I woke up this morning and there was a baby. My host sister Lucy had just delivered her baby girl. I somehow managed to sleep through this. Around five or so this morning, I heard a bunch of talking and then someone put a movie on for some reason, I just thought, “Oh whatever,” rolled over and went back to sleep, never suspecting that a baby was being born.

So I guess the delivery went smoothly. Lucy looks good. The baby is teeny, sleepy and covered in a fine white fuzz.

The baby’s name is Elisapeta – after me.
