For those of us who are on the way down, and planning a trip to Ascuncion...what items are on the baby's wish list? Tiny sarapes? Mini sombreros?
Something practical like Onesies?
Izzak is just doing his Libra thang...should I come out? Should I stay here?
Soon the little critter will be in your arms, Sirena. The joy of a baby's birth is beyond description. Without a doubt the most amazing experience on
this planet. Mulegemichael and I are thinking of you this morning...give your Mom an Advil for that headache...or send her out for a celebratory
Marguerita!

we had a wonderful day.waiting for Izaak..a rare sunny, hot, windless day in GN. We walked to Las Cazuelas for a nice fruit and oatmeal
breakfast....walked around town a bit, visited the tias, ate ice cream, then we had a lovely afternoon at the "beach" by El Faro and I had a terrific
swim.
Then we went to a friends new restaurant for teriyaki chicken which I think will be Sirenita's last meal for a couple days as her contractions are
gettin VERY intense...fewer smiles now...she said she feels like shes watching an old 8 mm flick...she's doing really well and handling like a real
trooper...she's very brave.
It's gonna be a long night at the Cowboy Motel...keep pulling for her amigos....she's gonna need all your prayers and strength...it is now officially
48 hours she's been working on this "project".
Here she was at la posita this afternoon...this may be the last look at that big belly.

You're doing great little mama, hang in there your son is almost here now. Grandma, I know it's hard watching your "baby" become a mom, but soon
you'll be holding him in your arms. Best wishes to all. How's dad holding up?

dad is like a rock...holding sirenita up...she's getting shaky now. We found out that nobody is allowed in the hospital with her...I'll talk about
that later...I'm so mad...so we are going to have our labour support here at the Cowboy Hotel till the last possible minute so sirena has our help
through this difficult time...thanks nomads for all your prayers and support....it is much appreciated.

buenos dias todos....well....can you say REHEARSAL???
Sirenita was doing so well till at 1:30 a.m. she closed her eyes to rest...fell asleep and so did baby Izaak....all contractions ceased!!!!!! We just
couldnt believe it but that little rascal decided he didnt like the doctor on call and chose to wait a bit longer. Baby seems fine, sirena slept like
a baby and we are going for another ultrasound now to make sure there are no complications...maybe we should start another poll!!!
So anyone passing through GN can come and cheer us on at the Cowboy Hotel...the owner has been fantastic to us...hell, we feel like just having the
baby here!!!
So, it's another gorgeous day here...got more walking to do...more sushi to eat and waiting waiting waiting...

ohhhhhhhhhh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Izaak is an attention getter for sure hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
glad Sirena got some sleep, better to prepare her for today
ummmmmmmmm, we think today is THE day, right ???!!!!!! Wake up, Izaak!
Not even Adrian will be allowed in ??? IN Brazil, no one but the dad was allowed in ... but come on, AT LEAST THE DAD. It is such a bonding moment.
Well, Shari, maybe we have another project to add on ???? Enlightening the hospitals as to the importance of bonding and family being allowed in the
birthing room .....
Good luck you all !!!!!!!!!!

Blanca...we have just been talking about that. Our experience with 5 emergency room doctors has been nothing short of exasperating and downright
crappy...not what one wants for something as beautiful as a birth experience. Sirena just mentioned that maybe she should study midwifery to help
anxious mothers to be like herself.
I just cannot believe there is NO clinic or doctor who attends births outside the "normal" hospital regs....and that the policy is so strict NOT to
let ANYONE in the birthing area...that is just plain WRONG.
OK, I'm kinda tired and frustrated with the whole process...but sirena is in good spirits...thank goddess for magic jack as we could talk to friends
of mine who are midwives and they answered our questions and gave assurance to sirena that all is well....izaak walks...er swims to his own
drum...kinda like Dennis!
catch ya later amigos....pray for dilation!!!

Sirena has had a fantastic idea .... no one should have to go thru this alone and we are in 2010 !! What a beautiful idea to study to be a midwife ..
I was so lucky - I went to a special birth center, not a hospital, to have my son !! It was fantastic, the rooms were beautiful and the philosophy
of the center was: pregnant women are not sick, they are simply having a baby.
Good luck with everything GRANDMA, and yeah, we have to bring Baja Sur into the present regarding women giving birth.

IMO: Monday September 27th 10:48pm....hoooollllaaaaa Isaak.
Sirena sounds so strong and what a fortunate one to have all you guys who love her around for support.
Must be difficult to not be in the room at the hospital but that's great you have midwives to call until then.
If Isaak comes around happy hour I say we all raise a toast to our new little nomadito.
Wishing Sirena and Isaak all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shari - Mike's daughter and husband had twins in Japan six months ago. Same scene...not even the dad in the delivery room, but at a cool seven feet,
he did a lot of towering over everyone and got his way. Guess that's pretty common in lots of other countries, a bummer for sure.
