another neighbor

I went to go see a friend that got married not long before we left. She had moved to another village, but is here for the next couple of weeks. She now has a two month old little boy. When I went to her house, another neighbor had told me she was home, they were having a "baby party" for another lady. Her baby was10 days old. For the forty days after a lady has a baby people come over daily to visit, thats the baby party. on certain days of that 40 days they will have music and Koren readings, and different things. but the day I went it was just a few women there talking. I had Abram dressed in pants and short sleeve shirt and no shoes, it is not cold. I was actually rather warm in this house. However, the two month old had on a had and two layers of clothes and was wrapped in a wool blanket. the 10 day old was wrapped even more then that. I held my friends baby and we talked about boys and babies and how things had been going. She was thankful to be in the city for awhile and so thankful that things seem much better now. She seemed very hopeful for the future. I'm hoping to go back this week and maybe talk more to her, I had given her a Book before she got married and I would love ask her if she has read and maybe talk more about things of the heart.
Of course, I may need to dress Abram a little more warm next time, they were very concerned about him and they wanted to know if I least put a hat on him and wrapped him when he was little. So funny!
