Baby Grows Up
In February 2008 eleven months ago we were in the La Penita RV Park and the pregnant Mexican gal who tirelessly opened her little restaurant near the pool each day so many of us could walk over for a great breakfast or a pretty good sandwich mid day delivered a little nina, bebe Karen.
Mom to be "Ceci" as she was affectionately known became a friend to us all as her big smile, dedication to her task, and daily presence could be counted on as she progressed through her pregnancy.
Cesi worked up to near the day she delivered and when she did deliver news spread quickly throughout the park and those who were closest to her planned a baby shower much as would be held in the U.S. or Canada. It seems that many of Cesi's family came to the event including grandma's, sisters, cousins, and etc. For those of us in the park it was a wonderful moment to be able to share the joy of this new little person and for a moment we felt like family. Below is a picture of Kathleen on that day holding little 'bebe Karen'.
Today at eleven months of age little Bebe Karen appears to be happy, healthy, and the apple of her mamma's eye. Her surrogate auntie and uncle are pretty pleased as well!
