Brave Mommy
new angel
That’s my 35-week old nephew, Justin. Isn’t he lovely? We think he is! In fact, we are all very excited to see him. Every member of the Vargas Family is eagerly waiting for his arrival and it won’t be long. My sister, who is a first time mom to be, is scheduled to give birth within this month. And you know what? Our family is kind of very traditional. Kally had a complete pre-natal check-up but she won’t be giving birth in the hospital. Instead, a licensed mid-wife was hired to attend to her during child delivery. We were at first horrified by her decision especially her husband who wouldn’t give his consent. We’ve heard a lot of horror stories about women who suffered compIications while giving birth at home. But Kally’s decision is final and she trusts Sally, the mid-wife, very much. They’ve been bestfriends ever since the world began. I think my sister is the strongest woman in the whole wide world! In her ultrasound report, it was written:
Within the gravid uterus is a single, live, male fetus presently in cephalic presentation … there are active cardiac pulsation and gross body movements…
I am honestly super dooper scared with the idea of her not wanting to go to the hospital but I also know that I have to respect her decision. I just trust the Lord that everything will be alright.
