What to say...what to write. It's been an eventful week for sure, but nothing too exciting. I did have one beautiful birth this week. The clinic has been a somewhat quieter this week, which I've actually been thankful for as I've been fighting a bad cold... ugh! But when it gets so quiet for a period of time, we have to wonder when we're going to get slammed on with patients! :)
Today- Sunday, I've been enjoying a quiet day at the dorm here, catching up with e-mails etc. It's been pretty sweet! :) I'm heading off to Church in a few minutes here, and then it's night shift tonight.
Mrs Frayle, a very amazing and wonderful lady from my church sent me back with a bunch of baby sleepers- So thoughtful of her! I promised I'd send some pictures of at least one baby wearing one of the sleepers... So these pictures are especially for her! Thank you again Mrs. Frayle. My patient was super pleased with it! And the lola (grandmother) kept saying how gwapo (handsome) her little grandson looked in his new outfit. They had only had a little shirt, hat, and a blanket, so it was perfect!
Such precious little bundles- so new so fresh! Feeling so honored to be one of the first people to welcome these little lives into this world
The whole family with big smiles :)
Me:"can you kiss him?"
Big bro "I don't know about this...but I guess I'll listen to the strange white girl"

Oh so cute... he's going to be a good kuya "big brother" :)

hey Sarah,
Wat een mooie baby en een happy family!
Het is zeker een voorrecht om zo een brand-new baby als eerste persoon te mogen koesteren.
Nog eens wat een prachtig beroep heb jij gekozen!!
Liefs,
Lisette

Such a beautiful series of photos - I love your writing! Thanks for doing such a beautiful job describing your world to us living "normal" lives in North America. Those sleeper pics make me want to go find a baby to snuggle!
