Mom is doing great. She walks like a heavy duck but everything is ready (or sort of) for me to come.
“It’s a waiting game at this point”, said Dr. Romero.
Dad got his TDAP shot today! (Tetanus Diphtheria and Pertussis)
Mom finally agreed with Aunt Patty to send the invitations to the baby shower.
My shower.
I’m the baby in question!
I’m quite big now! Dr. Romero said I’m about 5 Lbs.! That’s 453.592 grams, for my friends in the metric system!
Wow! How generous my aunts, uncles and madrina from Rosario!! I got a lot of gifts!!!
All these are from madrina Silvia (and niece and nephew Flor and Niki, and uncle Alfredo). They gave me a nice, light-blue one-piece suit, my first ball!, a cool blue jumpsuit, rabbit shoes, and my first silk undershirt, which has an embroidered wheat spike for fortune and good luck!
Madrina Silvia also bought (last minute!) a nice outfit for mom’s pregnancy (the one in black and white, at the top).
This one is a nice argentine-colors blanket from tia Monica:
These three are from the Ruiz family (Francisco, Francisco Junior, Adriana, Stefi and little Mercedes). They gave me a Peruvian outfit (in crisp red and white), an Argentine blanket (in light blue and white) and a Newell’s Old Boys’ official soccer Jersey! So cool!
This one is from uncle Gustavo (Hongo) and aunt Guillermina (Mini) – cool outfit!
Daddy returned home!! This is the APC (Automated Passport Control) photo when he arrived in Houston!
Mom went to pick dad up at Newark airport. And she’s showing her new belly!!
Can’t wait to open the bags and check out my presents!
Mommy woke up today with a name in mind…
Mom uses an App to track my growth! How advanced!
Today, Mom says I’m the size of a Rutabaga. Strange name.
Dad had to look one up in the grocery store. And he took a picture for mom!
