Definitivamente I win! Esa flaca del dibujo no sabe... Será que Calvin irá a nacer antes?

Happy! Papá

Papá! My mamá told me today that Sunday it was Fathers' Day. (Is that why she asked me so much to say "happy" to you? Now I get it...) Anyway... I really want to write you another letter, just like I did last year. I guess it made more sense to write it now that you are gone and besides, I did not want my mom to get jealous (I have not gotten in the habit of writing her a letter on Mothers' Day).

So... Where are you? I woke up last night and I actually had to walk to your bedroom. I got to the bed and you were not there! My mamá was all by herself. And this morning! I wanted to keep on sleeping but Sugar started howling! He was waiting for you to walk him... And I was waiting too, so that I could go back to sleep! But instead, I decided to wake my mamá up by pulling on her funny looking rope-hairs. Man, it is hard for me to get her out of bed! I wanted my leche and she did not give it to me until almost 7am! Can you imagine!?

Today I found a picture of you inside my mamá's school bag. Someone had drawn long hair on a piece of paper and had stuck it around your picture! You looked funny! But I decided that I did not like it, so I peeled the fake hair off. I was happy to see you, so I gave you a kiss. I also was giving you a hug, but the picture was getting kind of wrinkled so my mom took it away and stuck it on the cork board.

I miss you, papá. I miss your smell when you come home from running and you hug me and give me a big kiss. I miss your throwing me up in the air (even though it's kind of scary). I miss that you carry me a lot. My mommy does not carry me as much as you, and when she does her belly really gets in the way (I seriously think she should lay off the Nutella --her belly's HUGE!)

Lua enseñando su teta

Lua estA aprendiendo las partes de su cuerpo. Ya sabe: cabeza, nariz, ojos, dientes, lengua, boca, brazo, manos, cuello, teta, ombligo, pipi, pies, elbow... Creo q esas son todas... Acá hace una demostración de ombligo y teta.

La diferencia q tengo con esta foto es q -según lo q me ha dicho el doctor- mi placenta (es mi placenta o la placenta de Calvin?), nuestra placenta está situada en la parte posterior de mi útero. O sea q no está pegada a la barriga, sino a a la columna. Creo q por eso (por la falta de barrier) cuando me toco la barriga, puedo sentir a Calvito clarito! Y mi barriga se mueve, con vida propia, cada vez q Calvin se mueve tb.

En un poco más d una semana, JK se va de viaje por 3 semanas. Seguiré embarazada cuando él regrese? Se adelantará el baby? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Acá está mi real barriga to the left. My bellybutton's almost out.
