Today was full of babies! The morning began with 2 c-sections and the afternoon ended with a natural birth. All of the births were so amazing. I have seen a few now but each one is still incredible to me. I think everyone is a bit amused at the hospital with how excited I get.
I also learned about how many women in India believe in astrology and the great importance of their horoscopes. Dr. Victoria had to rush to deliver both children before 10:30AM this morning because the mothers believed it was auspicious to birth a child before10:30AM today. Many women actually schedule their c-sections specifically for days that their horoscope agrees with. For similar reasons, Tuesdays tend to be slow days at the clinic. (I even found this website upon googling!)
The girls and I have slowly eased back into traditional Indian (except for Dawn who is still pretty sick) and we're enjoying everything the cooks are preparing. We're just trying to master the pronunciation of what we're eating-- chapati (thin wheat tortilla-like bread) has become a staple in our meals and we've got that one down!
I love getting your e-mails- keep sending! alexandradezii@gmail.com Nandri!
