Last Sunday our friend Auntie Batu gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. We had been anxiously awaiting her delivery with the hopes of possibly being present during the delivery. But unfortunately we were not present and personally I was okay with that(I wasn't sure I could handle it).


However, last night as we were just getting home from visiting Ngolola, the nurse called us into the clinic to see if we wanted to witness a delivery. A woman had come in that afternoon and was ready to deliver. With queasy stomachs, Sarah and I agreed. There were some complications because the mother was not wanting to push, so it took much longer than it should have. Finally, and 10:00pm sharp, she gave birth to a handsome little man, with a very mis-shapen head.


It was an amazing experience to witness the miracle of life. And all I have to say is that I can wait a while to do that!
