Eight and a half months along...and dying in the heat and humidity -- I hope she comes soon!!!
A few different things we are required to do in order to have our baby in a hospital in Brazil:
- pay our hospital bill BEFORE she is born
- bring our own diapers, wipes, shampoo, powder, soap and even the hat for the baby
- bring my own medical file, as they don't keep any information
- find a place to have her immunizations done after she and I get out, as they do not administer them in the hospital.
- AND...have her in a hospital. It's actually illegal to have a baby at home. The hospital is only five miles away, but can take over an hour to get there in the traffic. Pray we make it in time!
Our next blog will be an introduction to the newest member of our family!
