Yesterday and today we got to come to the main house to meet the rest of the staff and the babies. We first went to the NICU nursery where the little babies were. They have a couple of little boys that are very premie and about seven other babies that were around 0-9months old. Next we went and saw the older baby nursery where there were around 25 babies from 1-3 years old. They all were coming and giving us hugs and wanting us to lift them up to hold them. Don't worry daddy I remembered rule #5 and was holding about four of them. After getting the tour I went back to the nursery and hung out with the little babies. It is so hard to not hold them all at once. We had a Haitian meal for dinner which was delicious! Chicken, rice, fresh avacodo, and fresh fruit. Afterward we hung out with the older kids that were tackling us and playing with our hair. We finally went back to the toddler house were we hung out with other volunteers and staff. Agnus and Amy are two of the other volunteers that are with us. Amy is from Pennsylvanina and is staying until the end of May. Agnus is from France and will leave a week after we do.
Today we got to sleep in. After we got up we helped clean our house and made Maccaroni and Cheese for lunch. We are now up at the main house seeing the babies again. We all were assigned our four babies for the two weeks we are here. We will get to work with them individually fpor an hour each day. Helping them with their milestones will be one of the things we do and just loving them up. Tomorrow we will go to church up the mountian, then have lunch at the main housse.
I'm going to try to upload some pictures so we'll see if it works.
Also pray that Alyssa will get over her cold and that we can start picking up the language because we are struggling.
