Tour of Duty

With the big day in around seven weeks, the finishing line is starting to get in sight. Given that we just did a tour of the hospital and the set-up there.

Would have been around 15 couples there and 15 couples who represented the whole spectrum of Israeli society. Ranging from the frum couple who asked if there was a Niddah issue with the husband cutting the umbilical cord to the Scientological couple who asked if it would be ok for them to eat the placenta.

The highlight of the tour would have been stopping by where the new-borns were gathered and when I say new-borns I am talking less than 12 hours old. They were so cute and its amazing to think that soon there will be one of those which we can call our own and not only can we look and ogle at it but we can take it home as well.
