A jumping belly!

Hello baby girl! How are you today? Very active I may say. Lately you have being moving a lot, up and down inside you mommy's belly. Sometimes it hurts a little, says your mom. I have witnessed you constant movements. You mom is sure you are making exercises by pushing hands or feet. I don't know what to think, because frankly it is amazing how much you move.

Last night, we were watching your current home, you mommy's belly, from the outside of course. What we saw is really hard to describe, and even harder to write. Your mommy's belly began to move as the waves of the sea. We could literally see you moving. You mom's belly button went left, right, left... up, and right. It was incredibly fun, and at the same time shocking to already be seeing our beautiful daughter moving.

I don't know if this will last more weeks, or even months and years! Will you be sport oriented? I sincerly don't have the answer to that. But at least you are proving something really important, the most important of all, your anxious wish to live life. It doesn't matter if you become an olimpic athlete, what matters is that your wish for life is undisputable. Never surrender under the gloom of a self-proclaimed defeat, tear down the tyrannical ruleship of sadness, and overcome triumphant all evils to live life with open skies.

A bigger baby!

Baby, long time has passed since I last wrote you. I have been busy, mainly because I married your beautiful mom. All things went well for both of us, but specially for you. When you arrive to this world, your mom and me will be waiting for you precious baby with all the things you need for your first days in this world. You're still small, but not so much now! You've grown enormously in comparison with the rest of the months. Your mom and me are in pure awe by seeing you growing day by day, almost hour after hour. It is impressive young baby how life works, especially inside the womb. Right now the womb is your home, very cozy for you I might add. Last Thursday we went with the doctor, with yet another appointment. Guess what baby, you mother and me caught you peacefully resting in complete relaxation. In fact we saw how you yawning without hesitation. Your small and fragile arms floating, and you were resting on your mommy's stomach.


By the way, according to the doctor, and after many deliberations, he finally said you are going to be a baby girl. I don't know about you baby, but out here we are having some political turmoil after the July 2nd elections in Mexico. Many polls pointed toward different candidates, and still today after the election, no one still knows who won. With you baby, this will be different, because all "polls" (ultrasounds that is) indicate you are going to be a baby girl. There was first a 90% chance, then it went up to a 98%. Finally, last Thursday the doctor told us he was a 100% sure you are going to be a girl. Who is the only one that truly knows? You! Both your grandmothers are preparing you your babyshower. A baby shower is a party were people gather with presents to celebrate and welcome the arrival of a baby. In this case, it is you! Right now, while I'm writing in this warm night, I have to my right the first invitations my mom is doing for your babyshower. You see baby, you haven't done your proper arrival and people are already thinking about you. Invitations, parties, and presents are being thought for you, and only for you, and you aren't still here. Imagine baby girl, when you arrive, everyone will love you. Above all, your parents, your mother and me, will cherish you more.

It is good to know people are preparing your arrival, but it is better to actually have your parents ready for you. We love you so much already. I hope you will love us as much as we care for you already. I only hope, because you will have complete freedom to choose how much to love us. I, personally baby girl, will not force you to love me. But to the contrary, my sole duty to you is to love you and give you all I can humanly can. That's it! It is up to you how you will look to us, according of course, to our actions. Yet I swear, baby girl, that I will do my best, and even more, to look after you. To protect you from harm and evil, and to give you guidance. I will not impose you anything, only my love. I ignore wich will be your favorite type of music in the future, or your favorite actor, or even your political position. I even ignore which religion you will choose, or what kind of spouse. Maybe I will agree in some things with you, maybe not. But that's secondary baby. The only thing that I don't ignore is that I will support you because your are my unborn daughter. At any stage of the road you decide to take, always remember that I love you. And that, baby girl, is good enough.

Well, baby girl, I have to go for now. I hope to write you sooner. I promise. But for now, keep resting, now is the time! Rest!
