Ready??

They say a spermatozoid is the smallest cellule of the human body, while the ovary is the biggest one. And combined together they create life. Each of these cellules contains all the genetic information from both the parents. At the same instant a spermatozoid enters the ovary, the whole genetic code of a new life will be establish. Amazing right!!! At that precise moment, even though our parents would not even know we are there, it will be already settled if we’ll be a boy or a girl, tall, short, timid, dynamic…

It’s simply awesome to have the power to create life. I feel so graceful. I know I’m lucky and I thank Mother Nature for that. Little Lucia will be soon around us. I just can’t wait to hold her and feel her skin next to mine, when still attached by the umbilical cord. I guess is a magic moment for every mother. 9 months together, some hours of struggle and then she’s there, with a whole life waiting infront of her.

I just hope I did everything OK so far. Maybe I should have rested more, eaten better, listen to gentler music than NIN, Vitalic, Foo fighters…

Today I decided it was time for Vivaldi, but still my favorite piece is from the “Summer”, Concert n° 2 in G minor, the Presto part. It has so much energy; I can sort of feel the vibrations from the string instruments under my skin. Surprisingly I feel calmed and strong. I close my eyes, and my worries are gone I feel easy in mind, just for a little while, it feels so good.

Then, when the last note gets lost in silence I get back to reality. The D day is almost here, and am I ready?

This film just came out in the USA - The business of being born; do I really know all my options, how to make this easier not only for me but mainly for Lucia?... ? Hummm

Hey, this is a pic of the hospital, spooky right? Looks like Mr.Potters school! :)

32 weeks and 3 days!!

At 30 weeks our baby is getting bigger and bigger. Calcium, iron and proteins are very important at this stage for the cell growth and multiplication, essential for her organism. She must be around 1.3Kg or more!

At 31 weeks I think there is less and less room in there. I can feel her moving quite often, and sometimes this is not very comfortable I must say. But I like to see her interacting with me in a way. I talk and sing to her and I hope she likes it. I have some trouble sleeping because her kicks and somersaults keep me up, but hey, afet all this moving is a sign that she is active and healthy.

Today at 32 weeks her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. Her nails have reached the end of her fingers and to my surprise, I dreamt about this last night. That she sort grabbed my finger and i could feel her nails… curious. On Friday my doctor will tell me how the baby will come to this world, normally she should be turning herself head down, before she gets to big to do it.

We already told everyone; she’ll be called Lucia. We chose this name long time before conceiving her. One day we were talking about babys and stuff and somehow we both instantly agreed on this one if a baby girl. Our little Lucia, mom and dad cant wait to see your face…
