What a place.
I have had 4 births that we had the babies here and a few transports. But all is good. I have fallen in love with it here and I can't believe I have been here 12 days and I can't believe I only have 20 more. It is going way too fast. I love it all. I have had some amazing experiences and I haven't even had that many births yet. It is great. The Filipino midwives are great with me and I have enjoyed getting to know them. They are hilarious and make me laugh a lot. We have a good time. We had a baby in a bus/jeep thing the other night that was exciting. The mother got here and baby and placenta were out. Everyone was fine and went home the next day. We had a more difficult birth last night but we all worked together really well and mother and baby are doing well.
I enjoy my postpartum visits because we get to go out into their homes and see all over. They are so loving and generous it overwhelms me. God has really touched my heart for these people. It is amazing to me how fast I just fell into being here and what I thought would be enough time to experience it and get what I need suddenly seems way too short and like I could stay for a long time. (minus my boys of course) I have also been blessed because I was so hesitant to leave Will for this long and I have been great about it. I of course miss him but not the ache that I felt before I left. I feel that I have been given a gift that is healing my heart. I love that God know me so well that I didn't even know how much I needed this. I am overwhelmed with His love and what happens when we follow in obedience. I have even been okay with the fact that there hasn't been many births. Because I have a peace that God has brought me here and that His plan is not my own. He knows what I need and what is in my future. I am excited for the next few days
