Phoebe's Little Boy

We all went over to Phoebe's house last night to visit. I even had my camera with me.

Here he is, 12 days old. Still no name. Cute as a button. Looks just like Phoebe.

New Addition

We got a new baby in our family on December 4th. Hence, why all blog info has stopped for several days. After a long day (and night) at the house opening I decided everyone was taking Thursday off and sleeping in.
This worked until 4:11 AM when I got a phone call that Martha was truly in labor. So, we were all at the hospital by 5AM.

We got us another baby girl in our family at 11:45AM. It was a normal (read - non-caesarean) delivery. Which is HUGE. It is the first time in 9 years in this city that I have ever seen a child born in a private hospital delivered non-cesarean. A Great Big answer to prayer. I had even prayed that the Doctor wouldn't even mention caesarean - and she didn't. Normal from start to finish.

Martha and baby came home from the hospital tonight - which is a big relief because in India you have to provide all your own food for patients and since O. left yesterday morning to Rajasthan with our car, it was mighty difficult for me to get food, etc. back and forth to the hospital. Anyway. All is good.

No name yet for baby, but she was born with really long fingernails - she gets them from me - and I thought it very cool of her to use them to scratch her parents' initials on her cheek the first day. M. A. (Martha, Amar).

Me with E. and G. after a long but productive night. (Martha's Doctor is also my Doctor so I keep getting instructed to lay down, take a rest, go home. At one point my Doctor was sending messages up to me via visitors to the hospital. "Uh, your Doctor says you're supposed to be resting."

Boy Season

2008 must be a fertile year because tons of people are pregnant.

Our co-worker, Suresh, became the first time father of a little boy on Friday, then my brother, Dan, had a boy (#3) yesterday. My sister-in-law, Martha, is due with her first on the 19th of this month, then me in Feb, then my other sister-in-law in March. Not to mention the other, uhh 6-7 (???) ladies in our church who are pregnant right now...

Anyway, the first two were healthy, non c-section births, and boys. Must be the beginning of "Boy Season..."

Congratulations!!! and Praise the Lord!!!
