She said, “Good morning, I'm napping right now. What's stuck? Nap-trapped is when they take a nap and if you move they start to cry. I know crying is necessary, but I don't like crying.
'So I thought I would take this opportunity to thank everyone for the messages. It's been a journey, but all the wishes, messages and gifts are greatly appreciated.
'I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Mine was filled with family and friends and I'm still over it, it was just beautiful and I hope yours was too.'
It comes after Oti celebrated Christmas with her surprise new arrival, sharing some photos as she became a mother for the first time.
Oti looked radiant as she posed with her daughter, whose name is yet to be announced, at the dining table with the rest of her family.
The doting mother posed with Marius in matching rompers for their second family photo together.
Oti, who announced the arrival on Christmas Day, looked happier than ever as she enjoyed the day with her whole family.
Oti's sister Motsi, 42, shared a selfie of the pair beaming, alongside a sweet caption praising the new mum.

It read: 'No one teaches you how to be an older sister and even though my sister is a mother, the instinct to help, protect and be there doesn't stop.
'I want to protect her from everything, but I know I can't. Sometimes I wish I wasn't the first born because I think you inherit the responsibility.
“So proud of your sister, you're going to be a tough mom.”
Motsi also accidentally revealed the toddler's gender after posting a tribute to Oti and Marius on Instagram.
She wrote: 'Merry Christmas. I wish you all wonderful holidays and special memories with loved ones.'

Saying, 'Merry Christmas, call us Aunt and Uncle!! Welcome to the family, baby girl @otimabuse & @mariusiepure, welcome to parenthood, lol, it's going to be fun'.
