Frank is counting the days until I’m home again, and reminded me that I only have 12 days left here. It’s already precious to cuddle Asa until he falls asleep in my arms, then gingerly put him down. And he started to smile on Wednesday, just short of being 4 weeks! So much as I want to go home, I’ll be sad to leave!! It’s always amazing to be at a birth, and witness the first weeks of an new being’s life. An honour.
