Update

I imagine you have noticed the new change in our blog, and that is thanks to Rhonda. We really like the new template.

Today, Saturday May 3, is the birthday of my father, Santiago. He is 69 years old. Yesterday Tim wondered how old was my father, but I could not remember. I asked my father, and he said 69, and next year 70. I thank God for taking care of my father, and giving him strength.

I also wish to comment on my pregnancy. I often do not feel well, but I hear that is normal, especially in the first months of pregnancy. But I think I have not had the trouble that my sister Matilde had, who did not begin to feel better until the 7th month. I am only 9 weeks, and I do not know what I will go through. I wish very much for the 7th or 8th month.

My sisters tell me that the months pass by quickly, and to just be patient with it.

Now I am having some problems with some clothes that are not fitting me and soon I will have to get larger clothes. My husband and family want to see me with a big stomach, because that means the baby is almost here, and they can talk to and hold the baby.

I like to hear the stories that my mother and sisters have about when they were pregnant. It's good to hear those words because they help me.

The days when I had difficulties with food and smell were terrible, and now when I see women who are pregnant with a baby, I think: ¨they are brave¨. Because now I understand the process that a woman has to go through with the formation of the baby.

Here is the story of this week. I had a cold and was having problems with food and smell, which was really terrible because I could not work well and do other things that I wanted. One night my husband asked me to rub a cream on his back and it is a special cream for muscles. He told me that I should put a bit under my nose, and that would help me with my stuffed up nose. BUT I thought that he said that I should put a little cream in my nose. So after that I put cream on his back, and when I finished I had a little cream on my hands. I put a little in my nose and it was really terrible and my husband was surprised that I did that because he knew that it was painful, and so he helped me to be better. I think that day was the most difficult of all because various things happened to me, but the next day I felt better and today I am much better.

Yesterday I was reading a book about the creativity of parents in child development from the moment it is conceived to 10 years. I think that it is an interesting book and I now know some things that I did not know before and I want to put them into practice.
