So yesterday I had my appointment with my midwife. She is awesome and we feel so blessed to have her help with this pregnancy. While at the appointment we realized i had a slight bladder infection so today I went to the Adventist doctor for some lab work. It was interesting. We walked into the clinic and they were having a prayer meeting. So we joined them and listed to a little bible study/prayer in Kinyarwanda. Not something that would happen in the states. So of course i had to go pee in a cup. I tell you what, it is hard to pee in a cup in a place where you don't want to sit on the toilet and you are pregnant. My legs were almost shaking from trying not to fall. I know ya'll wanted to know all that. :) So the test came back and the doctor didn't feel like it was an infection that needed to be treated right now. It wasn't bad enough for a pregnant woman to take meds. so i have to force myself to drink tons of water, which i do not like doing but for the sake of the baby i will. He is a great doctor and we are glad we found him. He is from the states and is a cardiologist.
So after i went out and about shopping with a friend. It was fun. it is always interesting shopping in Africa. I wish i had all the time to tell all the stories. life is different for sure.
So my friend dropped me off at the Chinese restaurant where i was meeting spencer for lunch. I had a huge bowl of soup. It was yummy... despite the bugs in the soup. The first bug I said wellll it really isn't that big so i took it out and kept eating. The second bug was even smaller so i kept going and said okay if there is one more i will stop. So the last thing i found i couldn't decide if it was a bug so i just stopped looking at my soup while i ate. Seriously it was too yummy to throw out. ahhh the things you do in a different culture!
so right now i am suppose to be cooking dinner while spencer is cutting luke's hair. so, i better go. we are having Chinese leftovers lol!
we are headed out to a village about 3 1/2 hours away tomorrow. we have to leave here at 6am in order to get to the wedding festives on time. we will come back on sunday. and i am sure with lots of fun stories and pictures.
okay love all yall and remember... sometimes it is just better to eat at Chinese resturants (at least the one here) at night... there's less to see :)
