<\/a><\/p>\nHere he is not long after he was born.<\/p>\n
Shortly after returning to the village in April, our neighbour had her baby. She was very willing to have Christina and I attend the birth of her third child. Our plan was to just sit back and observe how they do things.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long into the pushing stage, that we realized that we were going to be needed to lend a hand. We had already known that her first 2 children were very hard deliveries. It was very scary to watch and even help as she pushed for about 3 hrs before the baby was born. I spent so much time praying for her and that little baby. We learned so much by watching and helping, in how they do things. This was the first baby that we have ever seen born. We are so thankful that mother and baby were ok after all that hard work.<\/p>\n
I do my best to visit almost every day. I don\u2019t want him to be scared of the white lady!!! His most favourite thing to do just as soon as I get him in my arms\u2026is to pee on me! It is the running joke now. Yesterday as him mom passed him to me, she said he didn\u2019t have even a cloth diaper on, just little shorts. Of course I took him and of course within minutes I was wet!<\/p>\n
