It's a boy, and he's gorgeous...

Today we went on the second Outreach Visit.
In case I never described this before, what happened was that one of our Comm Health projects this year was to go to a health centre where we were introduced to an expectant mother ie a pregnant lady and we had the oppurtunity to interview her and find out a bit about her background and watch as she was examined by a nurse. We got a lovely young lady named Jiselle. She was articulate and friendly and it was truly very easy to speak with her.
But the first visit was also plagued with logistical troubles.
That visit was in October/November. She gave birth in late November. Today's trip was sort of a follow up. We saw the mother again and asked her some more questions, we saw the baby [who was really really cute] and got to examine the baby a little. Everything went smoothly logistic-wise so that was good.
It was so nice to get to see the baby. He was adorable. And he was active and he was watching all of us and he held my finger. And he smiled for us :-). After the visit I was seriously considering switching my plan from specialising in psychiatry to specialising in paediatrics. Imagine havign your patients be beautiful babies instead of ppl with mental problems. Sounds cool, huh?
I really do want to be a daddy someday. I know I'm not ready yet.....but eventually... . The last time we went, I was amused at how maternal Krishanta was getting, but this time I understand a little better.
Seeing that little boy and how proud his mommy was made my day!
