AUTUMN

Autumn. What can we say about autumn? is it boring? it's not as popular as summer, not as "creepy" as winter and absolutely not as happy as spring, isn't it? but however, there's something I think autumn has that no other season has: it makes me want to be at home. It's the only time of the year that I want to see rain- not to get wet of course-and have a big cup of hot chocolate. At this time I'm sitting in front of my computer writing this, Valentina is playing with her toys and every now and then she comes closer and ask me something that I can't understand but I can guess. I'm feeling a little bit cold but it's not so unpleasant, it's the perfect way to enjoy this weather. I should be just coming home from work but I'm enjoying this thanks to my morning sickness and my brother's influenza, which is not so nice when you're pregnant, that's why I had to be here instead of going to work and then to my mum and dad's to take Valentina home. Now, I'm going to stop writing because my little girl wants me to put a little tiger on ...I don't know where but...I can guess. Happy Autumn!

FATIGUE...

Oh God...could I ever feel worse? Is it the pregnancy or just me? the fact is that I've felt tired, but Tired...(with a capital T). Only today has been an almost normal day, despite of the bus strike,everything was almost ok.

From now on I think I have to take care of myself, but seriously. After all...there's someone else inside me, and another one beside me, I mean Valentina.

IT'S GOING TO BE 4 OF US NOW!!

Yes, it is. It seems very strange to me, I'm just trying to get used to the idea that by the end of the year it's going to be four of us. Do you know what it means? It means that eventhough we are going to feel tired, our lives are going to change... a lot. It means that we're going to be even happier than before. Two days ago we went to the doctor for an ultrasound, and there he/she was. The difference now is that Valentina was also there with us, so she could look and say hello. Today when I was watching that tape, she came closer and said " look! brother!" can you believe it? she is growing up, and she is understanding everything, so when the moment comes we will be ready for this new member of the family. Welcome little one!

OH...HOLIDAY...

One of my favorites words is "beach", and by "beach" I instinctivly think of Guanaqueros. Yes, the place where I go every single year since 1996, and dispite of jokes and everything, I don't think I would change it, those who have been there know it. Searching in the web I found too many people who use to go there and they think as I do. Anyhow...the point is in two more days my 2008 holiday begins, and I'm as anxious as always. I already miss the beach, seafood, sand, and well...everything, so for those who stay...this little present about our 2007 holiday: enjoy the view.

HAPPY BIRTHADAY VALENTINA!

EMMITA

Unfortunately, sometimes you don't have the opportunity to meet our grandfathers and grandmothers. In this point I think I'm a lucky person. I met them all. The four of them. However Emmita, my dad's mum, left us when I was only 4. But it was enough time to love her. I don't remember her calling me by my name, instead she always called me " doll!". The thing is she passed away 32 years ago. And the most important thing is I was a little child but...I remember her.
