I'm trying to decide if I'm ready to join the ranks of the Israel bloggers. But I'll give it a shot...

Today is the one month birthday of Ariella Devora, the newest member of the family. Born at Shaarei Tzedek Hospital on Friday April 16th. Shabbat there was a bizarre experience. I'm wearing my hospital gown, and about 98% of the women were dressed in beautiful robes and had their hair covered. No one spoke to me...no loss, I enjoed the quiet bonding time with our newest princess.
