The Namesake

Once upon a time there was an ordinary woman, with an ordinary husband and an ordinary life. She wanted a child badly and tried all types of therapy for 5 years without any results.

Finally she decided to give up.

Just when she thought that it was all over, she found out that she was pregnant!

During the 9 months of pregnancy, the ordinary woman still traveled to work on a Metromini (awful bus), still ran up and down stairs and lived a normal life.

A few months into pregnancy, the ordinary woman realized that her stomach was abnormally large. Her doctor reassured her that it was only due to the size of the baby. What a whopper!

On the 9th month, the ordinary woman went into labor. Her child came out normally, no difficulties whatsoever.

Until the doctor suddenly shouted, "There's another one!"

The woman almost fainted out of shock and started to scream at the doctor. What made it worse was that the second baby was in an upside down position, with the feet coming out first.

All went well though, and the second baby was born.

The woman and her husband didn't have a name yet for the second baby.

But because of the unexpected gift of a second child after 6 years, they wanted to be thankful.

So, they named the baby "Gracia".
