In the past few days...
- Another premature baby arrived.
- A big girl, four years old, from another orphanage spent a few days here with the babies since GLA is processing her adoption. I got to spend some time playing with her today; she's very sweet.
- My roommates from Canada left.
- A new group of volunteers came (although they are not staying with me). A family of four from Alaska.
- One adoptive mother came to pick up her little girl and bring her home.
- Another adoptive family came for the first out of two trips to Haiti to go to court and such.
- One of my babies had a visit from his biological mother.
- We've been going on a lot of walks.
- Some random guy on a motorcycle stopped and asked, or rather demanded, that I give him my phone number. I didn't.
- Two volunteer nurses, Caitlin and Cheryl, came to organize the medicine cabinets and left this morning.
- I got sick and then I got better again (in case you hadn't already read bout it...)
- A sweet and very tiny premature baby died last night.
In the next few days...
- I'm having a sleepover with Lilly.
- There's an event at the Haitian church for the kids that I get to be a part of.
- This weekend is an outing weekend, though I'm not sure exactly what that outing will be.
- I hope to snuggle up sometime soon and watch some good old Pride and Prejudice as a very good way of coping with post-puke lethargy.
Hooray for families coming to meet their babies, and even better to take them home!
ReplyDeleteGood decision on the motorcycle guy.
ReplyDeleteP&P sounds like a lovely idea.
Will your sleepover be in that charming room with the bunkbeds in the photo in which Lilly is holding a parasol?
Hope you don't mind me posting under different names. It sometimes feels like a hassle to switch back and forth.
