a teenager 13 years ago.

She did not know what she was doing, she wrote, but through faith and resilience, she was able to prevail.

Read her full post below…

”13 years ago today. I didn’t know what I was doing. How I was going to be a teenage mum amidst so many Internal and External critics. I was very career driven. How was I going to drop school and take care of my new Valentine baby ???????? ????????????????????????????????? But I had faith.

And an incredible amount of resilience that saw me through. I remember my mum telling me that what I had in my hands was greater. And then that’s when I looked down at his lovely head full of hair and let out a grateful sigh and this shot was taken. Picture Perfect.

Being a mother is one of the most highest paid jobs in the world since the payment is PURE LOVE. ???????????????? I’m glad I took the leap. Sean Boy. You rock my body.

Happy birthday @sean.kanu My Valentine. My love. My motivation.
