Winnie Abby

Yesterday was incredible. I volunteered at the Maternity Ward again and witnessed 3 births. African woman are unbelievable. My personal responsibility was to take the placenta after it was delivered and dump it in a metal bucket with the rest. Such an honor I know. We also got to wrap the baby up and help the mother breastfeed for the first time. It was such a neat experience, words can't even describe it. To top it all off there is now a baby in Africa named after me and my partner at the hospital. Winnie Abby and you better believe she is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Ha just like the two Mzungus she saw as she entered this world.
