Bangkok!

We arrived easily to Bangkok; the flight was long, 9 hours, but not too bad. We slept quite a bit, since we got on the plane at midnight - around Littletree's usual bedtime, and got off at 6am, it worked well for us.

Flying Thai air was definitely a good choice - we're so used to flying with the cheap crappy internet airlines, having a flight with comfier seats and individual DVD screens and meals and blankets and all that was really nice.

We got out of the airport really quickly and efficiently, and took a taxi straight to my friend Mamarabbit's condo. It was so great to meet her in real life - so far we've only known each other online, from MDC and a Student Midwife's forum.

Here's Me with Littlettee, Mamarabbit and one of the twins - I never got the hang of which was which!

Mamarabbit is amazing; she has four children under four! A daughter, Princess, who is 4.5, a son, Angel, who is 2.5, and twin daughters, Song of Faith and Tears of Joy, 6 months old! Their little 2br apartment is pretty hectic, as you can imagine. Mamarabbit even birthed her twins at home, unassisted!

Here's me with the twins - they were so sweet, and exclusively breast-fed as well! Of course, I'm looking very tired.

So we hung out with them for the day, and stayed the night. Littletree and Princess got on great, and spent the day playing together.

They had a great time dressing up and playing princesses, and tormenting Angel.

Here's the girls in the garden...

And feeding the fish in the lake...

Sadly we couldn't stay more than a day, but at least Mamarabbit and I had a good chance to chat and talk about birth and parenting :)

Now Littletree and I have moved into Banglamphu - the main tourist area of Bangkok. We were lucky enough to get the exact same room we lived in for 2 weeks a year ago! It definitely helps Littletree to feel comfortable having something familiar. Tomorrow night we fly to Tel Aviv!
