BIG NEWS!!!
Well we have some exciting news for you all. Leti is three months pregnant. We wanted to wait until the 3 month point to tell everyone because they say once you are past that point the danger of a miscarriage is a lot lower. She is due sometime around July and we do NOT plan to learn what the sex of the baby is ahead of time. We are VERY excited! I have to check on this but I have been told that the baby will have dual citizenship when it is born due to the fact that it has parents from 2 different countries.
Anyway that is all for today!! Talk to you soon!!

Congrats. Now, I am going to tell you something. Caesarian births are done almost routinely in this country. C-sections. The overwhelming majority, probably over 90 percent, of births are done this way almost exclusively for the convenience of the doctor. And C-sections should be reserved only for emergency situations.
But that is not the way it flies in Mexico. Probably Leti and all her relatives think this is perfectly okay and normal.
It is not. But, if you want it done any other way, you are going to have to put your foot down.
If it´s necessary, that is one thing, but most are not necessary, and C-sections are rough on mama and the new baby.
If you want, I can give you the email of a young woman married to a Mexican guy in Morelia who recently went through this same situation. She did not do the C-section. She could give you more details than I can.
Good luck.
