The Waiting

I find myself doing a lot of this lately… It’s hard coming from a place and culture where you can pretty much get anything you want when you want it. Yeah, that’s not so much true here. Maybe it would be different if I could speak more Spanish, but the bottom line is things just move more slowly here. It’s not bad, it’s just different. Ben and I are actually waiting right now to see our doctor.

I called earlier this week trying to make an appointment and evidently I did not accomplish that task. No one really makes appointments here, you just go whenever you can and in turn you get to see the Doctor whenever he can. We have been at the office since 9:15 it’s now 3:20. Thank goodness we have some friends who are watching Lydi.

We were also supposed to do a hospital tour this morning, but no one ever returned my call. I am adjusting to the waiting game, but when it comes to our unborn child and where he will be born I’d like to maybe at least see where that will happen. I know that it will all work out, and waiting is good for me. It is stretching, but we are definitely learning to adapt as we learn more and more about our new home.
