And I am waiting for a woman to deliver twins--and not by c-section. The first baby is head down, the second baby is breech (bottom/feet down). There are many people in the US who deliver babies who go their entire careers without ever seeing a vaginal twin birth or a vaginal breech birth. I've seen a twin birth here, but not a breech birth, and since I think knowing how to do a breech birth is one of the most important things a midwife working without reliable access to c-sections or ultrasounds can know (and I hope at some point to be serving that community), I'm waiting up for it.
That's all I have to say.
Other than that, speaking of babies, this is what a baby pomegranate looks like, growing on the pomegranate tree behind the hospital. Who knew?
