OK, it has been MONTHS since I have blogged here. There are so many things to catch up on, it seemed hard to restart.

  Event #1

   At the end of May, I announced I was having a baby

   Event #2

   On August 20th, I gave birth to a lovely baby girl – Esther Josephine Temba

    I tried to break the record for waiting to tell the family I was pregnant. I think I did a pretty good job – 30 weeks. We L&D nurses are a superstitious bunch. A lot of people said it was nice because the pregnancy seemed to go by fast. In Tanzania women can wait that long so none of our African friends thought it was unusual.

  That is about it for our big events that I have missed writing about here. I will have to go back and tell more about our birth story in another post. For now I am a Mommy Blogger. Be warned – the blog will now contain lots of inane posting about my child doing things that everyone's child has been doing for tens of thousands of years. It just seems fascinating now when it is your own offspring.
