June 17th...
Well we are finally surfacing after much challenge of mending ourselves..and at the same time
working on taking care of Amaya...most am start with.small walk before too hot..around 6am...
then a shower...ceral for Amaya and breakfast time on the huge terrace ..overlooking the ocean .
Dad always orders fried eggs and bacon...toast..and musli and fruit..A big appetite! I have green tea and fruit only..of course sharing some of my mango and watermellon with Amaya too.
1PM-Amaya just fell asleep on her 1st hammock nap...it was so sweet and decided to try this as many of the Vietnamese use hammocks to rock thier children asleep.I remember on the sail boats how much the kids loved sleeping in the hammocks..so very restful
We continue to love our place here and have got quiet friendly with the caretakers..they are from New Zealand and have really outdone themsleves with helping us...picked up medicine for us...taken orders at the local market...baby formula especially...and general kindness .
I'm also glad to say i'm really happy with feeling better...it wasn't too serious but being sick overseas as well as taking care of a baby you learn to plunge through the fog and continue on..making for a tired mummy!!
Another note..that gives me a great amont of peace of mind is that there is a local dr who speaks english and knows what he is doing.

I'd advise all parents to always ask if a clinic or hospital is speaking english in your area
Did i tell you how hot it is here...Wow ...I'll never complain in T.O again...Having a baby here you have
to take in that she has very limited time in the heat..which makes walks only eve and am which is cool.
Last nite we ate at a lovely spot..yes on the water again....and met some lovely Aussi who were doing some humintarian work at orphanges..she was so very taken with Amaya and wanted all her details...she takes care of infants at home so she gave me this website for making baby food from scatch and it has other links supposely.

Here is Amaya 1st dip in pool..we only put her legs in ....and if she wants a little deeper we head for the ocean which has no chemicals in it!
Glad to hear you are feeling better! You two look so sweet in the pool.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that you are feeling better. It sounds as though you have still managed to have a wonderful time through it all. Enjoy!
